Contractual obligations

Last night, I made a one off trip to the nightclub 5th avenue, Manchester. It was so very cool when I was 18, but as I am now 20, it makes me feel old, and badly dressed.

Anyhow, after passing the large hoard of overweight bouncers, I was signalled over to one of them - he had a clipboard. Clipboard mafia was my instant thought - I do not want to take part in any survey about what I think of the 5th ave experience. I think it's pretty poor to be honest and the bouncers at that club are by far some of the most obnoxious and jumped up in town. But there was no survey to complete, instead, they wanted me to sign a contract, accepting 'liability' for any damage done to my feet as a result of my 'inappropriate footwear'. Apparently, there have been a number of incidents where stilettoed girls have crucified sandal wearing ladies with their points and 'ripped their toes off'.

FFS.

I think the words of Peter Andre are appropriate here, this is insania.

The Observer

David Mitchell is right about everything.


If I end up bumping into him in the pub, it will be worth moving to London.

Coco avant Chanel

Worth a fiver to see it, but it didn't need to be as long as it was. If you're not interested in clothes, then I would wait until it comes on television.

Underage and Pregnant

This show is very popular on iPlayer at the moment and I can see why. It is BBC3 at its best - looking into the cracks of screwed up Britain, finding something really troublesome and worrying, and not asking 'why are these girls doing this?' but shoving it in their face and blaming them for their ruined childhoods.

Good to watch, though.

In memory

I was never an avid reader, but I do think its' demise is sad. Nobody likes music anymore, they just like what's cool. It's not about dithering over the words any more.

Nothing good makes money any more. If we don't want to wake in a world full of Tesco furniture, reading the Amazon magazine, then we should start supporting independent ventures, and businesses, now.

Johnny Depp

I recently went to see Public Enemies, the new Hollywood film based on the life of John Dillinger. Dillinger was a bank robber operating big jobs during the Great Depression, and managed to create a image for himself as a hero of the people (or so is the case according to the film, and wikipedia).

Johnny Depp stars and it's worth watching just for his performance, which is reminiscent of his role in Blow. He can definitely make shooting people and cocaine addiction look appealing.

You are not a vegetarian

Just an image.
