A closer look at what is going on in the worlds of media, culture, politics and sport. And anything that takes my fancy, quite frankly. Wednesday, March 21, 2007. Posted by Matt at 5:43 pm. Yet drug abuse in sport has been rife for years, and though lifetime bans from the Olympics are now automatic for any athlete guilty of using performance enhancing drugs, we must surely question whether the present system in any guise can ever truly work. Posted by Matt at 5:42 pm. Fatness gets a bad press these days&...

Poor Bob Geldof- You Need to Diversify. This is at first rather sad; after everything he's done, trying his damnedest to rid the planet of hunger, poverty, and unfair trade, no-one can be bothered to go and see him do what he first made his name for, good old fashioned rock'n'roll. Another asset Geldof has, of course, is his offspring. Peach...

A closer look at what is going on in the worlds of media, culture, politics and sport. And anything that takes my fancy, quite frankly. Sunday, April 22, 2007. Oh for goodness sake what NOW? We, if we are to believe what we are told, must live in the most perilous society on Earth. It is a wonder any of us are able to summon up the courage to leave our homes, as there are at any one time seemingly hundreds of studies going on to tell what new and interesting dangers are lurking around every corner. My po...

A closer look at what is going on in the worlds of media, culture, politics and sport. And anything that takes my fancy, quite frankly. Friday, October 27, 2006. Spoilt Little Rich Boys? Are footballers really the avaricious, spoiled mercenaries we make them out to be? Aren’t they, when all’s said and done, simply the most visible of our generation’s self-made men? We all admire an entrepreneur; someone born with a skill who has worked hard to earn themselves the kind of life they wanted. Wigan’s Chairma...

A closer look at what is going on in the worlds of media, culture, politics and sport. And anything that takes my fancy, quite frankly. Tuesday, September 12, 2006. How does White Van Man become an environmentalist? So why would he change his van and his family cars for one of these silver homogenous eco-pods? Governments and lobbyists can press all they like, but people will not change until there is a noticeable difference to be had for themselves and their families. If it's a long-term fix to a pr...

Umpire Darrell Hair vs PM Tony Blair: Bring on Cash For Resignations! Surely not. Will he, then, make a clear indication of his exit strategy? Possibly, although it could render him even more of a lame duck; all of these have crossed his mind. Instead of either of these options, PM Blair strides on to the stage, grinning slightly wider than usu...

Britain develops gills; the news fails us. Posted by Matt at 9:33 am. Sunday, July 08, 2007. Wembley hums to the tune of a changing climate-the nation cringes. It was instructive and, in a typically modern " cringable. Of a large TV audience. I love to fly aeroplanes, drive 4x4 trucks, and consume massive amounts of electricity on-stage too m...

Good old Gordon Brown; he's so very in touch with what people want, isn't he? Oh, I see, we haven't got any. because you've spent it all. Good lad. Fun, it appears, and indeed irony, are not things that el Gordo is particularly familiar with. If ever a turd was worth polishing, he is surely not it. The Dark Art of B...

Labels: Pop Culture / TV. Posted by Matt at 5:50 pm. Saturday, August 25, 2007. A Tale of Two Departures. Politics is something we're, fortunately, becoming more and more desensitized to. We may approve of one of David Cameron's ties, or at a push, one of Gordon Brown's. Cameron's hair may look especially. Where ...
