Im sat here, its 23:53 on the last saturday before xmas. I have been out with Gemma, Chaz and some of the Maxxd lot – but as i dont really drink i volunteered to drive, and got a bit bored so i have left Gem and Chaz in Chicago (not the state of the US of A) and i have come home.

Instead, im sat listening to the music i want to listen to – mainly the beastie boys and jimi hendrix! Im eating a chicken cob –  that gem made for herself but im hungry – chillin out on my laptop. And even though im doing 3 of my favourite things (ok 4 but i aint going into detail) i cant help missing my angel and my puppy 🙁

Pup is having a sleepover at gem’s mum’s and i hate being away from her. The house still smells of puppy, and her toys are on the floor – but shes miles away 🙁

I know, im sad – but those are the two thigns most important to me, and i have none of them at this moment in time. :'(

I dont mean PC as in po-leece officer, or personal computer, i mean political correctness. I for one am totally against it, i feel that it is every man and womans duty to be kind and civil with the next man or woman, and everyone should treat everyone else with the same level of respect, but i dont for one minute feel that changing old nursery rhymes to read “Wooly sheep” instead of “Black sheep” is in any way benefiting our country.

Its just gone mad hasn’t it, your no longer allowed to call a Black board, a blackboard. Its now a chalkboard, you can no longer say postman, you have to say super special uniformed mail delivery superintendent.. or some bizarre shit like that. Why the fuck cant i say these things? When i say blackboard, i dont mean negroboard, or niggerboard, i mean blackboard. Therefore i feel that the whole concept of PC is racist itself, as it assume’s that the person hearing or reading the word blackboard is associating it with the derogatory term used in racist remarks.

Its total bullshit, and i for one will never change the things i say, as i do not mean them in the way these people obviously assume we do. And if anyone overhearing me things that im being racist, then they can fuck right off, as im not.

Anyway, back to the point in hand. The initial reason for this post was to highlight something on TV that i instantly laughed at, and was stunned to of actually seen it aired on daytime TV.

It was an advert for a play-kitchen, and it was a little cooker, and all the posts and pans you need for a fully stocked play kitchen. It was all plastic of course, and the product, albeit an old idea, looked pretty safe. The voice-over guy on the other hand, wasn’t so clever.

He went on to say how the play kitchen was awesome bla bla, and how its good cos kids can mimic what their MUM’s do in the kitchen.. Ahaha.. surely that’s not PC? Not that i support PCness, and not that i dispute 80% of mum’s/girlfriends do actually cook and do the house work, but for an advert to blurt out how they can be “Just like mum” by being in the kitchen made my alarm bells ring.. I bet £50 that advert isn’t on TV much longer, someone will twig and deem it inappropriate for TV as it is sexist.

Xmas around the corner, all you women best get cooking and doing all that shit that women do. While us men put our feet up, drink beer and fart.  😉

My opinions are influenced by the company that produced the advert for them play kitchens, please use google to find them and send any legal documentation to them if you have in anyway been offended by the things i have written here.

I am not racist, and do not wish for anyone to read into this post too much, and think that i am. I judge people as individuals, and hate those who give reason to hate. Or some shit..

Dun dun der…

burp.

It wasnt even a week ago when i blogged about how i was losing faith with the auctionads project –  and now im blogging about them again.

For about a week, maybe two, their blog has been down. So that means they cant update anyone with system status’s etc. Ok, so that’s not the end of the world? Right? Wrong! They are also ignoring emails i am sending them, and they are 8 days late paying me money i was SUPPOSED to get months ago anyway!

I dont know what they are playing at, but they are fucking me right off! I hope people find this and realise what a shit programme this has turned out to be!

While we are on about how crap auctionads is, i might as well mention that a member of my adidas superstar forum actually noticed the banners were in fact advertising a FAKE pair of adidas superstars.. One of the things that my website is TOTALLY against.. we have educated HUNDREDS of people in how to spot fake kicks.. And there is MY SITE advertising FAKES for sale!!!!!!

I removed ALL auctionads from that site the day after.

I suggest anyone reading this ditches AuctionAds too, and puts the fuckers in the ground where they deserve to be.

Im pretty sure you can get your OWN ebay feeds direct from ebays developer tools so you could cut out AuctionAds and still earn money.

Ditch them, join the revolution! 

Yep, cucumber.  It came as quite a shock, when i read that cucumber can be good for fish that are having trouble swimming. I.e. floating on the top, or swimming upside down.

We have had Bob and Marlon for AGES now – they were a gift from gemmas mum for mine and gems 6th month anniversary, so we have had them almost 6 months now. And the whole time, bob (the black moor goldfish) has not been very well. He has always had trouble swimming and keeping upright.

We paniced when he first did it, as our last black moor trevor started struggling swimming and he passed away. 🙁 So we looked into it and learned that it could of been to do with the fact we were feeding them flakes, and when they eat them they take air in too, and air in the belly causes them to float!

We changed to pellets, and he seemed to be fine for a while – then he started doing it again. So we looked into it again, and heard that it could be indigestion. So we didn’t feed them for a few days so they could both crap out any food they had in them. A day or two later he was fine and dandy again – better than ever.

A few days ago he started playing up again – and this time he wasnt struggling to swim he just wasnt swimming at all. He would just float at the top and hardly move. Marlon will come along and peck at him which startles bob and that makes him shift, but apart from that he was almost motionless.

So again we consulted the internet, and a few sites mentioned feeding them things like chopped up cooked peas, and cucumber!! We didnt have any cooked peas to hand, so we chopped up a bit of cucumber and lobbed it in. They are now both swimming round pecking at the bits every now and then and both seem happy.

I think we are gonna try live bloodworm next, as they wriggle about inside the fishes digestive system, ans free up any blockages.. apparently!
