20571 Minor rants and piss-offs MK IV Locked
Taking into account the sentiment in the OP of >>17297, time for a new thread.

My Mother is up to visit my sister and hasn't even offered to make me soup even though I'm ill. A pox on her first born ch-...wait.

It strangely pleases me that the MK I and MK II threads I created eons ago have caught on...

Anyway, hardly anything to rant about lately - people ranting is largely segregated to the work annoyances, but I guess... Any news about the royals always makes my eyes roll.

The current maintenance work on the trams in Manchester which in turn makes the train commutes even more of a hassle as you have to walk an extra 15 minutes (30 if it's crowded and people do that stupid thing where they walk slow and occasionally stop in front of you) in between Deansgate and Piccadilly station or take the Oxford road train which is less frequent than Piccadilly.

What's particularly annoying is the work is for 14 months. Sure they'll say services will resume on a reduced scale after summer holidays but everyone knows it means "no trams during your schedule".

Google forcing their Android design decisions onto desktop users.

Google maps works great on my phone. However having an enormous and mostly empty bar scroll in from the left of my PC monitor is completely pointless. It results in far more extra clicking just to save a tiny fraction of screen space.

I hate how when you're reading a hardback book the dust jacket always seems to slide out of place ever so slightly presenting a crumple risk. It might sounds like a minor issue but a decent condition dust jacket can often fetch more in value than the book itself.

I've missed the best days of Summer my corner of blighty has had so far this year, housebound with the bastard flu.

I know some supermarkets don't stock Israeli produce on protest grounds, namely Co-op, but I would imagine they grow oranges? They grow everything else it seems, half of the veg you see in Tesco is from Israel, we could get them from there.

I've just conjured the image of the man from Del Monte slipping Sajid Javid (Yes, I had to google him too) a wad of notes saying "It's ok... you don't want any of that Israeli muck."

What matters is that you are capable of doing what they want once you get your foot in the door, you just have to tick the right HR boxes to get through the newbie filter. You might need to be somewhat flexible with the truth, but don't think of it as dishonesty. Think of it as using initiative.

Affectionately called Sports Soccer or Soccer Sport in most of the circles I hang about in.

There's just SO MUCH FUCKING STUFF. You can't see the shit you're looking to buy either for all of the other shit they've got, which is not helped by the fact that the space between the shit is so small that one inconveniently-placed fatty (an altogether-too-frequent occurrence) means that you have to try to trace a whole new path around the shop. It might be easier to just ask the staff, were they not more concerned with flirting with each other and actually had any interest at all in the sports related to the shit they peddle.

20725 An oversimplified explanation
>>20724
In 32-bit land, Windows reserves the upper half of the address space for system use. With a little tweak you can shift the balance from 2:2 to 3:1. On a 32-bit system, this is the total space usable, while on a 64-bit system it's per-process.

By comparison, for 64-bit processes the address space is 48-bit, and before you hit that 256TB limit you'll more likely hit an artificial cap based on which edition you're running.

I was about to make pretty much the exact same explanation myself, but then noticed a gap in my knowledge. I'd appreciate it if you or anyone else could answer this.

I do understand the differences in RAM usage between 64 and 32-bit windows, but I can't quite understand if there are any specific issues with using a 32-bit process within a 64-bit OS. Can a 32-bit process still use its theoretical limit when the system has access to more, or am I right to assume that its RAM usage is limited by the need to run an emulator within windows?

The Martin Amis character in 'Money' and how the narrator describes him is hilarious. It's a classy '80s novel with populist appeal, one of the writer's very best.

'Bret Easton Ellis' who narrates 'Lunar Park' as an alcoholic sex addict professor who can't finish his terrible new shocking book Teenage Pussy is pretty funny too.

It is a cheap old literary device called metafiction if I remember correctly but if it's done well can be great, not crass.

