The Monday Graudian, My Cats and the G8

Thats right 3 post in one day, Maybe if i get through them all. Firstly quick personal update, got my hair cut today, looks kinda pants, on the upside it will get my mum off my back and nobody in leeds can ridicule it becuase it will have grown out by the time i get there. Sat in my uncle's coffee shop today on the misguided infomation of my mother that if i hang about he might offer me a part time job, its safe to say that this was never going to happen. But somthing good did come of this trip, i had some quite beatiful coffee ( somthing that has eluded me in leeds) and i read quite alot of the monday Graudain. Now for some reason i always seem to read quite a few pages of the Monday edition, maybe becuase im looking for proper news after the poor show of the sunday papers. maybe i like to start the week well informed or more likely there are several articles by funny and good journalist that i read every week. I usaully start with the sport section ( Yes im a jock... i cant help it ... cause im from the ghetto) where on the back page there is the lies damn lies section, which is a seris of stats which are made up but great... i suppose you only find them funny if you like sport... so ill move on. Then there is media which isnt great , but conpared to the rest of the weeks suppilments ( like soceity) is quite enjoyable.. with articles like " Media Giants , as not what facebook can do for you..." parioding JFK's famous state of the union address. but the best of all is Charlie brookers article in G2, which is always and i mean always worth a read , which is hard to say of any print journalist ( polly tonybee is the only other person i would put in the bracket) he does a very amusing take on stuff on tv , much like his tv seris " Charlie brookers screenwipe" on bbc4 look it up on google its great i promise. well yes , i think thats enough Guardian Loving.... more posts later
