MICHAEL BAY CONTINUES TO SH*T ON MY CHILDHOOD

For the longest time, I would blame actors for making shitty movies.  It was their fault that a movie would flop, and it was their fault that they uttered crappy dialogue.  Really, these people should know better.  As though, the actors (especially the A-listers) had full control over the script and where the story was going to go.

Then it dawned on me, because I’m an idiot of epic Continue reading “MICHAEL BAY CONTINUES TO SH*T ON MY CHILDHOOD”

Dubbing Asian television: Iron Chef only please

Return of the Pearl Princess is China’s most highly rated and beloved television series of all time, and in 2013, was dubbed for its American release.

The completed project has not been released.  Personally, I think that it is not the right series to showcase Chinese television to the Western world.

Firstly, Chinese television series are more related to Telenovelas, they are Continue reading “Dubbing Asian television: Iron Chef only please”

Your kids are your responsibility, so, take responsibility.

Your child is your responsibility, stop blaming others for their bad behaviour.

Parenting 101 in the 21st century

I am sick of the growing trend with parents who are insisting that their golden child is perfect and can do no wrong, and it is the teacher’s fault that their grades or personalities are not up to scratch. Continue reading “Your kids are your responsibility, so, take responsibility.”

Public transport is there to be shared, not hogged.  And many of us have been guilty of bad behaviour on public transport at one time or another.  But it is time to amend our ways and start being more considerate.  Here’s a list of the top 5 inconsiderate things that people do on public transport: Continue reading “PUBLIC TRANSPORT SUCKS BECAUSE OF YOU”

I’m just looking!!

IMG_4850Welcome to the most common response I get when I ask a customer how they are going or hello. Rarely do I get an “I’m good thanks” or “I’m well”, it is a cold, blunt often rude line of “I’m just looking” which if you really look at it, it translates to leave me alone.

Keep LEFT unless overtaking!

One direction or wrong direction?
One direction or wrong direction?

I grew up in the country, my family had horses and quite a lot of acreage, and space has never really been a stranger to me. Some people would call me a country boy I, however would not. I was a round peg in a square hole. The slow pace is nice, but it’s not for me. I will say though, that people in country towns are nice, polite, and they also understand the mechanics of sidewalk etiquette. The irony being that space is all around them, yet the know how to do the footpath Waltz.  Continue reading “Keep LEFT unless overtaking!”

FIFA: Corruption at its finest

When I grow up, I want to be a member of FIFA.  I want to represent my country and collect as much bribes as possible and live large.  Either that, or go be an official in a developing nation, that works too.  But mostly, I want to be a FIFA official, and collect so much money that my puppy can have luxury penthouse apartments all over the world.  Yay FIFA!

FIFA, the world’s most powerful sporting body, and richest, has made the news recently for all the wrong reasons.  And as a “friend” has pointed out, I have painted this fine group with a single prejudicial brush.  Shame on me.

Meh.  Whatever dude, they’re (the ones who have and will be caught – just to cover my ass) a bunch of corrupt a’holes, who deserve to be investigated.  And it’s all falling apart very quickly since May 2015.

CSI: Cyber… why oh why is it still on?

Patricia Arquette guest starred on an episode of CSI last year which had gotten me exited at the prospect of a new spin off.  Something exciting, it was deep web crime.  It was going to be about busting child pornography rings, human trafficking syndicates, sexual slavery, polish immigration and finding large terrorist encryption files on cat videos on youtube.  You know, the usual high tech stuff.
