Ok thats it, i'm starting a current events section (or not section) so we can discuss, well hum current events.

So first off, UK Pay Gap problems... or not problems. In case you havent heard (and i'm assuming nobody has since most of the people visiting here aren't really interested in 'news') there is SHOCK in the UK since the "Women and Work Commission" (whatever that is) has found that women earn 17% less than men. Okay that does sound like it is a bit unfair (or very unfair) but lets face it, women are unreliable. Could get married one day, get pregnant a couple times, and there she goes taking your company's money away without doing a bit of work!

Mr Duncan states that "Unequal pay based on sex discrimination is completely and totally unacceptable in this day and age. We will do what it takes to stamp it out." Thats fair enough, but its not unequal pay based on sex discrimination, its based on the fact that you allow women to stop working and keep getting paid for taking care of their baby, and therefore businesses are losing out whilst they wouldn't if they had employed a man to begin with. It makes complete sense to me.

I don't understand why it isn't a woman's responsability if she gets pregnant. If she wants to have a baby, then its her problem, find your time to take care of it. I won't get time off work just cause I want to buy a baby lion and take care of it! (yeah yeah okay weird example, but hey this is entertainment)

Oh this is fun, its gonna start a major debate!

Anyone lose a camera whilst in London? Maybe this is yours:

And here's a funny story about a chick finding her camera, but not quite getting it back:

Unfortunately, as some of you may already know, Penthouse yesterday published pictures of board member miss Amanda in what is to be the biggest controversy to hit Random-Friends blog. Miss Amanda appeared on the front page wearing a skimpy bikini, causing outrage throughout the community. On behalf of Random-Friends I would like to apologise to all the shareholders for this occurence. Let me assure you that this will not happen again, we have taken every precaution to make sure that any other pictures that our lascivious Amanda may want to take (and we hope she takes more) will not be linked to Random Friends. However, this means that Amanda has been banned from taking part in any further elections as well as being kicked of the board members.


On another note, I would like to make everyone aware that there has not been and will never be a sexual relationship between me and Simon, as neither of us is gay. I do however want to point out that homophobic behaviour is not tolerated on this blog! The people want a leader who can tolerate any race, any belief and any sexual preference. Having said that, this administration does support nude or sexy pictures, so fans, please send them in (with a phone number).

Thanks again for your continued support.

your beloved CEO Jonny

I would like the clarify that the CEO's position has not been filled. Amanda seems to think that style is what is needed to fill the position, however she fails to realise that sexy outfits and exaggerated cleavage will fail to impress the female members of the board, as well as the not-so-horny-and-stupid male members. I also fail to see how clothes can instil shareholder confidence.

We do however encourage her posting some pictures of herself in sexy outfits with exagerated cleavage, it will definately increase the hits on this blog.

As everyone knows, there is really no competition for the CEO position, as I am doing such a great job. There have been over 60 million psychic votes in my favour, and none for the other "so called" candidates.

I do not feel the need to 'finger point', since it is so very clear why the other two candidates aren't fit to lead you in this new year. Amanda, on the other hand, is taking a very hypocritical approach to this debate by continuously finger-pointing to such a detail, that even the colour of someones shirt is immediately criticised.

It seems clear to me that Amanda's candidature is not in the best interest of the community, her attempted "hostile takeover" is proof of her Hitlarian approach, and dictatorships have no place in this company.

I thank everyone for their continued support.

P.S what is a blog dot counter?


Jonny, CEO

A member of the commitee, Simon "Zombie" Greenway has decided to continue the motion proposed by one known as "Idiot". I would like to state once and for all, that there is no power struggle for the blog, the board members are completely satisfied with my work and they know that I can lead them to success and stardom!

It is clear that any words coming from the mouth of a Zombie cannot be of great importance, if at all of any significance, and words from the Idiots mouth are, as we have already seen, crap. The picture displays both the Zombie and the Idiot at a bar in Switzerland, The zombie is clearly holding down the Idiot, we still don't who the other person is pointing(?) a finger towards them. They are clearly both enjoying this weird gothic ritual, which is very worrying.

I apologise for any scares that may have occured to the shareholders and especially the groupies, I still love you all.
Jonathan, CEO

This was an attempt by our CEO, me, to imitate the King. Yes... an attempt.

When I was in Switzerland during the holidays a curse was set upon me. An innocent looking woman approached me whilst on the train, she talked to me with her usual pick up line "Are you American?". Little did I know she would turn out to be a Vampire, the coffin around her neck and her pointy teeth should have been enough to enlighten me, and make me run, but something kept me at my seat.

She finally got off the train at Vevey station, leaving me in a pool of sweat, my heart pounding frantically. I ran off the train when I arrived at my destination, only to remember I had given away my number. I panicked as my phone rang, and sure enough it was her, Catherine. More to come soon....

Due to complaints from a certain unimportant individual, we have had to welcome Amanda to the blog too. We look forward to working with an incompotent individual and we wait anxiously for her first post, as soon as she finds the "Publish post" button.

We wish Amanda all the best in her search for the posting button, and the blog itself.

Jonathan, CEO

As the creator of this wonderful and active blog, I would like to give a warm welcome to Simon for joining our team! (a small welcome to Amanda too)

We are all proud and honoured to have you with us, Simon, we appreciate the input of such a talented and well mannered individual. We hope that our online relationship can continue to flourish, and maybe develop into a firm bond.

We wish Simon all the best at his new home on "Random Friends".

Jonathan, CEO
