Operation Misery: Month 10, Week 2, Day 2.

Yeah frankly I'm getting a bit bored of writing these.

However it appears that after being sent gifts from most of the world's top designers Rihanna has decided to move out of her New York City hotel room and move into her New York City apartment. My main concern of course is whether this apartment is being rented or is now owned outright. Obviously though I would hate for that question to be answered via the Internet. After all it does raise legitimate UK tax issues.

The specific UK tax issue raises relates to the - I think - 2012 Budget in which 'we' decided to cut down on tax evasion by imposing stamp duty (sales tax) on properties owned by corporations. At the time I believe I opposed this on the grounds that certain corporations did need - from time to time - to bring in specialised staff on temporary contracts. Live Nation is a perfect example of such a corporation. I mean not only last year did they bring in Justin Beiber, Rihanna, Lady Gaga and Beyonce but this year they intend to bring in Beyonce and Miley Cyrus to name but a few. So surely rather then renting just the same hotel suite in my name it would just be much easier for them to buy a few O2 adjacent apartments in the London Docklands and stock them with staff as needs be.

The big problem though is that Rihanna's CIA handlers/Live Nation (the management) don't appear to have accepted that the long since dead Diamonds World Tour (DWT) won't be resurrected in South America. As a result they seem to be keeping Rihanna pepped on pre-tour energy. So she's recently been kept busy in a recording studio and summoned to a photoshoot for US Vogue Magazine where she had her hair set up like Zindzi Mandela. Personally I like to think of this as just Rihanna's natural hair. After all this was rumoured as Rihanna travelling to Brazil for a photoshoot. I stand by my Twitter (@Sovereignaka) comments that US Vogue are now getting seriously tired of digging Rihanna out of the sh't.

Anyway in response to Beyonce's surprise iTunes album launch I believe Rihanna took to Instagram to blink - in morse code - that she is; "Totally Happy With Her Life!"

Unfortunately I then looked at what the rest of her crew stuck up on Instagram and decided that - much like the fresh pine on my new UPVC porch - sadly it's going to rot in place.

Back somewhere in the late 1970's this new music know as punk was born.

Somewhere in the fire and fury of that DIY ethos those who were good at music decided to play some.Those who were good at photography decided to take some. And those who were good at scribbling decided to write about it.

Sadly though amongst all those people there were some who were only good at partying. After they'd drunk, smoked, smiled and snorted those 'people' fell into the gutter. And they became known as;

The Gutter Punks!
