Right, Randy Jackson AKA 'The Dawg' - one of the judges on American Idol.... the guy reminds me of (and no offence meant) my 'eastern' brothers (the Igbos). What can I say.... sitting at home watching said show and what does he have on.... patent shoes in....red.... yup, R-E-D! I wouldn't have passed a comment if it wasn't that it matched Paula's stiletto pair, o and last week he had on a teal... you know (for the colour blind) that oceany-bluey-silver mix of a colour. Anyhoo Randy... you're still my man, with that sexy smile of yours:). O and I'd recommend watching American Idol, if the yanks can do one thing, it's at least sing! Well, at least they are 'better' singers at their auditions than the Brits. O well... let the auditions come to a quick end and roll in Hollywood and 5 minutes of fame for the hopefuls!
Right, what's been happening in the real world... a lot I must say! First up, non-transparency and nepotism. Yes those words, that were previously reserved for the 'dark' continent... never again... let us stand and welcome Mr. Derek Conway, whose use of his parliamentary allowances to employ his sons into a full time job whilst they were in full-time education has caused him to be suspended by his fellow MPs (well at least they voted to suspend him, unlike in another country where a few Ghana-must-go bags of cash would have exchanged hands and the matter would be buried!). Apparently Sir George Young (Chairman of the Commons standards and privileges committee) said the committee was "frankly astonished that after three years and a substantial amount of expenditure there was no independent evidence of his (Freddie Conway's - one of the sons) output or apparently anyone outside the family who had seen him working". Welcome to the world of the 'ghost worker' Sir George! Look on the bright side, at least the boy exists... there are places where some invisible non-existent soul gets paid a load of dosh! All I can say to all this is it's great to know we're not the only villains... 'Nuff said!
And now for the fun bit... McD's you're favourite fast food joint is about to start handing out qualifications - in the equivalent of an A-level in burger bar management. McQualifications they will be called. The Qualifications and Curriculum Authority (in the UK o... we're not talking Antarctica) has approved a pilot "basic shift manager" course, which will train staff in everything they need to run a McDonald's outlet, from marketing to human resources and customer service skills. Come on, don't laugh... the next 'qualification' could be how to run your local chippie.... look at Ian Beale (on Eastenders), he is an 'esteemed' business man, with multiple businesses and property....things to aspire to). Last week, a report revealed that some universities have concerns over diplomas. One would think the Government would be more interested in raising the standard of education than bringing it down further. But I guess as with all politicians, selfishness comes first! What else would you call it? These people (those politician rats) most of whom went to the top universities (of the Oxford Cambridge variety) appear not want the general population (aside from their kids of course) to benefit from the same opportunities they did! Y'all might as well be mini-Mugabes'! When is that man going to croak anyway?
Right, adios for now... battling the flu again... I blame you OMPP!!
La'ers.
