Has anyone heard that annoying kid on YouTube who goes by the name of Fred? Annoying? Really, really annoying(.)
It will be interesting to see what happens to Fred's channel on the 1st June. Currently there are posts being made on thousands of YouTube video's encouraging YouTube users to unsubscribe to Fred.
Here is a paste of one of those comments:
ALL YOUTUBERS!!!
A massive prank will be pulled on "comedian" Fred on YouTube.
What is trying to be done is get everyone that has a subscription to Fred, to unsubscribe. So subscribe to Fred if you haven't, and then unsubscribe on June 1st. If this is successful, then it will make the news, cause controversy,
COPY & PASTE IF YOU SUPPORT THIS!!
PASTE ON OTHER VIDEOS ALSO
★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★
(THE UNSUBSCRIBING WILL BEGIN ON JUNE 1st)
As of today Fred currently has 1,133,744 subscribers. So, I guess it is now a wait and watch, with Fred's channel views sure to surge on the 1st of June...
Do you hate Fred?

The Tunics, Somewhere in Somebody's heart
The Tunics are a three piece outfit from London.
Has anyone heard some of the music from The Tunics? It is brilliant!
'Cost of Living' is their best known song, which focusses on the violent crimes that are rife in modern day London. It is excellent, fast paced and powerful.
The Tunics are from Croydon in the south of London. Joe Costello; vocals and guitar, Scott Shepherd: bass guitar and Max Karpinski on drums.
Their style is upbeat indie rock and roll; some are describing them as a mixture of Libertines and Arctic Monkeys. Costello's voice is very well suited to their style and he reaches the highs very well. I am very impressed and The Tunics album 'Somewhere in Sombody's Heart' is a very good piece. Somewhere in Somebody's Heart was launched in 2008 and debut single 'Cost of Living' is released in December 08. In my opinion The Tunic's album is gaining pace fast and The Tunics will probably sell a record breaking amount of albums in the next 6 months.
The Tunics 'Somewhere in Somebody's Heart'
The Tunics will really jump onto the scene in 2009. I hope to welcome The Tunics down under real soon. I am sure that they would pack out any venue in Australia with their electric, fast paced brilliance.
Good luck to The Tunics and I hope to hear more from them soon.

The Pub Problem on Sydney's Northern Beaches
There is a watering hole issue on Sydney's northern beaches. The issue is, in my opinion; lack of pubs and too many big ones!
Let's take Manly as an example. Infamous on the northern beaches for it's rowdy drunken nightlife Manly has decided to close it's doors at 2.30am. The reason were the drunks on the weekends, keeping residents awake and committing drunken crimes and behavior.
Let us look into this problem and address some facts:
Manly Pub Problem:
- Enormous amounts of drunks causing trouble in the corso and surrounding area on the weekends. Duration: Midnight - 5am.
Current Solution:
- Close all pubs at 2.30am
Real problem:
- Super pubs, containing thousands of drunks in one building.
Possible solution?
- Reduce these enormous pubs and dot smaller pubs up and down the northern beaches peninsula.
Lets take a couple of pubs on the northern beaches, to name a few:
The Steyne, Collaroy Surf Rock, The Mona Vale Hotel. All of these pubs cram people in. Hundreds of people in one building getting leathered. Admittedly Manly is in a location, which will attract city folk and northern beaches folk; a meeting point for people. Plus the opening hours have been later than others, thus we see a mass migration to Manly from up the peninsula on the weekends. So perhaps reducing opening hours is a good thing for Manly?
How many people who regularly go to The Steyne in Manly on a Saturday night actually know any of the bar staff? How about the robots on the door checking ID and even if you are 32; if you do not have ID you are not getting in. How nice and personal is that! ?
The Steyne Hotel, Manly
Does the northern beaches lack community spirit? Would a few nice small, "local" pubs dotted around the peninsula help to improve the community spirit?
Look at Paddington and Edgecliff, as an example in the eastern suburbs. Nice little pubs sprinkled around. If you went there for a third time the bar staff would probably recognise you and you might say "hi" and know their names. The security, (if any), would know you and you would not have to produce ID and be greeted by a robot on repeat visits to the venue; They would know you!
Are the pubs on the Northern beaches simply too big? Should we have big super pubs packed with pokies engulfing our society? They are mini casino's! This needs to be sorted out!! There needs to be some decent pubs on Sydney's northern beaches! Improved community spirit is a mixture of many small things. A nice little pub will serve it's locals well, create a desirable area to live in. Some of the pubs out there at the moment are several pubs in one!
The police say that The Steyne has the most glassings in NSW. That is terrible, it truly is! The Steyne is however 7 pubs in one. There are four separate bars just on the ground floor alone! Per Capita is it the worst pub in NSW for glassings or violence?? (Meaning per punters...) 3500 drunks in one building will cause problems, regardless of closing times. When people are congested, especially after alcohol, there will be trouble(.) This is an important area that has to be considered.
That is the problem, not necessarily the closing times. Although as stated before, this might help stem the migration to manly on a Saturday night? The answer could be reduce the amount of "super pubs" and increase the amount of smaller, friendly, local pubs that service the community better.
Are there any small local watering holes like this on Sydney's Northern Beaches?
Your Local Pub?
Manly Council, Warringah Council and Pittwater Council, please take note here: Wake up! The Police: Wake up! The mayor: Wake up! The local MP! wake up!!!!!!!!!
How about granting some licenses for some nice small pubs on the northern beaches? Check out the Lord Dudley in Paddington as an example. A lovely pub with a front bar and lounge bar at the back. Downstairs is a wonderful restaurant, so the owner will make money and the local residents are served with a lovely little pub.

Picture suburbs around Manly; Fairlight, Balgowlah, Queenscliff, with a lovely little pub. This would not be a bad thing would it? Lets reduce the size of these bigger pubs and maintain the need with smaller, local pubs. The Harbord Hilton is a pleasant little pub. More pubs like these please on the northern beaches!

Catholic World Youth Day Sydney Australia
Catholic World Youth Day is happening this week in Sydney Australia. Catholic pilgrims from all over the globe are descending on Sydney to celebrate their faith and youth. That's great. I hope these pilgrims all have a good time in Sydney. I hope these Catholics from all over the world are happy in their lives and with their faith.
Sydney Australia
I am getting a little annoyed though at the continued referral to Catholic World Youth Day (CWYD) as "World Youth Day" (WYD.) If it were World Youth Day, then surely we would see the youth of the whole world and not just the Catholic world congregating in Sydney?
In fact imagine a real WORLD Youth Day!! The youth of the World, from all faiths and beliefs; Catholics, Protestants, Muslim's, Hindu's, Agnostic's, Atheists, meeting together to celebrate youth!
The youth are our decision makers of policy and governance in the future and if the youth today can come together as one, regardless of faith, surely that would be a great thing?
Again, I am getting a little annoyed at the continued referral by the press to "World Youth Day" when this "Youth Day" is actually a Catholic affair. I have nothing against Catholics. I have nothing against anyone's faith.
This is Catholic World Youth Day!
Why don't we organise a true WYD? The youth of this World who ooze differing beliefs and practise various faiths, get together and show each that they can all get on with one another, interact and make friendships that will grow firmer as the youth grows older?
In a country like Australia and especially in a city like Sydney, (which prides itself on it's multi culture and mixture of faiths), Catholic World Youth Day should not be referred to as "World Youth Day".
Are the media and event organisers stupid or ignorant here? Or are they intentionally insulting the majority of Sydneysiders / Australians who are not Catholics? Again I have no problem with anybody of Catholic belief. Lets make it clear though this is Catholic World Youth Day with a capital C. CWYD not WYD.
