because I HAVE THE CHAIRS OF POP POWER!!!

But X Factor pisses me off...

Yes boss, Mrs Giovanni had it on this evening, whilst I was fighting with the house, and once again this singer called Rachel Hyton was voted into the bottom 2 and then finally ousted by the judges from the last 5...

SO FUCKING WHAT?!?!? I hear a lot of you SHOUT!!!

Well, the thing is, this woman is the only one on that show who has anything at all to offer..

I mean the rest of the conetstants and SIMPLY FUCKING AWFUL!!!

YES BOSS, THEY'LL BE LUCKY TO FILL A CRUISE SHIP BAR - THEIR TALENTS ARE GODAWFUL MINISCULE. THEY ARE THE VERY FUCKING ESSENCE OF WHY I HATE THIS AMATEUR STINKING KARAOKE SHOW!!!!

Yet Rachel Hyton has soul and talent - so of course she's out...


Well, I've since been wondering why this has happenned...

Is it because she's black??

Is it because she's controversial (4 kids, she first gave birth at age 13) and isn't seen to be a good squeaky clean role model that makes you EAT YOUR CORNFLAKES AND GROW UP TO BE A GOOD EARNER!!!!

Is it because she's simply too good for such an ass bumhole of a show????

Or is it because she's blown the Winehouse myth...???

Yes boss, as this clip below shows, Rachel Hyton can clearely sing Winehouse far better than Winehosue can.

And in doing this, I think she's blown the myth we've been fed this last 3 years or so, that Amy is an EXCEPTIONAL and unparalleled talent that has been and will never be seen again!!!!

Yes boss, it's shown everyone who watches X Factor, that there are many folks with better voices than Wino's and that Amy's main talent is really drawing attention to herself and PISSING HERSELF UP THE WALL!!!!

'I sit on a man's back, choking him and making him carry me, and yet assure myself and others that I am very sorry for him and wish to ease his lot by all possible means - except by getting off his back.'
Leo Tolstoy

With Mrs Giovanni now working form home, I'm reading all the tabloid papers daily...

Yes boss, my current media monitoring is taking on a decidedly populist angle as opposed to the rather stuffy pubs I've been previously reading in the local library....


Of course, if you really want to know what's going on in the world, the only papers and magazines to read are the likes of The Financial Times and The Economist..

Yes boss, there's more proper news on one page of either of these pubs than in The Sun and Star combined...

But if you want to know anything about popular culture, it's the tabloids every time...


In all honesty, I don't have too much time for papers that sit in between either of these extremes - papers like The Guardian or The Independent or The Times

The Independent is pure suicide newsprint.

Every fucking day their front page announces some kind of a WORLD WILL END TOMORROW UNLESS!!!! (INSERT CAUSE OF THE DAY HERE) front page...

The news contained therein then always reads like the out takes of a depressed persons world journal..

Meanwhile, The Guardian is full of the worst kind of left middle comfy wing ranting and The Times is just a vehicle for conservatism..


Sure, the tabloids are full of mindless infuriating jingoistic crap, but they do at least have some connection with the (un)reality of day to day living...


This said, one thing I'm already tired of in the tabloids - the Mail in particular, is the Middle Class recession moaning.

Yes boss, this recession is being dubbed the 'Bourgeoise Recession' and the reason for this is because it's anticipated the white collar workers are gonna take the biggest numerical hits..


And these folk have no idea about how to go down quietly


No boss, in todays Daily Mail, there's a double page sob story about a bankers family WHO ARE SO SKINT THEY'RE FORCED TO WONDER IF THEY'RE GONNA BE ABLE TO AFFORD THE £8000 A YEAR FOR EACH OF THEIR LOVELY LITTLE GIRLS PRIVATE SCHOOL FEES!!!

What?!?!? YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO SEND HENRIETTA TO THE COMMON SCHOOL?!?!? WITH THE DIRTY PEOPLE??????

'I have to think about every penny - I have stopped shopping at Tesco and started going to Morrisons BECAUSE IT'S CHEAPER.'

SAY IT ISN'T SO!!!!!

'I'd taken a law degree and then moved into private equity, and I assumed that my education and hard work ethic would mean I could always provide for my wife and children.'

TIMES ARE HARD!!!

'It is the having nothing to do which is most dispiriting..'

NO!!!!

'On the morning before I was sacked, I had been planning to get up at 5am to take a train to London to meet an important client and wouldn't have been home until 9pm. Overnight, all that disappears.'

COUNT YOURSELF LUCKY!!!!!

YOU'VE GOT SAVINGS!!!

YOU'LL SEE YOUR CHILDREN!!!!

YOU CAN MOW THE LAWN DAILY RATHER THAN PAYING THE GARDENER - HE MIGHT EVEN STOP BANGING YOUR WIFE !!!!!!

AND BESIDES, YOU CAN READ ALL OF THE DAILY MAIL, RATHER THAN JUST LOOKING AT THE PICTURES AND TUTTING AT THE IMMIGRANTS!!!!

JESUS.....!!!


The only real problem I can see in the western world with this here financial crisis is gonna be a little slimming down - and given how fat, stupid and arrogant we've become, that's no bad thing - and most likely lead to greater efficiency in the future...

Meanwhile, all over the rest of the world, people'll starve because the big traders are ramming down prices on cash crops to get us westerners SPENDING AGAIN!!!!, so we'll once again have enough money to patronise them with aid......


It's a hard, hard life...

Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire


ATTN
DEAREST ONE OF GOD

I am the above named person from Kuwait. I am married to Mr.Abram Morgan, who worked with Kuwait embassy in Ivory Coast for nine years before he died in the year 2004. We were married for eleven years without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days.

