Glenn Hoddle – Slowly turning into Alan Partridge?
Bye bye baby, baby goodbye!
Mitt Romney drops a Barak!!!
A secret video tape of Mitt Romney talking bluntly about the Americans supporting President Obama came out in the open on Tuesday; Romney dubbed Obama’s voters as “victims”, living off government handouts.
Blimey. Who expected a Right Wing Christian to hold such judgemental opinions about the lifestyles of those apparently beneath them??!
What would Jesus do?
Romney is shown talking to a group of wealthy donors funding his campaign, saying that 47% of Obama’s supporters never pay tax and “believe they are victims”.
“There are 47 percent who are with him, who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you name it,” Romney said.“These are people who pay no income tax.”.
Romney further derided Obama’s voters saying that it was not his job to worry about such people and he will “never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives”.
Having been through some fairly poor parts of America in my time, I’d simply say that there are some who are just not able to take responsibility for their lives due to the circumstances that they are born into.
The lack of education and opportunity within certain areas continues to keep people down and all the while, the rich just keep on getting richer.
A man worth $250 million will NEVER be in touch with the average man; Mitt Romney’s greedy corporate mindset has clearly diminished his capacity for compassion and I would not associate his perspective on the needy with that of a genuine man of the Christian faith.
The truth is out and the two-faced poster boy of the ‘Jesus Church of Latter Day Saints’ has finally revealed his true colours; it was certainly not eloquent Mr Romney!
I can only hope that American’s are not stupid enough to let this hypocrite into office!!! They couldn’t be that dumb……….
53 plate Aprilia RS125 – For sale (non runner)
Selling bike as a non-runner. £400 ONO (Croydon area)
8848 miles on the clock
Reason for non-runner
Failure of the crankshaft bearings.
Will need a new crank, bearings, piston and ring kit, oil feed pipe needs to be checked.
Could be broken for parts with consideration of the following:
- New lamp unit was just fitted before the engine gave out
- New windshield also just fitted
- Pair of Bridgestone BT16 tyres with about 200 miles of wear on them
- Side Fairings are scratched up and need some TLC
- Tail fairing is from an RS250 and needs some TLC

Phew. I am knackered.
I honestly did not anticipate that it would take almost all day to put my new bed together and make a few ‘minor changes’ to my room.
Such as:
- Took out the PC plinth unit next to my armchair and replaced it with a modified BESTA unit.
- Housed the PC inside it.
- Installed a ‘Dioder’ multicolour LED kit behind my T.V. (backlighting).
- Added a new unit to extend the counter underneath the T.V. (ready for when I buy a big T.V. in the January Sales!)
- Extended the sliding door rail for the counter and added two new glass doors at either end.
- Added a black glass counter top which reflects the dioder light nicely!
I am so pleased with the changes that I have made; PC is ‘hidden’ and I can now install a monitor mounting arm in the corner for accessibility
My bed is gorgeous and will hopefully put my back into the right shape; going for a well earned shower and then going to have an early night I think!
I REALLY recommend the Dioder system; it is strangely relaxing to watch whilst it goes through all the colours in the spectrum. £60 buys two units and you combine them which covers off a 42 inch T.V.
So there you have it!

IKEA Dioder – a simple way to backlight your T.V.
IKEA Dioder is a really inexpensive LED system to put multicoloured lighting behind T.V. or around counters and units.
I bought two packs, combined the 4 LED strips and mounted them onto the back of my T.V. using double sided scotch tape; the little remote control is cool and allows you to control the pace of the light changes.
Buy it noooooooooooooow!
My new bed! At last!
I have slowly been turned into a cripple over the last few weeks; I inherited my Mum’s old memory foam mattress and the bloody thing did me up like a kipper I can tell you. Backache, cramp and poor sleep eventually lead me to dismantle my old double, prop the comfortable single bed from the spare room into mine and scour around for a new bed.
Dreams = Expensive bastards.
Hamseys = Local bed shop in Surrey. Expensive AND rude bastards.
Argos = Shite.
Ikea = Delivery system from hell.
So, I ordered a lovely king sized bed online and it came within a week.
Took me a fucking age to put it together, but I am pretty chuffed with it!
Modifying Ikea Besta Furniture
My room uses a variety of units from the IKEA Besta range; I originally put the style in my room just over a year ago and I felt that this weekend was the perfect time to tinker with a couple of things before my new bed arrived.
Although I love my room, I was not quite happy with a few things; the small unit that I housed my PC tower on was my idea for a raised plinth, however it wasn’t very practical and the 13 or so fans within the tower can make for a bloody cold experience when using the PC during the winter.
So, I decided to swap out the existing unit and pop in the next size up in it’s place, but first I’d be making a few changes.
With the use of a jigsaw and a circular saw, I cut a side panel into the unit and cleaved off a good chunk out of the door; the idea being to allow the PC to ‘breathe’ and enjoy good ventilation but being obscured by my chair and the other unit adjacent to it.
Personally, I am much happier with the modification and like how easy the Besta units are to customise. Very sturdy!
The change allowed me to consider making others……
