CHAV

It's a while since the word chav appeared, but it still retains it's popularity; probably because it is somehow beautifully descriptive and very useful.

Anyway, in some idle time recently - probably when I was faffing whilst "writing up my project" I came across a link to a "chav test" online. So, if like I was you're wondering how chav you are, point your browser to the following link. http://www.getlippy.com/play/quizzes/chavquiz/

And please, especially if you score more than 15% leave a comment below to let me know how you get on. It'll be interesting to see how chav my readership base is anyway but if anyone is more chav than I came out to be I'd be grateful to hear from you. In fact, if anyone is as chav as me (15% in case you hadn't worked it out) then please let me know. Somehow I have come out to be more chav than all of my friends who have taken the test thus far. More chav than even Mr "Pearly White Trainers" Stacey himself, which resulted in him sending me a text simply bearing the word "CHAV". I worry now that I am not the sort of person he would associate with...

Anyway, enough from me for now. Take the test - without further ado - and return to leave your comments.

I am also 15% chav, I was outdone on being a Pot Noodle addict. Also isn't it just Northern to call your Grandmother, Nan? Same goes for tea for evening meal, just Northern dialect as opposed to being chav like.

Also, you do realise the test was for girls?

Admit it Jim, you've worn white stillettos and lip liner darker than your lipstick ;)
I also got 15%, but you shouldn't worry, we're only wannabes!
Don't know what's wrong with a romantic meal at pizza hut though...

Oh 'eck. This is what I got ...

Amateur chav
You are 56 % chav

You are the official chav-in-training, you know where you want to be but there are still a few obstacles to get through before you make it as a fully paid up member of chavdom. Keep on flying the Burberry flag, watch a few more episodes of Footballer's Wives and you'll be home and dry.

the purpose of religion

One of the things which featured in the recent debate on this post is the idea that “religion should be about improving oneself”. This has got me thinking; ‘religion’ of course takes many forms, but in the vast majority of cases I disagree with this. To paraphrase MarkC, religion is certainly something which as a by-product might help with “improving oneself”, but however you measure self-improvement it is not the sole point, certainly not in the Judeo-Christian case. In fact, if your sole aim is to “improve yourself”, why waste your time playing around with the trappings of religion? Most religions are based around the idea of faith in God, and that, surely, is the point. Considering Christianity specifically, Jesus said “ Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself ” and so ‘religion’ should not be in danger of becoming all about wo...

atheism is a matter of faith, not science: the debate continues

Following the letters page in last Wednesday's Metro and the follow-up comment on this post I’m pleased to see that the beginnings of a debate are brewing, and I intend to use this post to pick up the baton again. Unsurprisingly, I’m going to start by responding to the aforementioned comment. I apologise if my tone was deemed to be a bit sharp, but I have no hesitation in defending the point I was trying to make. According to dictionary.com , faith can be defined as “belief that is not based on proof.” As there is no proof that God does not exist, belief that God does not exist (i.e. atheism) must be faith. Now, I take your point that “as human beings we are always revising and fine tuning what we hold to be true based on the evidence to hand, what we discover and our ability to determine what is probable or improbable.” To digress slightly, that is why switching on the Large Hadron Collider is going to be something of a milestone, as it could eit...

milk and sugar?

I've been debating with my housemate as to whether tea or coffee is more popular world-wide. We've both done quick web-searches, and we've both got results to match our different claims. I say tea, he says coffee. So, to settle the debate, it's down to you. Do you prefer tea or coffee? Please leave a comment below - one word is all it takes.
