<p>Another RomCom starring Justin Trousersnake, destined for the inflight movie bargain bin, with a title that doesnae quite work this side of the pond. Ah well, us Brits are used to overlooking these small details in order to bathe in the infinite optimism of the Hollywood conveyer belt. Well not me, how about giving the film a nice gritty British twist, set it on a run down council estate, give the main character a major disadvantage &#8211; maybe an alcohol/drug/violence addiction, drag the viewers through his daily trudge to illustrate how the odds are stacked against him, dangle a glimmer of hope in front of the main character, this time in the shape of Justin Timberlake who shows the man a way out of his predicament. Dash those hopes by proving that in the end, despite all efforts, his disadvantages are just too great to overcome. Cast Peter Mullan as his violent alcoholic father and there you have it, a classic British film. Baddabing!</p>

<p>Apple use Foxconn, a Chinese electronics assembly company that has been <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/apple/9095303/Apples-Nike-moment-over-Foxconn-iPad-factory-conditions.html" target="_blank">accused</a> of &#8220;military&#8221; style conditions, so bad it drives some employees to throwing themselves off their buildings. The rate of suicides are so high they have had to fit nets round their buildings. That&#8217;s one way of dealing with it, how about improving the conditions so employees don&#8217;t feel the need to kill themselves?</p>

<p>You don&#8217;t have to search very far on the internet to find videos of consumers being whipped into bladder-rupturing excitement, having camped outside an Apple store to be the among the first to buy their latest product. &#8220;Apple! Apple! Apple!&#8221; for f*ck sake guys, it&#8217;s a computer.</p>
<p><strong>War Is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, Ignorance is Strength.</strong></p>
<div>Apple waged war on Adobe Flash and have <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2011/nov/09/adobe-flash-mobile-dead" target="_blank">finally killed it,</a> having obstructed Flash content on all of their mobile devices due to it supposedly &#8220;having security issues and being a battery hog&#8221; what they meant was &#8220;entire applications can run in flash and Apple has no control over the content&#8221;. Apple wouldn&#8217;t want us getting our music and video content for free now would they? Don&#8217;t let Jobs&#8217; use of the word &#8220;<a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b018ct00" target="_blank">hippy</a>&#8221; to describe himself fool you, Stevey boy was all about the $$$ and in order to make so much of it, Apple needs to control everything you view, watch or listen to on their devices.<br />
Peace out.</div>

<p>Glasgow City Council closed Govanhill Baths in March 2001 saying cleanliness was no longer attractive to Glaswegians.</p>
<p>Junkies occupied the historic building but were removed that August.</p>
<p>On Saturday, Mr Mullan will launch the first phase of a four-year plan to fully scrub himself.</p>
<p>The campaign to save the building has been led by the Govanhill Baths Community Trust.</p>
<p><strong>Community cleanliness </strong></p>
<p>Trust Member Tam Shanks said bathing would help regenerate the area and play an important role in boosting community cleanliness.</p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re converting the auld steamie into a games room complete with a dart board that can be used by the local community and also rented out for events.&#8221;</p>
<p>Mr Shanks said the Trust was also aiming to have a 3-bar electric heater within the building back in use.</p>
<p>Mullan hopes other high profile down-and-outs will follow suit naming Rab C Nesbit, Fran Healy of Travis and artist Alisdair Gray as possible contenders.</p>
