Nice to be nice... if anything
Captain's log: star date 2008.
It's been another traumatic day for the good citizens of Brand Enterprises as we are all adjusting to this newly imposed regime of niceness. Since his return, Russell has been extraordinarily nice to each and every member of the crew. No tantrums, no bickering, no sackings, no screaming.
There's been some gruelling team-building exercises: line dancing, mandatory smiling and heel clicking seminars have been provided for and now we all have to sing Louis Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World" at the end of each day.
Jokes aside, it was good to celebrate Babs's (Russell's mum) birthday, see Noel showing love to Jay-Z and have Miss Sierra Leone come in to raise awareness for the Great Ormond St Hospital charity.
Anyway I must dash. I've got a "tree hugging" tutorial to attend to!
Shining Bright
As light prevails amongst the shadows,
Shadows will still evade the light,
Sound is crafted through the silence,
Forming laughs for your delights,
Morgan's son,
Purple pill popping until the morning comes,
A finger of "fun" is just enough,
Until the Team-building drawings done,
Exploring plums,
Noel and Lionel are cavorting chums,
Remembering Henry as "The Fonz"
With his flaunted thumbs,
A tale of two Stephens,
One acting, one seeking,
The roots of the truth behind actual events of freedom,
Still dreaming,
Mamusu gives us something to believe in,
So let me just say "Happy Birthday" to Babs,
To see her lil' face beaming!

LIFESTYLE GUIDES OF THE 21ST CENTURY
How do you do? freedom
Feeling trapped?
Are those handcuffs?
Oh no, they?re not mind locked?
???
Freedom, free e dom, fr-eee-dom, FREEDOM! What actually is it? A concept, a reality, a belief, a fiction, a paradox, the meaning of life, the great invention, an unattainable ideal? just for starters. Getting to the bottom of it involves firstly climbing the mountain that it is. Makes you feel like a bookish Bear Grylls.

I wish to complain in the strongest possible terms, that the BBC allowed two talentless, un-funny, mentally ill idiots to embarass themselves, the institution of the BBC, the general public, and in particular Mr Sachs and his family, at the license payer's expense.
I call for the sacking of Mr Ross, Mr Brand, and the entire production team involved in broadcasting this regrettable episode.
Brand's introspective self obsessed rantings have more in common with mental illness than the comic genius of say, Matt Lucas and David Walliams.
Similarly, Ross's obsession with smut and sex comes across as a seedy and pathetic deficiency of personality, unlike the comic genius of Benny Hill, Dick Emery, and Julian Clary for instance.
In short, shock, vibrancy, and controversy, MUST be backed by talent, and mentally sick people should not be allowed to make a spectacle of themselves and embarrass the BBC for public 'entertainment'.
