Thai people are lovely people … warm, caring and loving.

Only they could have a Military Coup where the public run for their cameras [to photograph the nice, smiling soldiers] rather than run for their lives.

If only all ‘battles’ were like this eh!?

Anyway, check these photos out …



Lolita Or Seniorita? [Is Innocence History?]

So last night I was looking at some trashy American tabloid magazine [US Weekly] and saw the above ad.

Does anyone else out there think it’s a bit wrong? 

I mean, she only looks about 13 years old … and the only word on the page is ‘YES’ [which I am presuming is the name of the ‘fashion label’]

Even if the clothing range is aimed at kids, it still doesn’t seem right [that solitary ‘YES’ really bugs me] … so I’d love to hear your views, even if they paint me as some puritantical git living in the 17th century. Or a perv.

You might remember I talked about some of the mad things my lovely other half say’s when she is either [1] just falling to sleep or [2] just waking up.

Well in a possible relationship-killing move, I decided to create a blog just for these sort of comments – now known as ‘Jillyisms’.

So if you fancy having a hand in ruining my wonderful relationship, please click here and check it out.

Oh, for those of you who visit this site but haven’t done your ‘good deed’ for the day, please go and sign the Give-Rob-A-Job petition site.

Given our last online petition got almost 200,000 [and counting] signatures, we’re abit disaapointed that we’ve only got about 60 signatures for Rob so far … and most of them are from the people of cynic.

OK, so he’s no Brad Pitt [is anyone except, errrm, Brad Pitt] so show you have a heart and sign it, because if you don’t, you’re going to end up in hell … hell I tell you!

Celebrity Chain Letter Hating.

After my dear friend Andy, got Jamie Oliver to write a comment on my blog [to supposedly embarrass me’ as I’ve not been his biggest fan over the years], I thought I’d follow it up today, with a letter Billy Connolly wrote spouting about his, ahem ‘love’ of e-chain letters.  Jeez, I’m quickly turning into the ‘Hello Magazine’ of Blogging – gotta put a stop to that! 

Hello, my name is Billy and I suffer from guilt for not forwarding 50 billion fucking chain letters sent to me by people who actually believe if you send them on, a poor six year old girl in Scotland with a breast on her forehead will be able to raise enough money to have it removed before her redneck parents sell her to a travelling freak show. 

And, do you honestly believe that Bill Gates is going to give you, and everyone to whom you send “his” email, $1000?

How stupid are we?

Ooooh, looky here! If I scroll down this page and make a wish, I’ll get laid by a model I just happen to run into the next day!

What a bunch of bullshit. Maybe the evil chain letter leprechauns will come into my house and sodomise me in my sleep for not continuing a chain letter that was started by St Peter in 5AD and brought to this country by midget pilgrim stowaways on the Endeavour. Fuck ‘em!!

If you’re going to forward something, at least send me something mildly amusing. I’ve seen all the “send this to 10 of your closest friends, and this poor, wretched excuse for a human being will somehow receive a  nickel from some omniscient being” forwards about 90 times.  I don’t fucking care.

Show a little intelligence and think about what you’re actually contributing to by sending out these forwards. Chances are, it’s our own unpopularity.

The point being?

If you get some chain letter that’s threatening to leave you shagless or luckless for the rest of your life, delete it.  If it’s funny, send it on. Don’t piss people off by making them feel guilty about a leper in Botswana with no teeth who has been tied to the arse of a dead elephant for 27 years and whose only salvation is the 5 cents per letter he’ll receive if you forward this email.

Now forward this to everyone you know. Otherwise, tomorrow morning your underwear will turn carnivorous and will consume your genitals.

Have a nice day.

Billy Connolly

P.S: Send me 15 quid and then fuck off



The Festive Season Must Be Coming …

After the horrid ads of yesterday, I thought I’d have a ‘happier entry day’ today …

OK, so why am I going on about the Festive Season? 

Well, there’s a good reason … because my Mum got her first Christmas Card yesterday!

September 19th!!!  Mental. 

Even the shops think it’s too early to start flogging Christmas decorations yet!

Talking of completely mental, imagine my surprise when I saw this picture in a local magazine …

Yep, it’s ex-Russian President, Mikhail Gorbochyov – the bloke with the tomato ketchup on his head.

Why am I surprised?

Well, one reason is that he was in a bloody trendy restaurant in bloody untrendy Singapore … however what really shocked me was the restaurant in question is next to my soddin’ home!

Soooooo … I have the headquarters of FASHION TV on one side of my house, a restaurant which attracts ex-political leaders on the other side of my house and BBC World’s Regional office across from my house.

When did I become so trendy, let alone Singapore???? 

It’s a mad, mad World!
