Bloody Chavs! I went down to my local shops earlier today to get some curry for dinner, while in Coopers (the grocery shop) I noticed a group of chavs no more than twelve years old trying to buy cigarettes. They were obviously refused and then after muttering to themselves about how the man behind the counter was “totally gay” left the shop.
After paying for my meal I left and proceeded home when I noticed the same group of chavs inside the off licence. Through the glass I noticed one of them was giving the man behind the counter abuse, probably because he too didn’t want to serve a minor Marlborough Lights and White Lightening Cider.
Now, I’ve seen a lot of teenagers turned down by shops as they look too young. When I was younger I was sometimes unable to get served for 18 rated videos and alcohol even though I was legally old enough. These minors however were obviously below age, in fact I’d go as far to say they were still in junior school.
Makes you think this chav culture is getting younger and younger. I think it’s only a matter of time before new born babies will be smoking cannabis, drinking cider from a Tele Tubbies bottle and wearing bling bling dummies.
Goo Goo Gaa Gaa Innit
Incidentally there is a program about Chavs on Sky One this coming Monday at 9pm. It looks interesting although from what I’ve read, the presenter is defending the chavs!
I went to the cinema this evening to watch Are We There Yet? starring the gangster rapper Ice Cube.
In the film, Ice Cube sees a bird he likes and wants to get off with. She won’t be any more than friends because he has no interest in her brat children. Bird then has to go off to Canada, Ice Cube ends up taking kids up to meet her in his beloved car – with comical results…
The film was nothing special, worth watching for a bit of midweek entertainment. It was very predictable (in fact most of the funniest scenes are in the trailer!) but this was to be expected, as well as this the laughs were very cheap.
Ice Cube did look a bit of a fool throughout the whole film, although that was the aim of his character. Still it is a completely different image from the one he portrayed in the 80’s and 90’s during his hip hop career.
Who would have thought the gangster who shouted “Fuck the Police” would be playing the clown 17 years on?
The film did keep me entertained unlike the groups of kids in the cinema who got bored. They were running up and down the aisles, kicking chairs, talking and making a load noise grazing upon their Nachos. If they got bored they should leave and go and watch The Magic Roundabout.
Overall, I wouldn’t see it again, certainly wouldn’t buy the DVD. The current average score on IMDB is 3.5 which is very unfair in my opinion, especially as Churchill: The Hollywood Years is on 5.0 and Alexander has 5.5, both of which are terrible films.
If you’re bored one evening and you’re stuck for something to watch, give it a go. Also keep an eye out for the cameo role from Jerry Hardin – Deep Throat to X-Files fans.
Firstly a big thank you to Mr. Hobart AKA Daninthemix AKA DJ Dan AKA Hob Rat, I could go on…
He has used his superb music skills to make me a mix especially for my birthday next month. I haven’t heard it yet and will probably wait until my birthday before I do have a listen. It’s online now for download, so if you fancy a listen you can get it from his website here.
Once again, thanks Dan, I’ll get you those Stephanie McIntosh screen captures you wanted even quicker now – even though I’ve taken half a century already! :o)
Anyway, you may have noticed that I have added a new section to Sparkster.net. The webcam has now returned. Unlike when it was run in the summer, I am using no 3rd party resources or servers. The images captured by the webcam are uploaded directly onto the Sparkster.net server.
While it won’t be online all the time due to me sleeping, working, out the house and not turning on the PC and webcam, you should be able to catch me if your lucky. I recommend tuning in during Leeds United games. If I’m not at the ground or it’s a televised game, more than likely I’ll be listening over the Internet.
I’ve been known to jump and dance around the room when Leeds score! Mind you, Leeds are playing top of the table Wigan on Saturday so I don’t think I’ll be doing much dancing.
It’s been freezing in Bath all day, easily the coldest day of the winter. Yet again there is nothing to show for it though – 2 feet of snow would be nice! In this kind of temperature you really need to leave the heating on all day – I didn’t do this and the house is taking forever to heat up.
That’s enough about the weather; you know a blog site is running low on material when it starts mentioning that!
I’m currently watching the tsunami charity football game on ITV2 featuring a Europe First 11 Vs Rest of the World First 11. Here, the best players from around the world play a friendly benefit match in aid of the Asian tsunami victims.
Being a friendly it is a very slow game (even though the score is currently 6-3!) but it is still good watching the world’s greatest football talent playing against each other.
What’s more, Leeds United’s very own Lucas Radabe is playing! It’s great to see Lucas playing, he has been out of the Leeds team for so long with injury and it looks like he is finally making a come back.
Lucas Radabe. Leeds legend. Looks crap in red though!
According to the commentators, most of the major English clubs were asked if they would allow their players to take part in this match. Selfishly both Man Utd and Chelsea have not allowed any of their squad to take part. This is a disgrace, especially as they are two of the largest and richest clubs in the world. It would be nice and right to see both of them making a hefty donation to the appeal.
Arsenal didn’t do much better, they only allowed Thierry Henry to take part and with their manager Arsene Wenger also taking charge of Henry’s team, the Arsenal striker’s time on the pitch was kept to a minimum.
To me, this game is a warm up to The Champions League games next week. There are some mouth-watering games coming up – Chelsea v Barcelona, Man Utd v AC Milan, Arsenal v Bayern Munich and Liverpool v Bayer Leverkusen.
While I’d like to see Arsenal progress well, I’m going to be a right git and hope all the other three English teams fall out! They’re all bitter rivals of Leeds after all! Man Utd and Liverpool would wish the same upon Leeds and Chelsea have only got where they are by spending somebody else’s money. I’m so bitter! :o)
I read a very interesting article on the Internet yesterday. According to football website TEAMtalk, Leeds United may approach Newcastle United in a bid to sign the excellent James Milner on loan.
Who needs Wayne Rooney when you’ve got James Milner?
Milner was a fan’s favourite at Leeds in the 2002/3 and 2003/4 seasons, but was controversially sold to Newcastle after Leeds were relegated. Since then Milner has been out of favour at Newcastle with manager Graham Souness not really rating him.
At Leeds, alongside Aaron Lennon in midfield, Milner will be a massive asset and really help in the promotion campaign.
One major factor in whether Milner returns to Leeds or not is how well Newcastle do in the Uefa Cup and FA Cup. If they continue further into these competitions, Milner’s services may be required. Therefore I will be cheering Heerenveen on Thursday and Chelsea on Sunday, both of whom are playing Newcastle and could knock them out the competitions.
Remember, this story did come from the TEAMtalk website where the news stories are about as reliable as an old pissed bloke sitting in the corner of dirty pub.
One final football story this evening, what a complete moron Eidur Gudjohnsen of Chelsea is! Chelsea are to of the league and Gudjohnsen is arguably one of their best players.
So what does he do Saturday night (allegedly)? Go out, get pissed and drive home. Needless to say he got caught by police and was arrested after he overloaded the breathalyser machine when it reached 101% – the only other person to reach that limit was George Best.
An artists impression of Gudjohnsen out on Saturday night
Gudjohnsen is not the only player to get caught drink driving recently. Arsenal’s Jermaine Pennant was caught earlier in the year. It makes you wonder how many players actually do it and get away with it. More than you would think I bet…
