Remotely interested...

An excellent post from Stewart. I always enjoy his contributions, particularly when he’s in full ban them and sack them mood, and he certainly doesn’t disappoint with this latest offering.

Having recently wanted Social Media banned, I thought we’d all be moving back to the telly…..but with a lot of what we like to watch on the TV now nominated for a ban, the libraries are going to need to brace themselves for a surge in demand.


1.Jeremy Kyle

A programme that’s very long in the tooth now, and suitable only for broadcast at the time of day when advertisers are well aware that only a low value viewership will be watching. Broadly speaking it’s ChavTV for a Chav audience, and so advertising revenue is limited. Ads for Primark and Werthers Originals, broadcast to an OAP and Unemployed viewership is something ITV will be willing to sacrifice in order to bring this controversy to a quick conclusion.

Particularly if by doing so they are able to keep a far more lucrative programme, that has a much worse record than Kyle, but that delivers the Ad revenue in buckets compared to Kyle.

Kyle to bite the dust in order that Love Island can live.







2.Ed Sheeran

I saw a picture of this bloke and his wife in the newspaper some months back, both of them wearing Ipswich Town shirts. To the best of my knowledge I’ve never heard any music from Sheeran to know whether I think he’s good or bad. Most probably I’ve been in a shop where Sheeran’s music has been played at some time or other, but not knowing what he sounds like, I’ve not recognised it.

Other than the Ipswich Town shirt, the other thing I remember is that he was a ginger. With that in mind, I’m pleased to know that he’s doing well and being successful. It seems that, stemming back to school playground bullying and isolation an inordinate amount of gingers sign up to convert to radical Islam. The ‘Ginger Jihadi’ phenomenon is backed up by statistics. Let’s be thankful Mr.Sheeran didn’t go down that route, even if his singing ability is questionable.







3.Swearing Hammers

Well done to Stewart for taking the trouble to make his views known to the club. You only have to turn on the news to see for yourself that London is a wild and often lawless place, where behavioural standards fall far below what we’re used to in Devon. But even making certain allowances for that, we shouldn’t turn a blind eye and let them continue their descent toward the gutter. How many hundreds of games did Trevor ‘Hadleigh’ Brooking play for that famous club, without a swear word ever passing his lips ? Sir Trevor must have despaired to see West Ham now represented by foul mouthed oafs such as this, if he watched the same programme as Stewart.

However, the ladies team will have a Captain. Should she not have already made representations to the club, conveying the views of the team, and demanding that they move this so called ‘Manager’ ? Perhaps Hammers fans, when they renew their season tickets, will also take the opportunity to make their feelings known to the club. An academy of football, home to the great Ron Greenwood. A reputation to be proud of, built up over many years…..all now under threat due to a tirade of effing and blinding for all to hear on the television. You can do better West Ham.

OK, that was probably an ill choice of words, perhaps I should have said "...his departure was the precursor to...". He had led the club to the verge of League One and yet it was obvious, if not quite a fait accompli, that he would be on his way. This was definitely borne out by the lack of motivation shown by our players in the match against Stevenage. That did it for me, as he moved to a relegated club, presumably for extra money, and was sacked after 8 months. I wouldn't mind betting that he bitterly regretted that decision. As for Frank O'Farrell, he certainly did "further his career" by moving to Leicester City and then Manchester United, and I have never had an issue with him, but Buckle's career hardly took off after his departure, did it?

Jeremy Kyle is providing a service, much like Prostitutes...who I think should be legalized! 

Because this country has been turned into a PC, 'Uman Rights Nanny State, in other words 'A Pile of Puss', shows like Kyles are the only thing that the majority of people in this country now understand! That and Love Island of course, because if the people on the show don't have a brain cell between them...it goes without saying, that the people watching don't need one either!   

I like Ed Sheeren...what's wrong with you people? 

What’s the concern?

There was a point there when it could have been quite serious...but the last bit was brilliant! 

Where would the Oldies be without the youf of today...sitting down instead of hanging on to a pole seemingly!
