Things that piss you off Page 1,304

I never knew you could do that.

Apparently there is currently myself, David Salisbury and 35 guests online.

35 guests?! At a quarter to 4 in the morning? Are these insomniacs unable to get back to sleep until they have found the answer to some obscure query concerning an ancient British sitcom? Or is the BCG some sort of internet equivalent of a shop doorway where random itinerants pitch up for the night?

I'm often a guest at that hour of morning, espicially on weekends. Works out to be about luchtime here. I sometimes get automatically signed out if my computer loses power. Most of you lot are all in bed by then so I don't bother to sign in again until later.

The squire on the ten o'clock news is equal to the son of the squire and the other two guys.

Give me a difficult one.

Try standing with your feet together, turning through 120 degrees anti-clockwise then taking two paces forward.

Now do the same thing again.

And again.

Congratulations. You're now an equilateral thinker.

Bloody hell, Oldrock, it doesn't take much to make you do a u-turn! That's made me as sad as the recycling box sitting on my neighbours lawn for the fifth day running.

I don't get why people are worried about hidden online statuses, most of the time people are not chatting instantly anyway, and anyone can see anything posted here whenever they want, it's not like it vanishes after a few minutes and people are eavesdropping.

So why turn it off in the first place? Surely it's a wasted click of the mouse that you could instead use to a click a which, in a way, is quite beautiful.

It's hot and it's making my nose itch."

As we are, according to some elements of the tabloid press, 'heading into a winter of power cuts', I sincerely hope so.

I'll borrow it.

It's not like you have to go into stealth mode every time you come to the site - if you've ticked the box in your profile it stays like that until you change it.

That's a fine answer, Harridan. Consider the matter closed from me.

I prefer to think people think I'm always there watching

Like God or reality TV
