Where have all the Streakers gone? Why doesn’t anybody do it any more!!

It used to happen all the time years ago, one of the most popular streakers targets was the Wimbledon tennis tournament, its famous for it both women and blokes doing it, showing off their magnificent wares to the unsuspecting public, bringing colour and joy to a usually uptight and stuffy crowd.

Is it the case now that people just haven’t got the the balls to do it anymore, or is it because we have all evolved since the the 1970’s and 1980’s and have just learnt that over the years that this sort of self-indulgent and exhibitionist behaviour is just totally unacceptable.

Wouldn’t it be so funny if you saw a streaker making a come back for the Queens Platinum Jubilee. All streakers love a special occasion after all, streaking a long-side her Majesty’s carriage down the Mall in the Buff with waving the Union Jack flag in each hand and jubilantly shouting ” Whahey, Whahey!! etc.

Id like to do it myself but these days I think the police and secret services would conflate Streaking with an act of terrorism.

I would like to streak the Queens Platinum Jubilee but I think Id be shot or incarcerated at her Majesty’s pleasure for a very long time. I don’t think she would be amused.

Years ago I watched some lame paranormal investigator show on Ch4 called “Most Haunted“. Basically you had a bunch of people scoping out spooky old buildings and saying “Hello? Anyone there?”

The team were supported by a experienced historian, a paranormal sceptic and a spiritualist/medium, the most famous of whom was Derek Acorah, who was later found out to be a fake by the very same show that made him a star.

Anyway, the show wasn’t too bad to begin with and was pretty interesting at times. But as the years progressed and ratings started to slip the producers (also the show’s hosts) became ever more desperate to “make things happen”. To the point where the TV watchdog demanded they reclassify the show from serious documentary to pure entertainment.

20 years on and I think the show is still limping along via YouTube

Looking for alternatives and there’s plenty to find via YouTube, probably the best known being “Ghost Hunters” along with “Twin Paranormal“, “Sam and Colby“, “Steve Ballard” and “Urbex Hill“. Most of these amateur shows are fronted by noisy cunts in their late teens, early 20s and seem more interested in looking cool for their fans, while plugging the “merch” every 5 minutes rather than taking any serious approach to investigating old houses and hotels.

That said, the cunts that do take an interest, don’t actually investigate the supposedly haunted house very far. Instead they choose an “active” room within the home and get all their ghost-hunting toys out, like a “rem pod”, SLS device and spirit box. They then just stand around calling out “Is there anyone there? If you can hear me switch off that light!” Sometimes the light goes out and they go wild.

They say a few more things and their toys light up and again they freak out, running around not such much scared but happy in the knowledge that their cute little toys work and will keep their fans amused/attentive for  a further10 more seconds!

Whether you believe in ghosts/paranormal is of course your decision. But the channels on YouTube for the most part don’t take it very seriously, which is a shame because some of the places they investigate do have a rather troubled history. And with a bit more effort and rational thinking these kids could make a very good channel for themselves without relying on gimmicks and plugging the “merch” while shouting “hey, dude!” and “OMG!” every 20 seconds.

“Is there anyone there?”

“No, fuck off!”

Strange one for ISAC. Detraction being the meat and tatties of this site. Our raison d’etre in fact. Our reason for being.

(Definition of “Detraction”: Day Admin – Wiki Link )

ISAA maybe Is An Angel. But its boring praising good people. Mmm…

I dislike Meghan Markle intensely. There was a Nom about her laying flowers at the Elementary school shooting. I was about to lay into her then I suddenly thought no. Maybe just maybe it was sincere. So I didn’t.

Maybe I was a bit sick of it. Kids being killed an’ all.

Or just that. Laying into someone laying flowers.

Anyway, has got me thinking more widely about this. (this is the meat and tattie of the Nom) I bet if you could get a percentage of the posts on the Internet of any particular day a good 50% would be of people slagging other people off, people laying into other people, piling in with criticism, giving out stick.

I was sickened to be honest by Donald Trump reading the names of the kids that had been killed at that NRA convention.

But also sickened by Bet O’Rourke accusing some Mayor of having ‘blood on your hands’. O’Rourke is for Gun Control.

I mean people have lost the basic decency to hold off politics for at least a while after an atrocity. But no the very next day.

I am not thinking just about Celebrities or politicians here.

If I think of my little life (as Alfie would say), the berating against others has been incredibly destructive. The constant criticism of one sister against another has had a really detrimental effect.

It’s all blame blame blame. It seems. Everyone I know is at it. I am in the right you are in the wrong. It’s all your fault. You’re not a nice person.

Personal denunciation has an effect. Someone always pointing the finger.

Always like that song by Alexander O’Neil–?Don’t criticise my ideals, don’t criticise my lifestyle ?

A bit confusing this. Maybe I should retitle the Nom ‘Pointing the Finger’. Or maybe ‘The Blame Game’.

Just like the word detraction.

Woof, woof for yet another weirdo, sorry I meant person who identifies as other, from the Land of the Rising Sun.

I debated doing a nom about this, especially after doing that one about the visually challenging bloke who married a cartoon, but this is just brilliant.

The costume is so realistic, if you can bear it watch the YouTube clip of him, you’d swear it was a real dog.

One that had suffered some kind of traumatic brain injury, but still.

This lot have just come out with another searing indictment of racist Britain.

BBC News Link

But that’s not the subject here. The Runnymede Trust describe themselves thus:

”Led by a diverse team, we draw from our lived experience and that of our wide and inclusive community and partnership networks.

We are governed by our Board of Trustees whose expertise and guidance is integral to the production of our work.”

A. Diverse. Team.

Have a look at the attached (Tea and Trustees) and see how diverse and representative of the British demographic they are. Pronouns and all.
