My First Blog (3rd time lucky!)

Hi, I'm Rob and this is my blog. It's my first attempt so apologies if its crap (probably).

The news at the moment is, well, the news. Or more specifically, the News of the World and the whole phone hacking scandal. I know she comes across as slippery vermin, and probably is: and yes she looks like Carrot Top, but I can't help but feel the tiniest bit sorry for Rebekah Brooks. No wait, come back. Hear me out! I don't know how much she actually knows, but it seems like the entire weight of this situation is on her shoulders. Whilst under the surface it may actually be true, on the face of it, It seems that the press have just formed a lynch mob against the first person who might be remotely responsible. She's the editor after all, she should know everything. To an extent, yes. But to a certain extent, no.

If I'm on a job 20 miles away from my supervisor, and I'm putting foundations in for a new wall. It's meant to be a certain depth etc, and contain reinforced steel. I don't put the steel in and only a shallow foundation. Two days later my supervisor comes to see how things are going. On the surface it looks like any other foundation, but only I and my colleague who I've told to keep quiet knows how we really did it. I did this on a lot of jobs and never got caught. If one wall suddenly comes crashing down, and in the resulting investigation its revealed that I did this many times and far more walls were at risk of collapse, the majority of blame would be with me. I did it after all! You COULD argue that as my superior, he should have known what I was doing, but in reality, if he was never told, and never caught me in the act, how is he to blame?
I know this is a slightly obscure example and not particularly parallel with the hacking scandal, but the basic principles are the same.

Anyway, that's my opinion.

In other news, Dizzy Rascal. I hate the guy. His music is total trash. Meaningless, anger inducing shite. I hate the fact that he's had a ton of morally void women launching themselves at him despite looking like an e-fit. I know Im no oil painting but the guy looks like a picasso!

In other other news, Strung Out's new best of album Top Contenders is out now, go buy it!


Thanks for reading my blog. Sorry for wasting your time.

  3. The key to morally void women is to find them before you gain morals yourself and before they gain hard to treat diseases.
