Am I Really *That* Interesting?
By · CommentsWhat I find highly amusing is the lengths some people go to to see what I’m talking about and doing in my life. Am I really that interesting?
The best kick I get is when those who rival KopTalk get their knickers in a twist over something I’ve said or done. I’m flattered that they waste their time on a nobody like me. You see I’m different, if I don’t like you, because admittedly we can’t all get along, I wouldn’t get emotionally involved with you by hating on you or wasting my time on you. Seriously, it’s the highest form of flattery to pay someone.
You’re so easy to hook. Winding you in has become a hobby of mine. You are my entertainment.
Oldham the ‘conman’ because he has a members website where people can support the site via an optional membership if they want to which saves me having to plaster the site in advertisements and also enables me to provide a free website for those unable to become a member or those who simply choose not to.
Allegation after allegation but unable to make any stick. Why is that? You know where I live, I use my real name. On the run but broadcasting daily lol. If it’s on the internet then it must be true… right? No of course not, what it means is someone is unable to compete with you fairly or accept that they are no longer welcome within our community because of their behaviour so instead they have to try underhand tactics and spout numerous lies in the hope of ‘bringing KopTalk down’.
How long have they been trying now? 4 years? 5 years? The outcome? They give me an extra reason to get up in an afternoon and another reason to walk with a smile from ear to ear. Because when someone goes to such lengths to attack you, it means you’re doing something right. When they stop, I know I’m no longer a threat, I’m no longer important. I’ll be finished the day they stop hurting.
When someone tries to knock me down it gives me even more strength to succeed and better myself and it’s no surprise that over the last 4 or 5 years, that’s exactly what I have done so to those of you out there that dislike me just because you’re butthurt, I’d just like to say a huge ‘THANKYOU!’.
If this wasn’t my job I’d never press a key over anyone but the fact that I’m paid to type this drivel makes it so much more satisfying.
Up In The Air – Movie
By · CommentsI finally managed to watch ‘Up In The Air‘ last night, a film starring George Clooney. I won’t bore you with the details as the summary below and the trailer above should give you an idea about the film if you haven’t managed to catch it yet.
To be honest it wasn’t as good as I expected, having chosen this over ‘It’s Complicated’ because of the IMDb ratings. It’s still worth a watch though but to me it showed no real story and it didn’t leave me feeling inspired.
Had Clooney not been in it, I don’t think I’d have taken a look at it. Yes the ladies like him but I actually think he’s a good actor; without him, this film would have been pants.
‘UP IN THE AIR’ SUMMARY
Ryan Bingham works for Omaha based Career Transition Counseling whose contracts are in corporate downsizing. In other words, they fire people. Ryan is flying around the US over 320 days of the year, which he feels is the best part of his job. He does whatever he can to rack up frequent flyer miles, the goal not to use them but just to accumulate them to a specific number he has in his mind.
A secondary job he has is to give motivational speeches on relieving one’s life of excess physical and emotional baggage. He truly does believe what he espouses as he lives out of his carry-on suitcase (his apartment in Omaha is really in name only), he is not close to his siblings (although he does do a favor for his sister while on his travels), nor does he have or want a significant person in his life.
Ryan’s life may change when the company hires Natalie Keener, a young overachieving woman who recommends that the company change the nature of the work by conducting the “firings” via remote computer access. Ryan believes that Natalie does not fully understand the nature of the business, and as such, their boss, Craig Gregory, suggests that she accompany Ryan on a business trip.
Ryan is also trying to protect his way of life, which now includes meeting up with a woman named Alex Goran whenever their flight schedules mesh. Like Ryan, Alex, who he met in an airport hotel bar, is constantly traveling for work, and is as equally turned on the by the concepts of “elite status” or “preferred member” as Ryan is.
Praise For Ryanair

Rob’s flight back to England was cancelled earlier in the week due to a strike by Air Traffic Controllers in France. Ryanair ensured that we were transferred onto the next flight that suited us, they didn’t force us onto the next flight that suited them.
There was also a return flight booked with them which would be missed because of the disruption and although Ryanair didn’t have to refund that flight, they did and allowed us to choose another day to return back instead.
All of the above without any charge and less than 10 minutes on the phone to the Ryanair customer services team in Ireland.
Ryanair do get beat-up pretty often but they’ve always been awesome with me so credit where credit is due.
Last year their CEO Michael O’Leary even wrote to me personally which was a nice touch.
You do get what you pay for so you can’t bitch and moan if you pay next to nothing for a flight but then expect the standards of those offered by British Airways long haul for example.
EasyJet were always my favourite airline and first choice even if I could find a cheaper flight but their prices are simply too high today in comparison to Ryanair.
Ryanair will continue to receive my custom as often as possible…. especially as they have the best looking cabin crew on the planet!