It's a theme that recurs often enough to warrant a wikipedia entry of a list of books written by fictional writers that feature (often as protagonists) in his books:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fictional_books_in_the_works_of_Stephen_King
Though I'll confess that after dragging myself through some of his most famous books as a teenager (Misery, It, Salem's Lot and The Shining - all of which feature writers as protagonists, as I recall) I was pretty much done with him and his shit, irrespective of the author-surrogate-as-protagonist shtick. His writing style is just awful.

Have you ever had gypsies move in near you?

They steal. They let their dogs loose to wander in front of cars and attack people who get too close, which isn't actually close at all. If they have horses then they're usually mistreated. The kids are feral and go around committing acts of petty violence. They leave wherever they have been in an absolute state, covered in litter and human waste and it's not them that ends up footing the bill to sort it out.

I don't think anyone has ever been happy to have gypsies pitch on a green space or car park near them.

Sadly true. To put that in context; we have a thing called the Royal Welsh Show held in the summer every year. It only lasts 4 days and people will come from all around, including gypsies.

Our council has worked out due to the problems they create, it's cheaper to lease some land directly next to the show grounds in perpetuity than it is to deal with the aftermath of having them in random laybys etc for 4 fucking days.

I was once taking my favourite country road out of town and as soon as I turned onto it I hit an immediate roadblock of scruffy-looking cars parking up on both sides of the road and whole families of people getting out, there were probably in the region of 500 people that I had to negotiate my car through before I got past the cemetery they were all heading to, and then they were all gone. It was later printed in the Ull Derly Merl that there had been some gypsy grandparent that had died and travelling families had been coming from all over the country to the funeral.

I also once had a small herd of gypsy horses run out in front of my car as they appeared to be having some fun and chasing each other around the council estate the road served as a border of, which was actually quite endearing to see, but did shit me up a bit at first.

I don't mind gypsies. I was texting one recently, she was nice.

They are both words which are used to describe the Romani people. The reason the word Gypsy has negative connotations is because of it's use to describe travelling people who aren't always Romani. I pointed this out in my first post. The Sinti are, in fact, Romani. I think you might be confusing them with the arab Ashkalis, but regardless, if Gypsy is derogatory then so is Sinti and being an uppity twat about it makes you look like you're spoiling for a fight or something.

You very clearly don't have a clue what you're talking about and your reading comprehension can't even measure up to properly understanding what the person you are trying to have an argument with is saying, never mind get your point across without making a complete and utter idiot of yourself.

All over, although obviously the business has changed. The "rag and bone" trade is a thin facade for what is basically organised metal theft. White vans are inconspicuous because they're so ordinary - nobody pays any attention to some blokes in work clothes loading a van.

Going around asking for scrap obviously earns some money, but it's really just a cover for theft. An old washing machine is worth a couple of quid, but a bundle of copper pipe or a reel of cable nicked from a building site might be worth a couple of hundred.

Job centre shenanigans but sage for not posting in /job/ but I'm not asking for advice or anything just a bit of a vent.

They've made the same mistake twice. I had to get off ESA because I was no longer eligible for it due to being a student. Fine I was expecting it and told them to stop it. Two months into being a student I notice they paid me ESA and had to get onto them to ask what the fuck they were doing. They froze the payments but didn't take the money back. Brought it up with them and they told me they'll post me what I owe them. They never did.

End of the academic year I told job centre I was getting a job and would no longer be eligible for DLA and asked what ever happened to that post. Said they'll get on it. So I check my balance and they're still paying me DLA.

Do these lot want to get me done for benefit fraud or something? I can't believe they can be this incompetent.

So now I owe them roughly £900 because they fucked up. They said the last time I may be able to keep some of the money and I can pay with a payment plan rather than all at once but given their actions it may as well be a lie. I can understand if it was just the once but twice is a fucking insult.

