Amongst other things today, NASA are really getting on my Pecs!

I was in McDonalds the other day listening to the annoying bint in the queue behind me ramble on. Half listening, half trying to work out how to drown her I suddently latched onto something she said that actually made me want to slap her in the face.

“I’m fat because I have a hormonal problem and there is nothing the doctors can do”.

Annoying bint, you’re fat because you eat too much!

As a fat person, I really get annoyed when obviously fat people try and hide the fact they are fat. Retaining water, hormonal, big boned… basic biology people, you stick too much crap in your cake hole, you don’t exercise enough to shift it, your body stores it away. You have two options, stop eating crap, or deal with it!

Another really annoying thing is when non-fat people are to ashamed to say “fat”, instead, they go down the “Heavy set”, “big boned”, “chunky”, “gravity challenged”, “outdoorsy” route in case they offend the fat person they are talking about. It’s not politically correct, its stupidity!

Obesity is an interesting phenomenon. Obesity is leading causes of death in the western world, and affects some 25% of the population in the UK, and along with other social diseases like smoking and drinking causes the British tax payers billions per year to treat on the NHS. How long can it last. With the recent buckling of final salary pensions and the government putting pension concerns on the individual, will the NHS be next. As a Brit, I am proud of our free for all health service. O.k. it’s not as good as it used to be but lets face it, immigration and idiots have put a real strain on the country as a whole over the last few years, not just the health service… I’d start going private if I were you

Oh, and according to the World Health Organisation, I am “Super Obese” yay. Of course this is mostly because I am big boned!

The Doctor says yes!!!

So, following in the footsteps of films like the Silence of the Lambs and Star Wars, Star Trek has come up with a prequel, well actually a middle-quel given the “Enterprise” spin-off series, but let’s not get trek-nical so early

So as a movie it actually stand up on it’s own. If you do follow the chronicles of James Tiberius Kirk then you will pick up on the funnier bits from the series, for example the guy in the red uniform the goes down to the planet and always gets killed.

Followers of the rest of the genre are not left out either, everyone on the bridge waits for the captain to get the mission underway with his special ‘word’ to the pilot.

Since you may already know the original series bridge line-up, the writers have cunningly tried to use a time paradox to mix it up a bit. If you’re scratching your head a bit don’t worry, I don’t think it really added to the plot much but basically it means that an enemy from the future comes back at the beginning of the filmand the rest of the film is actually running in an alternate reality… See, still none the wiser and it really doesn’t matter.

The effects are pretty good. There is a lot of camera movement to emphasize things, so if you’re sensitive about such things then this may not be your cupcake Simon Pegg’s accent is disappointing and from completely the wrong side of the country, but he still adds some really good comic effect. There are also strong performances from the rest of the main cast and even future spock’s cameo wasn’t all that bad although Leonard Nimoy is actually 129 years old in real life so be warned!

So, the bad? Well films around time travel bother me, but this one isn’t so bad. Simon Pegg’s accent bothered me. The fast movement can be a pain on the big screen.

And the good? Well let’s face it if that’s all I have to moan about then do you need to ask? It is a good space action movie that stands on it’s own but is enhanced with exposure to the genre.

I’d recommend you go see this at the cinema, or buy a big TV - if you don’t have one already - to watch it on when it gets to DVD.

Hell no. Red Bull is the salad of the drink world… well, the sugar free one contains artifical sweetener, so maybe not that one

Are the Google Street View cars erroding the moral fabric of the Empire?

I’m pretty sure I have commented on this before, but it’s really getting on my pecs again. This whole “invasion of privacy” thing regarding Google Street View.

I really starting to get stuffed off with codes of conduct and political correctness and all that jazz. It’s getting to the point that if you say most of the words in the English language they can be taken out of context and offend someone. Even to the point that you cannot say certain single words or someone who was eavesdropping may be offeded:

Keen to provide the service to  my valued reader I was thinking back to a buddy’s uncle of a friend’s sister of an acquittance of mine.

First of all there what the sickie guy, then the bored bint, and now the woman with a headache…

I am constantly amused by the google street view saga. Villages blockading the roads so the cars can’t go in, people nude in their windows, stoopid road name searches… Another one recently caught my eye.
