The Rambling Curl: April 2015

http://theramblingcurl.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html

Wednesday, 29 April 2015. George was a pig. A very greedy pig. George was always hungry. He never joined in with the games the other pigs played, because he was always on the lookout for something tasty to eat. Oh, George, you greedy pig! The others would cry. "Why don't you come and roll in the mud with us? Or play in the pig pen? But George would simply lie in his bed and snooze until it was time for his next meal. And even whilst he snoozed, he dreamt. Troughs for good measure! Did you hear that?

Thursday, 22 January 2015. What The Sun's Apparent U-Turn on Page 3 Says About Their View of Women. And usually someone stereotypically thought of as being of superior intelligence - the joke being that the women with their boobs out were there for titillation (pun intended; I love a good pun) and were certainly not being celebrated for their brains, Although News In Briefs.

She might not want to play!

Friday, 26 September 2014. Why The Holy Bible is (and probably always will be) My Favourite Album. I love this album so much I had it grafted to my FACE. When people talk about their favourite albums, you don't generally expect to hear the words "it features songs about the death penalty, prostitution and the Holocaust.". I first heard the band's third album - released in 1994 - back in 1998, when I was 15, going on 16 years old. I hated. The previous year, when the Manics had released Everything Must Go.

The Rambling Curl: Fifty Abusive Moments in Fifty Shades of Grey

Monday, 10 February 2014. Fifty Abusive Moments in Fifty Shades of Grey. Yes, you read that title right. I'm so tired of being told that there's no abuse in Fifty Shades of Grey, that I've decided to compile something of a list. A list of fifty. Christian Grey is a stalker. In chapter two of the first novel in the trilogy (that's right, chapter two. Turned up there deliberately to see Ana, through EL James' clumsy use of Ana's internal monologue, as she ponders the fact that he can't possibly have wanted...
