Get the Fuck Outta Here!

I nearly choked on my beer when I read this!

When oh when are we going to stop making excuses for people?

Hey! If you're fat, its not your fault! its like catching a cold or the chicken pox, no seriously!

I totally can't wait for 'lazy' to become a virus :-

Hey Mark, why do you sit around all day, watching TV and drinking beer?
Haven't you heard? I got that damn lazy virus, yea, its a real bummer, but my Disability Living Allowance cheque makes it a little more easy to take

For fucks sake!

You never see active people coming down with this obesity virus do you? Fuck me, Rick Waller probably could sue someone - he could have been an Olympic sprint champion!

Diabetes Update

Well, I have been to the Dr's a few times now since my diabetes diagnosis. I have even over come my fear of needles, and had my blood taken twice now

My HBa1c test came back with a result of 6.9%, which is good, as 'they' like to see diabetics with a number below 7%, which means Im controlling it well with diet and exercise

My liver, kidneys & pancreas are all functioning perfectly well, and my cholesterol is 4.2 mmol/l, which is great too. However, they have put my on a 40mg dose of Simvastatin, to reduce my cholesterol, which seems a little severe to me? My LDL levels are 2.9 mmol/l and they like them to be around 2 mmol/l it seems. However, 40mg, seems a bit like over-kill to me.

Im still reeling to find Im diabetic, as I have always been fit, active and within weight limits, but Im glad I have found out sooner, rather than later.

I have stepped up my fitness regime, and I am now probably fitter than I have been for a long time, if ever. I wuld urge anyone to have a test next time they're at their GP's. It might be the best thing you ever did

Whatever Number They Role....

...We loose!

I read this the other day, and found it massively telling.

Senator Chris Dodd amended a stimulus bill stating that 'no matter what happens' with executives of AIG shall receive their bonuses. First of all, I'd like to ask, why was this amendment allowed to get through?

Secondly....

Barak Obama then signed the bill. So far, so good - you still with me?

The very next day, Obama went on TV and appearing outraged, he declared: "I can't believe these people are getting bonuses..."

So why sign the fucking bill, dumb ass?! I had such high hopes for Obama, but it seems he's probably just as bad as the shower of shit that came before him

Ho hum...

Politicians - Scratch the Surface...

Unfortunately I can't take credit for this post, I got it from a friend in my inbox, but I felt I just had to post it, to show the lies some parties will go to, to try and influence people. Unfortunately the people who will be voting for this party wont have the 'nounce' to look into it. Perhaps even the main stream parties do the same thing, I don't know, Im just reporting what I've been shown!

Anyway, here goes...this is from graphic design east anglia

BNP Stock Photography This popped through my door today. Freedom of speech is a great thing and they have every right to post flyers through my door. However, as a graphic designer I can't help but play the game of 'They're not real people, I wonder where they got the stock image from'. Its a good game and keeps me quiet for ages. I'll start.

This comes from the Daily Mail and is labeled as 'file picture', which you would assume means they own the usage rights http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-503126/165-000-asylum-seekers-amnesty-Home-Office-blunder-files.htm All solved! The family on the front is a BNP shot http://www.hopenothate.org.uk/news/article:904-People-like-him-voting-BNP Begs a question. Is this a violation of iStock rules and if so, what are they going to do about it? http://www.istockphoto.com/license_comparison.php and with their history of support for the British Union of Fascists, the Daily Mail must find this a tad embarrassing, so it will interesting to see if they will, or even want to do something to distance themselves. Anyway, this is me talking again now - it amuses me that they will use these images to try and manipulate people into thinking what they want them to think - its a cynical ploy in my opinion. I will be scrutinising the rest of the shabby lot that come through my door

Its Been a Few Months!

Hello! Its been a few months since my last post, and I have had a few people prodding me into writing some more stuff.

So, what have I been up to?

Its been very hectic. We have the impending birth of Lana Sandra Ellen Taylor, on the 26th July, or so the Doctors say. The Doctors also said i was due on 27th July 1970, but I hung around until the 30th, so perhaps Lana will do the same. Either way, its all very exciting for me. I can hardly wait. We have been doing up the house, turning it into a four bedroomed + 2 bathroomed place, so thats nearly done

I have been buying loads of stuff for her too, which all costs money, so being out of work at the moment is not particularly helpful! My contract ended on 1st April, and I have been searching ever since - bugger! Anyway, hopefully something will come along soon

Any way, I promise to write more (You know who you are!)
