What happened to artists discretion. This world has been taken over by stupid-retentive biscuit brains, who for some reason have edited a song and taken out the word "high"! Yet the dictators have left the word "die" how is "die" less damaging than the world "high" ? Fuck you! I will go listen to the full song else where and not be told how to listen to it!
Probably indicates the band isn't that good / has not much musical merit.... I'm sure a song about getting high / dying wasn't going to get to number 1 anyways!! Crazies. Though, there was the RATM tune
Biscuit brains - boring people who plat it safe,can't think out of the box and are just dry,beige and crumbly like a biscuit!
There's plenty of good music out there though MTV is pretty commercial. Can't think of a decent alternative video tv station mind - I guess it's reflective of it still costing a lot to make a music video.
Let's do our own tv music vid station!
They also cut the word 90 out of doing 90 on the freeway from the Eminem song years ago as it was illegal. But they still showed the Christina Aguliera Dirty video at 8'am when 7 year old kids were watching. These people need shooting.
Try doing a good dead or act of love or just making a friend or stranger smile
We're bombarded with too much sensationalized, morbid negativity in the media about violent crime, rape, paedos etc that it's depressing, amplifies threats to out of proportion levels, makes people overly paranoid, defensive, scared to leave home and gives people a fight or flight attitude where they're on edge and ready to kick off over the slightest thing. There are beautiful things out in the world we should be concentrating on and trying to make the world a better place. I know I watch grim horror but that's fiction. There's still good people out there. Everyone on my friend list are good people, some kinda cunts too lol, but even the cunts are pretty harmless and just don't know any better, deep down they're alright or I would have deleted by now. Anyway I'm rambling. It's nice to see a bit of positive about the human race for once. I know the state of humanity can be depressing and vile sometimes but is it any wonder when bombarded with so much negativity, brainwashing and fear mongering? Rise above it and love each other. Try doing a good dead or act of love or just making a friend or stranger smile.
I wish we could all make a difference. It is not a matter of possibility, it s a matter of choice.
People just love to focus on the negative, I know it's easier said then done, but all they need to do is look around them and open their eyes to how good they have things!
Just so you know you are actually one of my most valued Facebook friends! If you were ever to delete me I'd be gutted. Even my boyfriend knows your name and when we are thinking of watching a movie he has even started to ask me if that Noel guy has done review of it! Thanks for having me on your list

