Game Over for FileFront…

It would seem that the current economic downturn has sadly taken it’s toll on FileFront, (In my day known as FilesNetwork / FileFreak) – and although I haven’t visited for a couple of years now, I still have a few friends who go there and seem a little sad about it.

I have to admit that, while there are far more important things to worry about, it is sad to know that a lot of the hard work some people put into that place, for free no less, will now be consigned to a recycle bin. It’s sad for all the folks too who will be loosing their jobs and of course, now have to replace that income someplace. It’s sad for folks like JJ who, while no longer with the company, will see his shining glory dissapear, probably forever.

Still, it just shows what the credit crunch can cause, major names like Woolworths and MFI have folded here recently, and nearly every business seems to be struggling. My own small business has been cutting back costs and feeling the force of it, even at MCC we’re feeling the strain too, with job cuts and restructures. All our futures are in the balance, including my own.

Of course I am just happy to have a job and a relatively profitable venture going at the moment, but it’s a worrying time we live in, and I for one am preparing as best I can for the future.

Still, I’ll have to raise a glass to FileFront. If any current or ex-FF/FN/GF guys happen to read this, feel free to drop me a line, I’ll buy you an e-beer.

Jade is still an annoying crack whore.

You just can’t get away from the fact that Jade Goody is, as far as I can tell, seeing out her final days on Earth. I’ve tried to ignore it, the same way I’ve ignored her entire “career” as somebody who does fuck-all for a living, but I’m now at the point where even I have to join the masses and write something about her.

I’m not going to write a whole deal nice, though. I’m getting a little bit tired, to be honest, of the constant Public Relations dog-shit that is being poured down my throat day after day from this woman, and her situation now seems so dramatic that I think I’m the only person left who can see past Max Clifford’s propaganda shpeel.

The newspapers can’t seem to make their mind up. They claim he has days left to live, then hours, then revert back to weeks when it turns out that, instead of dying, she’s getting herself and her two boys christened, since it makes a good photo oppertunity (if you discount the fact she looks like Doctor Evil….)

What is getting to me is the fact that she is fully aware of the PR face-saving campaign and that every little detail of her death is as good as fabricated. She’s dying. Who on Earth spends their dying days trying to flood the public domain with stuff that makes people like you again? Nobody will remember the fact she’s a bully and a racist after this, just “brave” Jade.

And that’s another point. Why should she be constantly described as brave? I can’t even begin to imagine how many people suffer from horrors equal to or worse than she is, every single day, but they’re not described as brave. They’re not heroes. They’re not mentioned at all.

Wendy Richards recently died from cancer. Did you know that? She played Pauline Fowler on EastEnders for the better part of two decades. When she left the show the media coverage was huge. She never maade a fuss, a single press release, she died with some dignity. Infact the day of her passing barely got a mention, after which there was a cut-to segment of Jade Goody farting in bed, and being described as “brave” for it.

And another arse-hole who is really getting my goat right now is Mrs. Goody’s new husband Jack Tweedy. Just realised I should’a put Jade Tweedy throughout this but, fuck it. This cunt is so distraught about the fact that her new wife is dying and he can’t see her due to his bail conditions, that he’s grabbing a Pizza hut with his mates, having 20 pints and then going to few a multi-million dollar penthouse, which should be a doddle to pay off on his soon coming inheretence. Jade is a fucking hero compared to this fucker.

Anyway, my position on this is clear now. I’m expecting a heap of hate-mail from hypocrites and sycophants (hah) over this, as I did get on Digital Spy for a similar rant. It seems people these days are trying to make themselves feel good by pretending to feel sorry for Jade and “stick up” for her, despite the fact these same people used to fry her alive for being the racist bully she is. Where the fuck have all these moral people come from? I liked the world better when most people where rapists, murderers or drug addicts.

More cheerful topic next week/month/year.

You're kidding me, right?

I’ve written a blog title without three dots at the end. I do listen to the feedback, people.

Can you Adam n’ Eve it? YouTube finally whacked the ban stick down on my old account full of things that should not have been there, so the video section is now also useless, along with the content bit, the contact bit, and pretty much all of it. The development time on this website is becoming beyond funny, I know, but at least the blog is kept semi-updated.

The problem is, my other channel, with the HD videos on, has also now gone, as I stupidly used the same e-mail address. Aren’t I clever?

I recently did a talk to an entire school about the virtues of Health & Safety. That’s 650 kids. (Nobody else would do it, no.) Suffice to say the experience was, well, different than I was expecting. Kids have a good sense of humor, and teachers are a lot hotter than I remember. Teaching assistants are anyway. The where totally all over me and my shining high-vis and safety helmet. (….or not).It was surprisingly good fun anyway. We had a DVD projector set up and banners and stuff, it looked really professional. I think the best bit was when I asked the kids what a skip was, and one girl replied back “crisps”. – Good times.

Anyway, I totally also went to York last weekend to see Tornado, the brand-new steam locomotive, the first one built for over 40 years, and also Sir Nigel Gresley, the A4 Pacific loco. 4am rise, out of Piccadilly Station by 5am – suffice to say it was a good day, although the hangover was a little too much for some, and indeed York station now has a sort of barf-yellow tint. You can check out the photos at the usual place.

Anyway, gotta scoot’n me noot’n, or however that saying goes. I shall wite about the dying or potentially by that time dead Jade Goody soon, along with fixing the 500,000 errors and shiz.

Peace bredren.
