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 :)

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...

10 Reasons Why I Hate the Tube

My friends and family all know how much I hate travelling by tube in London. It is one of the hardest tasks in our day to day lives and one of the biggest tests you will ever face. If you can survive an entire tube journey with a smile on your face and not one negative thought about where you are and the people around you, then you deserve 3 gold medals. These are the 10 reasons I hate the tube (and there's probably more). 1. When the tube is packed and people tell you to move down. First of all where do you expect me to move to and second why should I move? I'm quite comfortable where I am. If you want to squeeze up in this teeny tiny space your more than welcome to come and try. 2. When you're sitting on one of those fold down chairs and somebody with a back pack or newspaper gets on and stands over you. Dude, why is your bag/newspaper in my face? Take it off and put it on the floor between your legs and stop reading because if this train jerks forward and you fall on me,...

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...
