Title: Goody Goody Gum Drops
Post by: Mr Happy on March 26, 2009, 09:33:27 PM
I don't believe it, I go missing for give or take a year and come back to this!  Surely the death of such a retarded fucking leach is worthy of a celebration?

Barman, this round is on me!

Here's the fun bits:

"She looked lovely at her wedding, not a hair out of place"

"I know she's a Nazi but the skinhead is taking it a bit far"

"Scientists are still at a loss to a cure for Cancer but they've at least cured Goody"

"It's a bit like Diana innit" Mother Goody.

It takes a certain kind of individual to greet the news of her impending death with a phone call to the likes of Max Clifford.  The desire to earn money from it is truly awful but worsewas to follow.

Is that you Gordon Brown telling us of her bravery and how she should be held up as an example?  Tell you what you porridge eating skirt wearing fuck wit, try spending your days looking at the medical postcode lottery rather than blather on about someone truly undeserving.

Finally, those wenches that have vowed "i shall go and be checked now", don't fucking bother.  If it takes a troll like that to encourage you to do the blindingly fucking obvious the world is hardly likely to miss you.

Where's the grave, I'm in a dancing kind of a mood...

Well the miserable bastards that i was stealing wireless tinterweb off went and put a password on it.  Work are looking for any excuse to get shut of me, far too dangerous!

On dial up now, who has some broadband tips?

God that's a depressing answer, scrub it...

I went out for a cheeky pint one afternoon and several speedboats, a white fiat panda in a french tunnel, and a picnic on a grassy knoll later and i returned on a rather old looking horse ridden by a chap called Lucan...

Title: Re: Goody Goody Gum Drops
Post by: Snoopy on March 31, 2009, 07:36:28 AM
More to do with why Harlow was built in the first place I suspect ~ to facilitate slum clearance in London wasn't it?
Just a nasty pile of concrete with no real history, no culture, no neighbourhood spirit because they plucked the original inhabitants from the worst areas of London and dumped them there. Most of them had never seen a cow let alone the countryside and had no desire to be there. From that grew what we have today.

 John Lennon Airport used to be called Speke Airport and is in fact Liverpool. Lutonistan is and will remain London Luton for the foreseeable future.
Oh and Milton Keynes was named after ....... errrr..... Milton Keynes, which was one of the seven original villages that the new town covered.

Quote
Original Village. Milton Keynes was the name of the village when the city was planned in 1967. Originally the Anglo-Saxon village was known as the Middle Farm (tun), between the farms of Broughton and Walton. Listed in Domesday (variously) as Mid(d)(u)eltone [ 14.47, 17.31, 57.13 ] with a mill.
In the 12th and 13th centuries the Norman lord of the manor was de Cayenes and the village became known as Middleton Kaynes which later became Milton Keynes.
The village itself is now Milton Keynes Village and the region it occupies is Middleton.

Bloody hell Snoops, MK has a history, I'm not having it.

As for slum clearance, i reckon most towns South of Birmingham can be considered as such.

I werk in one of Speke Airports old aircraft hangers, apparently built by a German company just in time for 1939, thus never actually occupied.  I think Lennon, despite rumours of finding the airport and fucking off, actually lived in nearby Aigburth.  It's a Crowne Plaza now, beer £3.20 a pint, City of Culture my arse!!!

Ha, yep all you need to know about Speke Boulevard is it connects Runcorn to Liverpoo, you do though get to see boutiques including Halfords, PC World and Damons Diner en route.  Can you believe people spend downwards of £10 on travelling to Milan when an Arriva North West ticket costs as little as £4.

Crewe should be good, the railway was once an industry on which to build a town.  Property was cheap in comparison to the surrounding countryside.  Unfortunately it has been reduced to everywhereville, have we really been in a boom for the last 15 years?

Oh FFS  Banghead Banghead Banghead

Thousands lined the streets and gathered at the church, and millions more watched it on television around the world.
The emotional outpouring at Jade Goody's funeral yesterday had echoes of Diana's - and she was royalty.
Jade was just an Essex girl who had a terrible early life and, on the surface, appeared to possess few, if any, abilities. She was dismissed as ignorant and stupid.
Yet by the time she died at the tragically young age of 27, she had become one of the best-known people in the country, a multimillionaire and, as the turn-out for her funeral showed, loved by millions.


She was ignorant and stupid , she was bankrupt and she was loved by few until her diagnosis - how fickle people are  evil:

A voice of reason at last.




http://entertainment.uk.msn.com/tv/realitytv/article.aspx?cp-documentid=15794729&GT1=61503


 
Broadcasting legend Sir Michael Parkinson has attacked Jade Goody, days after her funeral. Speaking to the Radio Times, he said the reality TV star represented: "all that's paltry and wretched about Britain today".
 
He added that she was "ignorant" and "puerile" and despite being dubbed 'the Essex princess', bears no relation to Princess Diana.
 
He added: "Jade Goody has her own place in the history of television and, while it's significant, it's nothing to be proud of. Her death is as sad as the death of any young person, but it's not the passing of a martyr or a saint or Princess Di."
 
However, Sir Michael revealed that he'd wanted to interview Jade, saying: "She has a fascinating back-story."












Apart from on here obviously...
Title: Re: Goody Goody Gum Drops
Post by: Snoopy on April 07, 2009, 02:03:53 PM
Parky is right, of course, Jade Goody was not Princess Di ~ because Jade didn't marry The Prince of Wales ~ in many other respects they were very much alike.
Both slept around and made no secret of it. Both were, IMHO, ugly (in different ways but ugly nevertheless). Both manipulated the media for their own ends and both tried to make amends by (i) blaming other people and (ii) trying to make themselves look good, caring and compassionate toward the end. Both met an entirely predictable fate with just the right amount of "Ah" factor to ensure the controversy they actively courted in life continued long after they were dead......







