Comic Relief Is Coming…

I know this is going to sound really over-negative, but what the hell, here we go: I hate Comic Relief on TV. Notice that I didn’t say “I hate the charity that is Comic Relief” or “why does Comic Relief bother?” I am a huge fan of people raising money for charity. The bone I have to pick is about how rubbish the TV sometimes is…

Last year was pretty horrible. We had to watch celebrities dress-up in drag and do Cheryl Cole numbers, and we had to watch really hideous comedy that wasn’t at all funny. Oh, and let’s not forget the local news presenters doing stand-up. Never mind died, they needed exorcising after those “performances”…

Honestly, if I had loads of money I would pay them not to put Comic Relief on TV in the way they do. I’d much rather see a load of real actors put on some kind of an obscure funny show. That is their job after all, so why not let them do it and entertain us?

Sorry to sound all moany, but tonight it’s coming to get us again, and there will be no escape from the bad taste! If I had a worldwide roamig sim card rather than a contract phone which I have already expired my minutes on then I would call all my friends to warn them so they don’t end up trapped at home watching it.

I know they raise loads of money through Comic Relief, but imagine how much more they would raise if everyone in the country watched it because it was so much better than it is? Now there’s a thought…

Face It, You’re A Hypocrite

Recently I read a rather interesting article in my local newspaper; it was written by a GP from our local health centre, and he was complaining about the fact that so many people who don’t really need emergency help keep going to A & E. This wasn’t what was really fascinating though. The really fascinating part was the other article he’d written at the back of the newspaper. The fact that that was there only confirmed my suspicions: GPs may be clever and academically gifted, but they aren’t always clever enough to get away with being a massive hypocrite.

In the first article he was complaining about the patients, and in the second article he was moaning about when he was younger and he was looking for jobs. He talked of how he would spend ages looking for Occupational Therapy Jobs and all kinds of other jobs, only to get nowhere. Then he ranted for a few paragraphs too many about how he had been forced to go on benefits, as he could barely afford to go out to nightclubs and spend money on drinks, which was his right, apparently. You can be sure of one thing: I in no way felt sorry for him. Am I the only person who sees something fishy about that?

This, of course, inevitably brings me to GPs’wages and the diabolical state of affairs that has led to them being allowed to grow to massive proportions: you do have to wonder how any GP can have the audacity to discuss money in a newspaper when we’re all too aware of how much they get paid (and that’s aside from their monumental bonuses…).

Something tells me not much is going to change in the future, but who knows, here’s hoping…I changed my broadband today after all.