This past weekend I have returned an item to Amazon. The package was to go via Royal Mail's "Tracked Returns 48" service. Let's start with the "48" part. To the untrained eye, in the same way that "24" means delivery within 24 hours, the "48" might mean delivery within 48 hours. I left the parcel at the local PO on Friday morning, which should mean that even if it's not collected until close-of-business, it should arrive on Monday (Sunday being a non-post day). On Monday night, Amazon still had no knowledge of me ever having sent it. Let's turn to another part of that recipe: the "Tracked" part. As of Monday night, the tracking log had a single entry on it, namely that I'd handed it over on Friday morning. No indication that it might have reached a depot, or anything like that. When they finally delivered it this morning, they eventually deigned to record it on the tracking log at around 6pm.

Could be worse. It could have gone via Yodel, in which case the box would have been garryowened over the fence at the wrong depot.

Even if we weren't living under the Tories I wouldn't ever advise you to think trying to keep a benefit overpayment was worth it. When they come after you, and you'll never know when, you want your hands completely clean. That couple of hundred quid now could cost you social security for the rest of your life. I don't know what the rules are now, but surely it's not difficult to imagine what the Tories could cook up in the future to punish you for any real or perceived moment of weakness.

You couldn't be convicted of a social security offence as long as you had notified all changes of circumstance in a timely fashion (and could evidence this - if you hit them with a DPA request you may find the particular details you need conveniently missing). You could, however, be prosecuted for the more general offence of "retaining a wrongful credit". The way out of that is to keep the erroneous funds to one side so that they can be repaid on demand. (An acquaintance of mine has managed this with Oracle when they've demanded a licence fee - the value of the fees sits in an interest-bearing account, and he'll pay up as soon as they can provide evidence that the contract exists.) Basically, you don't want their mistake of paying you too much compounded with your mistake of spending it, because theirs doesn't excuse yours.

Which is why I've tried on multiple different occasions to give the money back. It's fairly difficult to figure out how much of it belongs to them on top of the funds that is actually mine. Ask me for the money in one lump sum a few months ago and it would have been done. Now if I do that I'll be living fairly poorly for a while. I really do want to pay it back but they've constantly fucked up and now they've made this situation worse.

Apologies in advance for the long post, I'm just thinking out loud.

Twitter occasionally shows me a list of "people we think you'd like" or some such. The name of someone I have been actively avoiding for ten years just popped up, which completely freaked me out. I can't fathom how Twitter made the connection, as my account is completely pseudonymous and I don't follow anyone that I know in real life.

It might be pure coincidence, but it has brought into sharp contrast my unease about privacy in the age of big data. I'm just someone with an unhappy past that I'd rather forget; I can't imagine how frightening all this must be for someone escaping from domestic abuse or state oppression. Some of the biggest companies in the world are investing vast efforts to scrutinise every aspect of our lives, for no other reason than to sell us stuff we don't need. That's a shit state of affairs.

I don't feel angry, just sad. I feel privileged that my worst adolescent bullshit happened before the internet and cameraphones, which is absurd. I feel lucky that my teenage diaries have been recycled into bog roll rather than lingering online forever. I remember when Mhairi Black was being pilloried by the tabloids for some silly nonsense she tweeted when she was a teenager. Are we sleepwalking into a situation where we have no choice but to self-censor everything we say and do, for fear that it may embarrass us years or decades in the future?

Even if something isn't public now, it may become so in the future - just look at the Ashley Madison leak. Apparently two people have already killed themselves as a result of that leak. We joke about the panopticon, the casual "don't say that, you'll get put on a list" remarks. How long before that unease turns into a real fear, until we're all second-guessing everything we do based on how it might look when taken out of context, or viewed prejudicially?

This is a slightly silly analogy, but I remember watching an episode of House featuring a patient with a perfect memory. Her life was miserable because she remembered every petty slight, every cruel comment made in the heat of the moment. Apparently it's a real condition, hyperthesmia. I wonder if the perfect memory of the internet is doing that to society, turning us all into bitter nostalgics who can't let go of the past. In a world where nothing can ever be forgotten, can we ever forgive? Will we all become defined by our mistakes? Are we teaching future generations to live lives that are cautious and inoffensive above all else?

I don't like where we're headed, and I don't see how we can stop it.

