The peado speedo's

Obviously this isn't a serious blog. But I do want to share with you the horrific experience I've just had in the swimming pool just now. Here are my top reasons as to why you shouldn't wear the 'Paedo Speedo'

1) When you are doing the breast stroke in front of me I can see your testicles dancing. As a 20 year old, I do not wish to see this from a 50 year old man. It is gross.

2) When you look at me, even if it's just a quick glance, when wearing the peado's you look like you're about to go on a rape mission, No offence, but you do, and it's scary.

3) When you are aroused by the party of german kids who came running through in their swim wear, it is VERY OBVIOUS... and scary. Though let me congratulate you on growing such a sizeable rape stick.

4) When you wear speedo's that a size too small, your vast amounts of pubic hair bushes through like I don't know what. This was very disturbing every time you felt it necessary to stand in my way, It was not fun almost swimming into your aroused bushy crotch.

5) Unless you are the really hot guy who came by, or the nice looking lifeguard, I do not want to see a detailed outline of your genitals. To be honest, why wear anything at all? At least they weren't white and see through!

6) Because you're speedo's were a size too small, your testicles made a habit of popping out. Considering you were doing the breast stroke, I found this disturbing as I saw with every kick you made. I in the end, swam with my eyes closed and swam into someone else.

Once the speedo guy had left, I felt safe... FOR ALL OF TWO MINUTES. As two trolls came to swim next to me. (No, seriously. I think they were trolls) At first I thought it wasn't going to be as bad as the speedo guy. But I ended up being just as disturbed for these reasons.

1) They did not feel the need to sort out the wedgie they had, Imagine a 20+ stone woman wearing a g-string or a thong. Now you feel my pain.

2) They wore swimming costumes that were a size too big, so as they were doing the breast stroke as I past, From the side I got a glimpse of their wonderful half grown back cactus pubes.

3) And from the back I'm pretty sure they were half monkey. The hairiest arse I have EVER seen.

I love swimming, but now I'm scared to go back :'(

Autism Awareness

So many people emailed asking me about life with my Autistic brother and for me to write a piece about it, so as requested, here it is :).

Autism is getting more recognised by the day, although admittedly I'd never heard of it until I was 13 years old, when my little brother Matthew, then 11, got diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome. Since the age of about 2, we knew he had some learning difficulties, due to his inability to communicate with us, and his inability to really act sociably in the way most other kids would. We got told he wouldn't amount to anything, and he wouldn't be able to achieve much educationally, and with other aspects.
I remember, while all the other kids would be playing in the playground together, on the slide, swings etc. My brother would just walk around the fence just staring at it out of the corner of his eye. Wouldn't do anything else for the duration of us being there.

I also remember how people used to treat my mum, because of Matt's inability to communicate to us when something was wrong, and his inability to understand really what emotions were going through him, he would just cause a scene, play up, kicking and screaming, and somehow my poor mum had to figure out from that what was wrong.

Because we never had a real diagnosis of what was wrong, or any idea what was going on in my brothers mind to upset him, it took us a fair while to realise that 9/10. It was a disruption in his routine that was the matter. My mum soon figured out, that she could only go to one cake shop on the way home from town, because if my mum went there once, to get a bun, and didn't go again, the next time she walked past that shop, my brother would start to play up. And it looks and sounds like he would just be acting like a spoilt brat. But it really isn't the case. It was just the fact that something was different, and he couldn't process it, and it upset him.

People who have Asperger's syndrome often create a deep interest in things, my brother it was wrestling, video games (his PS1 when we were young!) and he could tell you everything about it, but it was all he would talk about, if you would ask him a question about the weather, he'd reply with something to do with wrestling. His focus was always on his little fascinations.
He used to have a big fascination with automatic doors, he HAD to be the one to open them, so if my mum ever needed to go into a shop with automatic doors, and that particular shop was busy... Jesus, you can imagine what happened when my mum got tired of waiting for them to close long enough for him to open them... Arms out, legs out, kicking, screaming, crying. My poor mum! People used to look and judge her in the street, saying how much of a bad kid my brother was, and how much of a bad mum my mum was being. When actually, she was nothing but an amazing mum to us both.

Things did get better for my brother though, after not being able to talk much and understand us, and not be able to really socialise and get on with other kids, things soon got better, and he began mainstream school just before he turned 6, and made some amazing friends. A lot grew out of him, as they developed quicker than him, but he just made more and more friends. Now, he's 18, about to do his second year of college, has an A-level in Maths, and is applying for University. He's done so well for himself. But it's not been without the struggles. A lot of people don't recognise Autism in the people that they meet. Especially kids and teenagers, bullying was a big problem, and I can't count the amount of fights I got in, sticking up against people who made fun of him. It's even harder to see him not recognise that they do make fun of him. A lot of the time it's just an assumption that they're joining in with him and what he's doing, and that's really not the case! Kids would come up to me at school, saying what Matt had done, laughing and saying stuff, when I'd go to ask him, he would just say, 'Yeah, we were all doing it.' It always hurt to see him as such an easy target.
Even this weekend I ended up confronting some lads that I went to school with, because they made fun of the way he was dancing in the club, and calling him a 'retard'. But if he's happy doing what he's doing, who am I to tell him he can't dance the way he wants to. The thing is, he doesn't care what people think, It's just hard to me to see people treat him like that, when all he's doing is having a good time with me and our friends on a night out.


