Given that it's Friday, here is a little something for the weekend:

I loved this song growing up, from as young as I can remember and it is still a great song, I have it on my phone.

I do love my rock music but I do have to return to rock 'n' roll from time to time.

Stop with the baby tears, if you are old enough to vote then act like a bloody adult...
What in the hell is wrong with people? Is it a sign of age that I am not understanding all the "crying foul" that is going on in the World? It just seems that facts, democracy and common sense are thrown to the wind in the rise of populist social media babies that like nothing better shedding tears and throwing tantrums because things aren't going their way.
It all started with something on Yahoo about someone called Zayne Malik and Gigi Hadid, whoever they are. It was something about a video she made, apparently she was mocking "Asian eyes" and I was curious about the great offence she had caused, had she painted herself yellow and pulled her eyes? No, she held up a Buddha statue that had closed eyes and she actually closed her eyes, mimicking the statue. Jesus Christ, the stupid, insensitive woman closed her damned eyes and offended every Asian person in World. Her boyfriend made some comments defending her and has been called out for supporting racism.
I am beyond speechless...WHAT THE FUCK!!! I was going to abbreviate that but I am too angered by cry babies looking for reasons to be offended. A woman closes her eyes whilst holding a statue of Buddha and is accused of racism. Come, say it with me, loud and proud, WHAT THE FUCK...
A few years ago, we had a complete tosser running this Country, Tony Blair. He was responsible for the death of David Kelly and helped George "Dubuya" Bush wage an illegal and immoral war on Iraq as well as running this Country into a huge amount of debt, sending us into more wars than any other UK leader within living memory, whilst cutting the defence budget at the same time. I detest Tony Blair, I never trusted him and never voted for him but I didn't take to the streets and spend my time crying foul because I didn't get my way. He was the worst possible outcome for this Country and we are still paying the price for his corruption and incompetence but I accept democracy and we don't always get it right but that is the whole point of voting. I will admit that even democracy doesn't always get it right, it is a flawed system and every Country does it differently but we know the flaws of our individual systems and we accept that. If you don't get the result you want, you can't cry foul after the event (unless something illegal happened in the voting process), you know the flaws in your system and you have to accept the results of a democratic election.
I am no fan of Donald Trump but as the democratically elected leader of the US, people need to shut up and move on, the election has been run and he won, it is as simple as that. Why are people protesting an election result? It is absolutely incomprehensible, you lost, it's a life lesson, get over it and get on with living. I appreciate that social media has opened many curtains to many windows, many of them are good, friends, social welfare, charities but it is the advent of of the social cry baby, those that feel that their opinion is worth more than democracy, that is causing the mass stupidity we are seeing in democratic countries, we see it in the UK with Brexit, people can't accept the result and it is normally privileged people with a big platform to air their views, people that belonging to Europe won't affect or younger people that feel they have a right to be heard...as a minority. Minority rule is a dictatorship. To use a phrase stolen from my friend Duncan, people need to HTFU (harden the f**k up).
Stop with the baby tears, if you are old enough to vote then act like a bloody adult and part of that is accepting that life isn't fair and you don't always win.

It's the 6 Nations!
Rugby is an amazing sport and anyone that watches American Football should look it up. No padding and a punch up on the pitch isn't unusual but the ref's understand that tempers are high on the pitch and break the fights up, occasionally with a warning. The refs are treated with respect and their call is final. Sure, like all sports, the rules can be confusing but this is a game of really big hits, lots of blood and passion and they only need one team for defence and offence.
The Six Nations is simply the greatest derby on the planet. England vs Wales, vs Scotland vs Ireland vs France vs Italy to crown the champion. It is exciting, strategic and lucky. The fans don't feel the need to fight each other, they are allowed to drink in the stands and the fans aren't separated, they all sit together, out sing each other and have a great time. The violence is all on the field of play.
I wasn't able to watch last Saturday's matches live so I had to watch them on catchup and it took everything to avoid any headlines, TV, pubs or random talking in London and on the train. So Sunday I watched all 3 matches, 240 minutes of rugby bliss. My heroes of the day were Scotland for beating a great Irish team. Of course I am supporting England and they played enough to get a win over France but it was far from pretty and with Wales this weekend in Cardiff, Wales always raise their game against England and despite Wales not looking anywhere near form, they have such a strong squad, a team capable of pulling off miracles.
My hero of the weekend was the Italian Captain, Sergio Parisse, a proper Captain, he leads by example and is such a great player, it is a real shame that the whole team aren't at his level.
Anyway, just a quick post to let you know how excited I am!

...it's Friday, let's try and get some positivity going...
I had a million things I wanted to say but as I was typing it out, I was boring myself with it. I wanted to point out something about rebelling, something about concerts I've been to and those I am booked to go to and something about running and photography but trust me, it was so boring and uninspired that I wondered what the hell I was doing and suddenly realised I was writing for the sake of getting something written and posted.
But as it's Friday, let's try and get some positivity going, try and get rid of the pessimist in me for a few moments. So, for your listening pleasure, here are some upbeat songs to welcome in the weekend:
