I want to send stuff out and Royal Mail's smart stamp system is down. Grrr. Looks like I won't make today's post ¬¬

So why widen the M25 to 4 lanes costing millions and causing years of queue misery if idiots are going to refuse to use the inside lane, effectively keeping it a stretch of 3 lane road ?

Good selection of lane abusers, lorries sat in 2&3 and my personal fave being the old git who believes as they are doing 70 they are allowed to sit in the outside lane and won't budge

Yeah, useless. The French get this so right. We get it so wrong.

Interesting sign of the M1 "delays expected till 2013" ......

I don't get why a 5 lane car park is better than a 3 lane one. The on and off ramps are still the same size.

The Apprentice. What I wouldn't give for a cruise missile and co-ordinates for that house.

You would love being at my work then. It's all they tlak about, they even have a sweepstake. I declined to enter.

1. People selling things (specifically DSLRs but probably applies to all electronics) that work out it's value but seeing what they paid for it 4 years ago and knocking 20% off.

2. Idiots that actually buy said items.

Making it very difficult for me to pick up a second hand camera at all. Will probably end up buying a new one at this rate.

I love The Apprentice. Where do they dig up these people? The whole lot of them are just like pushy Dixon's employees with ideas well above their station.

Lol so true.

On the subject of people in work and TV shows...

I really can't stand people in work talking to me about some TV show and presuming that I know what the hell they're talking about.

The Apprentice is one of many that seem to be one of the shows that people presume everybody watches constantly. I've never watched it, I have no idea what the hell it's about, I don't know what day or time it's and I don't know the person who stars in it and there's no point describing him/her to me by telling me that he/she was in something else as I've more than likely got no idea what the hell that is either.

There's a massive list of these shows that people endlessly babble on about and seem to do nothing but complain how crap the show is that they're burdening me with.

Also, why the hell do we have shows that just film people working? I don't want to watch cleaners, taxi drivers, bookies, doctors, teachers, shop assistants, etc, etc going about their daily business. What ever they do, it's boring.

That's reminded me of another, Ice cream vans when the weather really doesn't call for frozen dairy products and the fact that they appear to work 12 months of the year here and some of get a bit cocky and ask you as you're passing if you want ice cream.

It's the middle of winter, it's SNOWING and you can still hear their pied piper melodies luring money out of wallets and then they make their move and they're always about 20 foot away which means you have to shout at each other...
-"WOULD YOU LIKE SOME ICE CREAM SON?"
-"NO THANKS FELLER, NOT REALLY THE WEATHER FOR IT. DO YOU HAVE ANY STEW?"
-"what...."

I've never seen it and hate Sugar with a raging hatred but there's nothing with Metty Turbos.

"I'm totally unique"

Immediate fail. Unique is an absolute. You can't be fairly unique, or quite unique, or totally unique. It's just unique.

If everyone watched a bit less banal TV and did something more useful with their evenings, they might get more fulfilment out of life. Games count as a good alternative, but again, if it's all you do, then you are missing out.

[Brats]

I watch very little TV. I just watched Mad Men last night, therefore I feel completely fulfilled.

On the subject of people in work and TV shows...

I really can't stand people in work talking to me about some TV show and presuming that I know what the hell they're talking about.

Or worse, people at work that download the latest series of whatever you've been watching on DVD and proceed to loudly talk about it during your lunch hour, revealing spoilers.

[beecee]

people trying to sell things for stupid money that were given away FREE!! (eg, magazine CD's)....

[kernow]

FS: Edge magazines, I need these cleared out as they are taking up space (£3 each, almost as much as I bought them new but I'll charge you peons that), I want these gone!!11

Well give them away then, you arse.
