I’m currently reading a very interesting book called Tescopoly by Andrew Simms. Pretty much confirms my thinking on supermarkets and the slow creeping way in which they seem to be overtaking the world. Within a mile radius of my house there are two Tescos, two Centras, three Spars, an Aldi, Lidl and three Dunnes Stores.
It looks as though the giant corporation is consuming (in this case, by literally eating them) individuals during its unchecked growth and insatiable hunger (greed). OR it could just be a picture of a giant fat guy stepping on houses. Guess the correct interpretation will depend on whether the reader graduated from College or instead decided to “fix cars” for a living…you know, ’cause cars go “vroom vroom” and stuff…YEA, you’re really GOING places…places where actual successful people bring their cars to get repaired! Oh lower-middle class, how depressing you are.
Also I linked you on Project Julio and I was wondering if you gould give me a shout-out in your “Sites I Like” section…unless of course you don’t like my site, which are ARE welcome to do, though considering I”m an American, I think I’m going fairly well…I also have AIDS. And Cancer. Actually it’s Cancer-AIDS. From birds. First I got Bird-AIDS. Then my Bird-AIDS turned into Bird-AIDS-Cancer. I’m not making much sense, am I? Do I normally? WHO AM I? WHY AM I HERE?…oh right, I’m here to boost your comment box…and to have another window open in order to hide my porn.
I will certainly add your site to the “Sites I Like” section, if you promise me that you never, ever watch a film with Anne Hathaway in it for the rest of your life. Once you promise, I’ll do it.
I accepted the Anne Hathaway challenge years ago. Solved my blood pressure problems. And I don’t break the TV as much any more either.
Wasn’t she decent in “Get Smart”? I haven’t seen it, but Steve Carell was in it, and that Asian dude from Heroes, and, uhm, the Rock…okay, now that I mention it, I think I can promise not to see an Ann Hathaway film for as long as I live. But you must first promise ME that you won’t watch the American sit-com “How I Met your Mother”. It’s just God-Awful.
I quite enjoying fixing my own car and bike. It’s not a profession to look down on by any means. It’s great to fix your own stuff instead of taking it to someone else.
I saw “Get Smart”… she wore nice clothes but she still looked like Mr. Potato Head.
I never said “fixing your own stuff makes you a moron.” What I DID say was “fixing OTHER PEOPLE’S STUFF…for a LIVING…as a ‘career’ SHOULD BE left for knuckleheads.” I apologize if it IS your career, but be honest, if you want anything on your gravestone other than “he fixed my toaster once,” you need another profession. You’ll just be a gear in the machine, a machine which helps the rich get richer, the poor get poorer, and the molested get furtherer molested.
I think Julio makes a good argument about Anne Hathaway. She should indeed be fixing toasters for a living.