Before his death we were both born again Christian. since his death I decided not to remarry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which the Bible is against. When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of $2. 5 Million (Two Million and Five Hundred U.S. Dollars) in the bank here in Abidjan in suspense account.

Presently, the fund is still with the bank. Recently, my Doctor told me that i have seriouly sickness which is cancer problem. The one that disturbs me most is my stroke sickness. Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to a church or individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct herein. I want a church that will use this fund for orphanages, widows, propagating the word of God and to endeavour that the house of God is

maintained.


The Bible made us to understand that blessed is the hand that giveth. I took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are not Christians and I don't want my husband's efforts to be used by unbelievers. I don't want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly way. This is why I am taking this decision.


I am not afraid of death hence i know where I am going. I know that I am going to be in the bosom of the Lord. Exodus 14 VS 14 says that the Lord will fight my case and I shall hold my peace.


I don't need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health hence the presence of my husband's relatives is around me always I don't want them to know about this development.


With God all things are possible. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the bank here in Abidjan.


I want you and the church to always pray for me because the Lord is my shepherd. My happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian. Whoever that wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and Truth. Please always be prayerful all through your life.


Contact me on the above e-mail address for more information's, any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing another church or individual for this same purpose.


Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I Stated herein. Hoping to receive your reply.


Remain blessed in the Lord.


Yours in Christ,
Mrs Susan Morgan..

The Sirius Star is the biggest ship ever to be hijacked, with a capacity of 2m barrels - more than one-quarter of Saudi Arabia's daily output.

"This is unprecedented," said Lt Nathan Christensen, a spokesman for the US Fifth Fleet. "It's the largest ship that we've seen pirated.

It's three times the size of an aircraft carrier."

War-torn Somalia has not had an effective government since 1991.

News of the attack raised crude oil prices on global markets following an earlier slump, Reuters news agency reported.

"There will never be enough warships," said Graeme Gibbon Brooks, managing director of Dryad Maritime Intelligence Service Ltd.

"The whole area is 2.5 million square miles. The coalition have to act pre-emptively and be one step ahead of the pirates."


"They're very good at what they do," he told a Pentagon briefing in Washington.

"I'm stunned by the range of it," said Navy Adm Mike Mullen, chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff. "The pirates, he added, "They're very well armed. Tactically, they are very good."

But it is not just the size of the vessel – 318,000 deadweight tons – which is astonishing, it is its type and its importance.

Life here on Planet Paul is reaching one of those classic junctures in which you either have to STEP THE FUCK UP!!!

or take a step back, recharge and come back again at some convenient moment in the future....


Yes boss, this means I need to make some cold hard cash AND QUICK!!!


Now, this cash isn't required to get rich, so much as to survive as is on a pretty basic (western) level...


So, at such a time, there are 2 options:

Get a regular job or try spinning this Giovan-bandwagon a little further...

Naturally, I'm starting out with the latter, and we'll see how it goes..


So, this boils down to a whole new consumerist and service sector to the Giovan-experience..

Yes boss, from now on, I'm not only venting my spleen and offering you incisive analysis, and good words, I'm offering other tertiary services and before too very long products...


We're starting with...

PG£s VIRTUAL HELP SHOP!!!

PG£s PROMO!!!!

PG£s PHOTO!!!!

PGDEEGEEEE!!!!

Now the truth here is that I've been doing these to some degree either for free, for limited cash or for favours for some time now. The difference is that now, I'm looking to get in some extra paid work with which to feed the little G and Mrs Giovanni's ambitions of NOT STRUGGLING EVERY DAMN MONTH!!!!


Of course, in some ways, I find this professional branching out from pure, concentrated and complicated daily writing to be thoroughly depressing prospect....

Yes boss, it's always been partly my contention that I'm a natural born writer, and that I shouldn't be troubling my little genius written soul with anything other than PRODUCING GOOD COMBINATIONS OF WORDS!!!

But, I do still love to delve into other areas in order to facilitate the learning process and to understand life - and it's for this inability to focus completely on the one written thing that makes it worthwhile for me to spread out.....


So...

If any of you need help with any of my available services - do get in touch!!!

made me realise how true this is...

'More than half the population believe UK children are "feral" and behave like animals, a survey has suggested.

Half of the 2,021 adults interviewed by YouGov for the poll also felt children should be regarded as "dangerous".

Children's charity Barnardo's, which commissioned the study, said society "casually condemned" children.'

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7732290.stm

Yes boss, generally speaking,, my impression is that in the UK we don't like children at all..

We obviously LOVE our own..

But we don't like kids, or the idea of childhood - it's far too spontaneous, random and care free for stiff Brits to fully engage with and like...

GET THEM EDUCATED!!! GET THEM IN A JOB!!!!

GET THEM SUBSERVIENT!!!!

GET THEM SORTED OUT!!!!

'When I got my first TV set, I stopped caring so much about having close relationships with other people. I'd been hurt a lot to the degree you can only be hurt if you care a lot. So I guess I did care a lot, in the days before anyone ever heard of 'pop art' or 'underground movies' or 'superstars.'

So in the late 50s I started an affair with my television which has continued to the present, when I play around in my bedroom with as many as four at a time. But I didn't get married until 1964 when I got my first tape recorder. My wife. MY tape recorder and I have been married for ten years now. When I say 'we,' I mean my tape recorder and me. A lot of people don't understand that.

The acquisition of my tape recorder really finished whatever emotional life I might have had, but I was glad to see it go. Nothing was ever a problem again, because a problem just meant a good tape, and when a problem transforms itself into a good tape it's not a problem any more. An interesting problem was an interesting tape. Everybody knew that and performed for the tape. You couldn't tell which problems were real and which problems were exaggerated for the tape. Better yet, the people telling you the problems couldn't decide any more if they were really having the problems or if they were just performing.'
