Greetings Englander pig-dogs.
Raus, raus. Schnell. Achtung, Spitfeuer.

I see this morning that the laudable practice of setting oneself ablaze in pointless objection to oppressive Arabic regimes has become fashionable. I consider this to be excellent news and look forward to the first remedial pupil from Leicester doing a sympathy human torch. I am also greatly looking forward to Montstock where my new breast implants will doubtless be the talk of the night - along with that dress.

Now, Ricky Gervais is widely acknowledged to be one of the worst wankers of all time, but were his Golden Globe jibes no more that someone calling cunts cunts, or were they off-colour and mean-spirited? Not the kind of thing we like here at all.

Not sure if I am becoming more irritable but
the people in the office where I'm on secondment don't half spout some fucking shite. Faux-deep bullshit about music and stuff. If Monty were here he'd go fucking mental.

How shit are the people where you are? If it's just you, then how shit are you?

Here is something I think we can get debating, about one of the world's oldest proffesions; that of the prostertute.
I'm going to start this off with the fact that "I've never slept with someone in exchange for material goods / money / whatever".

I can see both sides to the argument on this one. I think enforced prostitution is tantamount to rape, that when you hear of people being enforced to have sex with men for money, it's horrific. And it's even worst when it's those who are underage.

But why is it so bad when the prostitute in question is voluntarily selling her body? Why is it OK for pornographic stars, who are both being paid? Why is it different for someone to sleep with someone else, such as a footballer, in exchange for the chance to sale the story later on?

There are plenty of people out there, and I'm not saying they're decent people, who will lead someone on, take wine'n'dine them, buy a £25 bit of jewllery from H.Samuels... and their only intention is to get a leg over. Isn't this worst than prostertution because it's under false pretences? Wouldn't you rather a friend of yours go with a prostertute, where all the cards are on the table at the begining, than to hear he's been leading someone on and potentially damaging someone's feelings? Isn't that more nobal?

There are loads of reasons why someone might not find love, or want to find love, but still want to do the phsyical act. Or they might have problems, such as extreme shyness, sexual immaturity, some sort of mental or phsyical defect... where by going to one of these people, they could overcome and learn to be comfortable infront of other people in their own body.

But then there is the other side, generally from what I gather via litrature and documentaries, people who come into such lifestyles are generally prone to some really shit stuff; abuse and drugs mostly. They're trapped in this lifestyle, at least for the time being, they generally don't want to do the job, but they're enslaved by addiction or horrfic people. For some it's a means-to-an-end, they can fund a lavish lifestyle, education or give their children a chance they never had.

What's your two cents on the situation? Do you have any sort of potential solution?

What's the best thing you are expecting from 2011, be it personal, political or entertainment-wise?

EDIT obviously for some of you it's clearly Montstock 2011, but set that aside when considering your answer as that's a given.

Fuck that, weekends are for losers.
Weekdays is where it's at. It all happens during the week. This week, for example, I'm cooking chicken and drinking champagne, making cupcakes cos I'm manly and that, playing Wind Waker again, playing guitar and generally relaxing. And work. The cunt. Then this... Erm... Yes... This weekend we're going ROOOAAD TRRRRIIIIP to follow the Thames source-to-sea. I simply cannot wait. Driving's great and I love turning my CD up and pootling along the motorway. Do you listen to music in the car?

Morning all!
How was your weekend?

Mine was pretty damn good, I got rather drunk on Friday, then had a friend stay at mine, where we walked to Tesco at about 3am to buy more booze.

On Saturday I helped a friend move into the house I'm in, then went to see a friend, who insisted I go for a drink with her. I then stayed out with her, and we had a good laugh. The night was made even better by a phone call off my brother telling me he'd just got engaged, and wanted me to be the first to know.

Yesterday I watched the football, then was having a few cans, chatting to a couple of my house/workmates who were cooking a roast, and they put a plate together for me, as they had shitloads spare.

All in all, pretty damn good weekend!

Hello
Listen, I was wondering, if you don't mind. It's just that I've thought about this for quite a bit and never do anything about it, and it would be nice if, you know, maybe something could happen? I donno, let's give it a try and see, worst comes to it we can still be friends.

it occurs to me that, if I am brutally honest, I do not give even the tiniest wizened tagnut of a shit about the Tunisian system of government.

They could overthrow the government and descend into frenzied cannibalism and I would struggle to suppress a languid yawn.
