The UK smoking ban is bollocks... and not just on principle.

When other countries have decided to institute a 'smoking ban', things have been planned out. Places had time to chose, arrange and more importantly heat their smoking areas. The idea of smoking outside isn't bad when accompanied with heating and a proper place to stand or sit, indeed, the whole concept of a "smoking ban" almost works on those terms - if it has to happen at all.

Dublin is a great example of somewhere the smoking ban has kinda worked. Well done Dublin.

England as a whole however, has failed. The ban swept in, threw smokers outside and basically forgot about them. Pubs had no time or inclination to actually get their acts together with outdoor provisions for their smoking patrons; the whole thing is a badly planned poorly executed mess - which reduces smokers to second class citizens in a public sense.

And now as we head into the dead of winter. I am cold, often wet and repeatedly ill as a direct result of it.

"Don't have a cig then, if it's too cold!" the idiots suggest.

Fuck you. Just fuck you.

Chris Rock totally has a point.

Yo, Spice Girls, ever get the impression no one gives a fuck?

Seriously. Give it up. Your "come back" is the most depressing thing I've ever had the displeasure of witnessing. And yeah, congratulations on your attempted hijacking of the BBC Children In Need Event on Friday the 16th of November. When I could bare to watch no longer, they had made 10 Million pounds for the entire event...

How much did you four assholes, in particular Victoria Beckham make last year?

Why not give whatever you don't need, for just one year, you'd probably quadruple what the event made. Hypocritical sad old wankers.

Just, give it up. Please.

I have had it with Firefox.

I remember the concept of "taking back the web" - I remember the spin. I remember how Firefox grew from a good idea to a feasible market force, and I remember how almost the instant it was credible as an alternative to Internet Explorer, the most ill conceived bit of software in history, things started to go wrong.

As an aside regarding Internet Explorer, who on Earth thought it a good idea to integrate something net-facing into the guts of an operating system ? Did no one see the problem with that particular concept coming a mile off, even if they were perhaps not so apparent in the early days? Come on people, seriously. Although that was from the company who's CEO claimed that 64kb would be enough for anyone... Go figure.

Back to Mozilla's claim to fame, Firefox. As the software became more popular the development team did not react well to on mass criticism - it is tough to deal with, but slagging off frustrated users and claiming problems are features was never the way to go. I got slightly worried at this point - but Firefox was fast, reliable, and best of all not Microsoft Internet Explorer. So I continued to use it.

More serious bugs started to appear as time dragged on, bugs that came not from Firefox but from the antiquated framework Gecko, the guts of all things browser and Mozilla, started to rear their ugly heads. Such things were exploited. The adage, and for a long time battle cry of Internet Explorer fans, all 5 of them, that the only reason Firefox was so secure was because less people were using it and thus less malicious users were targeting it began to prove itself as 100% true.

In retrospect I should have stopped using Firefox the moment I read that malicious code on a site could read and print your password list. I didn't. I just stopped saving passwords in Firefox. Why should I have to do that in software that was supposedly designed, and built it's reputation on being apparently 'secure'.

So with Firefox today, what do we actually have? A bloated mess of a browser, just as or almost as insecure as MSIE, plagued by constant updates, I got 3 in one week recentlywhile I was busy working in the browser, which bugged me you know? Yeah it's for 'my own good' they patch a bug, but still, It annoyed me - even before the crux of the matter that was pissing me off. But the real problem with all these updates, in a word or two; weird bugs. That's the problem.

Recently, every time firefox and the invaluable "no script" plugin updated; it lost not only all my noscript settings (ie. which sites I trust etc) but all my Firefox settings too. First time it happened I thought it'd be a one off problem, I let it go. This happened about 5 times; I was too busy to work out what the problem was, even if it was my own, although I frankly don't see what I could have done to have cause such an issue - I am free from 'bad'ware in all it's forms.

Today - it did Firefox did that twice. During the same session. That was it. Today Firefox pushed me to the end of my tether, I am now typing this on Opera. I'd feel ashamed if I had a fucking choice what so ever.

Yes, before the trolls pipe up, this is another rant. But seriously, Firefox, Mozilla... I think somewhere along the line you've either;

a) realised why Explorer had such a hard deal (other than it was part of the OS which was always a bloody stupid idea).

or

b) completely forgotten why you started to create Firefox in the first place.

Either way, you just lost one convert.

I am sure you've lost more.

And I am completely convinced you will lose even more as time goes on.

Oh internets, how the mighty come and go...

Still Alive!

Don't fear folks, I am still alive, just really busy with work. Watch this space.

Somegems from the site...

Predator 2

Predator 2: Danny Glover is too old for this shit. He's a cop and he's pissed off, drug dealers have taken over the city and everyone is wondering why the National Guard haven't been called in; except the Predator, who despite being a pussy who will ultimately get smacked up by a fat Danny Glover, is wandering around randomly owning drug gangs. Glover chases the Predator and fights it in it's ship - once defeated a load of other Predators decloak and hand Glover a pistol from 1700 or there abouts. WOW THEY HAVE BEEN COMING HERE FOR THAT LONG - was the intended croud pop. In fact, no one much cared.

Grindhouse: Deathproof

Grindhouse: Deathproof - Two and a half hours of talking with two car crashes followed by Kurt Russel getting the piss kicked out of him by three chicks. Awesome.

Fire In The Sky

Fire In The Sky - Apparently "True Story" about a hick who gets his ass abducted by a UFO and is violently probed. His friends are accused of his murder while he is gone, but no one is really ever interested in that side plot. Some of the probing is quite grusome.

And those were just off the front page. As I said check it out - http://movieplots.pcriot.com.
