Religion as Likened to Football

Posted on March 13th, 2008 in Blogroll by Kevin

I do not care for religion, I have been there and escaped from the other side. Looking at people who do ‘believe’ from the outside in you can compare it to football supporters.

1) You support the same team as your parents do (generally, some people will choose another team just to be difficult)
2) All other teams are inferior
3) You will defend your team to the death
4) You will try and convince those around you they are supporting the wrong team.
5) You can rattle off years of stats and useless information which holds no real value
6) Those who have no interest in football with sit there with a gazed expression as you whittle on about it
7) You hate supporters of the other teams for no real reason other than countless generations hating them before you. 8) If you decide at any point in your life to support another team, your old supporters will look on you as a traitor
9) Violence can break out between the 2 sides over a misunderstanding, leading to out and out war
10) Some people join up only to cause harm to others, and rejoice as their fellow supporters praise them for it.
Thanks

Ubuntu UK Podcast

Posted on March 11th, 2008 in Blogroll by Kevin

Was catching up on my rss feeds while on the train back from work this evening when I noticed a posting from Popey for the first episode of the Ubuntu UK podcast, so I browsed the site to check it out with the intention of listening to it when I got home, but I thought, hey, this is supposed to be ‘the Internet in my pocket’ with iPhone, so let’s see if it can handle streamed content.
The result, I’m listening to the Ubuntu UK podcast, while typing this blog posting from wimbledon train station and everything seems to be working perfectly!
Thanks to Popey and the rest of the team for putting up a low quality version that doesn’t require an edge connection to listen to (as you dont tend to get much of an edge signal while moving on the train)

Driving back from ‘the Trafford shopping centre’ in Manchester. Century FM is on the radio and they are playing that Superman song…. You all know it, the one that goes… Ski, ski Comb the hair Spray Superman!!!
You have all been subjected to Butlins/Pontins by your parents at some time in your life. I hope you all enjoy the memories this brings back as much as me!
