you can never beat the bandit.

last night i saw the arctic monkeys, and alex turned pissed me off. he pissed me off at reading too for that matter, but i decided to forgive him. but not this time - this is why.

it's undeniable they are a great band with great music and that alex turner is reasonably attractive (i hope he still is under that unruly mane of matted unkempt locks - it's hard to tell) but he does nothing, absolutely nothing to endear his fans to him. sure he feels "umcomfortable" in the public and media eye, but what do you expect, you're going out with alexa chung and you lead one of the most successful british bands of the current era. when i was in america i was reading nylon and they interviewed him - you could tell that this general "fuck this shit" attitude had come across because the reporter did nothing to make their trendy american readership like him - he came across so badly in this article that i even turned to my mum and said "hey, take a look at this."

i guess what i'm trying to say is that if he continues to get further up his arse with cocky arrogance then he'll manage to alienate a whole army of fans that i'm pretty sure are very devoted and dedicated.

i am also 99.9% sure that the couple standing next to me conceived a child last night, so congratulations nine month in advance. moving on...

i lost a debate to caterham by three points today, which is unlucky but the debates were so close in quality i'm sure it could have swung the other way with another set of judges, even with the same identical speeches. well done to previous croydon girls dan and sam, i still love you!
