Charity begins at home?

By Music & Radio, RantsOne Comment

Radio 1 has done my head in this week! To the point were I have actually turned it off. I have felt bombarded in my own car!

Chris Moyles and some other celebs have been climbing Mount. Kilimanjaro for Comic relief and all I’ve heard all week is donate, donate, donate. Calls from the Dj’s inbetween each song, countless adds for it (I mean the BBC is suppose to be an add free service – that’s why we pay our TV licences).

Now there’s two things here:
1. Repeatly been asked to donate (that has triggered this rant)
2. Charity begins at home.

1st – I don’t mind being asked once, twice or even daily. But what seems like 100’s of times in a day? Come on.

2nd – To me charity begins at home. I am broke as are many of my family and friends due to the credit crunch and we are in debt. In fact some of my friend’s are struggling to eat well and also struggling to pay the bills to keep the roof over their heads. So if I had any free cash to give to charity – I would much rather give it to my family or friends to support them in this difficult time.

Is this right? Do you think Charity begins at home?

Take heed Radio 1 you will loose listeners repeatly bombarding us with charity appeals. And I for one will not be tunning in again until comic relief is over.

Rant Over,

Antony

Adobe Flash Error’s

By Rants, Technology, The WebNo Comments

Adobe who has an excellent reputation for making quality software has messed up. Everytime I try to load a page with any sort of flash on (this includes embedded You Tube Video’s) my Windows Internet Explorer crashes.

To be fair to Adobe I don’t know if it’s their issue or Mircosoft’s but they better get it fixed soon! As there are plenty of angry! people like me who can’t surf the web proper until they get it sorted.

Oh an incase Adobe or Mircosoft staff are reading the error is related to the file: Flash10a.ocx . Get it sorted!

Rant over,

Antony

My response: Good. Good. Go for it guy!

Secondly it has inspired my good friend Sye to write a post on his blog entited RE: Motivation.
My response: Get the bloddy worksheet done!

Royal Variety Show 2008, NO longer for the new comers!

By Amazon, Gay, Rants, TV, Online Streaming & FilmsNo Comments

Hi All,

The Royal Variety Show is a British National Insititution. Much like tea or cucumber sandwiches.

Historically it has always been a place for new comers in the music, comedy and theatre fields. Any that appeared on The Royal Variety Show , later went on to be big.

So I have been saving the most recent one for watching on a chill night. Tonight was that night.

I am soo disappointed. No new talent. The performers included Take That, Leona Lewis, Jimmy Carr, Duffy, Peter Kay (as Geraldine McQueen), four west end musicals, too name a few. All big stars who’ve made it.

The exception to this was of course George Samson:

I wish it would go back to giving new comers in the fields a chance.

Ok, rant over. (I feel better now!)

P.S it was made better by John Barrowman performing ‘What about us’ and I particularly loved the gay couple centre stage! See for yourself:
