Overheard a mum with her two kids choosing a chocolate bar the other day. Mum: "would you like a Kit Kat, Dairy Milk, Wispa or Bueno?". Kid: "What's a wispa". That generation have totally missed out on the wonders of the bubbly aerated Chocolate delight until now. I suppose they had the Aero to fall back on but its just not the same.
Reading through an article in the Sunday Times 'Culture' magazine about the top 100 blogs. One they definitely overlooked was Ricky Gervais www.rickygervais.com, its always funny and he says what he thinks without holding back. Well worth checking out, he updates it most days.
After watching the first two episodes of the second season of 'Mad Men' I can't help but think how do they get any feckin work done at all? They are on the sauce in nearly every scene. Seriously they are borderline alco's the lot of them.
Listened to the Lily Allen album a few times now. Its not a good as most of the reviewers are making out but the opening track 'Everyones At It' is a belter.

Are You Feelin Blooooaaaated?
The Activia ad with Nell Mc Andrew is priceless. I just can't help myself laughing when she says 'bloated'.
Saw Jordan on the cover of OK! magazine with the quote "I found Pete in bed with another woman, she's so plastic". If there ever was a case of the pot calling the kettle African American here it is. This is coming from a woman who has built a career on her surgically enhanced chest.
I see that Lilly Allen is number one in the singles charts, no surprise really when you think that she has been whoring herself to every media outlet around the UK for the last month or so.

In The Headlights
My favourite singer/songwriter/artist at the minute is 'Frightened Rabbit'. Downloaded his album 'The Midnight Organ Fight' earlier in the week. Got into it straight away. Reminded me a little of Damien Rice at first and his voice has similarities to Gary Lightbody from Snow Patrol. Raw and emotional stuff. Worth checking out for sure.

Oxegen Acts and War Child Gig
According to Hotpress.com The Kings of Leon, The Killers and Snow Parol will play this years Oxegen Festival which runs between 10-12 July (Punchestown, Co. Kildare, Ireland). I would imagine that they will each headline a night.
The Killers are also doing a gig with Coldplay on the 18th Feb (same night as Brit Awards) at Shepherds Bush Empire. Its a charity gig in aid of Warchild. They will each play a 45min set.
Everyone loves a freebie and the Doves are giving away a download on their website www.doves.net its a tune called 'jetstream' and will be on the new album 'Kingdom of Rust' due 3rd April.
The new Coldplay video is a bit different. Liking the puppet idea. They are all good likenesses apart from Guy. Doesn't look anything like him. See for yourself...

I Know Local Sport Is Rubbish But.....
On the front page of the local football pullout in the 'Daily Mirror' today a headline reads 'WIN A SKIP FOR YOUR TEAM BY MIDNIGHT TONIGHT'. You can imagine the delight of the amateur league teams all over the land "a skip, just want we need to improve team moral". What could actually be won was a complete team kit. It seems that the person who produced the headline could not decide between kit and strip and so amalgamated the two to form 'skip'.

Andy Pandering
It is amazing how the British press go into overdrive in praise of any homegrown sports man/woman who is half decent. Tim Henman being the prime example. The massive hype surrounding Andy Murray in the lead up to the Australian open was embarrasing. He was knocked out today by the way. Saw a little bit of one of his earlier games on the BBC and the commentators kept droning on about his physique. He's a feckin athlete, hardly surprising that he is in shape. Murray is better now than Henman ever was but I think it would help if the media didn't put him on a pedestal.

Hulk green with envy
Just saw about 15 min of 'Hogan Knows Best' (basically a reality show about wrestler Hulk Hogan and his family)
Hulk was acting more like a kid than his 14 year old son. Got got very jealous because mini Hulk was spending too much time with a female friend. Hulk Sr's answer to the probem? Get a beautiful model to go for a little trip in a car with jr, hence making the current squeeze jealous.
Hogan Knows Best. I think not.
