<p>He’s the lead singer of the intolerably awful Fall Out Boy, themselves named after a character in The Simpsons, Millhouse’s starring role as Radioactive Man’s sidekick. So straight out of the blocks he’s made himself unpopular with me for his paint-by-numbers pop culture reference.</p>
<p>In addition to this he’s married to Ashlee Simpson. Why would anyone marry that miming, barn dancer? Look at them, it’s painful.</p>

<p>So we’ve established he’s an attention seeker (why else would you marry Ashlee Simpson), which makes the following statements seem rather obvious.</p>
<blockquote><p>…anybody above the waist is totally fair game.</p></blockquote>
<p>Apparently this an allusion to the fact that he’s kissed boys, but no more! Like some kind of bisexual prom queen. Yawn. Though wait, no. It’s simply because…</p>
<blockquote><p>I’m not a fan of penises.</p></blockquote>
<p>Phew, glad we cleared that up. What else could this arse possibly say to dig himself further into his let’s pretend world?</p>
<p>How about this gem from the front cover of Out.</p>
<blockquote><p>Yeah, I am a fag.</p></blockquote>
<p>Right, so you’re a fag that just doesn’t like cock. I know exactly how you feel I’m a world class tightrope walker, it’s just I’m afraid of heights is all. Dick.</p>
<p>Still let’s save, the rather contradictory, best for last.</p>
<blockquote><p>I would never come out and say I’m gay, because I’m not gay. There’s part of me that kind of wishes I was gay, and I think that comes from anybody constantly wishing they were in the minority and constantly wants to be fighting everybody off.</p></blockquote>

<p>A nice touch that this boy-thing added was the bit you can’t see, every three or four yards it would eject a stream of watery spit onto the pavement. Literally, it couldn’t move more than five paces without a fountain of its mouth juice hitting the deck. Nice.</p>
<p>Anyway back to my real moan, look at those jeans! My jeans sit somewhere north of my hips, not dangling gently round my thighs. How do those fucking things stay on?</p>

<p>Right, see that loose collection of blackish material at the top? That’s his underpants. You can tell they’re his underpants because you could see the crack of his arse as he walked.</p>
<p>See the bit below? That’s his jeans. Skinny girl jeans. Jeans that are made for skinny, no, not skinny, anorexic girls. He’s wearing jeans that were designed to be worn by a person that had no cock and lived on laxatives and warm water. I think that says a lot.</p>
<p>Anyway at what point did The Youth™ start wanting to dress like this? When did I become so out of it that I didn’t notice this seismic shift towards ill-fitting clothes and a desire to let people see your baggy gruts?</p>
<p>What happened to lads wanting to look like men? I doubt highly that 300 would have been quite as exciting if it concerned the story of men that dressed like this plum, flopping around, foppish fringes blowing in the breeze, whining on about how life was unfair and nobody understood them. Tossers.</p>
<p>Bring back National Service!</p>
<p>Actually while I’m at it on the ‘fashion’ thing, why does every girl in Britain under 21 wear the same combo of hair band, smock, footless tights and flat shoes? Ok, they all mix up the colours from a pallete of around nine retina-searing, eye-fuckingly-bright shades, but essentially they all wear the same clothes, right? Why?</p>

Why is Nick ‘pooping’ round at your house? Tell us more.
What you want to do, you see, is discover the world of ‘part-time working’. It’s great! You get to meet friends for coffee,relax a bit, get an extra day off to go shopping when the town is not heaving, catch up on those little things you’ve been meaning to do but never get time at the weekend, etc.
Generally you feel calmer, more relaxed and at one with the world. The only downside is though… you earn half the money! Bugger!!
Hope you enjoy a well earned rest this weekend.
