Alchoholism, and why the proposed cider tax isn't going to make a difference.

If you're like me (and probably everyone over the age of 12) you do like a drop of the ol' alchohol every now and again. And when I say that, I mean all the time. I couldn't call myself an alchoholic, but I drink a wee bit too much at home. (I don't go out to drink...I'm not cool enough for that level of social interaction) I also didn't really drink a lot until the end of year 10. I've always felt like the odd one out in most things, and teenage drinking was one of 'em. While everyone around me went out and gave their livers a good kicking without their parents knowing, I was sat at home like a good little boy playing on my PS2 and eating Doritos without a care in the world (well, apart from trying to defeat Sephiroth on Kingdom Hearts II, he was a bitch!). I would regularly walk into school on Monday and be greeted with hangover suffering younglings, while I took pleasure In the fact I didn't have that horrid headache from hell. Although when I finally started drinking though, I soon discovered the "wonders" of a hangover, and it weren't pleasant I tell thee'. But anyway, onto this whole cider Tax nonsense.
Apparently, by raising the tax for cider by 10%, young teenagers will not want to drink any more because it will be too expensive. So...what's going to stop them from wanting cheaper varieties of other drinks then? Young teenagers aren't fussy about what they drink, that's why they drink rat's piss like White Lightning and Strongbow. (Not to sound snobby or anything, but I'm a Kopparberg man) You can get cheap bottles of vodka for about 3 quid, which is perfect for all the slaggy little 13 year olds to get wasted on.

Teenage drinking can't be stopped, It's been going on for years and years now. It's only because of the stupid paranoid country we llive in today which has highlighted this as a problem. I'm not condoning teenage drinking by any means, but at least think of a better way to crackdown on it. Don't let us over age (posh)cider drinkers suffer for it!

Let's talk Shakespeare (and when I say talk, I mean complain about...)

According to Wikipedia, no-one knows when William Shakespeare was born, further enforcing my idea that he is one of the many spawns of Satan.

If you have ever studied English,( which you must have because we've all been to school at some point in our lives... although if not, haven't you got some manual labour to be getting on with?) you'll have most likely faced the wrath of Shakespeare be it Romeo & Juliet (probably the most bearable of his workings),Macbeth or even Hamlet(Witney college A2 English Lang & Lit put ya' hands up!).

While there is certainly nothing wrong with the basic storyline in each respective play,there is a lot wrong with everything else. For example...

.How he manipulated words just so they could fit in with his style of writing
.How he insisted on making every last line overly complicated
.How he could never quite decide how his characters behave
.How he decide not to use speech marks (I suppose that's ok because they're plays but I'm onto something here.)

Now, I wouldn't have much of a problem with this, if it wasn't for teachers worshipping this, considering his work to be the best work of literature ever created.JUST BECAUSE HE WAS THE FIRST PERSON TO TRY THESE THINGS DOESN'T MAKE IT THE BEST! These techniques were put here for people to expand and improve upon, not to just stare at for the next 500 years remarking how wonderful it all is. And then, your teacher will make you slog through every English lesson, trying to decode what Shakespeare was trying to say when he used the word "hello". (And I'm not even exaggerating, my English lecturer actually set this a question once...)

And if you tried to use any of Shakespeare's techniques in your own work, you'd just get shunned by your teacher for having a rubbish,nonsensical bit of writing.

You can try and point out Shakespeare's flaws to your Teacher but they are too busy sucking off his memory to listen.

You see, Shakespeare's work is like TV charity events; they try to say they make a difference when really they're not getting anywhere fast,you're not getting anywhere fast and they're both wallowing in self-indulgence.


Well that was a nice first Blog post...see you next time ;)

OM-ROFLMAO-G!!! A BLOG?!

Yes people of the internet, I have started a blog. around about a million years too late but hey. I know tweeting is all the rage these days but to be honest I'm not a complete bell end so I refuse to join something where I essentially stalk celebrities without any consequences. Sorry but I feel there is more to life than that...like sitting alone in my room venting my feelings onto an internet page that only 3 people will read...one of them me...

But anyway, I hope to regularly use this, that way I wont keep all the aggression inside my head, and I can let it out into t'internet. I plan to talk about issues that I actually care about, aswell as the odd film or game review and even some exclusive looks at any comics I decide to make between now and the time I forget about this page.

So that's that for now, and I'll see you whenever I decide to update it.

Cheerio-
