Today's Chip Paper.

Look him up in the dictionary and it says "See 'c***'"


Thank God for The Sun, I say! I mean, without it, who else would be looking out for us and trying to get us the best possible help should we ever need it.

Take young Amy Winehouse, for instance. Now I'm no pharmacological expert, you understand, but I strongly suspect that Ms Winehouse has the teensiest, weensiest
drug habit. I would also hazard a further unprofessional guess that her "habit" has become something of a "problem" of late, what with her mumbling like an idiot at her gig in Birmingham, falling over a couple of times and later cancelling her nationwide tour.

Subsequently, I'm not sure when and it doesn't matter anyway, Ms Winehouse spent some time at home with a "friend", shovelling talcum powder-like substances up her nose and smoking something out of a little pipe/pot while saying that she had also taken a few valium.

Exactly what Amy was smoking I neither know nor care, as long as its prolonged use does not end up killing her, but whatever it was it apparently dulled her senses to such an extent that she did not appear to realise that her "friend" was filming her throughout the entire episode.

Her "friend" then proved his devotion and love by promptly running out and offering the film for sale to our beloved Sun - I wonder what he used his 30 pieces of silver to buy? I simply can't imagine.

The Sun, with great taste and sensitivity, then publicly posted this film for all its picture-looker-atters to tut and snigger over, once they had finished masturbating to the picture of the semi-naked, barely legal girl on Page 3.


A Sun reptile - I think it was a news editor - later belched that the paper had chosen to publish the footage to show the extent of Amy's problems and so encourage people to come forward to give her help. Hmmmm, interesting. I always thought The Sun was a lump of purulent, cancerous, cockroach excrement, written by scum-sucking bits of detritus who were only allowed to use crayons and whose parents had never married. It seems I was wrong. The Sun is, in fact, pulling for each and every one of us and trying its damnedest to look after us all.

Sadly, "editor" of the Bizarre column in the paper, Gordon Smart, appeared to have gone to a different brothel/lap dancing club for the morning's editorial conference. Smart (irony obviously lost on his parents) said: "She has a duty as a role model to thousands of impressionable kids who copy her look and attitude."

Ah! We have a slight difference of opinion. Any other other explanations, perchance?

This, from Sun editor Rebekah Wade, perhaps: "We dun it coz er's got bostin' tits n ers off em"?
Or this from The Dirty Digger himself, proprietor Rupert Murdoch, possibly: "Fuckety, fuck, wank, fuck, fuck, bollocks, tits, fuck...cobber"?
So they want the pondlife which reads The Sun to gawp at Amy Winehouse's apparent "spiral of self destruction" to both help her and at the same time bollock her for setting a bad example to kids, do they? No, not really. They did it to give millions of personality vacuums out there a cheap thrill and to make wads of cash by doing so. That's the sad, disgusting truth.
The Sun does not believe in rubbishing the world and airing EVERYONE'S dirty linen in public, however. For instance, Ms Wade's alleged attack on her husband which saw her hauled away by the filth didn't get quite so much coverage in the paper - none, in fact!

Well, they've certainly alerted some people to Ms Winehouse's apparent problems. The coppers have turned up to look at the video - not that they hadn't already seen it, 99 per cent of them being avid Sun readers. I doubt the Sun will be able to take the chuckle any further, however, as it doesn't actually PROVE anything. It is all circumstantial. Still, the whole episode will no doubt help Ms Winehouse, as The Sun originally said it intended. If she kills herself, however, it will all be our fault.

I have absolutely no idea why it has taken me this long to get round to The Sun. Why they just don't perforate it, put a hole in each square and sell it with a little bit of string is beyond me.
In conclusion, unlike The Sun, I don't want there to be any misunderstanding over my stance so here are a few musings to make things crystal clear:
1. I wouldn't piss on Rebekah Wade is she was on fire.
2. If God was going to give the world an enema he would stick the tube in the Sun's headquarters.
3. I get up earlier each day so I can hate Rupert Murdoch longer.
Clear? Good. Off it, and he, and her, go.

I did a brief stint as a supermarket shelf stacker one summer hols.

My fellow stackers liked nothing better than to sit down with the Sun crossword at break time. They never could complete it.

