2008 Review of the Year: October
October was the time that brought about various things in the news which were remarked on a little bit;
The credit crunch was still going on, actually, is it me, or is the whole thing just getting boring? I mean surely there is only so long that all this can keep happening? Well apparently not, and this nugget of life still gives all the bankers in the world brown trousers as they hope mummy doesn’t take their toys away. October was the time we have seen the politicians getting the cheque book out again to bail out more financial f-ups in a vain attempt to get people to start doing the same thing all over again.
The 700 billion dollar pot which was still being decided at the time of writing, as to whether or not to give out, will effectively give over more control of the fund to the US government in terms of assets etc, while safe guarding, err, something.
Europe of course, not to be out done by those pesky yankies, are also trying to conjure up money from thin air. It’s not working because naturally everyone in Europe hates each other, but bless them for trying all the same. And even now more of this practise is going on. Ah who cares any more? At least there has been a massive shift from the charities, as I’ve now not seen anywhere near as many of the lovely red army on the streets.
In the meantime, I’ll be at home, playing with myself in various illegal ways as there is nothing I can actually do about any of this, so as long I get to stuff my face full of dirty meat and cider, as far as the Lord of Leisure would be concerned, it’s all good! Only if our way of life is truly threatened, will we rise up. Right now, it isn’t and remember we’re also British. We don’t even give a hoot if people were burning down our houses, we’d still have a cup of tea and hand them the matches to help.
The rat-faced lying t**t Peter Mandleson was brought back in government office, after our beloved prime minister couldn’t take it anymore and said “I bent over the desk, now take me you manly brute.” Unfortunately I can only think of the undead in this case, simply put, they refuse to stay down, even when they have been killed off more than once for naughty behaviour, just like good old Peter here.
Mind you, this has been more showing up of the whole political system as a whole, forget what you actually did wrong before and how many costly mistakes you make, know the right people and you can do anything you want. The electorate really don’t matter any more except for election time, and who knows when that will be at this rate?
It is hardly surprising nowadays that people have so little faith in what a lot of people are doing who are in power, much in the same vain as above about the whole credit crunch thing. And we return to the present day where MPs expenses are being questioned yet again. Putting your cable on expenses is one thing, but to have dirty sexy videos on there as well? Well I’m tempted to try that with my own expenses too, see how long it is before it’s noticed. Jackie Smith’s got from April last year to now, so I’ll have to top that somehow….maybe by saying it was client “entertaining…” 🙂
Don’t you just love politics when it’s shown up for the overpaid boys and now it seems, girl’s club it actually is?
Remember that great big experiment to find the god thing, where the main scientist thought that if anyone thought the machine would destroy the world, that they were a t**t? I had a massive tirade about the whole business the month before, and hell I remember the feeling I had on the 10th of September as I drove along at half eight in the morning, just wondering if that was the end, and well of course we all know what happened. We had a reprieve from the possible abyss of the black hole, thanks to human engineering failing once again!
Yep, the big round thing broke down, and despite calling out the AA to get towed to the nearest garage, the problem seems to be more profound than they thought, and after all the maintenance etc, I had thought that they would all be bored, and start wondering why men’s testicles look like the creature from the blue lagoon. But alas they’ve spent far too much and bless them for continuing with the white elephant. By all accounts it will be 2010 before the thing is plugged back in at the mains. At least we have another blog posts content tied down already. 🙂
I had also gotten hooked onto Everybody Loves Raymond, the temptress as I recall, as I had 5 seasons worth of DVDs to go through and basically every night after work, after wandering around town for a good while every single night too as it goes, it was hours of pleasure from the family who suffered at the hands of Raymond’s folks. Not very productive as it goes, and does it make me a bad person? Yes. Yes it does.
I do have to also post a link to that one post “Last time on Ooh Sometimes….” just for the montage bit, shame it was only in pictures as I would have loved that scene with Jessica Biel to really be in there. Ah well, a man can dream, and carry on with hope as apparently she’s fallen out with Dustbin Timberwood. She will be mine, oh yes, she will be mine.
And finally Eggmen.co.uk came into being. Gaming website with a purpose with the majority of the fine writings have been by our friend James. I really should do something about that you know. That was really all that was written for the Month of October you know. It was the start of staying away from the keyboard and more on other things about the place. The thing is I have no idea what the hell was going on at that time. Maybe I was drunk the whole time? If anyone can point me in the direction of my memories, I’ll give them a shiny penny. This ends “Octoberfest” on Ooh Sometimes. See you next time!
