Indeed, rubbish of all types.
One piece of rubbish that had my blood boiling last Saturday – the Richard and Judy column in the Express. A two page spread where Mr and Mrs Sofa Chat give there soundbites on all and sundry.
Judy wrote a short paragraph, possibly all of 100 words which managed to twine me so much I am still chuntering about it.
It accompanied a photo of Mylene Klass who has just modelled for M&S, appearing out of the sea in a white bikini a la Ursula Andress. Recently Mylene announced her pregnancy. And what did Judy write??
In a nutshell, that this photo of Mylene would give her something to aim back to after the birth of her baby and that knowing her as she did Judy is sure that would be the case very quickly.
Ye gods! What a mindless piece of prattle, does she not see the link between such brain sewerage and the endless fodder of the self absorbed and self loathing that frequent her interview couch? She has always wound me up when young girls are on the show and she waffles about them being princesses. Yep, let’s fill their heads with crap now to ensure Trisha and Jeremy Kyle are never short of a guest.
More productive rubbish talk. My super duper huge compost bin arrived this week (bought through the council recycling scheme for the teeny sum of £9). I have named him Fred and have already started to feed him.
Rubbish overload. Big Brother has started again and of course I will watch it. Its banal, mind numbing, predictable and irritating. I will be taken over with venomous hate of people I have never met and champion dubious fame seekers. One day the NHS will give out patches to stop the addiction but until then I make no excuses of my hideous, voyeuristic and judgmental side.
In shorthand the house has opened with 11 women. Amongst them are some rather cheering characters. Carol the 53 year old sexual health worker, peace activist and natural eccentric. 60 year old WI member Lesley who has a wonderfully dry sense of humour in the short time of viewing so far. 23 year old Welsh pit pony Laura who wants to be an embalmer. And 36 year old Tracey who is another of life’s misfits but rather frightened me at first as she reminds me of the witch from Chorlton and the Wheelies.
The other group is a mixture of youth, fluff, make up and silicone. I suspect as children Judy Finnegan told them to grow up to be princesses.
Richard+and+Judy, Judy+Finnegan, Mylene+Klass, compost, rubbish, Big+Brother, BB8
Blogs like this save people the bother of having to watch TV to find out what everyone is talking about. Ma'am, you are performing a valuable public service. I salute you.

I thought that the raver was played by that courier bloke from Spaced *shudder*

Big Brother? *runs to hide somewhere with no T.V.s*

I don't know why mumsy, middle-aged Judy is so hung up on weight and image. She has the younger, slimmer, better looking Richard doting on her. I know he's somewhat intelligence-challenged with very little personality but you can't have everything! They are ideally placed to show the world that such vacuous rubbish does no one any favours and if young girls think that being slim and pretty is all it takes to have a meaningful relationship, then they are heading for a lot of disappointment in this life.
As for Big Brother, the only time I have ever (accidentally) seen it is on Sky early in the morning when they are all asleep in bed. Riveting ..... not!

Well if you will insist on reading the Express...
I only explode at the Daily Mail about once per day myself!

I used to love Chorlton and the Wheelies!
That Tracey women really is scary though and I can't beleive Punch and Judy.... sorry, Richard and Judy are still on British TV. Kick them off.
As for BB, you already know what I think about that twadlle. I'd personally rather watch Fred your compost bin, I'm sure he'd be much more entertaining.

May I second what Gorilla B. said?
Keep up the good work - re: the whole racism/contestant getting thrown out today thing... Doesn't it seem a little too convenient at this time? Or am I going weird?
