Band names...

What the fuck is wrong with the kids these days? I'm not making this up right, I just saw a poster for a gig by a band called.... wait for it... 'iLikeTrains'. Seriously. That's the best they could come up with? I guess on the positive side pushing it all into one word like that might make it Google friendly (very important these days of course... nobody with a brain would call their band anything normal these days, it took me three months to find the website for a band called 'Pain'!), and maybe starting their name with a small 'i' is a sarcastic comment on the world's obsession with prefixing everything with 'i' ever since the invention and global veneration of the iPod. Or maybe not.

Anyway, curiosity got the better of me so I hereby present to you 'iLikeTrains'. Although it seems that perhaps the pushing it together thing was only on the poster I saw. Unless there's another band with the same name.

Which is not nearly as funny as this one...

The twelve year old mother...

In the papers today there is a story about a twelve year old girl who has given birth, she is the youngest mother in the UK ever apparently. But what caught my eye was the story of the previous youngest mother. Apparently she was thirteen when she gave birth, and her boyfriend (Alfie) was also thirteen. Thing is, it turned out that Alfie wasn't the dad, and he was described as 'distressed' by the results of a DNA test which showed the culprit to be another lad two years his senior.
Now I don't know about you, but it's one thing to learn that at the ripe old age of thirteen you are going to be a father. But it's quite another to discover that your girlfriend is a slut! He should have been jumping for joy, not distressed. Off the hook mate, that's what that is. Off the fucking hook!!!
