The GrantGurnhill football, music and mayhem blog

Welcome to the Gardens my avid readers-to-be! 

This is my first blog-post so I hope you enjoy my meanderings through popular culture.

First stop on the news lawn-roller is good-old mind-games expert (NOT) Jose Chelski. Apparently he is looking to sign Falcao, as well as some 40-year-old we've never heard of, and any assorted centre-forwards that may or may not be on the market. Why? Because he says he has 'a team but no strikers'. Confidence-boosting words from the King of Spin. Perhaps he'll send Eto'o and Torrid out on loan - I'm sure Scunthorpe would take them. Let's face it, with those two up front they could cover the wage bill by charging fans for selfies with Sam Slocombe during the game. Maybe he'll look at Pele and Eusebio next - the ones from the middle of last century of course, not the current ones. Although on current league position, maybe Northampton would take them as they are now.

Looking into the fishpond of governmental incompetency shows an interesting claim - apparently the government agency responsible - the D.I.V.S. or whatever acronym works this week - have estimated the cost of each badger culled at £1300. Perhaps if they'd invested that, per household, into flood defences, the south of England wouldn't look like the paddy-fields of Asia and the East. Plus, all the badgers have probably drowned by now, so 'well done Gov!'.

The entertainment tree has thrown forth the juicy fruit that is the end of Piers Organ's career at CNN - the Yanks finally sussed the vacuous falseness of his nauseating soul - one word for that - Hurrah!!!!!

A trawl through the rhododendrons of televisual delight/despair brings forth the blooms of ITV's latest Friday night 9pm offering - Edge of Heaven. Pits of Hell more like. That ITV have stumped up for such caricatured, lowest-comedy-denominator, as funny as having teeth extracted by Freddie Kruger crap, peopled by C-list stars you've seen in that 'ooh, which programme have I seen them in before?' type celebrity niche, is a testament that they a) are out of ideas on how to combat the swathe of stations with their experimental output (some is total crap itself, but at least they're trying original content) b) earning far too much from advertising to know what to do with the cash. Unless of course...perhaps they're actually really clever and have finally caught up with the cultural shift in Britain's weekend partying - Friday night is party night now, so let's spend as little as possible on the cheapest crap going because no-one's gonna see it anyway. Bloody genius!!!! Except that I'm the unlucky sod who lost the remote that day and wanted to watch something whilst I ate my tea - my eyes are still bleeding now, and I got indigestion from scoffing so fast so I could escape the pain of what I was watching. Note to ITV - please save more money and drop this crap - I'm sure you've got repeats in the archives that are far cheaper and more entertaining - like grass-growing footage or the 1920's paint-drying Olympics. Or a blank screen.
