They're Not Our Boobs!!

There's been a big story in the news recently about women who have had PIP breast implants and the fact that these implants have been discovered to be faulty. Well apparently those who have been affected, would like the government to pay for their corrective breast implant surgery.

Errrr.....excuse me? Where exactly is the government going to get this money from to pay for your faulty boobs? The tax payer most likely and I'm sorry but I don't see why WE should pay for YOUR dodgy boobs!! I confess, I have no sympathy - if you couldn't tell already.

If you've had implants for health reasons, that's fine but if you've had a boob job for your own vanity and insecurity issues, it is not our problem when they go wrong and I don't see why the government should have to pay for it. Sort your own boobs out with your own money, you did it before didn't you?

Just had to get that one off my chest :)

Double Standards!!!

Don't you just hate them? Like, people say one thing, either about themselves or a certain situation but it's the total opposite for them, like it's not ok for you but it's all good for them. The term double standard , coined in 1912, refers to any set of principles containing different provisions for one group of people than for another, typically without a good reason for having said difference. A double standard may take the form of an instance in which certain concepts (often, for example, a word, phrase, social norm, or rule) are perceived as acceptable to be applied by one group of people, but are considered unacceptable or taboo when applied by another group . Taken from Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_standard . I've recently been in a situation where a double standard was applied. I didn't even realise it at first and the truth is we are all faced with double standards every day in our lives. For example, people will s...

Rastamouse - is it really irie man?

How many of you have seen the new CBeebies children's programme Rastamouse? It features a Jamaican Rastafarian mouse and his crew of 2 (Scratchy and Zooma) aka The Easy Crew. They solve mysteries in their native Mouseland. Now when I first saw this I thought it was hilarious. Hearing these characters speaking patois on a children's programme was amazing to me and a sign of how far we had come in this country, accepting and promoting diversity. At the same time I knew it would only be a matter of time before the complaints came in. I could just hear hordes of parents saying "but this isn't teaching the children to speak real English", "I don't want my child pretending to be a gangster" (because believe it or not there is a blinged up gangster mouse on the show and he may not be behaving like a gangster but he is dressed as and speaks like one). It may sound like I don't approve of the show, don't get me wrong I actually like it. The thi...

The Acai Berry: Part 2

So as you can imagine I'm expecting some miracle results taking these tablets. Obviously I know the benefits won't be evident straight away; I know the affects of the miracle berry will take time to show themselves but boy I wasn't expecting the results I got within days. They claim that The Acai Berry is supposed to give you glowing skin. Hmmmm.....so why am I getting spots? I know when you're detoxing your body you can expect to get the odd spot or two but considering I drink green or white tea every day, I'm not expecting my detox to be that detoxifying. Am I being naive here? Perhaps. The other side affect I experienced while taken the Berry (not to be confused with the BlackBerry), was constipation. I was a bit apprehensive to actually write about this, I don't think I need to broadcast my toilet habits but if I'm going to journal my progress on this I have to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but (no pun intended). I was in complet...
