Libya - Political and Social Unrest

From Tunisia to Egypt and Bahrain to Libya it seems political and social unrest has swept the world of politics.

Since the students protests in the UK based on the raising of tuition fees it seems the world has been showing us how a real riot and result can be achieved.
With hostile and dangerous protests UK citizens can observe the full scale of how we could protest if we really wanted actions.

The vast attention of the political unrests from all media sources, including the News and Newspapers demonstrates the ability to suppress the British nation to behave themselves and leave our problems to the government.
This deterrent of unruly protests, death and injuries acts as a cap on the British to remember how to bite our lips and be British. Such behaviours here may carry prison sentences, fines and criminal warnings.

Whilst Libya is in turmoil, it made me think how this affects the infrastructure of the country, the effects on the economy and social structures. From shop closures, to drops in the stock market, the trail of devastation goes far.

I hope those taking refuge in Malta are safe and well! Gaddafi has a long decision ahead.

The Big Moan - Operation Spoon.

Yes I know this title sounds positively crazy and odd but it is the story of operation spoon; a very real and well thought through plan.

In the recent years, one problem has become apparent in our household, which was catching us off guard and leaving us stranded in a pool of misery, a downward spiral of hatred and unthinkable anger...

The uncle.

He comes to visit us and stay over night now and then...to have a rest...get him out of the house.
However this has come with some problems.
He wakes up very early. Around 6am, every morning...even at the weekends.
And what happens in the UK when people wake up...they have Tea.

This is where the story heats up...the gritty tale of an annoying habit.

When he makes himself a Tea at 6am he manages to wake us all up. Why...because of the spoon he uses to stir his sugar in.
This spoon is stirred around for over a minute, mixing sugar and Tea. Bouncing off the sides, hitting the bottom. One big metal noise drifting through the rooms.

It is enough to send you crazy. It lasts for a long time...and there is no acknowledgement of this act...as if he finds it perfectly normal and correct behaviour.

This is where Operation Spoon originated.

For this year, we were prepared and now the problem has been solved. We replaced all the small teaspoons with plastic spoons in the drawer every night before we went to bed. This was to prevent being woken up, irritable and damn right angry.

Every night before bed for 4 days, we replaced the spoons with the plastic ones and hid the metal ones away, only to return them when we woke.
It worked like a charm, and we no longer were the victims of an early morning...
It was a hard and gruelling operation...no lives were lost...but a lot of courage was needed.

Irritant of the day: Damn you UK.

Today I was annoyed that I couldn't get anywhere in the south east of the UK. Yes this is a rudimentary snow related post...but I had planned to go see my friend and his band headline a club. I wouldn't have had a problem getting there during the day...but I would not have been able to get back home. The last train was scheduled for 10.16pm  which didn't cover the gig. Perhaps in warmer circumstances we could have waited around to the first train at 5-6am...but with freezing temperatures and no where to go inside it would have been silly, also considering the trains could get cancelled tomorrow.

Yeah it seems Christmas may actually be cancelled this year...people without loved ones...and the important ordered gifts...hopefully family spirit kicks in and we can all start travelling again.

Moan moan moan, 5 moans this week

1.
SNOW
Yes it's that stuff that falls from the skies that has been causing trouble as usual, making the UK ground to a stop in all travel related sectors. From Jack-knifing lorries to over turned vehicles and trains that can't choo choo. Some people face being stuck in their workplace due to traffic, being forced to get a hotel for the night.
But remember it does look pretty. Remember don't slip on that ice...

2.
STRIKE
Remember those damn workers for TFL that have been on strike again, they are selfish if you ask me...one strike is enough. Stop messing everyone around and do your job like everyone else....

3.
GILLIAN
People moan that she was faking her faints and annoying them, yet now she is out, they are annoyed because they still want to see her in other trials, make your mind up.
If she was kept in you could have seen her doing more trials at the end of the show.

4.
SWEARING
I am partial to throwing words around that aren't clean and beautiful, but the increase in swearing from people in everyday life is starting to piss off. Watching a TV show such as I'm a Celebrity get me out of here half the show appears to be beeps from the swearing police. It really starts to ruin your viewing, let a alone when you walk out the door and the local woman with tourettes calls you a w**ker (not worker). But Shaun on I'm a celeb needs to get his so called sentences in order.

5.
SLOW WALKERS
There are always people who get in your way when you are in a hurry. I guess if you were going for a stroll it wouldn't annoy you...but i'm always in a rush. They are unaware you are behind them, and continue walking at 1mph forcing you to go in the road to overtake...however I have resulted to just barging past...get out my way, walk fast.... or stay at home.

Quick snippet: Bye Davina..wait ..Hello again

I feel as if we spent our whole summer saying goodbye to Davina Mccall on the last Big Brother, but she is back on the delightful channel 4 quiz show 'The Million Pound Drop'.
We had her tears and her long goodbye, only for her to return to our screens in a matter of a month. Although I don't mind this as she is a good presenter who can hold her own in a tricky situation.

The return of this sofa edge sitting quiz show brings about hungry money hunters who are also searching for some kind of 15minutes of fame. However most of them will miserably fail in front of our eyes. It is on all week and you can play along on-line to test how good you are.

Thank you readers..and.. Moan of the day 15/10/10

Just wanted to say thank you to the viewers around the globe who have been reading my blog. From Malaysia to South Africa, Germany, Canada, USA, and UK.
Knowing that my blog is reaches the far corners of the world, inspires me to continue writing it and reach more of you out there. Thank you.




Today's moan of the day... is sometimes been misunderstood as a common and normal behaviour, but make no assumptions of this irritant as it is a persisting and spreading problem.

Have you guessed it..? Of course not, this is to obscure and random for you to have predicted it.

It is the issue of the 'CHAV'. Although officially we cannot use the term Chavism yet, I think it is about time we acknowledge the spread of this group of people.

Whilst I must say that NOT all Chav's are rude and dumb people (some are lovely), but if you watch an episode of Jeremy Kyle I'm sure your main reason is to laugh at Chav's and acknowledge their stupidity and lack of Condom use.

How can we solve the problem of the Chav?? I suggest removing council housing estates from over growing and being left isolated without the proper facilities to help those needs.
Also we could stop the sale of sport brands in matching track top and trousers.
Also lets have a re-education for parents who believe there 5 year old should be robbing from Primark.

There it is, a few things to change.
