"Death might be top. Why shit it?" - Liam Gallagher.

So with the association football season about halfway through, lets revisit my predictions a week before they started in August and illustrate why I am not never have been and never will be a gambler:

FA Premier League champions: Manchester United. (Current placing: 2nd)
FA Cup winners: Liverpool. (Not played in cup yet but still unlikely).
Carling Cup winners: Arsenal. (Knocked out in quarter-finals).
Championship winners: Ipswich Town. (Current placing: 21st out of 24).
League One winners: Leyton Orient. (Current placing: 20th out of 24).
League Two winners: Bradford City. (Current placing: 14th out of 24).

Champions' League winners: Inter Milan. (Play Chelsea in quarter-finals in February).

Think about this before you listen to any whacko telling you the Mayans said that the world will end in 2012 just as Nosradamus told him we'd be dead in 1999!

Peace be upon you,

1. Drink screwdrivers from a sports bottle (so I can lay down, of course)
2. Avoid family because they've pissed me off
3. Make sure I have a hangover tomorrow since I'll be by myself, anyway
4. Work on not continuing my Christmas curse this year
5. Talk to my best friend and try to make him feel better.
6. Finish the BL Limes, Jose Cuervo, and Smirnoff Vodka left in the fridge by myself
7. Try not to cry more
8. Enjoy the gifts I gave myself this year
9. Cuddle up with the blanket my best friend gave me
10. Listen to shitty music from my teenhood.

"I am against religion because it teaches us to be satisfied with not understanding the world". - Richard Dawkins.

Yay!! So Rage Against The Machine beat Simon Cowell's fuckwaful X Factor single to number one! Power to the people!! What a wonderful country. It feels like the start of some kind of fightback against manufactured pop. I mean the four finalists actually record the single then the winner releases it. How fake can you get?

Punk didn't happen like that. Or grunge. Or hip-hop. Or Madchester. Any significant musical movement in history was not created by a TV show. They may have given it airtime but the scene itself was years in the making, years of little money but great enthusiasm for what they were doing.

This year has been a good one for internet campaigning, who can forget the summer's 'We Love the NHS' spectacular when the whole nation erupted in support of our health service in the face of right-wing lies and provocation? The power of the web and networking sites is coming into its own as a force for good and as a way for the majority to be heard.

RATM's stunning victory has proved once and for all that though you may have a ratings-winner on the TV, when people have had enough they have had enough. Even people who hated the song still downloaded it because they were sick of the Cowell dominance of the charts. I'd like to see more of this the next time one of his pop gonks tries to turn the charts into a cakewalk. But until then lets revel in the moment!

Peace be upon you,
