god, what drivel...

Picking up the recycling on Tuesday, I happened upon a copy of New! magazine (like Heat, only more so), and on a whim took it back to 'read' over lunch.

What a load of crap. It was mostly about Jordan and Peter Andre, except for the bit about the winner of Big Brother and her breast enlargment, and the section on women I'd never heard of wearing revealing frocks.

People PAY to read that stuff. People email comments in about whether Jordan is a slapper. People CARE!

Frankly, it made me feel better about my tendency to watch Eastenders, at least they occasionally tackle a real life issue.

Step away from the magazine. And try not to think about the people who do read this stuff for real. It will upset you...

 

[Noodley]

People CARE

Apparently you do...

 

[Arch]

Oh, I have no misconceptions about the level some people stoop too. I pick up their rubbish remember. I see their every Lambrini bottle...

I tell myself, it's like archaeology in action. If everyone's rubbish was buried in their garden, in 500 years time a future me would be able to tell you exactly what class they were...

Mind you, the magazine was from a round that's mostly broadsheets and champagne....

 

[Chuffy]

I'd love to see a Heat style magazine based on Cycle Chat.

What's the score then..you know................. so what's said......................

...or whether they have any at all.

I'm sure it keeps the staff amused in their breaks.

No you wouldn't.

 

[Chuffy]

No you wouldn't.

I sense a most entertaining scrap. £10 on the feisty haired archaeologist.

Go on then. Feisty haired archaeologist v grumpy unwell Scottish git who will be firing the plumber in the morning as he's a ****wit. I'll be picturing the archaeologist as a type of plumber...

I sometimes read it if there's one lying about the university cafe.

Oi you! I'm getting myself ready for a scrap with a hairy archaeologist plumber...

i absolutely HATE these magazines! People seem to obsess about the issues they cover, Jordan is the worst. She is one of the worst human beings in the public spotlight, every time i see her at the top of the bestsellers list i cringe, she doesn't even write herself. This recent split with her ex is crammed into everyones faces, adverts on TV seem to be on every week, advertising a new "must see' and exclusive interview where she reveals yet more secrets, oh who gives a ****!

sorry to rant...

I just find it utterly baffling. How can anyone give a toss about these nobodies? And for month after month after month. It's just weird.

 

[Noodley]

Do what I do and *chill*. No point worrying about such matters.

I inevitably catch such gossip in the office and catch some of the 'celeb' stories in the media, but it's not worth getting stressed about. Simply smile and think a wonderful thought - you can fly!

But, all classes are affected by it
