Just scrubbed the sinks, toilet, tub and shower in my bathroom. What better way to spend a Saturday afternoon? 
ProTip: Don't buy black towels. They'll leave a huge amount of very noticeable dust and lint all over the bathroom and it's a pain in the ass to clean up.
Is feeling a bit emotional after someone sharing this link with me There are truly some amazing people out there
And blubbing like a girl, I am off for an early night.

If you only need an Analogue TV, to go with an RF digital set-top box I have a superb 21" CRT TV made by Bang & Olafsen which I am giving away if you want it.
It has good 'provenance' too. It used to belong to Laurence Marks.
No SCART socket.

No Scart?! what are we the 90's?
Am annoyed at the Yahoo c**ts who think it's a fun idea to have the mail sign out page take you directly to a news story with massive picture of a f**king arachnid that you have no choice but to see.
I'll just wait until tomorrow to check my mail then, shall I?
Nice one, f**kwits.

Don't look now, but there are almost certainly spiders prowling the BCG as we speak. I'm sure Aaron will confirm it.
I will have them killed.
NO ROBOTS!

Considered a stand up routine on how much you hate Macs.
You could call it "How do you like them f**king apples!"
Can anybody think of a modern tale that would resemble the main moral teachings of Phaeton's fall from grace?
Basically, Phaeton was the son of the greek God of the sun, Phoebus. Every night Phoebus would pull the sun across the sky in his firey chariot until it went behind the earth, leading to night. When Phaeton fund out he was the sun of Phoebus he asked Phoebus to prove it by granting him one wish. Phaeton's one wish was to drive the firey chariot, he did this but he couldn't control the horses and the sun went wildly all over the place. Eventually Zeus struck the chariot down with a thunderbolt, killing Phaeton.
So basically, I need a tale which combines a discrepancy in age and wisdom/recklessness. I realise this is a long shot, but I'm at my wit's end trying to think of something.
*son of Phoebus. 
I am thiiiiiinking, Harker. 
I thought to myself 'This is a confusing phrase' as I typed it...

it's an allegory for giving too much power to someone who can't control it properly and therefore causes great harm - maybe there is something with George Bush here. Or the atom bomb, or technology in general. Or did you want a specific modern fable?