Unfortunately, "all that shit" is almost the whole of modern society. I can choose not to carry a mobile phone so that my location isn't constantly tracked, but that would completely marginalise me - people no longer know how to make firm plans, because they expect to be able to ring you en-route. I'm not on Facebook, and know that there are parties that I don't get invited to simply because nobody can be bothered letting me know personally. If someone does arse themselves to ring me up, the photos taken at that party will be tagged with my name. We have structured our social lives around surveillance technology.

Most of the books I want to buy are only available on Amazon because of their near-monopoly, so Jeff Bezos has a comprehensive list of my reading material going back years. Even if what I want to read is available at the library, they're probably selling my lending records to marketers. When I go shopping I can choose to pay cash, but I can't opt-out of CCTV with facial recognition.

For about the fourth month in a row, EE have sent me another message claiming that my account is in arrears. This is actually correct, in that I haven't actually paid them anything. I haven't paid them anything because I set up a Direct Debit. I confirmed with them twice over the phone that it was there and linked to me account. I confirmed with the bank twice that it was there and ready to take payment. The bank have also confirmed that no transaction has been declined. The balance remains outstanding because EE are lazy pieces of shit who can't even be bothered to reach into my pockets when I've given them a fucking open invitation to do so.

Yesterday I found a bank card on the street. Instead of exploring the spending limits of contactless, looking for the billing address and/or finding somewhere that wouldn't require it I phoned to report the loss to Barclays. The third time I was asked for *my* details I found myself shouting "Do you speak English?". I can't even do a good deed without appearing the asshole. I bet it was just bad phone signal as well.

I only do this when speaking in metaphors to make a topic more relatable in order to aid comprehension.

It annoys me when people do it out of context, but I think the reason people do it is because every time something difficult has been explained to them the person who has explained it to them has used a similar system to what I do and they are trying to emulate that, but don't have the savvy to make it work.

The Times is slanted in many respects but I find it a lot mellower and to the point. The FT is still my primary non-domestic (ie. man stabs dog) news source.

Children. Specifically my own, again.

My daughter, aged five, was at the childminders yesterday, as was another girl from her class at school.

"Was it nice having someone from your class there?"

Children are naturally racist. Not being racist is the bit you have to be taught. It's an instinct to dislike someone who is visually distinctly different. This is a fact.

There was nothing racist about my post you daft prick. "I don't like her because she has brown skin" is textbook racism, the very definition.

You are correct to say there's no malice in it though. A child doesn't understand why a person having brown skin isn't a valid reason to dislike someone- In a child's mind it's only the same as not liking sprouts.

I have an application form for the union at work. It tells me I should put my forename as it appears on my payslip. After digging up my payslip I discovered that it doesn't actually show my forename at all. It just addresses me by way of "Mr R I Perrin".

Of course, I should probably have some faith that, given it's a union, it'll be handled at the other end by an actual person rather than a computer that's going to attempt to match it. That said, my workplace is rather bureaucratic so I bet even that wouldn't stop them sending it back for me to fill in again.

It's one of those "4chan things" that has somehow leaked out and penetrated culture at large. For better or worse, that website has actually had a pretty massive effect on culture in general.

As I was saying to the mate in a pub earlier, it rather puts one's life into perspective, if you are of a certain age, to think that those impact-font picture memes you see everywhere now, were once an insider kind of joke amongst users of a certain obscure image board over a decade ago. I'm sure at least a few of you lads will know this feel, as they say.

I was thinking of a sick prank where I would fabricate a fake letter from the council stating that; "The home-owner has been selected to temporarily host a refugee family, and must comply with new rules regarding the acceptance of refugees entering the UK. Duration of the stay will vary, but will be a minimum of 1 month, failure to comply with these new rules will result in fines, and names will be placed into a "name and shame" database."

