Did you know?

It’s impossible to look cool whilst using an office water cooler.

(this was entirely unintentional, but whilst looking for a picture, I found this… amazing!)

Ronnie O’Sullivan is an idiot

I’m not questioning his ability on the snooker table, because he is unquestionably one of, if not the, best player the snooker world has ever seen. Natual talent and ability, entertaining and amazing power. He really used to be a role model for wannabe snooker players.

Notice I say “used” to be, though. Because frankly, I’m getting bored of him forever complaining about snooker – the sport that has made him a millionaire, given him media spotlight and made it OK to have a father in jail for murder.

Every time he finishes a match, he makes comments like “I really don’t care”, “couldn’t care less if I win or lose” and “snooker bores me now”. Example? Here to name but one. Further searches on BBC and the web will reveal similar examples.

Why? What is his problem? Why is he always feeling so bloody sorry for himself? Being an international sportsman takes hard work and commitment, but I can think of about a squillion people who would give some part of their respective genitalia to be in his position. And all he can do is whinge about it. It’s getting tiring.

“Oh my God, I’m so good, I mean, I’m obviously the best in the world, and you know, it’s really tiring and boring, and well, I dunno, I can’t deal with being so good”.

Blah.

UPDATE: It seems I’m not the only one who feels this way.

Rock n Roll

Cool people tend to do really big things to prove how cool they are. Rockers bust up musical equipment, or eat live bats, footballers tend to snort cocaine and rape women, cricketers, well they just get pissed. But Formula 1 drivers? When Fernando Alonso secured the Constructors Championship with a win in the last race of the F1 season in China, he set fire to his car by ragging the nuts off of it at the rev limiter whilst idling. Crazy fool.

ICC Super Series

Frankly, it’s a bit of a joke all round. OK so Australia winning isn’t exactly what I want to see full stop, but has anyone noticed that it’s the Englishmen doing all the hard work? Particularly our Freddie. He, Harmy and KP are out there busting their guts in a so-called World XI when it seems like no-one else in the team, the so-called greats of the game like Lara can barely score a run or a take a wicket between them. And at a time when they’re supposed to be preparing for a test series against Pakistan. It’s ridiculous – the whole series has been a complete farce.

If England lose in Pakistan (because our players aren’t sufficiently rested) then it’s going to undo all the hard work and good that’s come from the Ashes series. More here.

Debt. Don’t get me started.

This makes me sick. People always on the blame. If you look at the BBC’s Debt & Borrowing minisite, you can read the stories people submitted about their debts. Like the woman bankrupt aged 28 or the woman who retired 100k in the red. These people all have very convincing stories as to why it wasn’t their fault and most of them look to blame other people saying there should be some sort of control on who will get credit and who will hold their hands in the shop and tell them they don’t need to buy whatever it is.

It’s bollocks. These people are willpowerless morons who deserve no compassion. I don’t have debts, have a small amount of savings, a good motorbike and plenty of nice possessions. I had a good upbringing, but everything I own, I own because I worked hard to get it.

These people should shut the smeg up and grab some responsibility.

Wine… is good for you.

Apparently drinking a glass of 2 of red wine every night is supposedly good for you, and will help stop you getting colds etc. I drink 3 or 4 every night and I’m currently ill. Pah. I’m obviously not drinking enough.

Insurance. Always a scam.
