Poor Man About Town

I was listening to LBC and the Tourist Trash Industry and hype around London abounds. I was getting really pissed off with all the bullshit. I check out their web site and found this blurb

"...the world’s top city destination London offers an unrivalled choice of accommodation, attractions, tours, restaurants and events..."

There is something wrong with this statement, visit any major European city and you will find "an unrivalled choice of accommodation, attractions, tours, restaurants and events"

Now let's look at the facts

London's transport system is creaky and inefficient - trains and buses are packed to the capacity that would shame a battery farmer.

Public toilets, virtually don't exist in the capital - I'm afraid you will have to poop your pants or piss yourself before you can find anywhere to fulfull your bodily functions.

The streets are filthy and liberally spattered with dogshit.

So there you have it, London is not cracked out to what this hype makes it.

The liberalisation of taking baby buggies on the buses has gone too far - baby buggies are one thing, but a king-sized doubled bed x 3 is another. Intolerable parents are becoming increasingly tolerable by buying monster prams for their sprogs to take on the bus. The intolerable parent gives you that 'get out the fucking way' kind of look. They have that Bo(z)no kind arrogance that if you do not get out of the fucking way and offer your space to them, you will be wiped off the face of universe. The driver does not care, he will allow around three, sometimes four, of these monstrosities on the bus.

Don't you just hate Rick Stein? - he has this uncanny knack of making food prices rocket. He smugly introduces to notions of rustic poverty with statements akin to this is what poor (pore) people eat - all he has to say is "the pore eat swedes and they are delicious" that the price of swedes zooms up from 15p to £150. He is the Alan Greenspan of food prices. All he has to do is mention a food product and he has all these rich fucks hunting it down and making it completely unaffordable. I guess that Stein could even do that with a tin of spam. Stein is one of those individuals who is ponsifying food and I find him extremely annoying.

I was driving around in my car today - I could smell something quite horrible - it was a come and go kind of smell - was it bad body odour? I showered this morning scrubbed my arse, crotch and feet red raw - deodorised myself so much that I smelt like a Texan cathouse. I became enlightened to what was wrong when someone had pointed out dogshit stains on the stairs - I took a surreptitious look at the soles of my shoes and lo! there it was - Dogshit. Blame the owner not the dog, most dog owners are fairly decent people, they kerb their dogs but there are others who can't be arsed. I ask those fucking idiots "can I come into your home and smear your dog's shit all over your carpet?" Its on my shoe, in my workplace and in my car. So fuck you! I hope a good helping of dogshit comes into your (irresponsible dog owner)home.

Tuned into Nick Ferrari on LBC today and there it was again with the frequency of the Chinese Water Torture - Galliard Homes ads at every single commercial break. If I come into billions of pounds, I would buy Galliard Homes so that I would make the entire company go bust, such are my feelings. By the way, there is no such thing as a home anymore, all this housing boom bullshit has put paid to this notion - suggest that Galliard Homes change its name to Galliard Properties.

I was listening to Nick Ferrari and LBC were playing fucking Galliard Homes ads with gay abandon. The adverts are rendered in shouting form, hectoring one to buy a box that you can buy to let in inner London. Who the fuck is going to rent a box in Inner London? Nick Ferrari topic of discussion was around rehabilitation of criminals, he took the lock em up line throughout the discussion. I got the feeling that his tongue was firmly planted in his cheek when he quoted one e-mail as suggesting that criminals should be locked in a room and played non-stop LBC adverts. If the standard of the Galliard Homes' ads is anything to go by then I think it would be a splendid idea to play them this ouvres, I believe that there will be a significant drop in crime rates were any con threatened with this kind of sentence.