The Secret of Crickley Hall Reviews
Dialogues on "The Secret of Crickley Hall"
Watched that three part, three hour, BBC drama 'The Secret of Crickley Hall', filmed in Manchester and based on a book by James Herbert. It was a nice, spooky old school ghost story set in both modern day and the 1940s. It reminded me of such movies as 'The Orphanage', 'The Awakening' and 'The Woman in Black'. Unfortunately, it wasn't as scary as any of those. However, due to the strength of the story it was much better than 'The Awakening', which I thought was overrated and dull, if not as good as the other two. It was also seriously depressing, and whatever punch it lacked in terms of scares it made up for in terms of sheer sadness and tragedy. It did suffer a little from being televisual and some of the the acting not up to movie level, but as a Manchester based TV drama I'd say it was a resounding success.Really? I'm sorry, but I proper disagree with virtually all of that (except it WAS a lot like the Orphanage and it wasn't remotely scary)
The random cuts between past and present were ridiculous. For the most part it was like two completely unrelated programs had been spliced together. The villagers in the modern day were almost all wearing old fashioned clothing, and the ghosts were sometimes solid, making it incredibly difficult to work out what time period any particular scene was in, and who was dead and who wasn't. The story basically boiled down to: Woman loses kid through her own negligence, gets haunted by ghosts for absolutely no reason, finds out her kid died ages ago for reasons entirely unrelated to the ghosts, gets attacked by an old man for virtually no reason, then watches the ghost kids leave the house even though they died in the house.
Review for BBC Drama The Secret of Crickley Hall
It was very straightforward to follow and the cuts between past and present were all related. The villagers in modern day were all wearing modern clothes. I never had a single issue with not knowing which time it was in; it was obvious.Ghosts don't need a reason to haunt; they haunt because they are ghosts; they do need a reason as to why they're lingering and they had reason. The man attacks for a reason too. The ghosts leave because the lady takes them away like she had always planned to to end their suffering; they'd been waiting for her, but she needed her body to be found first. Most of your criticisms could be aimed at any ghost story really; they don't tend to be that credible because they're ghost stories and not based on anything real.
The thing that bugged me was that she was in denial about her child being dead for the first two episodes, hearing his voice telling her he was alive and such things, found out he had died over the phone, and was like "Noooooooo! Okay, I'm completely over that now." and was quite chipper for the rest of the program, even happily grinning as the ghosts left the house.
Also, a large part (virtually all) of the series revolved around the headmaster abusing a Jewish kid who refused to speak English (or couldn't - I wasn't sure which). This kid, Stefan, was absolutely fine and lived until 2009, yet still appeared to be haunting the house. Or possibly want haunting it, it was impossible to tell who was a ghost and who was just in the past due to the dodgy editing.
None of my family had any idea who the old man who was determined to either have a child or murder one was though, or where he'd got the idea that he had to sacrifice a kid into the well, and this seemed important. Presumably he was one of the kids in the orphanage, but this wasn't remotely clear to any of us, and he didn't seem to have any motive at all (except he was getting whipped by the headmaster when he was in the house, who had no real reason to whip an elderly man. So maybe, rather than a ghost, he was a memory of the abuse the man had received as a child? No, because he also whipped the mother for no reason in an earlier episode.
PETA says Payback Is Hell Go Vegan - And People say these
Dialogues on PETA's Payback Is Hell Go Vegan campaign
Peta really need to get some new advert designers, I mean by focusing on shark attacks it increases public hate towards another animal, when in fact sharks don't instinctually view humans as food, I know this first hand due to I've been free diving with sharks before, anyway...although I do understand the point it is making, a majority of people will just be pissed off by it... I am veggie and have been for a year and a half, I don't think the key is trying to convert people to become veg or vegans, although it is good if they can, its better to actually explain to people why it is beneficial to do so, I mean humans throughout history are true omnivores but in the age we are in today, it isn't needed. I think a key issue that needs to be raised is the fact people are mostly going to continue eating meat, but the way it is done and the sickening numbers of lives that are wasted is unbelievable...we have developed intelligence, a gift from no one knows, we should help and care for the only other life forms known in this whole universe, not keep them in existence to be used as we wish..people think too small scale.
Another thing concerning fur/leather etc. society has built up this barrier to which humans and other animals are completely different, when in reality, we all require oxygen/water and energy, most have organs, blood, bones so on and so forth, but lets say for example you watch Texas chainsaw massacre, a film considered one of the most brutal for its time, now its only horrifying for the fact leather face (irony!) kills and wears his victims skin, if you truly look at the sheer reality of life, there is no difference to leather face and fur, same process but a majority of people for some reason believe we are on a plane of higher existence due to self conciousness.. I know this might be a bit odd, but its true.
I think the campaign is awesome! I know most people think PETAs approach is controversial, however I don't think people truly realize how much good PETA has actually done for animal rights and individual animals. They have single handedly stopped universities and companies from continuing with animal testing, they have created and distributed petitions that have resulted in laws being changed...They are doing everything they can to have a voice for abused and tortured animals! I support anyone who has animal well-being as their main goal.
Sharks only kill for survival. Humans kill for any reason at all and sometimes without reason. Many people, organizations and companies, should be aware of sensitivities of other living creatures humans included. An add of this nature should not have been aired as it may end up bringing more bad PR to PETA.