Here's a picture of us from that night out, many people believe that the reason why Autism is a lot less recognised as it should be is because you can't see it in their physical appearance as you would with other syndromes etc. From having Matt as my brother, I've learnt a lot of things that I wouldn't have known without him. I would have been a lot less aware of Autism and what it actually is and how it affects people. Which is why I would love for you guys reading this, if you aren't aware yourselves to go research it! Here are some links :D

And for those of you on twitter, there are some amazing profiles on there for you to go and follow such as: @Autismspeaks and @NatAutisticSoc

Some people with Autism achieve some brilliant things, and even people who struggle to achieve through it, I've found they are the happiest people, who bring the most joy into people's lives. I would love to see an end to discrimination and ignorance towards Autism. It isn't always easy to work with Autistic people, it can be really difficult especially in their younger years, but it shouldn't be an issue, and I can't think of a reason why it should be.

Do you know what you're consuming?

There are a lot of secrets in the food and market industry, a lot of sly things to make us believe we're eating healthier than we actually are.  So what should we be looking for on the packaging of our meals, ingredients etc?

Did you know:
There is only one official '1-of-your-5-a-day' logo that has been approved by the Food Standards Agency? The rest are all just ploys to make you believe you are having a healthier meal than you actually are. Food companies can shove an Apple in a box and smother it in sugar and salt, and still put their own '1-of-your-5-a-day' stickers on the packaging.
These stickers are helping the sales of meals that contain high amounts of sugar, salts and fats, which obviously aren't good for you. If you guys get the chance to, Watch the Dispatches documentary, 'Myths about your 5-a-day' because it will reveal many truths that we should be aware of!

This is the official logo, only foods that contain no added sugar, and added salts are allowed to use this logo. If you see any other logo, check the salt and sugar content in the packaging, to see what you're about to purchase! Don't be fooled by the other logos!

And just because there is a logo on the packaging doesn't mean it even contains one portion of fruit of veg! (Refer to the programme to see their findings). Be sure you know what counts as your 5-a-day! FIND OUT HERE
Myths about your 5-a-day (Dispatches)

Another big deception that companies are throwing on us is the use artificial sugars and sweeteners, that are found in 'diet' and other such drinks. The use of Aspartame in these drinks, takes away the calories, while keeping the sweetness within them. Sounds amazing doesn't it. But it is all too good to be true. 'Diet' and similar claiming drinks and beverages are actually A LOT worse for you, as the Aspartame within them slowly destroy neurons inside of you, and you wouldn't even begin to notice until at least 75% of those neurons in a particular area of the brain are already gone.

Aspartame Information

Everyone who follows me on Facebook and Twitter, knows I have been testing some products and researching what is REALLY going into them, and the best products, and the companies who are actually selling positive, healthy products. My first post will be up very shortly, which includes products from Weight Watchers, and BLK Beverages.

Girlfriends and Boyfriends aren't always so crazy...

We hear all the time about people acting crazy in their relationships, Girl's kicking off at their boyfriends for hanging around with another girl and vice versa, and the way the stories get told, you do get the impression that girl/boy is absolutely bat-shit crazy! It isn't always the case, we do forget what runs through the other person's mind.

Walking home with one of my best friends last night, she was telling me stories of stuff that had happened before in her relationship and the things she'd done. Sometime's she didn't understand why she kicked off the way she did... But to me it was kind of fairly obvious....

One of the great things about relationships is that you get to know a person so well you can predict their reactions to anything, and you can work out how far you can push a person before they snap at you. Some people in their relationships aren't phased at all by their partners hanging around with people of the opposite sex, but sometimes even for those people there are limits to how much they can't be phased by things.

So, boyfriends and girlfriends...
- One thing that is certain is, if you try and hide that you're hanging out with someone of the opposite sex, and then your partner finds out, they're rightfully going to flip off about it.
Whether there is something happening between you guys or not, if you are texting your partner and just wondering what you're up to. For gods-sake, just tell them you're hanging around with someone. Don't bother trying to be shady about it, people aren't stupid, partners tend to know when you're trying to hide something, because they know you just that well.

- Don't treat other people better than your partner. I've seen a fair few arguments in relationships over very small things, such as buying drinks, giving lifts, and just their general behaviour. Which from an outsiders point of view does actually look like the one picking the fight is some kind of lunatic, but the fact is; If you're going to do a nice thing for another guy/girl say, drop them off somewhere, but for whatever reason you always tell your partner to basically get stuffed, or to walk, then obviously when your partner finds out you're not saying that to other people, they're going to be a little hurt and wonder, why the fuck you're treating this other person like that, when you don't treat them like that.

Little things can cause big arguments, and make people look absolutely mental, when in reality, they aren't actually that crazy... when you think about it, it's kind of stupid right? I could list a million other things that cause the same amount of problems, but you'd all get bored reading it! Just think, whenever you hear stories like this that are over silly things, don't be quick to assume anything of anyone. Something will more than likely have pushed them into feeling that way... they probably aren't some crazy bitch. =)
