The title of TV's Embarrassing Bodies seems to be a little bit misleading as most of the people on it aren't embarrassed at all. Why else would they go on TV, and in front of millions of viewers reveal their most intimate problems. They may be to embarrassed to tell their doctor but their more than happy to 'get em out' in front of the cameras. I'm not a fan of horror films but some of the horrors I've had to endure (its compulsive viewing for some people in our house)would be x rated in the cinema. As far as boundaries, there is nothing off limits. No penis to small no breast to big, No orfice unprobed. I'm surprised that nobody's complained about the title, after all the only people who seem to be embarrased are the audience.
The end of the world cup has given players like Steven Gerard the opportunity to hang up their international boots. Pity that a lot of the commentators, haven't walked down the same plank, lets face it Dour and dire sums the majority of them up,
They say our national game needs a reality check, maybe the way we commentate on the game needs to change too. Here's an idea, how about the commentators from the Eurovision song contest. Terry Wogan or Graham Norton calling the games might be the wake up call the football needs. Eurovision is always presented with tongue firmly in cheek. Our football has sunk so low maybe it should be treated in the same way. We still may not win anything but at least it would be more fun.
A report this week said that typewriters are making a comeback, I say not If I can help it! I'd probably have to destroy a small rainforest with the number of rewrites I have to do to get the is column out.
Suckered in by the trailers I went to see Dawn of the planet of the apes the other day - what can I say you've seen one talking monkey you've seen em all. - Disappointing
Just in case your vocabulary is sagging here are a few of the latest entries in to the new chambers dictionary Milf, Sexting, Vajazzle, Totes, Frape, and strangest of all Crotch rocket: Sounds like something that should be discussed on Embarrassing bodies!
Kirsty Alsop may be great at finding houses but I don't think shes going to be very succesful when she comes to selling her own, her mum is buried in the garden. Any (under)takers?
I was given as lecture this week about how important the singer Morrisey is to popular music, and why I must buy his new album. Their reasoning - he hasn't been well and it would cheer him up......
But With titles like 'World peace is none of your business' or how about another called the bullfighter dies I'm not surprised he's feeling a little bit down, how about writing something happy for a change, that might cheer you up
Another one bites the dust.... comic book hero's Archie, is to be killed off this week. I remember him as the ginger ld with freckles having comedy adventures with his friend Jug head, seems like he's grown up a lot since I was a kid The poor fella is to be shot trying to save his gay friend from a deranged gunman. And this is in the same week, that Thor is to be redrawn, this time as a woman! Comic books have definitely changed a lot from when I used to read them.
Somebody was talking about a 'prog rock' band, they were in, the other day. 'Prog rock'! Who remembers that musical genre, a proper late 60's back in the day thing. All musical genres have uniform and Prog rock bands didn't disappoint. Theirs was the big flairs or loons as they used to be called, Kaftans or tie dye shirts, Hair was one of two styles long straggly or with a bit of a boufant mullet combo. and of course a moustache or beard was obligatory. Ask a kid today if they'd heard of Tangerine Dream or Zappa and they'll think your talking about video games, yet these were the One Direction of their day. Anyway, I think its time to get ready to rock because he told me their was revival on the way , hail hail rock and roll, but lay off the loons and the tie dye this time around
