Queen or no Queen? That is the question!

As we move from shakespeare's eloquent use of the english language into the modern era of txt spk, times have definitely changed. The pen is no longer mightier than the sword. The pen is, in fact, no mightier than a 9 year old chav hiding behind a twitter username. In modern times where Posh and Becks are seen as royalty, what place does the once revered and much respected queen have. Our queenie may be one of the most powerful women ever to grace the earth, but has her appeal worn off, much like the novelty of birthdays for the over 30s.

There are two sides to every argument: So what that she wears an elaborate object on her head...so do Jedward. There are in fact a huge amount of people around the country that despise the queen and everything she stands for...again, just like Jedward. As we approach the Queen's Diamond Jubilee, a 60 year reign dating back to the days before Simon Cowell and his unwanted opinions, commemorated by a logo more accustomed to CBeebies, it is time to reflect on what she has achieved:

• There is a bridge named after her
• There is a boat named after her
• She's got a very recognisable wave
• She introduced us to Pippa Middleton's bum

Reason enough to keep an unelected monarch in a mansion with more toilets than Homebase? That's not down to us to decide. Or is it?! If Simon Cowell had his way, we would all be looking forward to the upcoming series of "The Throne Factor" and he'd be pulling his trousers ever higher to prevent his pockets full of gold ever falling below his belly button!

Insults, Broken Toes and Old People

Have you ever been in the middle of an argument, doing your best to verbally rape your enemy into submission, but instead find yourself metaphorically fumbling around to get your cock out and getting your foreskin caught in your zip? In hindsight, once the heat of the moment has passed and you've managed to prise the tip of your penis from your trouser fastener, you come up with the perfect insult, but it's too late. The moment has passed and the argument has been lost. Malcolm Tucker from BBC comedy In The Loop (a spin off from the TV series, The Thick Of It) has never had such problems. Read and learn:

"You get sarcastic with me again and I will stuff so much cotton wool down your fucking throat it'll come out your arse like the tail on a Playboy bunny"

"Within your 'purview'? Where do you think you are, some fucking regency costume drama? This is a government department, not some fucking Jane fucking Austen novel! Allow me to pop a jaunty little bonnet on your purview and ram it up your shitter with a lubricated horse cock!"

If everyone in the world could argue with such imagination, the world would be a much better place. I'm sure many of you will have seen the Haye vs Klitschko fight recently, where Haye lost fairly comprehensively but blamed his loss on a broken little toe. Imagine if Klitschko walked up to Haye after he started complaining and said "Christ on a bendy-bus. Don't be such a fucking faff arse", that alone would've been worth the £12.95 that we charged to my friend's dad's Sky Box Office account to watch the fight! It would go down as one of the greatest fights of all time!

A great insult normally involves at least one swear word and whether my nan would approve of all the bad language is another story altogether. My nan shakes her head at the TV every time Cilla Black's face appears, mumbling something about the fact people should not have to see her horrible face and those teeth. She will also tut loudly when she hears the word "fart", so I can't imagine what her reaction would be if someone told her to shove a lubricated horse cock up her shitter. This is the thing with old people, they all moan about the Germans, the amount of foreigners in our country and are generally pretty racist and think this is OK. Yet, if you say the word fart, they look at you as if you're a nazi.


So if you want to get the upper hand in your next verbal battle, I'd highly recommend watching In The Loop. I've attached a video below with Malcolm Tucker in action, it's a must watch.

The Apprentice

It has returned. BAFTA Award winning The Apprentice is back for it's 7th Series and will no doubt be full of more of Britain's idiots attempting to make money. It worries me that the candidates that appear on the show are allegedly among the best business brains in the country, it really does!

The line-up for the show has been announced, but before I go onto the latest bunch of halfwits, it is worth mentioning that this year the candidates are not vying for a job working for Sir Lord Mr Alan Sugar, they are competing to run a business which he will invest £250,000 in. Probably a clever move from the Sugar Monster as I wouldn't want the majority of the candidates on the show anywhere near my business...and I'm unemployed!

To see my take on all the candidates, check out my Apprentice blog @ www.apprentice2011.blogspot.com. DO IT NOW!!
