Re: Why I don't interact with Comic Relief.

Before I begin; the origins of my awakening came from the following; yet be warned it involves the highly realistic simulation of a Car Accident.



In the UK; every two years a series endless promotion by the BBC called
Comic Relief; occurs. Like everything; it's origins we're honourable in having mainly BBC Presenters of Television & Radio doing a telethon to raise money.

This normally was rather bland middle of the road type of parody yet sincere...



Unfortunately, in these days & times Celebrity Culture has taken place.
When in the early 1990's, Comics we're just that now they seem to be the standard for making rubbish TV's adverts attempting to flog the latest Financial Services piece of dirt... Home Insurance, Retail Banking, Mortgages.



What can be said about that; I was lost for words by Paul Whitehouse latest TV Ad.

Maybe I'll call him Sh**ehouse; instead.

I noticed that when the recession occurred in 2008; nothing was getting said by mainstream popular Comedians; guess that £ is just to good.
In traditional English Culture; the Jester / Fool / Comedian existed to remind those in authority of how idiotic they are:



Unfortunately, Russell is the exception rather than the rule; as his contemporaries don't have his intellectual observational skills.

Now, to the Comic Relief in it's current form. No longer about those that can tell jokes or work at the BBC. It now includes the plague of British Society...

Fu**ing Celebrities [the actual terminology used by many].

So they earn the spend ridiculous amounts on stuff they don't need; just to fill their empty lives that are based on vanity & ego. Then every two years; they do something for those lesser people.

I suspect it's due to them actually knowing their lives are pathetic along with being false. The need for recognition on a mass level & the fact that they are willing to do anything to keep that spotlight on them.
Be it sex with other Fu**ing Celebrities producing greater f**k-up's to actually being informants grassing other fellow Fu**ing Celebrities in some amateur Machiavellian strategy of one up-bi**hness.

Here is a group of utter tools that went up a African Mountain.



During the time the Fu**ing Celebrities where going up,
I remembered a B-Movie that I watched as a Kid based on actually events...

During quite times at work; I would think & hope that nature could deliver some divine justice. Yet, even the Mountain Baboons realized that the Fu**ing Celebrities are full of sh**e due to over-saturation on Satellite TV.

Maybe it's like what JC mentioned...

Jesus saw the rich putting their gifts into the temple treasury. He also saw a poor widow put in two very small copper coins. "I tell you the truth," he said, "this poor widow has put in more than all the others. All these people gave their gifts out of their wealth; but she out of her poverty put in all she had to live on".

From Theee Good Book - The Poor Widow's Offering (Luke 20:45-21:4)

It seems with life the more things change the more they stay the same.

I advise that rather than donate to Comic Relief select a charity that doesn't
overload on the Fu**ing Celebrities, perhaps...

So, to the end of this Blog Entry. Something so horrific that it makes Chris Moyles in the throws of penetrative missionary position sexual intercourse whilst talking dirty drenched in sweat; seem erotic.

Re: The Weather & The British.

Am a British Citizen born.

Yet, what has always puzzled me is the national obsession around the Weather.

As you can see only thing worse is the fashion sense of Michael Fish..!!

I've travelled to various locations around the world...

Melbourne, Valencia, Boston, Rio de Janeiro, Munich, Vancouver & Stockholm.

When talking to residents of these cities; nobody moans about their various climates. Not even a word; they get on with their lives.

This then gave me realization around possible origins or background on why us Brits constantly moan about something we can do nothing about?
Then I answered my own question... the desire to travel within the British psyche.

I remember reading; only the Japanese spend more on travel for pleasure / vacation than the British. Yet, the natural national reason the people of Japan do this is around two reasons:

1. For centuries, their island was deliberately closed to the rest of the world until the Americans came post-Hiroshima & Nagasaki.

2. A direct bi-product of the first point was an social awakening resulting in a desire to interact with the rest of the world.

These two points resulted in Japan leading the world in many fields; as people travel then come back with new fresh ideas.

Yet, if the British are at No.2 for the amount spent on Foreign Vacations why hasn't this impacted on positive Social-Economic change like the Japanese?

The answer is due to the fact that deep down British population is unhappy.

I can only guess that it's due to the Class-System which tells people they should be happy?

Exhibit A:

British people endlessly talk about needing a long-hot Summer yet the
simple fact is that due to not having such high temperatures; they simply go berserk.

The thing that they endlessly talk about ultimately is that thing of which they can't handle; it's not helped by vast amounts of alcohol consumed.

Britain doesn't have a national identity; perhaps making it the ONLY nation
to be like this? Belgium is made up of two distinctive groups yet they this equals strong identity even if they have of the date of this Blog no government.

'The highest family in the land' is really German with touches of Dutch & French (Norman).

The UK doesn't celebrate a national day of patron saint unlike the majority of its continental neighbours; even that it has one?
No real culture excites as this connects with the actual embarrassing & heinous time that the nation ruled 25% of the planets land mass...
'Theeee British Empire'.

So, having no real national day makes it possible for the acts of
Empire a.k.a Britishness(what ever this is?) isn't really faced up to.

I remember watching this Advert from a traditional established British Company...

Exhibit B:



When it was realised, the amount of conversations I directly had or overheard was numerous.

A simple advert seemed to open the desires on a nation.

Am sure that warmer climates do make people more expressive; as you can walk & not have to deal with driving through a blizzard (like I had to do on at least 3 occasions so far in 2011).

Another obvious is that living in a warmer tropical climate makes people both more expressive
& sexual.

Exhibit C:

Like New Orleans.

Yet, the majority of Warm to Hot Climates are places of tension & conflict & this must not be forgotten

So maybe instead of moaning we should be happy with this every evening...

She's an improvement on Michael.
