Some people seem to think that footballers are heroes. These people, sadly, are mentally deficient; some would say ‘idiots’, but I’m trying to be kind here. Footballers, as any fule know, are people paid to kick a sack of wind about and play a game wherein the only stakes are pride and monetary gain. Realistically, only pride should be at stake, but the world changes and no one seems to think it worth the effort anymore.

These people play games and, by extension, are no more heroic than a child winning a round of hopscotch. It’s beyond me why people persist in devaluing the epithet.

For example.

Right – Lifeboatmen. They’re all volunteers, they could easily die, and they do it anyway.
Wrong – A racehorse. It’s a fucking horse. It runs around and eats hay.

This, by the way, is ridiculous. What’s the betting that he’d have been slated if he did it by the book and the poor kid died?

Anyway, another common misconception is that there’s something somehow admirable about ‘rock stars’, musicians and their acts of twattery. I don’t know why, but for some reason people perceive drug addled shambling, semi-alcoholic violence and a subscription to the rock n roll ‘ethos’ to be ‘cool’ rather than fucking idiotic.

Don’t get me wrong, if folk want to drink until they’re blind or imbibe so much skag they think its 1402, then that’s fine by me. It just gets on my wick to see people pretending that it’s acceptable because they’re in a band ‘living the lifestyle’. They’re not; they’re a junkie twat, what’s so great about that?

As for celebrities, just fuck off. I swear more human endeavour has been wasted on empty-headed prattling about a group of preening nothings than on war and religion combined. Were it not for the symbiotic relationship the media has with them, I swear they’d die out. They’re just people; they do nothing remarkable, what’s the fascination with them?

In fact, because I’m feeling charitable, I’ll save you the effort of buying one of those women’s magazines, reading a newspaper or watching the news today.
Princess Di. She’s still dead, fucking drop it.
Amy Winehouse. She’s still drunk. No one cares.
Pete Docherty. Ex(ish)-junkie twat. Should be in prison.
That skinny model bint… uh… Kate Moss. Off her tits on coke probably. Should be in prison.
The Golden-Globes. A mass reach-around for the industry that you don’t care about.
Some vacuous tart. Blah, blah, fucking-blah.
Repeat ad nauseam.
