We all know that acne is a very embarrassing problem and can seriously effect your social life but not a lot of people know what to do about it. Not many people are brave enough to go and see their doctor because they will have to sit in a waiting room with people staring.

As with lots of things the internet can come to the rescue. There are lots of effective acne treatment cream on the market that can help you, some of them your doctor won’t have heard of.

There are a lot of treatments that do not and will not work but there are a lot that will and sites like the link above help shift out the crap products so you are left with the best ones only.

Setants: The TV Version Of Google

August 20, 2008 by Dean Saliba

I wanted to stay in and watch the England game toniGht but I Was amazed to discover that Setanta had outbidded both the BBC and Sky Sports to air the game.

I first heard of Setanta a couple of years ago when they stepped in to show a couple of WWE wrestling pay-per-views that Sky had refused to pick up after Channel Four dumped them. Back then they showed the odd UFC show and a couple of Scottish football matches that Sky were not airing and mostly Irish sports.

This year they have exploded.

- They outbidded Sky for the rights to air 46 Premier League games this season for three years.

- They signed a £125m 5-year deal to exclusively air Scottish Premier League matches.

They agreed a deal with Frank Warren’s Sports Network to exclusively show boxing matches involving Joe Calzaghe, Enzo Maccarinelli, Kevin Mitchell, Gavin Rees, Alex Arthur, Matt Skelton and Amir Khan among others.

They are also showing a lot of the cricket action and tennis, darts, American football and hockey.

I flicked over to the Setanta channel and was shocked to find that you have to pay to watch the channel. The price is a staggering £12.99 a month! £13.00 a month to watch what Sky Sports and the BBC were offering for free?

My first thought was “No one is stupid enough to pay an extra £13.00 a month for one channel.” But then again when the channel has the rights to almost every major sport then they will get subscribers no matter how much they decide to charge.

I Got My Serj Tankian Ticket!

Well it is official, this morning I got my ticket to see Serj Tankian at The Forum on September 3rd. Now that I have the ticket in my hand (or more percisely stuck on my fridge with a magnet) it means I’m definitely going to the show.

I also received some more DVDS that I had been waiting for. It was quite amusing watching as the postman put DVD after DVD through my letter box like some kind of door-shaped fruit machine that was paying out a jackpot of DVDs instead of money.

I received Bottom series 1, 2 & 3. I had them before (well they belonged to my brother but it means the same thing) but I len the mto Reiss and although he still has them he scratched them ot pieces so they are useless now.

I also received four more A Touch Of Frost episodes.

I am a big fan of A Touch Of Frost (the awesome ITV show featuring David Jason as DCI Jack Frost), recently a company called Deagostini offered the complete collection week by week with one show on one DVD. I was lucky enough to be given some of these DVDs for free and I have now got almost 15 of them.

They are not in order of the series, I’m not sure why Deagostini would released them in a random order like this. It is becoming quite an obsession of mine to get hold of them.

I have promised myself not to buy anymore DVDs for a couple of weeks, I will not allow myself to check out Ebay either because that is where I get most of them from.

I’m Going To See Serj Tankian

On Wednesday September 3rd I shall be going to The Forum, in Kentish Town, to watch Serj Tankian (lead singer of System Of A Down) perform songs from his first solo album.

I only found out about him playing by a complete fluke. I plan on seeing Thunder in November and last night I decided to go and see Black Stone Cherry play in December. I then thought that I might search Ticketmaster and see who is playing in September and October to make it one gig a month until Christmas.

Disturbed are playing in October and I found Serj Tankian is playing next month.

I was amazed to find out that there were still tickets available for the gig so I snapped one up before they were all gone. I was really pleased and I became rather excited when I found out that a band called InMe are supporting them.

I am a big fan of InMe ever since I heard their first single Underdose back in 2002. Check out Firefly, Crushed like fruit and Neptune from their first album Overgrown Eden, their fouth album is coming out this year some time.

When I mentioned to Reiss that I was going he asked me to buy him a ticket but I’m not fooling for that one again in a hurry.

Bring on September 3rd!

Getting Lost In The West End

I was meant to be attending Will’s 30th birthday bash at The Intrepid Fox last night but sadly things did not quite go to plan because Reiss (for one reason or another) pulled a bit of a moody on me.

I have only been to The Intrepid Fox from my house once before, the other times we have gone from another pub. Over the course of the evening I sent him two text messages, phoned his mobile twice and even phoned his house phone but for some reason he refused to answer or call me back so I was forced to try and find my own way to the pub.

