In Repsonse to "High Heels Rape Risk For Women"‏ Article

Richard Graham made his view on rape pretty clear in an article published Gloucester's local paper 'The Citizen' and online. I decided to reply to the article to The Citizen and to Richard Graham (sadly) MP.

In regard to Richard Graham’s comments on the 26th January 2013, I found them shocking and to tell a woman how not to get raped is idiotic when whatever you are wearing or how much you have drank doesn’t matter. The issue with rape culture is that we should be teaching in schools and society not to rape rather than how to avoid being raped, so to hear an elected representative of the people say such comments is terrible. The updated article did not help your cause as you continued to stick to your clothes/rape correlation argument, therefore making you look further out of touch. 

If Mr Graham wishes to win re-election in 2015, he should think before he speaks.

I felt it was necessary to reply to his comments due to its controversial and idiotic tone. Although I am not a member of his constituency (thank goodness), it always feels good to call out someone's bullshit. I await a response.

Sod Off NME This Is My Top 10 Nirvana Songs

I was only a few months old at the time of Cobain's death. A time when I didn't recognise the value of distorted guitars blended with thumping drums and gentle bass lines but was more concerned about why I couldn't control my bowel movements. 18 years later I'm a pledged fan of his work. Nevermind has become my favourite and most treasured album, proudly sitting on my shelf. It's a band I wish I had been alive to experience while they were on the rise because the enthusiasm and excitement that journalists and music figures show when recalling Nirvana (and namely Cobain) connote how great the trio were. I watch shows like Reading '92 and MTV Live and Loud in 1993 in awe. The crowds went completely mad when the band played. I wish I was there experiencing the hysteria and hype surrounding the band.

The band means so much to me and I'm glad I stumbled upon them and given it's the 18th year since Kurt's death, I'm going to post my Top 10 Nirvana songs. Here you go.

1) Heart Shaped Box
2) Come As You Are
3) Smells Like Teen Spirit
4) You Know You're Right
5) The Man Who Sold The World (Live)
6) All Apologies
7) Rape Me
8) Aneurysm
9) Pennyroyal Tea
10) About A Girl

There you go. I didn't place SLTS because while it's an unique and generation defining song, it isn't the band's finest in my view. Commercially popular songs aren't always an artist's best. Heart Shaped Box is my favourite song because it's emotional and touches and smooths me. A lot of their songs do that, but HSB does this the most.

Now make up your own mind.

I have a Youtube.

For random videos click the link below. Will be doing gameplay videos soonish when I've got a capture card and decent microphone. K?

Thierry Henry Apologises For Swearing At Arsenal Fan

Luis Suarez. Hypocrite.

Stumbled upon an old Daily Mail interview from March 2011. Read though it, but then I read this:

"Van Basten taught me a lot about how to play as a forward; about shooting techniques and about things that worked for him. His movement, his technique.

But from all of them I learned about remaining calm on the pitch; when in front of goal and also when being fouled. You have to try not to react; take a step back. I learned to control my attitude more."

From a Youtube search of "Luis Suarez dive".

Interviewer must have forgot to add "said Suarez as he had a large grin on his face" after that quote.

Can't forget the one against Everton either, where he rolled around on the floor as if he had his broken leg until Jack Rodwell was sent off. Probably thinks it's okay to dive because it's a friendly gesture in South America.