Colonel: Raiden, are you receiving? We're still here.
Raiden: How's that possible!? The AI was destroyed!
Colonel: Only GW...
Raiden: Who are you?
Colonel: To begin with -- we're not what you'd call -- human.
Over the past two hundred years --
A kind of consciousness formed layer by layer in the crucible of the White House.
It's not unlike the way life started in the oceans four billion years ago.
The White House was our primordial soup, a base of evolution --
We are formless. We are the very discipline and morality that Americans invoke so often.
How can anyone hope to eliminate us? As long as this nation exists, so will we.
Raiden: Cut the crap! If you're immortal, why would you take away individual freedoms and censor the Net?
Rose: Jack, don't be silly.
Colonel: Don't you know that our plans have your interests -- not ours -- in mind?
Rose: Jack, listen carefully like a good boy!
Colonel: The mapping of the human genome was completed early this century.
As a result, the evolutionary log of the human race lay open to us.
Rose: We started with genetic engineering, and in the end, we succeeded in digitizing life itself.
Colonel: But there are things not covered by genetic information.
Human memories, ideas. Culture. History.
Rose: Genes don't contain any record of human history.
Colonel: Is it something that should not be passed on?
Should that information be left at the mercy of nature?
Rose: We've always kept records of our lives. Through words, pictures, symbols... from tablets to books...
But not all the information was inherited by later generations.
Colonel: A small percentage of the whole was selected and processed, then passed on. Not unlike genes, really.
Rose: That's what history is, Jack.
Colonel: But in the current, digitized world,
trivial information is accumulating every second, preserved in all its triteness.
Never fading, always accessible.
Rose: Rumors about petty issues, misinterpretations, slander...
Colonel: All this junk data preserved in an unfiltered state, growing at an alarming rate.
Rose: It will only slow down social progress, reduce the rate of evolution.
Colonel: Raiden, you seem to think that our plan is one of censorship.
Raiden: Are you telling me it's not!?
Rose: You're being silly! What we propose to do is not to control content, but to create context.
Raiden: Create context?
Colonel: The digital society furthers human flaws and selectively rewards
development of convenient half-truths.
Just look at the strange juxtapositions of morality around you.
Rose: Billions spent on new weapons in order to humanely murder other humans.
Colonel: Rights of criminals are given more respect than the privacy of their victims.
Rose: Although there are people suffering in poverty, huge donations are made to protect endangered species.
Everyone grows up being told the same thing.
Colonel: Be nice to other people.
Rose: But beat out the competition!
Colonel: "You're special." "Believe in yourself and you will succeed."
Rose: But it's obvious from the start that only a few can succeed...
Colonel: You exercise your right to "freedom" and this is the result.
All rhetoric to avoid conflict and protect each other from hurt.
The untested truths spun by different interests continue to churn and accumulate
in the sandbox of political correctness and value systems.
Rose: Everyone withdraws into their own small gated community, afraid of a larger forum.
They stay inside their little ponds,
leaking whatever "truth" suits them into the growing cesspool of society at large.
Colonel: The different cardinal truths neither clash nor mesh.
No one is invalidated, but nobody is right.
Rose: Not even natural selection can take place here. The world is being engulfed in "truth."
Colonel: And this is the way the world ends. Not with a bang, but a whimper.
Rose: We're trying to stop that from happening.
Colonel: It's our responsibility as rulers.
Just as in genetics, unnecessary information and memory must be filtered out
to stimulate the evolution of the species.
Raiden: And you think you're qualified to decide what's necessary and not!?
Colonel: Absolutely. Who else could wade through the sea of garbage you people produce,
retrieve valuable truths and even interpret their meaning for later generations?
Rose: That's what it means to create context.

All very good suggestions above, especially the suggestion to find a catering supplier. The latter are the only place that'll carry stainless frying-anything outside of woks, but of those you either already know what you're doing or I'd stay away.

For a more pedestrian approach I found Sainsbury's of all places sometimes has good offerings for small to mid-sized pots. Their usual range is non-stick blah or enamel faff, but once in a while they wheel out the copper-bottom things which are tough as nails and generally quite good, particularly on gas. The lids are not ideal, though. They are a glass dome with a metal rim affair which has a nasty little gap on the inside between the metal and glass which is a bugger to clean without a decent brush.

