Pointless Celebrities

I don't get the culture of people who are famous for no apparent talent.  

To me a Celebrity is someone who is famous for having a skill/talent i.e. recognised actor/singer/presenter/explorer/athlete


There seems an influx of all these want to be numpties. So apparently if you shag someone famous and tell the world about it, you are then famous! Right? Not in my eyes.

Another is the reality show people. Take Towie, I did try to watch it but I just thought it was pointless drivel with people who were shockingly stupid. I think this must be an act, there is no way everyone from there can be that thick. Why the hell do people get any pleasure in watching this? Definitely sending out the wrong message to our youngsters. It's almost saying "look kids don't stick in at school because look how dumb these idiots are and they are on TV."

Ok, so these people get offered the opportunity to do a show, get cash. Who can blame them? The problem arises when they are out of the show, they are famous for doing nothing. They want to keep the fame and be classed as a celebrity but have no skills or talent to back it up. We are therefore stuck with them selling any sort of story to the papers and magazines and turning up on every panel show that will have them on to ridicule them.

Convenient Illnesses

Ok this is another thing that sends me off in a tirade.

People on Social Networking sites posting pictures of support those of us who have a silent illness then list a huge list of said illnesses.

One that pops up often is Fibromyalgia. Now I don't know much about it but it seems to be spreading like wildfire.  My knowledge of it is based on what I have found using Google. It seems to be rather difficult to diagnose properly and there is a bit of a general feeling that people can easily be labelled with having it due to the doctor just ticking the check boxes rather than doing proper tests, so basically if you wanted to have it you can just go to the docs and list various symptoms and bam! another sufferer.

I know this seems rather unfair. To be honest I know someone who suffers from it and was diagnosed after months of attending the doctor but this person works in fact runs his own business.  I do know there are some who are faking it just to get out of working (not everyone but I do know this is going on)

Anyway my bug bare isn't actually about this particular illness but more the people I see on facebook who have to constantly post on daily if not hourly about their aches and pains and off days. I have noticed a pattern with a few of these people. They never seem to get struck with any of their symptoms when they have anything arranged EVER. It has almost become a joke in our house as one day they will be "oh my I am so ill I need to stay in my bed" and the next day they are off on a jolly.
Never ever do any of their flare ups or bad days happen when there is a party, concert, day out, night out or holiday.

Now I have no diagnosed designer or convenient illness to render me unfit for work. I do know that when my back throws a wobbler and renders me immobile or I have come down with a  migraine which decides to lurk for 3 days it ain't caring when or where it just attacks.

It bugs the crap out of me. For one they are making a mockery of those people who are actually suffering from these types of illnesses because people like me look and go "wait a minute here" and two do they think everyone is stupid. Stop looking for sympathy because one day you will have something really wrong with you and no one will care. The Boy Who Cried Wolf

FFS Pull your Pants UP !

The culture of wearing your trousers with the crotch down at your knees seems to have hit fever pitch. I have lost count at the amount of times I have seen men/boys waddling about like a duck because their trousers are restricting the normal movement of walking.
Last week I saw a few 20 (ish) year olds mucking around in the shopping centre in mid chase. One of the guys trousers slipped down to his knees. Laugh! I nearly ended myself. At that point I wonder if he though "I really need to pull these up to make life easier and less embarrassing)

It can't be comfortable surely. Why do they need to look like they are wearing a massive saggy nappy full of pooh?
I also don't want to see their under crackers either. Some of these so called followers of fashion pick designer underwear, I really don't care pants are pants! I don't want to see them and I don't want my eyes drawn to them in fear that I see any scad marks or worse.

The one thing that really gets my goat about this silly fashion. If I am behind someone on a busy escalator I don't want to be that close to to their barely covered ass. I don't want to see their under drawers especially  the ones that look as if they have been worn for more than 24 hours.

I had to take a picture below of a mannequin whilst out on a shopping trip. I just couldn't believe that this is really what shops were promoting.

I know myself I am no Stella McCartney when it comes to fashion but for heavens sake! I can't be the only ones that thinks this trend is horrific.

 When this person sits down the belt will cut off circulation to his balls. FACT!

Behind him on an escalator you are going to be eye to eye with his ass hole!
