The Ranting Room

TV has gone down the hill in a hurry! With the cancellations of Monster Garage, Monster House and Robot Wars I thought my life would end. There are still a few shows I turn in to see, but they are few and far between now.

^^Thank you KingCrimson776 for your encouragement i would recommend one of your threads but i don't know of any!^^

Racism

Jesus Christ how can you insult an entire race!!???? it's stupid! racists are unintelligent, time-wasting, horrible, narrow-mided and ignorant people that give humans a bad name! Extreme Anti-racists are just as bad: they single out black guys and middle-easterns so much that they feel just as left out as when they started having problems with racism! oh my, can't we all just live and let live? Watch the South Park episode "Conjoined Feotus Lady" to understand what i'm talking about.

Not being able to sleep is something I could rant about for pages. Listening to music last thing at night is perhaps the worst thing to do; especially prog rock, classical or jazz. You're giving your brain a workout it really doesn't need when you're trying to get off to sleep.

As for me, I average around three to four hours of sleep each week day night, probably six or seven at weekends when I'm more relaxed. Lat night I went to sleep at about 2am, and got up today at 9:30. Bliss! Tonight I'll be in bed at 11:30pm and asleep by about 2am, and up again at 5:30am for work. By which time I'm too tired to rant..   

It's basically 2  in the morning and I can't get to sleep. I was tired before I went to bed but made the mistake of not letting the song I was listening to finish and it was on my mind for the next ing hour and so I decided to play it so maybe I can get some sleep. It was so ing good that I had to play the rest of the album.

When I try to go to sleep after the album finishes I find I can't. Some weird feeling has taken over and I have the weirdest notion that I left something unfinished. It takes me another ing hour to realize that my blood sugar is low and that my diabetes needs taken care of. Now that I'm feeling tired I now have to go down to the ing kitchen and get some food together. And I think I left the ing light on. I checked, and find that I didn't. And now I have a slight chance of only getting 6 hours of sleep. And I need every second of it because for some reason I haven't been able to sleep much these past few days and the weekend was my chance to catch up and not be so grumpy. Looks like that failed. Miserably.

What happened to the ranting? Why did it cease? This a prog website, come on people, we were born to rant! Well and to listen to prog, and spread the word about the good music.

Why do we need change for change's sake.  I can't find my way around the forum pages now.  Came here for a relaxing few minutes and am getting frustrated.  Did the appearance have to change with upgraded software???

This has to be a contender for 100% genuine rant of the year!

Bloody well done

Incidentally, the phrase "their five unwanted, tax-relief children fan out across the aisle behind them. -ing MOVE!" resonates deeply within my new-town dwelling soul!
