Its always good to know that the rich are getting richer. Makes me feel better about myself and i can sleep a lot easier at night. And as for the rest of us well we just get poorer what with food and fuel prices, its lucky are government looks after us.

Was no surprise to me that Lindi went tonight. Forget about business acumen this program is about entertainment pure and simple. Lindi offers very little entertainment value compared to Jennifer and Lucinder.

 Jennifer reminds me of Helena a backstabbing shark, although i did think Helena may of changed until she denied talking behind Jenifers back. So Jenifer makes good viewing as we love to watch bitchy people or should i say characters we can hate. It wouldn’t bother me to much but once again the bully singles out the easiest prey which is Lucinda. Hopefully big Claire will give Jennifer and Helena a good hiding before the show finishes.

 Now for Lucinda and  there was no way she was going to go, as with the bitch we also need a victim to watch. If anyone looks like they need a cuddle and to be protected its poor little Lucinda. The girl speaks the truth, is concerned about the welfare of others and is treated like shit. Sad but true just how accurately that reflects society in general.

 Funniest clip was when Sir Alan told the winners they were going in a helicopter. I took one look at Claire and prayed it was an RAF carrier helicopter that was transporting them. Probably all the ice cream.

I had a thought after reading about some poor chap who was fined for having his wheelie bin slightly over filled. Does anyone remember when they had bins? I remember the days when the binmen would come round, go up your entry into your back yard and carry yours and next doors full tin bins out to the waggon. Then when at the waggon he would manually tip the rubbish in before replacing the empty bin back into your yard. Ok agreed occasionally when we did fill the bin with non household rubbish we may of heard him mutter obscenities as he made his way to the waggon. But did he refuse to take it or go off work injured for six months? Of course not because this was when men were men and binmen were gladiators not like the fairy refuse collectors of today. Now we have to make sure are wheelie bin is not overfilled, positioned correctly at the end of the path and run for cover if the bins dirty. Any refuse collectors who wonder why they don’t get a crimbo tip just ask someone who remembers real binmen. They deserved their tips because they provided a decent service not like today were householders have to do half the work for them. Bring back the binmen i say and send the refuse collectors to collect trolleys in the local supermarket.

Watched this last night and thought it was brilliant. A few of the quotes concerning Liverpool that really made me proud ‘ first global city ‘ ‘ worlds greatest port city ‘. Also i found it amazing that the city was mortgaged to finance the building of the dock. Any councillors who watched it hopefully wont get any ideas regarding financing Capital of Culture. I was glad that Time Team managed to find at least one scouse historian who sounded extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the city. If there is one moan i have its that it should of been longer. You got the feeling they were only scratching the surface with the docks , and that Liverpool has got so many stories to share with the world. Overall a great program and showcased Liverpool’s amazing history.

Apparently now any trainee pilot on attachment with the RAF can use a Chinook helicopter to ferry ones bro to a stag do and also pop into the girlfriends via landing in the back garden. Well when i say anyone obviously i mean only the royal family, as its one rule for them and another rule for everyone else. Full story here. You can just imagine William to his bro ‘ no trouble H i will just borrow the old Chinook to fly us to the stag do. The commoners will never find out’. Then in bed with Kate as she whispers to him ‘ what a magnificent chopper you have William ‘ unfortunately she is referring to the one parked in her back garden and not Williams man hood.

So after keeping myself awake through the Audley ‘ i have been out for 18 months ‘ Harrison rubbish i was expecting big things from Calzaghe. It looked like it was going to be a stormer when Joe was put down in the first. However Hopkins fought his fight with more than a little help from the ref. I am not surprised the final scorecards were as they were as it was a terribly hard fight to judge. I think Joe deserved the victory for being the aggressor but it most defiantly wont go down as a classic. Next time i will just catch the repeat the next day. My prediction never looked like happening either which if Joe had been busier and stepped back more after the jab well may of happened. But full credit to Hopkins for his tactics which worked for him throughout the fight.

Apparently the fight isn’t going to be on until 3am so i am still in two minds whether or not to watch it. If i go to bed then theres no chance i am getting up to watch it so the only option is to stay awake. You can tell your getting old when you think 3 is late and you know your going to take the knock on the couch and miss the fight. I will be alright till 1 as Bravo2 has the UFC on from midnight till 1, so its 1 till 2 i need to fill. I say 2 as then theres the pre fight crap on to keep me entertained. Another option is to go out on the lash and just get back for 3. But then i have to deal with the earache, headache and every other ache i get when i try to act like a teeny bopper. So still undecided at this point. I just hope big Joe gives him a royal ass whopping. Prediction Joe to stop him after round 8.

