| REASONS TO BE CHEERFUL 2 June 2011 |
| 1. Keeping it All in the Family The International Federation of Association Football, FIFA aka Financial Incentives for Associates or Fatuous Idiots Form Alliances or Flaming Idiot Forever Anointed is operating like the mafia. Bribes, pay offs, deals. The Swiss don, Sepp Blatter, Bladder, Badder or simply Bad has been re- crowned by his ‘colleagues’ - soldatii - to remain the head of the organisation for another 4 years adding to the 13 he has already served. He was the only candidate. More about Fifa and Sepp Blatter 2. A Twit Tweeting “This is my first tweet!” Well, strike up the band. But please, not that band. In one day, Gwyneth Paltrow has almost 700,000 followers. Now that is truly pathetic. Dimmer than an energy-saving light bulb, what could she possibly have to say she hasn’t already boring us into a comatose state? “This is my second tweet!” “This is my third tweet.” “Look at me, I’m tweeting!” More about Gwyneth Paltrow |
