Michael Jackson, A True Idol, Not A Fallen One.

He was a true musical genius. He was an incredible dancer and his voice gave me goosebumps.
Much like any media icon, he was subject to insensitivity, because their jobs is to twist and poison everything that is good in the world, they make money but stupid stupid people buy into it. Learning to moonwalk was my greatest achievement. To hear this legend pass away felt heartbreaking, as if i'd lost a friend.

My favourite songs ever; blood on the dancefloor, dirty diana and smooth criminal. <3

Sadly, yesterday, June 25th, Michael Jackson, the last AMAZING musician passed away, and there is NOTHING worse than to see people using social networking sites to talk disrespectfully about him.

I remember being a young schoolgirl, putting up "michael jackson is innocent" posters around school corridors, and being told that my opinion was not appriciated. I remember how I cried when he was found innocent, because it was the first thing I've ever felt so passionate about, I believed in him, I will always believe in him. To lose your childhood at 11 from fame, it is inevitable that you would cling onto whatever childhood memories you have, in whatever way you could. He was my everyday answer to Peter Pan, and I love that, for I always wished Peter Pan to be real. I would have trusted him with my life.

People, as ignorant as they will be, of course do not care that he was found innocent in a court of law, and believe it is "cool" to display their thoughts in malicious manners. If you didn't like Michael Jacksons music, then you are a twat, because most of the music you listen to is probably inspired by him.

I have a terrible temper when people are unnecessarily ignorant, obnoxious and arrogant.

If you didn't like him as a person, then keep your opinions to yourself, because if it was YOUR relative, and someone said "LOL your mums dead," whether they knew you or not, you wouldn't appriciate it. If you died for whatever reason that attracted media attention, people would feel sad for you, whether they knew you or not, therefore "you didn't even know him" is NOT an excuse to talk trash about him.

I really don't have time for immature cunts, especially when you look at those who make the vile comments, people with comments of his looks, who could really do with visiting a plastic consultant themselves, or perhaps just putting down the fork once in a while.

I eagerly await those who think it's hillarious to run their mouths off, to release their amazing multi million record careers, or their cardiac arrests, whichever comes first. I'll put money on the latter. :) We'll call it Karma.

These people anger me, as if the world isn't narrow minded enough.

There will never be another Michael Jackson. He's up there with Elvis and Cash now, the best of the best. :(

Network Rail Raises For Bosses AGAIN?!

The same journey, week after week, Peterborough to Sheffield, Sheffield to Peterborough. This academic year (Sept - May) I spent £897 alone on going home to visit my family, that's WITH a rail card. On average, half of my journeys were spent standing, because there was not enough seating, and times when there was, there was inadequate baggage space. I do not appriciate leaving my suitcase inbetween carriages, especially seeing as they are being filled with more and more unseated passengers.
The most amusing trainline is the Norwich- Liverpool Lime street, it has 17 calling points, from start to ending point, over a 5 hour journey, they have 2, yes, 2 carriages, and never enough seats! My journeys are not even set times, but different times throughout the day.

Why are seats reserved, then more than the trains capacity sold in last minute non reserved tickets? It's obvious that it's not going to work?

So, I had a clever idea, seeing as it's a rarity that first class is ever full, why not spend a bit extra to give myself a seat in first class? Did you know student rail cards do not work in first class? Did you know it costs over £100 to get from Sheffield to Peterborough first class?

We're sat on the floors of the trains which probably are hoovered once a month if that, we're sat on our bags, we're squashed, we're tired, we're paying for this shoddy service. Where are the network rail bosses who are supposed to be fixing these problems? They're giving themselves lovely raises in this time of financial crisis across the country. If they can afford to do this, surley they can afford to slash train prices?

I have started to learn between which times of day ticket inspectors do not man trains, and ways to cleverly avoid them, therefore, believe sooner or later, we should all take this approach, because for as long as they're making extornionate amounts from us, they won't fix the fact we're travelling in this state.

Another solution would be new computer systems showing exactly how many tickets to seats ratio are being sold? Why is this so overlooked? If the train holds 300 passengers, and 49 seats are reserved, why not just sell the remaining 251 tickets, and if people who have reserved their seat do not show, cut their losses, instead of making other passengers suffer?

In a time when everyone complains about the environment and using public transport, I'd much rather add some carbon footprints than some more notes in the wallets of fat, greedy network rail bosses.

Your thoughts please, what do you pay, how often do you travel, are you always lucky enough to blag a seat and room for your luggage?