If you have a local Robert Dyas that's also worth a shot: some of their shops have a really decent selection.

My friend, who blames her problems on everyone else and doesn't take any responsibility for them.

• The reason she is working in an office job rather than in the field she did her degree in, nearly a decade after graduating, is because she never went on to do a Masters. Apparently only privileged children with parents who'll pay for the course can study for a Masters.

• Her office job pays her just shy of £20k a year and she has a very good deal on bills and her rent so she has a disposable income of nearly a grand a month. The reason she can't afford a house is solely down to the property bubble and has absolutely nothing to do with the facts that she doesn't actually save any of her money and that she only wants to consider some of the most expensive neighbourhoods in the area.

It really is an Oriental/poor nations type of mentality. I would have thought being born here and buying shite from Argos rather than an actual Bazaar would get rid of that attitude. but I was wrong.

This is partly the reason western tourists get ripped off badly when they go travelling because they never haggle. So if you visit India or Kenya or whatever, they will rip you off badly.

Passengers in first class pay disproportionately high fares, cross-subsidising the cheaper fares in standard. Business travellers with expense accounts pay grossly inflated prices for flexible tickets, while people paying from their own pocket get big discounts on advanced fares. It seems paradoxical, but the demand-based ticket pricing used by rail and air operators is effectively a redistribution of wealth.

U WOT M8?

Let's say I want to travel from Manchester to London tomorrow morning, coming back the same evening. The cheapest set of advanced tickets are £171, which I admit is bloody expensive, but we're booking a peak service at the last minute. A standard Anytime return for the same journey is £329, so even in this worst-case scenario the advanced ticket buyer is paying half the standard fare.

A first class Anytime return on the same route is £470, while the cheapest advanced off-peak fares are £40 return - a 1075% difference between the cheapest and most expensive fare on the same train.

Whether it's my ignorance or sneaky marketing - but absolutely most cuntish thing I've noticed this morning was that Amazon charged me £39 for Amazon Prime, after my free 6 months expired - and they failed to notify me.

Amazon have the best Customer Service of any online retailer I've ever seen, CeX after submitting a negative Trustpilot review come a close second though.

I ordered next day on something a while back with Amazon Logistics and it was a day late, so the refunded my P&P and gave me a £5 voucher.

When I ordered a console off of CeX and they sent me the wrong one, upon leaving a scathing review on Trustpilot they bent over backwards to help me out and gave me a £20 voucher. I had to leave that review to get it sorted it though, because WeCare don't bother their arse getting back to you half the time.

Trustpilot directly affects any bonus a store receives so it's a good way to fuck with them if you feel you're being unfairly dealt with.

You can set it not to automatically charge as soon as you start the free trial, and if you do get charged and don't want it you can get a full refund as long as you haven't used it, and if you do use it without realising you've been charged you can still get an almost full refund.

Also, those outraged by Amazon avoiding tax despite its status as a huge multinational corporation who can self-evidently afford it should note that for most of its operating history, Amazon has not been a profit making enterprise. Not that it's failing or struggling: in fact, their management and a lot of investors don't particularly care or even see profitability as a goal.

None of that means they shouldn't be subject to taxation, but as a company, Amazon is a perfect demonstration of how notions of how a business can be run, the goods and services that those businesses provide, the manner of their provision, and the scale of their operation has changed immeasurably since corporation taxes were first implemented, whilst taxation is still thought of in roughly the same way it was in the early 20th century.

That's a good deal of the reason why HMRC has difficulty getting these companies to pay tax. It's like trying to catch a giant squid with a fishing rod, because it always worked with trout.

And it's absurd to rely on a) a reaction occurring and b) companies responding to it. The only "incentive" that matters is the law. It beggars belief that there are people out there who are surprised that a company which can pay less tax without breaking the law elects to do so.

