Currently rankling:
1. Innocent are not so innocent after all. For making false claimes about anti-oxidants. I don't care about this, but I do find the whole concept throughly irritating. 'Made with nothing but fruit - or you can tell our mums!'. I hate all this childish familiarity you get with them. How stupid do they think we are that we find this endearing or fun? They should be found guilty of tweeness and hanged by the neck until they are dead. They're like Pret A Manger, with their 'I'm made fresh today' written on its sandwich bags, like your cranberry, maple-cured ham and banana sarnie is a living thing. It's not, it's drowned in the mayo. On their tills there's a small sticker that says: 'If you eat in we have to charge you more. Nightmare!', like they care about you. Who believes this shit? I'm 42. I do like their carrott, orange and mango smoothie though.
2. Kids' TV may disapper completely. I don't understand why this is. Lack of investment? Kids don't watch telly but are out happy slapping or glued to their X-box? I notice the top children's programme is Newsround. So despite the very silly Lizo, all is not lost with the younger generation. They're news junkies, rather than just junkies.
3. A new phone-in scandal, this time on the Jo Whiley Show. Yawn.
4. Another shit Radio Times cover. What are they doing. It's either black or grey backgrounds, with tiny heads lost in the mix or a miniature picture of a star sitting with their legs open. That magazine should really take a long, hard look at itself, rather than trying to show off to the industry how good its contacts are. First rule of magazines: Know your reader.
5. Bono wants to have a 'hovering halo' above his hotel in Dublin. I've been to this hotel and it's no great shakes, much like the man himself. Shouldn't someone silence this pint-sized windbag for good? Nothing he has to say is relevant to my life. Is it to yours.
