I was listening to Radio 1 today and there was some commotion about Rihannas new song release – Only Girl. I’ve got to be honest, it was very boring to listen to. I’m terribly glad that she changed the pitch of her voice nearing the end of the song because that high pitch stretch she does was grinding my gears.

I also wanted to ask why all songs including “Rihanna – Only Girl” sound so similar. They all have the same synth ideas going on and the same beat structures throughout, it’s tedious, especially listening to Radio 1 that constantly plays this stuff. I’m not saying it’s shit and I’m really glad that people enjoy listening but… That song was very boring… Is that my opinion? I don’t know anymore, I’m starting to think it’s a fact. From a huge celebrity musical talent such as Rihanna, you expect a bit more effort put in.

Unfortunately I can’t find a video for the song yet, but when I do, I’ll put it here.

And here’s a link to the lyrics so you can be amused: http://www.directlyrics.com/rihanna-only-girl-lyrics.html

And here is a little talk about on the new song: http://www.aceshowbiz.com/news/view/00035185.html

After the delayed release of the Stig’s autobiography, it has been made very aware that the Stig is in fact Ben Collins ex-Formula Three driver. I can’t believe it’s finally out.

Does this affect the Top Gear series at all? We all know who he is. It all seems to lose its humour…

Well I guess it’s the end of an era. I only hope that it all blows over for poor old Ben.

There’s a really good article about the whole “Who is the Stig?” thing at BBC News and wikipedia has been updated with the Stig news too.

Comments etc.

Now don’t get me wrong, I love my Mazda 6 TS Estate 2.0 but after taking a drive in the Vauxhall Astra VXR (with more poke than a snooker cue) I’m finding it hard to feel settled in it. So it’s time for a new car.

It’s hard to move away from Mazda once you’ve had a Mazda. The 6 series gives the most fantastic drive and even for an estate, the car is pretty fun. It’s got a bit of edge that I really admire. So I thought I’d stick with Mazda, at least this time round.

I’ve been reading up a lot about various different cars and judging how much money I had to spend on my latest fix and came to the conclusion that the Mazda 6 MPS was the best way to go.

I did a search on autotrader.co.uk and found about 8 Mazda 6 MPS on sale, 3 of which were worth looking at. After sending a few emails off, I managed to book a test drive in Ashford, Kent (about a 2 hour drive from where I live) for the following Saturday. Friday approached. I was on edge the whole evening just bursting at the seams with excitement, I knew I was going to be buying it. I Randomly went to check my emails only to find that the car had been sold and would be out of the garage on Saturday… Bugger.

Since that day, all of the Mazda 6 MPS of worth are gone. I’m struggling to pick one up in black and with a Mazda warranty attached.

So there you have it, Mazda 6 MPS is a bloody hard car to get your hands on but when I do possess its power, I will reign hell upon the earth.

Enjoy the rest of the week.

Do you realise how many times I have raced the GT5 Prologue tracks?

Enough to be ridiculously excited about the release of Gran Turismo 5.

Gran Turismo UK Release date is confirmed: 2nd November 2010.

Here’s the official E3 2010 trailer to get you as excited as I am:

I recently pushed out the boat and decided to go on a holiday. Using Thomas Cook’s crock of shit website, I managed to get to the “pay now” button.

What’s this? Payment declined?

Apparently Abbey don’t like their customers spending over £1000 at any one time so they lock the account… I’m a thief!

Ok fair enough, a little protection on my debit card is probably a good thing, so I decided to ring up Santander, get the card unlocked and proceed with my holiday payment. No big deal!

I dialed the phone number and was greeted by the most amazingly fucking annoying music I have ever heard, like some epic adventure of banking grief. This women is telling me every 30 seconds “we’re very sorry to keep you waiting but we aren’t working hard enough to answer your call because we suck more than a Dyson”.

25 fucking minutes later I cancel the call and re-dial; more enraged than a pot of Naga Chilli.

“The custom service is currently closed, please select from the following options”

Ok, so the custom service counter is closed yet I can choose from options and wait in an infinite loop for noone to fucking answer.

*claps hands*.

Cheers Santander. Thanks for the great holiday you piece of shit.
