It amazes me how many people who work in construction and similar fields don’t use the proper fall protection equipment - this stuff saves lives! One of my favourite trash TV shows is ‘The worlds most amazing videos’ but it’d be nothing without these idiots who do stupid things without the necessary safety stuff! There are some lunatics in this world hey?

I had to take a course in safety for my job once and it included 2 hours on
industrial safety supplies ! Ugh, I know that it is important — very important — but it was so boring, I had to fight with myself to keep awake and make sure I was paying absolute attention at all times.

I am glad my ‘learning’ days are over to be honest, I was never great with classes!

When I win the lottery and move into my dream house, it is going to have a swimming pool, a snooker room for the fiance, a gym and a home theater so that I can sit and watch all my favourite reality shows on the big screen. It will have swanky decor, drinks and popcorn machines and the most comfortable home theater seating money can buy.

Now I just need to start buying lottery tickets, heehee.

What a let down they were, you can usually rely on the Christmas soaps to provide some decent viewing…but what did we get this year?

Victoria falls through some ice. Maria throws some paint on Tonys car. Susie leaves the square.

Big whoop.

I suppose the ‘Sean is not the daddy’ storyline was OK but how predictable, Sean wakes up and announces he’s so happy and it’s going to be the best Christmas ever and you know it’s all about to go Pete Tong.

Stupidest moments? Sean randomly asking Jack if he is the daddy, because he just happened to be there at that point…and what do you know, Jack is the daddy and Sean works this out from his reaction. Duurrrr.

Also the fact that five people were quite happy to be running around and jumping on the frozen lake in Emmerdale, but then suddenly when Victoria threw the necklace on it everyone was freaking out and calling her an idiot and crawling along the ice to try and get it back!

Over all the Christmas soaps this year only score a 5/10!

I was looking at tv stands the other day because I just got a new TV, I say new…it’s actually a really old hand me down from my parents, but it’s new to me. I have gone from a 15 inch one to a 32 inch one and I definitely need somewhere to put it as it’s currently teetering on something that is really far too small to hold it.

They are rather expensive though, so I am going to keep my eye on the sales and hope I can pick one up real cheap

When did Family Guy become so dismal? It certainly wasn’t recently, but it was only watching tonight’s that I realised just how crap it really has become.

I remember when the humour was clever, genuinely controversial and interesting. Now it’s just repetitive, trying too hard to be controversial and very base. Shame.

You know what the bigger shame is though? I’ll probably continue to watch it, it’s one of my televisual flaws…once I start watching a show I tend to stick with it. Even when I don’t like it any more.

What’s wrong with me?

There’s nothing I like more than a good old sale, I love bargains so much that I even run a bargains blog where I post vouchers and tips.

I always think that the reality tv world is missing a bargain themed reality show, they have every thing else, why not that? I think ‘Bargain Crazy’ would be a great name for it!

Most seasons of The Apprentice have a challenge that involves the teams getting the best prices on several items, that’s always my favourite challenge

Neighbours was cracking me up last week. Along with an updated title sequence that gives away several future story lines (You put Toadie with Callum and Nicola…we know it doesn’t work out with him and Steph, duh!), we were introduced to a new set — The Gym — nothing funny about that, what is funny is the amount of times it got used.

On Friday Libby was there on three separate occasions in just one episode. Suddenly and inexplicably the students of Erinsborough High have started having their PE classes there. Bridget got a job there, which is a great excuse to have Steve, Miranda and Declan popping along every five minutes and I am sure that Dan actually lives there.

Ok Ok we get that it cost you money to build a new set, but come on now, I am already sick of the sight of it!

You know, if one more person calls Vicky from this seasons Biggest Loser USA ‘The Gameplayer’ I might just go insane.

The host, Bob, the voice over, the other contestants.

That moniker is far too good for her, she has proved on at least two or three occasions now that she is not a good game player, she’s voted to keep in her biggest threat because of blue team/her alliance loyalty. That is not good game playing. In the last episode she all but handed Ed/Heba the win.

Her actions throughout the game are because she’s just a nasty, spiteful person. End of.

I can’t wait for the finale…oh…oh no wait, I am lying about that. Three of the most unlikable contestants in the shows history have made it to the finale — what’s going to be fun about that? I don’t care about their journeys, I don’t cheer for their successes, I don’t want any of them to win the million dollar Jello prize and no amount of attempted redemptive editing is going to change that.

I’d be amazed if the finale few episodes of this season aren’t the lowest rated episodes ever.

I was almost as excited for Britney Spears week on The X Factor as I was for Take That week last week. I love me some Britney. Plus it helps that my favourite Radio 1 DJ has been going on and on and on about it for weeks, I can’t wait to hear what he has to say about it on Monday because to be honest…it was a big let down.

The five remaining contestants just didn’t do her songs justice. I mean Ruth singing ‘I love rock n roll’, is that really a Britney song just because she might have sung it once? No. And she killed it, and I don’t mean killed it in a good way — in her defence I do think there was something a little wrong with the sound tonight because I was having a hard time hearing any of the acts, even when they were clearly belting it out — but at some points I actually thought she’d forgotten the lyrics she was mumbling that much.

JLS doing ‘Hit Me Baby One More Time’, just wrong.

Euoghn singing ‘Sometimes’ was cringe-worthy.

Diana singing ‘I’m Not A Girl, Not Yet A Woman’ was an awful warbly mess, and that’s coming from someone who loves Diana’s usual warbly style.

Alexandra was the only one who did her song choice, ‘Toxic’, any justice at all.

As for the Britster herself, well it was obvious moment after the song started that she was miming — which is understandable giving the song, but the fuss that has been made about her first live UK performance in 4 years, you’d think they’d at least have her actually sing live…and maybe put an ounce of effort into the performance.

Oh well.

Still love me some Britney Spears.