City fans talk about the latest epic failure of Manchester City
Man City fans shared their opinions on the last Champions League game.
Manchester City became the first English team to fail to win a single game in a Champions League group stage, and with just three points, the lowest point total ever from a Premier League team.
Very very bad performance overall from City! No fighting tonight, no win in 6 games - never happened before to an English champion in CL. Unfortunately all excuses, but no taking any sort of responsibility or blame for this disastrous outcome. Doubt Mancini will be good enough: next year it will not get any better, I am afraid
Disgrace result the player does not suit Mancini tactic he really couldn't win the fan heart all over the world. They can just concentrate on back to back premier league wins now, forget this loss, forget all of it and concentrate in the EPL, come on City!!
City fans look who's on the top of the Premier League table! United.
look who's still in champions league? United.
look who's won more CL titles! United!!!!!!!
look who spends so much money but can't even win a game in CL? City
What a shame for us the champions truly speaking we really have to pull our stocks hey. Because if we don't do that will face the same situation in the league.
Mancini should be sacked as the head coach. After a poor and woeful performance he still has excuse to give. For those who said he won us fa cup and premiership, what has he done that no one has done before. Check his record at inter Milan , good show at league level and poor show at Europe. Mancini has turn us to laughing stock and the worst premier league team in champions league. Now we've create history as the only premiership team that came to CL and not winning a single match. Mancini will always have excuse either he says we lack cutting edge or we miss opportunity to score. A failure will always have an excuse to give. My advise to the owner is to get rid of some players if he want good football and a winning team, most especially the strikers and mid field. People like Dzeko, Balotelli, Tevez, Javi Garcia, Lescott and Sinclare. This players lack passion for the game looking at the way they play and we don't have strikers those we have are just camouflage. We and Chelsea are in the same position but we don't know. Am sorry for Manchester City
It is a disgrace. We are the champions of England that have just broken the record for the lowest score by an English team in the group stages ever. I think it is time for pep. I will always love you city. Let's give united a beating.
Exit from Euro is frustrating but lets take the positive our players will get more rest than others and we will win the League!!! lets go City. answer your critics by repeating last years antics in the derby day!

Manchester City Centre Christmas Market
Some guys are unhappy with the Christmas Market in Manchester City Centre.
£5 for a small cup of mulled jizz. There is always a ready supply.Hope that ridiculous price includes cup hire.
5 quid Merry f word Christmas for them then.
Same every year. Ridiculous queues. Overpriced food and drink. Same stalls in the same place selling the same tat. Too packed. I get claustrophobic. Loose my friends. Hoping to avoid it this year. The in laws tend to drag me round though.
FIVE POUNDS!?
I haven't got a price list.. but any time the market is in town.. its pretty much as Zac says .. luckily for me I have no chance of anyone trying to drag me there.. ha
That Neverending Awkward Moment
That awkward moment when the moments ain't awkward and i put on a disguise then maim the person who keeps saying that awkward moment this, this awkward moment that.. then a few days later I visit them in hospital (in the Awk Ward!!) with a nice bunch of grapes and a card with wishes that they get well soon.. but i forget to take off my mask that i wore when i maimed that person.. that would be a bit awkward.
That awkward moment when you reply to an awkward status and don't what to say because it's all just so awkward.
That awkward moment when I realize that I can't type in the dark very wrll so I awkwardly turn my light on.

Someone has broken into my flat and drank my wine!
You just can't trust anyone!
I know, bastards... it would never have happened in our youth. There was no crime or anything...
Haha, yeah, underage drinking in the park? Never!
Carlsberg Special Brew and Thunderbirds... good times :)
Sick times! There are things I think I did, but I'm not sure, and I'm still not sure to this day. Merrydown too! Ohhhh I feel poorly now.... haha.
Oh yeah Merrydown (dry), not merry on the way back up... I have many vague recollections too... and apparently still haven't learn't to behave differently!! :)
Learnt, what's with the stupid apostrophe phone... Gahhhh my blood pressure...
Haha, best way! Without the vomiting of course! Saying that, I was 'very ill' that morning I stayed over at George's's, learning is a hard process when it comes to alcohol!
That's George for you... as I remember he made me drink too much wine as well... Oh well we live and don't learn...
I've learned to lessen the impact (both at the present drinking time and the morning after) by not mixing. I'll never drink wine with beer again!
Oh but that's part of the fun!! I will not drink beer and wine again as I am not allowed to drink beer, however wine and gin is fair game :)
I've never, ever had gin! I'd probably end up blubbing anyway!
I remember Ian's parents ringing me late one night asking if I'd seen him as they were worried about him (hed been drinking all day) we went out in the car to look for him and found him staggering about Norman Way (?) with no idea what was going on, where he was etc. Then his mum asked why he was soaking wet and Ian said "I fell in the dam". As much as I knew he was in trouble, I still laughed. Sorry Ian..
See. I don't remember that! You just made that up didn't you to make me look cool! Haha.

