Sites that want to sell you an item but make you register or join before you can pay for it.

Not only that, while registering, if you miss one box that you are supposed to fill in, the form is resubmitted with some other box's now blank. You miss the blank box and the form is resubmitted again.

F**k it, I'll buy it somewhere else.

Aaagghhh!
Not only that , but they want a password.
Trying to buy an inner tube for my son's bike not only did I have to come up with a password, but it had to have numbers, letters (upper & lower case) and a symbol!
Who is going to break into my house, fire up my computer and start buying bike parts?

You can bet that somewhere such a person does exist.

Ben, or Chip, maybe?

Would make a fun ep of Sherlock, or Jonathan Creek too.

It's "Boobies69!".

I just bought myself a massive Allen key.

The complete lack of media coverage over the boy in America who went on a knife rampage. If it was a gun, then we'd be hearing about it 24/7 with statements from Obama or the usual lies from the BBC about America's gun culture.

Even the man on the street seems not to be bothered, probably because the media has told him not to be bothered.

Or is it because no one died?

I mean the Boston bummers didn't use guns

Nope, if a teen had gone mad and wounded 20 classmates with a gun, it would have been a much bigger story.

How do you know?

Took me about 5 seconds to find a story about a school shooting with I hope no deaths

That didn't create a media storm

Has anyone mentioned 'Selfie'?

Moron's replacement for 'Self Portrait'.

If we let them idiots who don't know any words will re-create our entire lexicon complete with inaccurate words and phrases such a obligated when they mean obliged etc..

A selfie is a wank isn't it when you use the term and post?

Vanessa Feltz. Her radio show on Radio 2 in the morning is the ultimate in trash. The false 'I love you all' the sickening sickening sickening birthday feature of mumsy praising their middle calss trashy kids who we all know are on crack and shagging the school bully behind the bike sheds absolutely pisses me off. She is as genuine as a promise from Nick Clegg and I f**king f**king hate her.

TTPYO: When you see a friend going down a particular path but there is nothing you can do to help them.

Eg. An old American friend of mine has started to foster animals, but she's now found herself desperately in the doo-doo (sometimes literally) as people pass over dogs and cats with serious behavioural and medical problems.

Somebody knocked on her door today and dumped her with two cats claiming they were being evicted from their apartment and had nowhere to go. Now she's on Facebook begging people to take some of these animals off her hands because of the cost (and presumably mess) but no one wants to know.

I now sort of understand how some people become crazy cat ladies or get busted for mistreating and killing animals. Though this desire to surround yourself with loads of stray pets and being some sort of Earth mother to all the animals of the world is kind of delusional and maybe even OCD related.

Trouble is, anyone can set themselves up as an amateur animal sanctuary and think with their hearts and not their brains first. Oh and there's no shortage of owners willing to dump unwanted pets at the first instance.

Why don't you tell a mutual friend that there's a new US law where you get a free beer for every stray you shoot.
That and all the strays are go 'Bama at the next election.

But the pet thing is mad, even PETA accept that after a while there's too many unwanted, unmanageable pets to care for and now advocate, neutering and humane euthenasing.

TTPYO: Some people.

Cliff Richard f**king up your shit again Ben?
