Needless to say, the presence of Gary Glitter on the social media website has been met with a mixed response. Some say he should be able to move on with his life, others find it funny, many are outraged, while others are just being plain dumb about it.

Reading through some of the Tweets on Thursday evening, people were being advised by fellow users to delete all pictures of their childen as Gary Glitter may see them and how Glitter could use Twitter to gain access to kids. Heaven Forbid!  This view is extremely shortsighted.

There must be thousands of dodgy men and women using Twitter  to commuicate with younger users or merely to follow accounts without needing one themselves. Why the urgency to see Gary Glitter removed from Twitter? If Gary Glitter was going to use Twitter to pray on children, he’d certainly not be doing it using an account in his own name. A frequently shared tweet over the past few days is —

I’m not surprised Gary Glitter is all over Twitter, after all Twitter is only 6 years old.

For all we know, Mr Paul Gadd aka Gary Glitter has been using Twitter for the past 6 years, praying on children, its also very likely that thousands of other people have been using Twitter for less than wholesome purposes.

At least people can track the @officialglitter account, read his tweets, see who is following him and who Gary himself is following. People should worry about the hidden enemy. Do you know for a fact that everyone following you is who they say they are? I have many followers that I have never met in person, any one of them could be dodgy, but that doesn’t matter, as all efforts should be concentrated on removing the Gary Glitter Twitter account, ironcially this account is probably one of the safest accounts on Twitter right now as so many people are keeping track of it.

This is not a blog post to defend Gary Glitter, it is to point out that he can’t be the only paedophile using social networking sites. If people are that bothered about the safety of children, then they should give up using social networking sites altogether and petition the government to close them all down as its the only way to ensure people are safe from sex offenders. OR Parents could actually monitor their child’s internet activities more closely, have the computer in a shared room of the household and decide which sites they can access.

And finally… Congratulations to Twitter user Kate Stephenson @kateytatie who is using Gary Glitter on Twitter as a way to get exposure for herself. She’s made a petition , recorded a video on YouTube and has been tweeting it all night to celebrites to support her ‘campaign’ Now is this her campaign to get Glitter off Twitter, or to gain herself more followers and subscribers? Her argument about why Glitter should be off Twitter is an example of the stupid people that I have highlighted above.

Words escape me with this young lady. Kate claims to even be very concerned about children reading the sort of content that she tweets, so concerned in fact that she’s not taken the simple step of protecting her tweets from unapproved readers. Great way to set an example Miss Stephenson.

Now, let’s all sign the petition as with Glitter gone from Twitter, everyone is safe again. Hooray! *sarcasm*

I thought it might be nice to let you know which confectionary delights that I received for Christmas this year following 2010’s rediculous haul which worked wonders in undoing all my dieting work during 2010.

Here’s what I got in 2011….
A pleasing improvement. One that will see your author being able to maintain his amazing physique.

From ppluk.com: The PPL Small Webcaster Licence is for online radio services that generate revenues of less than £5,000 per year and whose annual total streaming does not exceed the streaming limit of 270,000 Performances (ie. one Performance is when one user streams one sound recording broadcast in the service)..

On the face of it, for under £200 you can legally play music on your internet radio stations, which quite frankly is a bargin! There is some small print at the bottom of the page referring to additional costs depending on the amount of listener hours over the year. So I recommend that you read the full page here for all the details.

Katy Perry looking like a very average lady

The picture of Katy only lasted on Twitter for a few hours before it was deleted, most likely when Katy found out what Russell had done. If I were her, I’d be wanting a divorce! However that means that Katy would miss out on the fantastic sex that Russell can provide her (Just check out the film ‘Forgetting Sarah Marshall’)

Since April 2010, I have been on somewhat of a personal weightloss crusade. For nearly nine months I had been making great progress, having lost over 30lbs. My family were aware of my efforts to eat a healthier selection of foods in order to become a ripped, muscular specimen of a man.

Christmas day came, I unwrapped my gifts, I cried……
