On Deck


Welcome to HMS Friday a blog which will highlight the worst of life and pop culture, from infuriating celebrities and news stories to disappointing products and general total let downs, we hope to cover them all.

For those of you interested in the origin of our blog name here is a brief description of the term: "Sometime in the 19th century, the Royal Navy attempted to finally dispel the old superstition among sailors that beginning a voyage on a Friday was certain to bring bad luck. To demonstrate the falseness of this belief, they decided to commission a ship named HMS Friday. Her keel was laid on a Friday, she was launched on a Friday, and she set sail on her maiden voyage on a Friday, under the command of a Captain James Friday. She was never seen or heard from again."
