PJ Harvey, Bjork, Tori Amos

Whilst on the theme of greatness.... felt the urge to gather these up from the web and put them all on this page.




























Almost forgot this one... they all look bored all of a sudden...!

Matt Bellamy and Hilary Woods...

Matt: "Wanna breeed?"
Hilary: "Tempting... but, no."


Muse's Matt Bellamy and Hilary W
oods of JJ72 together on the same picture. There's something I never thought I would see....

It's strange to think that they toured together... back when JJ72 were still active and Muse were at their best - and not yet drowning themselves in their own 'over the top - cheese-ness'...

Matt looks like he's trying to crack onto Hilary, and Hilary is smiling politely back, but actually looks quite scared!

Coxhoe Post Office. Boycott!!!

It's bad enough that you employ miserable battle-axes that never crack a smile. But when I wake up one morning and find that a parcel I sent to Ireland a week previously has been returned back to me with no postage sticker, (which will no doubt cause me issues with ebay feedback) - then return the item to post office explaining the problem with proof of purchase and yet, somehow, apparently, I should have known that the postage would inevitably fall off because I used masking tape to seal the package and not sellotape..... Isn't it funny how you claim to have already known this, and that it was my own fault for not knowing, yet you had no qualms about taking my money and whacking postage on top of something which wouldn't stick properly???

Remember the phrase, "the customer is always right" ??? Well, I declined to repay the cost to re-send the package. Why should I give you more of my money? If losing £1.33 is more valuable to you than custom, then I'll be taking all of mine to Cornforth Post Office from now on...

Ranting online about £1.33? Yes, yes... I know... It's the principle of it though isn't it? Plus, I have no money, so I'm allowed to vent. That is, afterall, why this blog exists.

Disclaimer: In case this gets back to the person who served me... you were in fact nice and not the "battle-axe" I was referring to. You were just taking orders... (ridiculous unfair ones)

Things that I dislike...

Things that I dislike:

#1 The suggestion that a vegetarian diet is unhealthy.

I am not vegetarian actually no. But due to the fact I am not stupid, ignorant or macho-istic - I can in fact see the benefit of a vegetarian diet.

Don't eat flesh from an animal which has lead a malnourished poor conditioned life, pumped up with hormones and all kinds of other crap and then tell me that a diet without meat is unhealthy. Don't make any suggestion of it being 'wimpy' either... If you're a big man who needs his meat to function, and the idea of cavemen 'ug ugging' and carrying their girlfriends around by the hair appeals to you.... all this really tells me is that you're actually quite insecure.

Oh and another thing... I feel so constantly irritated by these people that say... Oh I've got a vegetarian coming round for dinner. What on earth will I make them? Erm... well what if you had a person coming round who didn't like tomatoes, or were allergic to nuts.... exactly how would it be anymore different? I've noticed that only former vegetarians say that every vegetarian meal has to involve cheese, or that they ate the same meals every day for a year.... Seriously, what planet do these people live on?

What planet do the majority of English restaurant owners live on? Why can't they think of anything more imaginative than vegetable lasagne or mushroom stroganoff?
I mean surely it's no different than requesting to opt out of sweetcorn, or onions etc...? Make the thing from scratch. Don't include the meat. Substitute with stock, or something else to bulk the meal out wherever necessary??? What on earth is the big deal???


Lots of love,

Non vegetarian.

27 Club - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

27 Club - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

http://www.forever27.co.uk

So apparently tons of musicians have died at age 27 including Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Kurt Cobain, Jim Morrison and Richey James who went missing never to be found at age 27...

The latest addition to the list being Amy Winehouse.

I find this both creepy and sad. :(

Lots of love,

Rachel (Aged 27 as of writing this...)
