Telling it as it is!
Punchy Prescott!
I never thought that I would ever write something positive about John 'Two Jags' Prescott, but after his attack on the protester, all I can say is good luck to him.
After watching the incident in Rhyl in which a protester threw an egg over Mr. Prescott (from different angles) I have came to the following conclusions:
1. He has a great left jab on him! The way he instantly turned and whacked the 'innocent man' was the work of a prize fighter!
2. It's about time that someone stood up to these people that think that because someone is in Power that they won't retaliate.
Mr. Prescott has proven that at least one member of the Labour party is a real fighter.....I hear that the morons from Chumbawumba (who embarrassed him at the Brits a few years ago) are next!
Liverpool do the Treble!
Congratulations to Liverpool who won the Uefa cup in an incredible match against Alaves.
It looks as if Gerard Houllier's seemingly reborn Liverpool are set to become a dominant force in European football after a very barren patch!
A special mention must go out to Gary McAllister who at 36, took the penalty that won the match in added extra time.
It just goes to show that the old timers still have something to offer, and that also goes for the likes of Teddy Sheringham and Stuart Pearce!
Children: 29, Wives: 5, Jobs: 0
If the American wonder why many of us think that their country is full of redneck hicks who marry their cousins (like Cletus the slack jawed yokel of The Simpsons) then Cletus, I mean Tom Green of Utah is why!
Green, who has 29 children and five wives was on trial on four charges of bigamy and welfare fraud in Provo, Utah.
Although the Mormon church banned polygamy in 1890 it seems still to be around in certain parts of America. It's not the fact that this guy has so many children that makes me sick, it's the fact that they all look alike (some are related), and are a lot younger than he is!
The guy is a dirty pervert, simple as that, and his 'wives' have either low self-esteem or no know different!
Duran Duran Reform
On the same day that 80s rockers Duran Duran announce that Warren Cuccurullo (who has been with the group since Notorious) has left to rejoin his pre-Duran group, Original Durans Simon Le Bon and Nick Rhodes announce the reformation of the original Duran Duran line up!
Call me cynical, but did Warren leave or was he pushed?
Duran Duran(who have been without a real hit since 1993's Wedding Album) AKA Nick Rhodes and Simon Le Bon have found a way of cashing in on their status as the Kings of 80s New Romantics and recruited the jobless guitarist (Andy Taylor), Farmer and drummer (Roger Taylor) as well as the actor and last to leave Duran (bass player and hair guru John Taylor).
As an ex-Duranie I wish Duran Duran luck, just remember Warren Cuccurullo WAS the cool one of the group!
R.E.M reveal
In a week in which Michael Stipe came out of the proverbial closet (like we didn't know), R.E.M release what as been heralded as their best album since Automatic for the People!
Not to sound too much like a fan-boy but Reveal is an incredible album and is a must buy for anyone who loves real music!
Reveal IS their most melodic album to date and has two of their best recordings She just wants to be and Beat a Drum. Both of which are very reminiscent of the pre-supergroup R.E.M.
