Anti Arab Sentiment Spreads to our Local Newspapers

Post 911 racism and Islamaphobia in the UK media. This headline I spotted when outside Sainsbury’s in Haringay which is one of Londons most ethnically diverse areas.I am personally not Arabic but lets imagine if we replaced the word Arab with Black, Asian  or Jew (White? Well that doesn’t work as Britain is majority white).  It would not wash so I am left wondering how the Islington Gazette felt readers would find it ok to target the ethnicity of an Arab person in such a way. Can’t help feeling that the Daily Mail has began taking over our local newspapers here in the capital.

Volcano Ashes and a Vegas Weddings

Last week as I worked my backside off to finish up a project I was doing up in Cambridge, a cloud was looming over my exciting plan of action. That plan of action was to jump on a plane to Vancouver. Collect my good friend Rob and go and surprise my oldest friend Siggi who I had managed to convince I was not attending his Las Vegas wedding on Wednesday 21st April. It was the perfect cunning plan. Our mutual friend Lech was going to fly the rings and the suit to Vegas on the Sunday, the fun would begin on Monday when the rest of us all arrived.

As I sat in a shoreditch (London) bar on Wednesday night (14th April) boasting about my trip, a funny thing was happening. A volcano in Iceland decided to erupt. Clouds of ash have gone into UK and EU airspace and planes are not flying all over Europe. The subsequent days as all will now remember, have been utter chaos. No planes have left UK airspace, my flight to Vancouver has been grounded since yesterday morning and classified as delayed so I am in between a rock and a hard place about my plans still. I am now sitting here on Monday 19th April in PM when I should be on a bus on my way to Seattle to catch my Vegas flight to go and suprise Siggi and Emily in time for their wedding :(

Luckily they went out a week earlier so they are out there and can get married and then take their honeymoon and the rest.

Then there is the story of the internal flights issue and the act of God. All insurance companies and the airline industry have suddenly become religious all of a sudden. I have spent a total of 7 hours on hold in the last 48 hours to Expedia who I booked all my internal flights in the states only to be told I am not entitled to cancellations due to the nature of the incident. My travel insurance company simply laughed me off the phone at the idea that they might cover me for such a thing. I mean what is the point of this policy you wonder.

My father, his wife and my little sister are stuck out in Copenhagen and they are unable to get home also with ferrys all booked too. They have been stuck there since Wednesday. So will I make it out to Vancouver and salvage at least the Vancouver and San Fran part of my trip. I am gutted the Vegas part is over, which we all are realising it is now. I know Siggi and Emily will appreciate the effort we all made at least but it would have been nice to be there non the less.

As I have just spent since Sept 09 working I am going to make it out there somehow so I guess I am going to have to wait until the ashes settle rebook and just take the cost on the chin.

The Kanye Footage of the Taylor Swift incident at the VMA 2009

These rap stars really do get above themselves.

What did you think was going to happen here Kanye? The amount of youtube responses is amazing. People are pretty mad. Obama, his own president has called him a Jack ass. Ouch!!

One thing to note here though is how did MTV get the production of this incident so tight. Notice how they cut to Beyonce like its almost scripted. It all seems kind of staged. Well in these situations the key is who stands to benefit, certainly not Kanye thats for sure. It was a stupid stunt but how did MTV get it so right camera wise it all seems so much like TV……

Gordan Ramsey’s F Word – Me as a Tasting Judge

I left an interview in the poring rain yesterday in my effort to regain employment and my good friend Siggi called me up asking me if I wanted to appear as a tasting judge on Gorden Ramsey’s F Word. Since I have been sitting in doors for the last few weeks trying to look busy I thought why not. Kelly Brooke was his guest who was cooking with him. We arrived there today at 11:30 myself and three others were given the task of deciding which of two dishes prepared by Gordan and Kelly tasted better. We were sat around a table with cameras sticking in our faces, it was pretty unnerving.

Gordan made stuffed tomato and Kelly made stuffed pepper both of which were really good, but people voted for the stuffed pepper as it looked a lot more presentable.

We were then asked to give a short speech on why we liked the one we picked. I didn’t screw it up but I realised I am not that great a speaker as I like to think.

I only had my crappy camera phone which proved to be total pants for photos despite the excellent light in the studio. But at least it proves its not a total lie. Look out for me in November sometime on the new series of the F Word (whatever the one is with Kelly Brooke as a guest, I know as much as you to be honest).
