    People who use a video camera who keep turning the camera around to do a close up of their own face (which is usually at a low angle because of how they hold it giving you a great view of their nostrils)

    People who feel they need to keep shifting the camera around focusing on different things, keep focusing on different people's faces and who constantly abuse the zoom function.

    Basically this video:



    Another related irk, the ride on that video is being moved to Thorpe Park next season. Does that park really need a 5th water ride?

      Teachers Pet's at work.
      Got called by a work collegue (who is up her own arse) more than once like its some kind of emergency, then found out it was all based on a small tiny tiny mistake I made, then she patronised me about it in front of everyone else who all got a good chuckle. I got a little pissed off about her actions so I made a small but true & realistic remark about the situation due to the fact that other people make our job more difficult by not doing theirs & that we're overworked & understaffed & have to rush sometimes so I dont have time to be so thorough.
      Today the manager challenged me about my comment & not only did she run to him like a teachers pet (not needed tbh) but she also lied about what I actually said. I told him exactly what I said & yes I got pretty heated with him because we are all working our arses off here while everyone else sits on their arses.

      Now do I leave it at that or possibly make the situation worse by speaking to this work collegue about what she said? I usually go to people & tell them how I feel about their actions when they do stuff like this, but I just found out that her husband is coming to work with us so if I say my piece to her, which I know she wont like, she will probably go & blub to her hubby & then I'll have to deal with a double team bout of grief, which right now I could do without

        Been in similar situations at work Tommy, and have found over time that the pragmatic approach usually works out best.

        Doesn't mean behaviour like this should go unchallenged but you're already expecting more problems from her spouse if you speak with her.

              The average day!

              'Played some games'

                Heh, I did notice. Don't expect much though, I don't tweet often.

                As for ShopTo, everything. They had the Move at a decent price, so I thought **** it and ordered through there (Using Paypal obviously, never putting my card details on that site again). Need to change the delivery address (Because I'm not going to be at the place I was originally expecting to be) and they won't let me change it because I haven't ordered from them more than twice (My account is showing 6+ purchases, not including these...).

                They helpfully advised me to change the Paypal address the NEXT time I order from them, which I politely (No, really) explained is no help at all for THIS order. Awaiting response from my "I need you to change the delivery address or I need to cancel the order" mail.

                Why don't I learn? I swore never to use them again (TWICE!).

                        Belts. One of my mates has put on quite a fair bit of weight over the last year, so he gave me this brand new Ralph Lauren 'Chaps' belt, it initially seemed really swish with a top quality, fancy metal buckle and really nice-seeming leather. Trouble is, the bastard's just split where the prong goes in, yet my ten year old leather belt (that cost a fiver or so) still works perfectly! So much for Ralph bloody Lauren clobber.

                            Going for a flat I really want then to be told a week later that despite my best efforts to secure this flat which had a lot of interest, that the current occupant decided he is going to stay another year now putting me back to square one looking for a place in Aberdeen before university starts at the end of the month!

                              More than 100 firefighters tackle a major fire at a timber-framed block of flats under construction in Hampshire.

                                Films on TV.

                                FiveUSA are showing Blade. At least, I think it's Blade as all the bloody violence has been cut! The swearing is still there, it's after the 9pm "watershed" so let me see a vampire being set ablaze by an angry man who can only do one kind of martial arts kick!

                                Balls!!
