How we all diddling.
Giving its that time of the week, where there is little on the box, and, its not quite bedtime, it time to blog.
The problem with losing weight is that all of the clothes that you selected so carefully and invested your hard earned cash become essentially useless for anything except expensive drawer warmers.
But every cloud has a silver lining as you are aware, this cloud mean restocking the pine wood treasure chest with this years spring summer stuff..wohoo shopping!
So this posts means again your gonna be subjected to my feeble opinion for what looks are gonna be bang tidy during this years beer garden season.
BOYS
Like it or not, things are getting a lot more plain for the fellas, its been coming the past couple of years, and now this spring we're really gonna see plain tshirts, plain patterns all kicked up the arse with new colour jeans, chinos, linens and tailored shorts. The good news about this is generally following periods of plain colour we can expect the return of neon and extreme patterns and accessories next season :)
Here's a few bobs that are worth a purchase to make sure the time you spend supping magners and pimms on rickety wooden benches this years you can still look the dogs...

Girls
With the boys stuff taking a rather more plain look I'm expecting the girls to contrast slightly, so you can ditch the frumpus plain dresses from last year and break out the funky prints. Vintage has never been bigger and stuff with Cath kidson funk all over it is everywhere, so floral prints and flower accs, also cutesy is what the heat generation are into atm.

So never one to shy away from controversy I thought id offer up my thoughts on this weeks current affairs.
What is everyone I know talking about at the moment?
Luis Suarez and Patrice Evra.
The handshake that never happened... Here's my two cents. Wayne Rooney was once on the receiving end of a three game ban for swearing into a camera, the governing body of our national sports deem that being found guilty of racially abusing a fellow professional is 3 times worse than that. What a bunch of spineless f*ckwits.
Everyone constantly bemoans the premiership and its players for being awful role models for our youngsters who grow up idolising them, but when it comes down to it nobody ever steps up and says enough is enough. In my humble opinion footballers deserve every penny they paid, I have no problems with the wages or money in football, as we essentially ask them to give up any comprehension of a regular life in order to entertain us and allow us to gossip and write nastiness about them, what I do have a problem with is allowing what appears to me to be small minded horrible people to reap the rewards of a nurtured talent while not even trying to check their behaviour to a reasonable level.
We'll get to Suarez, but let me just say this here...If you cannot behave like a human being then you DO NOT DESERVE to play football in the best league in the world... Joey Barton put a cigar out in a youth team players eye, what should have happened? Criminal investigation and lifetime ban for criminal behaviour. Marlon King went to prison for 18 months for sexual assault, is there anything worse than that? Result... released early and walked straight into the Coventry squad on 10+ grand a week, what should have happened, lifetime ban from ANY fa regulated competitions. If clubs in Spain or France or Germany want to offer the criminals in the league a contract then bully for them, but I guarantee that if the fa started banning people from being given work permits or allowing them to participate in their competitions then other countries will soon follow suit.
Onto the current climate and the one thing that everyone thought was finally being ushered out of modern football has reared its ugly little face, racism. Suarez' 8 game ban has set a dangerous precedent, the FA has allowed itself to appear sympathetic to the problems of the club and contorted the punishment to suit. Lets not forget it is their panel that has found Luis guilty of racial abuse, but Liverpool payed a lot of money for him, they pay him a lot of money and the fans love him because he scores goals, so 8 games will be it now? If anyone the league feels like voices their disgusting racist opinions they can always say its okay its only 8 games, give them any more and they'll say ' but Suarez only got 8 games.'
Suarez was found guilty of racially abusing Patrice Evra and the last time he played was on boxing day 2011, this should have been the last game he played in British football, if you cant accept and embrace the other cultures that make up the league you play in then what right have you to enjoy its benefits. Just to compound it, its not his first brush with bans, at Ajax he fought with his captain at half time, he bit someone, he gestured f*ck off to fulham fans and at his first world cup he punched a certain goal off his own line to deny Ghana and later claimed the hand of god now belonged to him.
What surprises me is the way the Liverpool fans have got behind him, in a city that is considered to be as diverse and friendly as anywhere else in the UK I struggle to believe that they are still embracing him and arguing his case. Lets just say this, Liverpool fans..It doesn't matter one bit how much you hate Manchester United or how much of a bellend you think Evra is, You are supporting a man who has been found guilty of racism! Why? Because he knocks in a few goals? Have a think about what you're doing. Ajax fans became fed up with him because he is essentially at heart an arsehole, and you will too, you are setting the wrong example for football fans everywhere and you are setting the wrong example for the kids. If he was banned for life Id be happier to explain to a youngster that Suarez whose name you have on the back of your shirt has gone from the club because he is a horrible intolerant person who doesn't deserve the adulation of the fans than I would be to say he's gone to Barca because despite the fact he is a racist he scores lots of goals so they're gonna pay him a fortune to do it for them instead.
So to all football fans... NOW IS THE TIME TO STOP ALLOWING YOUR PLAYERS TO GET AWAY WITH THIS SHIT! ITS NOT THE CLUBS DECISION IT IS YOURS!
With another racism case quickly approaching (JT) I truly hope the fa follow their decision to remove the national armband from him with a national ban and more than an 8 game slap on the wrist.
Kick racism out of football!
and breathe...... heres some pretties
Smell you all next week folks feel free to let me know your opinions.. i listen to them all (lol)
