This was going to be my Monday Moan for next week, but I just had to get it off my chest..

It’s gotten to the point now that when I open up the monthly magazine from Sky I dread reading it, specially with their blatant self promotion of Sky+ HD, I come on there is only so much people can take!

Here are just a few of the examples:

Watching Lie to Me in high definition on Sky1 HD gives you chance to play detective yourself. With sharper detail, you’ll be able to spot every twitch and flicker of a suspect’s face

Come on you can see that on a normal TV anyway!

Better Betty! – With a sharper detail of high definition you don’t just watch Betty in action, you feel like you’re there. The fashion is more fabulous, the laughs louder, the tragedy more tear-jerking.

Laughs Louder!!! Hmmmm…

And that’s how it goes throughout the magazine every month it’s the same, yes I know they are trying to plug the system, which incidently costs you another £9+ per month, but come on, do we have to have the feeblest of comments.

What next “With Sky+ HD you can feel every fart from a horses arse in glorious HD when vets get their arms stuck up a cows bum!”

Personally I’ve seen Sky HD and though it’s good I wouldn’t sell my granny for it….

So please Sky stop blatantly over plugging it, it’s just so annoying!!!

Now I’ve always been a fan of the TV show Monkey Dust that used to be on BBC Three some years ago with it’s quirky characters and amazing music, this is the show that introduced me to the wonderful musical talents of Goldfrapp and Boards of Canada!

So since having a trusty iPod I’ve been collecting the tracks that have been on the several series that the show ran over and as I type this post I now have 22 tracks, yes that many!

After watching Ashes to Ashes on the BBC last night and been a fan of the previous show Life on Mars, I thought I would post about what decade people preferred. Ok I know it’s a short post but what the heck, I’m just nosey

A lot of people usually say the 80s for their love of music, but what do you prefer the 70s or 80s?

OK, so what could I possible have to moan about with the Golden Globes, well, to put it simple quite a lot

First of all the speeches, I mean come on! Kate Winslett spent three minutes gushing away and saying

“I’m so sorry Anne, Meryl, Kristin – oh God, who’s the other one… Angelina!”

Honestly aren’t they in the business to get these awards and every year the speeches just get longer and longer and longer and… well you get the point!

And then you get prats like Sacha Baron Cohen who was booed after these idiotic words:

“This recession is affecting everyone, even celebrities,” he told the star-studded audience. “Victoria Beckham hasn’t eaten for three weeks. Charlie Sheen has been forced to have sex without paying for it. It’s true.

“And even Madonna has had to get rid of one of her personal assistants. Our thoughts go out to you Guy Ritchie.”

I mean come on it’s not even funny and then there is Ricky Gervais, now I know I’m going to step on a few toes here by saying he’s not even funny (pause for screams of how dare you)

Ricky Gervais did raise a laugh from the audience, in my point of view it was a mercy laugh, for saying,

“I’m not even nominated, which detracts from the credibility of any awards ceremony.”

and referring to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, who vote for the awards, he said:

“That was a waste of a campaign.” and “That’s the last time I have sex with 300 middle-aged journalists. It was horrible.”

Is that funny, I don’t think so.

The award that I really think is deserved, and I know many that will agree and many that won’t, is Heath Ledger for the Posthumous winner of the Best Supporting Actor.

But I suppose at the end of the day, what do these awards prove, well to put it simply that celebrities are there to annoy us (specially Ricky Gervais) and entertain us, this is what the awards do while we are watching or reading about them, so a job well done

Well it was announced earlier tonight that the new Doctor Who will be Matt Smith, who I hear you shout, well let’s see shall we.

Matt Smith is in fact the youngest doctor out of all eleven at the age of 26, but don’t get too excited just yet as we won’t actually see him until Spring 2010, David Tennant still has four hour long specials to complete before handing of the key to the TARDIS!
