Little things that irk you.. (no swearing please)

Toyota have irked me. After drooling over the FT-86 concept they turn it into a ****ty looking Hyundai.

Concept.

Mid range sports cars are all boring now. Bring back the 90s.

So, all the amazing stuff we're showing you are things that we think would be really cool if someone made them. But they haven't.

Amazing they're allowed to even broadcast that.[/QUOTE]

Thats reminded me of an irk from back in the PSone/PS2 days - screenshots on the back of their cases of footage from a high end PC version of the game, not the crappy console versions as should be

At least you didn't wake up itchy this morning.

Nothing worse than 'scratchicles' the next morning

Or looking at the back of a Speccy game in the local newsagents and seeing the inevitably disappointing "C64 version" beneath the nicest screenshots...

The C64 packaging for Strider had Amiga screenshots on the box.

The law does actually prevent that now (it's also the reason game adverts in the UK have to mark clips as 'game footage, not game footage' etc...)

I always thought the high-res screenshots on the back of PS1/2 games were just from dev kit screen grabs, similar to the sorts of screenshots that got published in magazines?

O2. I tried REALLY HARD to let them make me stay. I sent them links to better deals and asked if they could match. No. They couldn't, and not even close.

So it is bye bye to them and hello to either t-mobile or tesco (ironically, given that they use o2s bloody network!!).

It is 'representative of game footage' now. That always makes me laugh.

Ay, won't be long before someone challenges that wording.

Women and their bath products.

Like any modern metrosexual male I don't mind the odd bath soak or bubble bath (never more than once a week though or you're washing your masculinity down the plug hole) but at the moment the better half of the Spatial household seems to be bathing in what I can only surmise is the run off from one of BP's refineries.

The bath is caked in some terrible sort of greasy residue that, no matter what I do, will not come off. Even the next day. I end up having to get in, lying in this film of sludge that's coated everything and end up getting out feeling dirtier than when I went in.

And not in the good way either

[EDDIE M0NS00N]

Sounds like she's using some kind of body conditioning oil bath soak.

.................errrrr, not that I know about these kind of things mind you

Four games and a DVD box set missing in the post since 20th November. Well, I say missing but we all really know what's happened to them. Getting sick of people helping themselves to stuff I've paid for.

Dodgy posties eh!
And while we're on the subject, whatever happened to 1st Class post meaning 'arrive the following day', rather than 2 or 3 days later as it does now?

[Decider-VT]

I want compensation. By which I mean a televised burning of a crooked postie in a giant wicker pillar box as a warning to others.

We had two deliveries the other day, one of which was before 9AM. It was like travelling back in time.

Perfume/aftershave adverts. Load of wank the lot of them.
