Don’t believe the hype

Ok so you probably know what I’m gonna say but hell I’m still gonna say it anyway…….

Blog pimping is so f’ing annoying!  

Yes I know you want to drive traffic to your site and I’m sure that vintage wedding photoshoot you have is super interesting and original (whoops was that your birdcage I just fell over) but stop tweeting about it every bloody minute of the freaking day!

Would you have a conversation with someone where every minute you repeat a random sentence over and over and over again? Probably not and if you did you would probably need to seek some kind of medical attention.

By constantly tweeting links you look desperate, I have an image of you in my head sat looking sadly at Google analytics real time hoping that your constant drone might actually get you some visits. This image make me sad people, stop doing it!

AND the thing that makes me really mad, I mean sweary in real life and looking slightly deranged is over hyping of supposedly controversial posts. Come on people most of the blogs I read are about weddings and fashion and believe me no one has every said anything that is going to change the world.  Most of the ‘controversial’ posts are about whether vintage weddings are in or out, blog bitchiness or whether you should take your husbands name. Copyright infringement is about as serious as it gets. I read political blogs too and honestly they aren’t anywhere near as dramatic as wedding and fashion bloggers (apart from their overuse of the word ‘slammed’ when anyone in any seat of power says anything remotely negative).

So they write these ‘controversial’ posts, get all coy about it and then tweet 17000 links to it for the rest of the day. Well you ain’t fooling me buster.

I propose that all future hype related tweets are coded thusly <hype> OMG, I’m so nervous, this is amazing, check out the birdcages text </hype>

Banging heads

Right I’m back because so many people out there are being stupid it’s made my ranty senses tingle.

OK so some-things to consider when deciding whether to fill your tank up with petrol

1) there hasn’t actually a been a strike annouced

2) and if they do they have to give 7 days notice

3) the country is currently being run by a bunch of clueless idiots who haven’t said anything intelligent since coming into their ill gotten power

4) you actually have a brain, can make decisions for yourself and don’t actually have to believe the hype (this goes for lots of things but that’s for another day).

5) if you see a queue despite the fact you are British you don’t have to join it. I know its hard for you but resist, RESIST!

Now can you all engage brain and stop acting like idiot automatons, I’m pregnant and this is not good for my blood pressure.

And all you smug public transport users, don’t you lot start – it’s petrol that makes buses go.

Right that’s enough banging heads for the day – now play nice or I will be back and you don’t want that do you…….
