Apple Macs suck

Recently I’ve been having a semi-debate with a friend of my sister’s on Facebook about Apple Macintosh computers.   I followed the debate up by having a laugh at the Get A Mac advertisements on television.   I have to give Apple their dues… those ads are side splittingly hilarious!   So obviously I started to look for anti-Mac ads.   I came across this one…

One of the funnier things are some of the comments on Youtube…

another thing you cant do if you own a mac is shut the fuck up about why your machine is better. it’s actually only a better machine if you’re a hippy making collages of flowers. A friend of mine told me that he’s going to buy a mac and just put vista on it, so he wins twice. except macs are probably more expensive than a custom computer with more power than a mac? can even compute without crashing.

If you’re a damned retard than a mac is for you, because it has all those pretty buttons and ‘easy’ to? use interfaces, but what people don’t realize is that they’re pieces of crap. They freeze up all the time, all they can do is edit photos and videos and they cause a crap load of money. You can get can a normal mac desktop for like $2000 while you can get a decked out pc for like $800-$1000. Overall fuck off macs.

PC= easy? and fun
MAC= hard and ‘fun’ and expensive and slow and crossover and errors and no downloading crap and no damned right clicking and the damned speak function that won’t shut the fuck up and crap and crap and bullcrap and crapty piece of crap and some more crap!

And PCs= simple.

So there I was looking at the Mac Pro. Sure was expensive,? but the site said it was so powerful! Then I realized I was using a PC vastly more powerful than that, and that combined with my printer, scanner, monitor and all other accessories had come out to cost less than half the basic price of the Mac Pro!

That sure is some Apple Tax!

Apple: A tax on the ignorant.

Here’s a funny video entitled ‘Mac morons can’t talk without using their hands’…

Wotever

According to this next news story… smoking costs the NHS more than £5billion a year.   I’ve been saying all along that smokers shouldn’t get free health care.   Let them pay their own damn costs instead of the taxpayer.   Makes me sick that non-smokers should have to pay to help people who voluntarily and willingly ruin their own health!

The Daily Mail reports that Gordon Brown imposed a spending limit in Afghanistan during 2006, which basically restricted the British Army in doing things like fighting, patrols, etc.

Britain Really Does Have Talent

Like holy cow man…   I now wish more than ever that I could get British prime time television here in Canada.   I’ll let the videos speak for themselves…

Important places on Google Maps for me

  • My mother’s last house
  • My last apartment in London
    There were four apartments – mine was the lower right above the garage.   The SMOKING HOT crackhead Lisa lived above me.   The thin side window on the right closest to the edge of the building on my apartment is the window that Lisa’s crackhead buddies crept in and burgled my place.
  • More House
    The place where I spent most of my formative years rebelling against Father McCabe.   The newer buildings in the back didn’t used to be there, and neither did the newer building to the left of the main house.   This is the place where I still have most amount of my happiest memories.   Seeing the house redeveloped like this makes me a little sad for some reason.
  • Crendon Park
    This is the road where all of my worst memories and childhood experiences happened.   In the main group of houses in the centre, on the bottom row… the fourth house from the left is number 8. That is where (to my knowledge still) Myra and Derek Anscombe live.   Without going into too much detail they are my former foster parents who abused me terribly – so badly their son Martin checked himself into a psychiatric unit when he was an adult.   If you view this shot of the football fields near their house… you’ll see a small path going along the right side of it.   That path was paved with sharp stone chips when I was six years old and that path holds very bad memories for me.     In the centre of this image you can view a group of flats (apartments) where I had to go and scrounge food daily from the dumpsters in the concrete parking lot on the lower side of the flats.   Very many bad bad things happened to me there which still have an effect on how I react to various situations nearly twenty-five years later.

Arnold Schwarzenegger

I used to idolise Arnie back when he made movies. Then when I found out his old man was a member of the Nazi Party I disliked him.   I then disliked him even more after he refused clemency for Tookie Williams (who I used to think was innocent of the crimes for which he was being executed).

But since he became Governor of California my admiration for him has shot through the roof.   Contrary to popular opinion he isn’t a muscle-bound meathead but is extremely intelligent. Check out the following Youtube video of him speaking at CSULB:

The thing that’s given me the most admiration for him is his willingness to go against the previous White House adminstration on various issues about greenhouse gas emissions. He’s also converted a Humvee he owns to use Hydrogen which apparently cost him $21,000 for the conversion.

Check out this story about the California Hydrogen Highway Network initiative.

I don’t see many other politicians around the world putting words about the environment into action like Arnie is.

Ultimate Fighter : US vs UK

Everytime I see something on television where the United Kingdom is pitted against the United States of America I get happy – whether our side wins or loses.   But it’s a particular pleasure when our side has more charisma and presence than the Yanks – yes, I’m talking about the Ultimate Fighter : US vs UK.

Back in the U.K I pretty   much hated anyone with a northern accent – but on this show I find myself loving the fact that scouse accents can be heard when those Yank twats are acting like arseholes and drawing on people’s boots.   I LOVE BRITISH ACCENTS!

I’m so used to seeing silly persons on television with North American accents trying to act hard, so it’s definitely awesome to see someone on television from home who is actually hard, and not just acting hard.

An Old Man’s Testicles

I was going to the gym about three weeks ago and one of the regular OAP’s that goes there was in the gym room before me – bare-assed naked.   His balls were hanging down between his legs as he was bent over and they were literally the biggest testicles I’ve ever seen in my life. THEY WERE HUGE!

If you’ve ever seen Jackass where Johnny Knoxville dresses up as an old man, and gets fake ol man balls in his shorts you’ll know what I mean.

Two scenarios ran through my head – either the guy’s got a crapload of kids all over the place, or he doesn’t get off very often.   Any females want to give him a mercy job?

Memories of More House

As I’m slowly getting back into contact with various former residents of More House I figured I would put up some photo galleries, so that people can reminisce about the good old days!

Vancouver

This blog is coming at you from the Pacific Palisades Hotel in downtown Vancouver.   Lorraine was on a business trip and invited me along and so along I flew.  

The mountains are definitely something awe inspiring when you first see them.   Vancouver at night is similar to what I’m sure foreigners feel about London at night, or how I feel about Piccadilly at night.   The fact that there’s a French Connection store here says a lot about the type of city it is.

Also I’ve met a lot of Yanks – all of them have been nice… but no matter where you are, you can always tell an American even when they don’t speak.

I took a walk today whilst Lorraine was in the business meeting and it started raining.   During that walk I bought what I call a ‘Spike’ tshirt.   It’s white with block black letters with a black arrow pointing downwards that says ‘Get It Here’.   If you’ve seen the movie ‘Notting Hill’ you’ll know exactly what I’m talking about.

Reckon  we’re going to hit a casino tonight and check out the aquarium with the whales tomorrow.

Lorraine thinks I’m crazy, but I’m determined to swim in the Pacific Ocean even though it’s probably below freezing temperature!

Wossit mean to be British?

Katherine Whitehorn has written a splendid piece on what it means to be British.   The first part is centred around Britain’s involvement in allowing the Yanks to torture Binyam Mohamed.   Check it out: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/magazine/7955406.stm