Alcohol does not solve problems but neither does milk
Milk does.. When I am hungry, I like my 100% British whole grain wheat cereal biscuits with semi skimmed organic milk.
OK, so it temporarily fixes hunger but not problems.
Hunger has always been the main problem of mankind :) and milk solves this problem. for example; these traditional old style rice puddings can solve all the problems in the world. if there is a war, just send these.. they will stop fighting at least for 10 mins.
As we have discussed man is the main problem for mankind. No one on this planet needs to be hungry... don't get me started when I am not well.
So why is your fridge full of food? and especially tons of milk? :P because it kills your huger in mornings.
Sshhh... everyone in the world should have that... don't make me sad as well as ill.
Why are you ill?? because not eaten well :)

Green Smoothies
Spinach, romaine lettuce, pear, apple, celery, ginger, lemon juice! All through my (terrifyingly powerful) juicer! A nice big boost of vitamins to start the day, I love a bacon barm as much as the next person but have overindulged a lot recently and my body is craving healthy stuff, it was delicious!
So it was nice? May have to try it! How did it make you feel today? Energized?
It wasn't sweet so some people might not like it, i liked it, i added ginger cos i feel a cold coming on but would maybe be a little less savory without it. And I do love spinach! I felt amazing all morning, flagging a bit now!
I have a green smoothie every morning, spinach, celery, kale, cucumber, pear, pineapple, kiwi, ginger, honey & coconut water. Plenty sweet enough and properly good for you.. I was afraid of the green until I tried it, now I'm hooked. Much more energy than on coffee and super healthy.
The only thing that I struggle with is that it's quite expensive isn't it? Would like to have one every day but used a whole bag of spinach and only got two juices out of it! Where do u get coconut water from?
Its about £2 a day but its worth it, i get coconut water from Tesco. I just smoothie it all up instead of juicing.

Llandudno Beach
Llandudno is one of the most famous holiday towns and seaside resorts in North Wales. Llandudno Beach is not for those crazy surfers or topless bikini babes. It's more a kind of classic walking at dusk or dawn beach. It's a beautiful corner of the country for romantic lovers, newly married couples, reunited friends, families with loads of kids, older people, mature holidayers..
Here a picture of Llandudno Beach. Taken by a good friend of mine in July 2006

Do I love my child less because I am going on a night out with my friends while she is safe with her grandmother?
A mother says "life is for living"
I would like to get something off my chest in the nicest possible way. I have seen lots of posts recently about parents giving up their nights out in exchange for Disney movies and cuddles with their kids etc etc which is fine. If you want to do that and it makes you happy then please crack on.
What I object to is the implication that if you do go out drinking til 4am then that makes you some sort of selfish, horrible parent that doesn't love their child..
Lets get things in perspective. If you are happy to give up your nights out for 18 years until your child is an adult then chances are you weren't that bothered about them in the first place. Secondly, I sometimes go out drinking til 4am maybe once a month and I know other mothers that go the same. Do I love my child less because I am going on a night out with my friends while she is safe with her grandmother? Does she feel neglected? Am I a terrible parent ?
Absolutely 100% no way.. I say life is for living .., teach your child that opportunities must be seized, you should do things and always be with people that make you happy. Be tolerant to others but make the most of your life, live for the moment because it is way too short.
My child is the most important thing in my life but she's not the only thing in it. Go out drinking, go to a festival, get a tattoo, start running, go on the swings in the park when no- ones looking....your kids grow up and leave home.
I don't want to look back when she's gone and think... what happened to my 20's and 30's?' And more importantly ' what happened to me?' Be a parent but always always be yourself ...

I would like to get something off my chest in the nicest possible way. I have seen lots of posts recently about parents giving up their nights out in exchange for Disney movies and cuddles with their kids etc etc which is fine. If you want to do that and it makes you happy then please crack on.
What I object to is the implication that if you do go out drinking til 4am then that makes you some sort of selfish, horrible parent that doesn't love their child..
Lets get things in perspective. If you are happy to give up your nights out for 18 years until your child is an adult then chances are you weren't that bothered about them in the first place.