I got hopelessly lost. It is not a good idea to try and find a venue when you are 75% blind. don’t wear you glasses outside and have to read street signs that are not only very high up but you also have to do it at night with no light.

I gave up and ended up drinking in some of the worst pubs in Holborn that I have ever seen, one did not even have toilets! I’m sure that is not legal!

Trouble Follows Me Like A Bad Smell

August 15, 2008 by Dean Saliba

I was about to board the number 254 bus opposite Hackney town hall when there was a confrontation going on inside the bus between two black men and another black man. I was told afterwards that the two black men had tried to snatch the other black man’s money at the cash machine and had followed him onto the bus to try again.

Within seconds it kicked off as the two men attacked the other guy from behind and he ended up tumbling off the bus as they laid into him, he ended up on the pavement with these two guys kicking and punching him like wild animals.

Everyone was just standing there, some where watching and some where pretending to check their watches or read their papers. I decided to help so I dropped my bags and waded into the two men who were still punching and kicking him like a football.

I pulled one away and told him to let it go, he then realised his hat was on the bus (the bus driver had now shut his doors) and started banging on the door for his hat. I grabbed hold of the other guy and pulled him off and he took exception to me sticking my nose in and punched me in the eye, I placed my hand around his throat and slammed him into the side of the bus.

The sound of police sirens was heard and the hatless guy grabbed his mate and they legged it across the road and down a side street. A woman who was on the bus and was pushed off when the fight started came to help the other guy retrieve his stuff.

The bus was still at the stop but the driver would now not let me, the women or the attacked man back onto the bus. That was a big mistake because although the guy walked away the woman and I still wanted to get the bus and the people on the bus tuned on the driver in a flash.

He eventually relented and let us on as a huge black woman was screaming at him for not doing anything and just sitting there. As the bus pulled away we saw the two black guys walking back across the road probably looking for the guy they attacked.

Then it was my turn.

I have had some ear-bashings in my time but I have never been verbally attacked by a bunch of people like I did on this bus. I was repeatedly told that it was stupid of me to get involved as they could of had a knife. Yet they then started having a go at bigger blokes who just stood by and watched.

To be honest it did not cross my mind that these two guys might have a knife, I just saw two blokes who had tried to mug this guy and were now attacking him like two cowards and nobody was doing anything to help him.

It is no all bad though, the hat was stolen by a young lady.

I hate Religion

I took my puppy down for her first walk of the day, next to the piece of grass are some houses that are fenced off from the piece of grass by a big wooden fence but at the front there is a small piece of metal railing that separates the piece of grass from the front of a house.

She enjoys putting her front paws onto the wall and looking through these metal railings at passing people.

Today she did it and there happened to be a young asian lad in the front garden who screamed the place down and ran for his life. His mother came over to hit my puppy with a metal shovel but then saw me and decided to shout at me in her language instead.

I do not normally swear at women but I told her to fuck off and her husband then came into view. Now I don’t hit women but I will hit your boyfriend/husband. I told him in very blunt English that if his wife hit my dog I’d jump the fence and kick his head in.

I stayed on the grass and about 2 minutes later the kid was back in the garden playing with some pigeons.

This is what I do not understand. Asian people are scared shitless of dogs but it is OK to play with filthy disease-ridden birds who carry more diseases than any other animal, including the rat?!

The Asian people on my estate throw out this disgusting foul-smelling stuff that the pigeons feed on, they throw it on the patches of grass that are there for dog owners and after a couple of hours it turns to this horrid sludge.

We have a Muslim at our football club and he said some bullshit to me about having to wash himself seven times every time a dog touches him.

Oh how I laugh in the face of people who follow religion. If you believe in such fiction as religion then maybe you will believe in the story of Peter Pan Or even Harry Potter?

Acne Is A Very Embarrassing Problem

August 14, 2008 by Dean Saliba

Acne can be a very embarrassing problem, I should know as I had the misfortune of suffering from it when I was a teenager. Thankfully it has cleared up now but I know for a lot of people it never goes away unless you are prepared to get it treated.

There are many acne products on the market, some are good and some are not so good, to find the best one for you I would say go to your doctor and ask them and they will be in a position to tell you which ones will suit your needs.

Switching To Broadband?

August 14, 2008 by Dean Saliba  
Filed under Reviews

I am seriously thinking about getting rid of mobile broadband and maybe returning to wireless broadband once again. Mobile broadband is nice but sadly it has lots of flaws which make it horrible to deal with as it was designed for occasional use.

Since we have two computers (or will have when my dad gets his one fixed) I will need to pick up a cheap Linksys router from somewhere, possibly on the internet as they are cheaper than buying them from an offline shop.
