Niggling

Ok, two things have been niggling at me recently:

First of all, everyone treating George Best like some kind of fucking saint, and 'Oh its such a tragedy'. He was an alocoholic, a drink driver and he battered his wife about. So what if he was a great footballer, that doesnt excuse some of the shit he's done and it sure as fuck doesnt mean elevate him to godhood because he died when it was his own fucking fault! He got many chances, including a whole new liver, something that many people would rightly kill for. Only 2 other people I have spoken to feel the same way, no sympathy for him, sory to his family, but none for him. Call me cold, call me heartless, I dont care. Its the truth no matter which way you look at it.

Second, the gas price bollocks. First of all, why put the prices up? Its not like you can reduce demand, its a bloody essential service. Pople will always need it so putting the prices up is just profiteering the bastards. Now they are being investigated because of the possibility that companies are holding back supplies to increase demand. Who would be surprised if they were?
Anyone remember a time when companies that supplied essential services cared about their customers? Whem making as much profit as possible wasnt the only goal? No, me neither.