Everything seemed to be going well this morning. Our daughter had not woken up before the milkman so we did not have the ‘ is it time to get up yet ‘ question shouted in to us every five minutes. Then when we did get up there was no outbreak of world war 3 over shoes, uniform or lost whatever. In fact i should of realised everything was going to well as i was lulled in to a false sense of peacefulness. It was broken as i dressed upstairs and heard my daughter come halfway up the stairs and then shout to me ‘ dad i had an insect in my hair ‘. Before i had even had time to wonder what on Earth she was going on about the doom and gloom don’t play with fire in the morning ( in other words my other half ) entered the room. ‘ Shes got nits ‘ was the declaration and so begins are war on the nits.

 Now this wasn’t fully unexpected as for the past 6 months there has been outbreaks of nits within our daughters class in school. I don’t know if the nit spreader has ever been brought to justice but you cant dodge a bullet forever as they say. Anyway a trip to the chemist for some hair medication and a nit comb and she will be sorted. The bloody annoying thing is as soon as i found out about are new friends my head starting itching. We have both checked our hair and it does look like its only a child infestation at this moment in time, but that hasn’t stopped the itching so it must be a mind thing.

 The outcome of this little adventure in nits is that i have decided that as a family we should all get our heads shaved. For me its not a problem as i have had short hair before. The females on the other hand totally dismissed it and one even started crying, so i withdrew the decision………so they think. Tonight is operation ‘ shave head whilst asleep ‘. This may sound cruel but i feel its needed to be sure we have overcome the massing invaders. Now were are my clippers.

I have ideas on a daily basis, ideas for businesses, films, books, shows, ideas about everything and anything. So yesterday i was thinking about the polar caps and the way they are changing and how most people will only ever get to see them on TV or internet. It also dawned on me that they are changing so drastically that do we really know how much longer they will even resemble what we imagine the polar caps to be. So with this in mind i thought to myself that i would like to go on an expedition around one of the polar caps. Now me being me i am not going on some life changing adventure via a travel agent oh no its time for operation ‘ lease an icebreaker ‘.

 Lease An Icebreaker

At first the idea involved a number of people who all share the same sense of adventure getting together and purchasing an ice breaker for our voyage. I then did some research and discovered the price of an ice breaker, although it wasn’t so much the price but the ratio of people it could accommodate compared to the number of participating adventurers. One i checked could berth 52 people and cost just under a million so split between 52 the cost would be ridiculous. I see no problem getting people involved in the project, but if i got a 1000 people at a grand each that would cover the cost of purchase. The problem is how long some people would have to wait for their turn on the ship. However i then noticed that the ship may be for lease and that will cut costs dramatically.

 So i source a group of individuals who would all like to participate in a life changing voyage around one of the polar caps on a ship we have all chipped in to lease. Obviously the full financial details have to be worked out including the leasing costs and fuel costs etc but just the thought of this is amazing. It may even be possible to crew the ship from people within the project. Then theres the publicity this would attract and the frenzy it would cause. I really believe if i could come up with a realistic figure i would have people queueing up for this adventure. Imagine writing your blog whilst on a ship crashing through ice around one of the polar caps. A ship that you helped lease and that you have a say in what happens and where it goes, its just mind blowing.

 I really will have to have a look into this over the next few days. It may turn out to not be at all viable but if it can be done its a once in a lifetime opportunity. Remember anythings possible and even if its not you gain knowledge whilst trying so its a winner anyway.

Psycho

Poor old Simon the guy really does wear his heart on his sleeve. Unfortunately he does come across as a raving psycho both in looks and mannerisms. You can imagine this guy going to your local shopping centre trying to sell his product. If someone refuses its highly likely hes going to open up with a fully automatic weapon and a few grenades. I don’t think he deserved to go as he got little respect from some of the others in his group, but the chances of him snapping under the pressure aren’t worth the risk.

Yellow Belly

Alex ‘ you were so far back you were out of the room ‘ yellow belly lol. This guy just wants to fly under the radar for as long as possible and shift blame whenever he can. He needs a good bath to try to remove that yellow streak and someone to pass his toys back to him that he threw out of the pram. I would of said Claire deserved to go until i witnessed Alex turning on her because Sir Alan was ripping her apart.

Man Head

Some women don’t like being told what to do by men. Some women have bigger arms than men. Some women think they are men. Claire is one of these women also referred to as man heads. I truly believe in equality but there are differences in general between men and women. She showed no respect to Simon as he was project leader and tbh did little for women in general. The only reason she was kept in is for viewing figures. Simon would of got more viewers but mass murdering the rest of the apprentices probably isn’t great for the program. Also Claire mentioned Simon being like a missile. Well if a missile hit Claire it would rain fat for a week.

Just a little note on Helene. She came across as a right bully and the sooner she gets found out the better.