This is why I do not believe in democracy.

I am completely and fully behind you on this one. I'm sick to death of the crap that is being published about these people.

I'm not taking up for our version of this story, britney spears, but in recent weeks people have begun to postulate that perhaps she is manic depressive or suffering from some other form of mental illness. It's heart breaking to watch all of her problems play out on national t.v., the internet and magazine covers. I mean, here is this person who probably is suffering from some form of mental illness, and there is nothing that can be done about it because she is an adult and not yet technically a danger to herself, and yet her friends and family have to watch her self destructive behavior play out for everyone to watch and disect.

Yeah but I can do most of the crossword now, so don't send that to Grantham please!!!

Reg, for the life of me I can't get 22 Across. The clue is Noddy's best friend (3,4). I've got this so far: B_g E_rs. Any ideas?

I detest rags like this. And I have absolutely NO interest in the "celebs" they write about. Leave 'em alone, already!

The old saw about any publicity being better than none...not anymore!

SHORTS DON'T MATTER! 1. From the greatest programme ever made about association football, Barnstoneworth United FC manager Mr Dainty delivers one of the finest English soliloqiues of all time.......and afterwards, spare a thought for the club steward's wife Vera (YOU ONLY HAVE TO WATCH HALF OF THE CLIP!!).

Not everyone who agonises over their life is a painter. Some of us agonise because we're NOT painters.

....And On the Subject of Great Public Services

I know most of you have heard this marvellous song by those doctors who are the Amateur Transplants......but I think the video is a nice addition. P.S. If there are kids in the room I'd shuffle them out before hitting play.

...There's More

On the subject of those great doctors, here is their version of More Than Words which presents their challenging views on women outside Watford. The very-soon-to-be ex-Mrs Pither, coming from Cumbria, is a huge fan. Again, get those kids out of the room!

Leave Britney Alone, Ok!!!

Oh...........my............God!!!!! My heartfelt thanks go to BGT for this. I won't say much more, I don't need to. Mr Loony of Loonytown, USA (I think it's a bloke, anyway), says it all. I fear he may be wound too tight for.....well.....well for everywhere, really!

I wish I'd sung this! For non-Americans, and with apologies to all the smart arses out there who already knew, the FCC is the Federal Communications Commission and it monitors TV and radio output in the States - a sort of broadcast police - while the EPA is the Yanks' so-called Environmental Protection Agency, a body which does exactly the opposite of what it says on the can. (P.S. We went to the same school, you know? Eric and me, that is, not George, Martha, Dick and Condoleeza and me. I don't think they went to school.) P.P.S. Please see below if you are I Like The View, Malc or Doris.

To Make You Laugh and Cry

I was listening to this on a Sunday, the very-soon-to-be ex-Mrs Pither is a Catholic, Tom Lehrer is one of my all-time heroes and this is one of his best.............no other reasons. On a more sombre note (and with thanks to Fish for coming up with this Woman's-Own-passes-the-time-in-the-dentist's-waiting-room nonsense), why not get a computer to tell you that you are a waste of space and your life is a sham of a mockery of a farce? Ok, it's from one of those poxy dating sites but...go on, take the test. You ain't got much to beat!!

I First Saw This When I Was Little - And Loved It! I Hope That Explains a Few Things

Fuck, Fuckety, Fuck, Fuck, Fuck

It has been pointed out to me that, particularly for one whose profession is supposedly literary, my language is getting worse. My use of the "F" word is, I am told, far too prevalent and hence loses impact. To those who share this view I suggest you watch the following:

Tony Blair Isn't a Burglar - But If He Was.........

In the spirit of Gustav Holst's Jupiter and Manfred Mann's Earth Band, I feel like raising a smile today. The Big Green Thing alerted me to this and, for no other reason than to raise a smile on an otherwise crap Wednesday, I think it has to be shared. Grantham shall not have him - when he gets out of prison.

Life On The Edge - No Net.

I was wrong when I feared it might be a dull weekend, what with my pals being away, my soon-to-be ex-wife in rehab and only the dogs to play with. How wrong can a man be? This much fun must surely be illegal? Just click to see the japes and hoots I am having! Click again to see how things got REALLy exciting! Tomorrow we're going to chase pigeons.