PS I would not consider a poor sports journalist and indifferent talk show host a leg end, just because he happened to be in at the start of Breakfast TV, without which we would have been spared many years of his droning Yorkshire chip on the shoulder drivel..

Both manipulated the media for their own ends and both tried to make amends by (i) blaming other people and (ii) trying to make themselves look good, caring and compassionate toward the end. Both met an entirely predictable fate with just the right amount of "Ah" factor to ensure the controversy they actively courted in life continued long after they were dead......







PS I would not consider a poor sports journalist and indifferent talk show host a leg end, just because he happened to be in at the start of Breakfast TV, without which we would have been spared many years of his droning Yorkshire chip on the shoulder drivel..

Take it that you don't much care for him then Snoopy?  BTW he was around prior to 1983....

I'm not sure I agree with the media exploitation bit, if you are stupid/desperate enough to apply to go on Big Brother then after the first couple of series you must know that if you do end up on the show the media is going to keep working on you if you seem to be an 'interesting character'.

People don't apply to go on there for a laugh, or just for the experience. They go on there in the hope that they will end up with a job on TV afterwards. None of those who have gained a job have lasted more than a few months before sliding back into a one trick pony oblivion.

If there is one thing that gets right up my nose it is a "professional" Yorkshireman ~ Parkinson is one such. Geoff Boycott and Fred Trueman were another couple, although they could at least play cricket, but I really hate their revelling in the "Ah'm a reet good bloke that allus speaks 'is mind and no booger else's opinion is worth a toss" attitude.

Yes Parkinsion had been around for years before breakfast TV but his involvement in that rescued him from returning to the back pages of T'Yorkshire Post where he came from. Yorkshiremen I don't have a problem with would include Clarkson, William Hague and others who do not keep up this "Theeere were twentyfower of us livin' in t'paper bag on t'side of railway lines, near t'pithead" stuff.

And I know what I am talking about having been married to t'lass from "T'Peoples Democratic Socialist Republic of South Yorkshire" (AKA Sheffield) for twenty looooooooooong years.

Not strictly true. Craig off the first one still has regular work on DIY shows, big black bird has a regular slot on GMTV, Kate Lawler still makes a living off it, Gay trolley dolley did childrens tv for years, Jade certainly made a success out of it.

I watched the entire funeral.  redface: Mother Wench made me.  redface:

And it seems I am not alone:
Daily Telegraph On Line Today's Date:

Quote
Michael Parkinson says he was dismayed by the behaviour of the media over Jade Goody. Perhaps one of the things that dismayed him most was that a whole fortnight had passed since the 27-year-old's death – why, the woman was almost cold in her grave – and yet still no leading media commentator had sneered at her memory. Into the breach he valiantly stepped. The late reality TV contestant, he wrote, represented "all that was paltry and wretched" about Britain: "It's not the passing of a martyr or a saint or, God help us, Princess Di."

To which one can only nod stern assent. As if that over-emotional, fame-chasing young mother who used the media for her own ends then died before her time had anything in common with our brave princess.

 "I've been a journalist for 60 years," added Parkinson, "and I am appalled by what's happened to my profession." No arguing with that, either. If only we could return to the high standards of journalistic seriousness set in the Seventies, when the leading TV interviewer of the time – his name has slipped my mind, but he was a softly spoken chap, fair-haired, Barnsley-born – famously conducted a hard-hitting discussion with a puppet emu.

Growler, I'm not a bitter man, I can count those I have wished such ill on using just one hand calculator.

At first I did just wish her mere pain and suffering, at least equal to the suffering I felt every time her gurning mug peered from a tabloid or her screech ruined an already unfit tv schedule.

The news of the Cancer, as delivered (apparently) on TV, seemed fitting.  To then hear that she was to allow us to share her suffering, or rather have it forced upon us was piss boiling point.  Then to hear that the publicity was not to be used to aid Cancer charities hence the thousands of other sufferers, but to line the pockets of her former boyfriend (with criminal record), husband to be (with criminal record), racist mother, and bastard children (criminal records pending) is sickening.

Justice was swiftly delivered aptly on Mothers Day, but then the onslaught continues.  The Prime Minister (why?) taking time out of his not so busy schedule to deliver words, Clifford and Mother Goody speaking of her as Diana (pointless) and further media stupidity.

As for all the 'young women' inspired to get smear tests because of her, fuck them, if they're too stupid to respond to the reminders sent out at taxpayers expense then Darwin can claim them (as in ism, not with a turnip).

In summary then, she died ten years too late...

The widower of reality television star Jade Goody is celebrating his 22nd birthday with a "beach party".

Jack Tweed, who will be 22 on Tuesday, offered free entry to the party at Faces nightclub, in Gants Hill, Essex, to guests dressed in "beach wear".
A message on his Facebook page advertised the party as a "night of mayhem" and said: "See you in your bikinis, girls.


No one expected him to be lost in grief for too long  - its good to know that sometimes people don't let you down  noooo:

Quite so.

My faith in stereotyping has never let me down.

The only uncertainty is whether he will die of a massive drug overdose or driving a Ferrari into a tree.

He prolly won't have the decency to even do that, no doubt he will survive and be back in prison err long where we will all pay for him to live out his life in relative comfort. evil:
