Women of Nottingham

My God there were some gorgeous women in Nottingham today. Sun was out, low cut tops were on, legs were out.....stunning.....well not ALL of them.
While I may have been seen to be admiring some of the stunners I was also seen to be gawping at some of the absolute munters that were walking around as well!! Who tells them that they looks good in those clothes???? Crop tops are great...SO LONG AS YOUR GUT ISN'T OVERHANGING YOUR TROUSERS!!!!
You get the idea. Beauty and the beasts. The contrast was unbelievable.

Human Rights and Big Brother...my ass!!!!

I've decided that people are just stupid. I think it's why I play video games and watch...er..stuff instead of talking to people. I know what you're thinking; "but Sharif you always have been like this, why tell us now?". Well it came about this lunchtime. My lunch buddy, Lindsey, has been off sick for a few days. So without her to talk to I have had to read the Nottingham Evening Post. And even worse I've actually read most of it in detail! So back to why I think people are stupid. The letters page. Why do I do it to myself? WHY???

A couple of points that I feel I need to make to the imbeciles that write into the Evening Post:

1. Having your car photographed to see how long you have been parked somewhere is NOT an infringement on your human rights! For fucks sake get a fucking life! They have every right to take a photo as proof. No doubt it is land owned by someone else so in future DON'T PARK THERE YOU TWAT!!!
2. If you didn't get a fine for something illegal or if you paid the damn thing on time then they wouldn't have to send the Bailiffs round to your house. I got a fine for not having a TV License. I didn't agree with it but tough. Laws are laws. So I paid it. No Bailiffs kicking my door in legally while I was out to catalogue stuff to take. No problem. PAY THE FUCKING FINE ON TIME AND STOP COMPLAINING! DON'T BREAK THE LAW IN THE FIRST PLACE!

From the letters in the paper there does seem to be the general feeling that we are being spied on and tracked. Please, how important do you think you are? THEY are not watching you unless you do something to make them want to watch you. I'm pretty sure they can't be bothered to watch you either. Stop being twats and get on with it. If you don't like it try to make a change via your MP. If nothing happens they try and overthrow the Government. Then They will watch you and you can feel justified.

Disclaimer: Not all readers of the Evening Post are Twats. Just some of them!

Nottingham missing from Google!

If you want directions from Nottingham to any other city in the UK and you typw this into Google Maps you get that it cannot be calculated! Quite funny I think!
However this tiny anomaly has been turned into an entire page news story, with images, in our local newspaper The Nottingham Evening Post. A WHOLE PAGE!!!! Does it really matter? Google don't hate Nottingham. Who do you think you are, China???? Now, unfortuantely all their simplier readers will take it personally and the local chip on the shoulder will appear and everyone will say how rude this is and there'll be a follow up story, probably involving street interviews.....dear God local papers are shit!

Martin Gillingham column Evening Post 29/4/10

Now, in the past I may have said a nasty thing about this lovely journalist. Something along the lines of "Don't ever read his column if you are in Nottingham" may have been written. For that I apologise mainly because I have had to agree with soem of the stuff he has written lately.
And today he has written an absolute blinder of an article! For 2 reasons:
1. It had a go at Liverpool FC
2. It had a go at overpaid, celebraties that we call Premiership footballers!
I to was wound up with news reports of "Liverpool's epic journey" to Sapin last week. Get a life! Anyone would think they had to hitch a ride there or go in some sort of battered coach from some company in Merthyr!
It was great publicity for the club, and wouldn't have bothered them. Just get on with it!

Thanks Martin for taking the time to point this out to the world!! Well Nottinghamshire anyway!

Lostprophets

I fulfilled a dream on the 7th February 2010. It's not often that this can be said but I did.
Everyone has ridiculous dreams, like winning the lottery, living in a mansion, supermodel orgies....then there are the ones that may happen should things work out right.
I have several of these. Be in America to watch a Superbowl on TV, own a nice car, have a job I want.....then each of these may have an even harder sub section......get tickets to see the Superbowl, own an Autin Martin, work for a major video game company.....
Well I have acheived a few of these goals already. The most notable are:
-Not only getting married but marrying a sexy stunner
-Not only having kids but having 2 beautiful, healthy daughters
-Not only seeing Wales win a Grand Slam but seeing them live at Millenium Stadium

So, back to the 7th Feb. I'm not a live music person. However I would like to see 3 bands (having seen Faith No More inmy teens!); Foo Fighters, Aerosmith and, for most of this decade, Lostprohets. The additional sub section for this is to see them at the mighty Rock City. I'd given up the ghost on the Rock City part as I thought they'd all be too big to play there.
Then They came (turns out it was the 4th time they'd played there but I'm not an up-to-date music person so didn't realise!!).
The Prophets at Rock City! I risked everything in October and used our last £50 to get tickets. I kept the secret from my lovely wife until Christmas (which was so hard as she is obsessed with them as well!). Then we went.
Aside from the fact that it was the first time in over a year that we'd been able to go out together (thanks sexy Jen for baby sitting) this night was amazing. Queueing was exciting. Seeing the mix of people was amazing. Even catching a glimpse of the Hexes guitarist with fag in mouth getting a bag from the ex-Royal Mail van (even thought we had no idea who he was!) was great!
I'm not going to go into details about the gig, but the support acts were brilliant (The Hexes and Kids in Glass Houses) and the Lostprophets were...well perfect. It bettered anything I thought possible. The show was amazing. Some songs nearly brought tears to my eyes. Funny in places ("What's that? The fucking universal hand signal for Godzilla?)" Genius!) and musically just FUCKING GREAT!!!!

One other point. Seeing nearly 3,000 people in the Rock capital of the world, worshipping 5 Welshmen like that reminded me how proud I am to be Welsh. We rule the world!!

I'm now trying to raise money for the newly instated CIA gig on 1st May. Am I allowed to sell children on ebay? £54 seems like a million!

Anyway, guys if you happen to stumble across this blog, I want to thank you for a great night and hope to see you play again soon. My wife wants to profess her love for you all and she's yours if I can have tickets and backstage passes and a few drinks with you all!!!

Lostprophets. Rock Gods!!!!