Well, yes. The only incentive to not avoid it is if they're willing to take the risk of a mass boycott, the risk of which is essentially nothing since Amazon is most people's default online supplier. 100,000 stop using Amazon. So what? Most of them will never use it anyway. Anyone who uses it heavily will continue using it.


But yes, the long and the short of it is there's no reason to not try and avoid tax.

To expand on this, Amazon were historically a high turnover, low profit operation. Revenues were ploughed back into the business to drive its aggressive growth, which meant very little was left over as profit to be distributed. They have turned this around in recent years, with AWS proving to be the main driver of profit, but also with their actual product sales being more profitable than they once were - their margins are no longer as razor-thin as they used to be, and they're shifting much larger volumes than they have done previously.

The reason people label them as cunts is that they could have done all this in the UK and still legitimately paid very little tax until they were making decent profits on their operations here. Indeed, they were probably the only firm that could have done this without having to dodge anything. Instead, they've arranged this legal fiction that you're buying from a company in Luxembourg, and effectively created artificial losses in their UK operation. Tax isn't supposed to be voluntary. Your average man on the street does not get to choose whether he pays his taxes or how much - it's taken from him before he ever sees it.

That's not really true. The main reason for their incorporation in Luxembourg was to enjoy lower rates of VAT on many transactions. Luxembourg charged just 3% VAT on eBooks and 8% on many other digitally-delivered goods, so until the introduction of the place of supply rule, Amazon customers were saving an enormous amount on VAT. Until 2012, Amazon were also shipping many items from Jersey to take advantage of the low-value consignment relief, avoiding VAT altogether on physical goods worth less than £18.

Voicemail spam. I used to use Mr Number to cycle the line on junk calls, but the latest version doesn't seem to do that any more. Instead it just rejects them, leaving me with a ten-second voicemail (often along the lines of "or press 9 and the bank will keep your compensation") that I then have to call up and delete if I don't want to render the voicemail indicator completely useless.

House cats are really needy and tend to be far more affectionate, and will risk it in the hopes of getting some attention.

What he needs to do is start thinking like a cat. Claim the space as his by showing dominant behaviour over the space, shoving her off without initiating verbal communication or making eye contact. Eventually the cat will start perching nearby and only coming over when you initiate eye contact and give a verbal cue.

Cats can't be trained, as such, but they can learn.

Keep coming across lasses I knew at school on Tinder. The ones who haven't turned into munters haven't matched me.

I also hate how small this app makes the world feel. People I would think of as total strangers actually move in pretty close circles to me, sometimes overlapping friend groups in ways that I would never expect which makes me feel slightly nervous and socially inadequate.

You've bought 4 at the same time, hence they've almost certainly came from the same box from the factory which was filled in one go. Of course you've got 4 from the same batch, it would probably be weirder if you had 4 different batches.

Traditional wisdom (which may or may not be cargo-cult thinking) is that you should use disks from different batches, which should have different failure characteristics, which would make it less likely that multiple disks would fail at the same time in the same manner.

So you're just going to block every bog in the fucking hotel, you inconsiderate bastards?

It really winds me up when people can't accept that they might have to break up their routine when in a foreign country. Especially Americans considering that, regardless of the destination, they have invariably shipped more or less their entire culture ahead of time, leaving inconsequential bollocks like toilet paper the only change they'll encounter, but oh no, that just won't do.

True, but that doesn't mean every image macro is a meme. Is putting a caption on a picture of yourself before going 'HURR I'M A MEME' really a meme if the image is never used again/forgotten 5 minutes later?

Yeah, image macros are memetic, but the content may not necessarily be so.

My ears are blocked again and it fucking hurts. I have an appointment to get them syringed, which is nice as back home I would not be allowed to simply ask for and receive such treatment as there's one district nurse in the whole city able and willing to do it. In the meantime, I've been trying to do what I can with Otex and olive oil to soften the wax.

That was until I found these two articles on what actually dissolves ear wax:
http://dx.doi.org/10.12968/bjon.2007.16.13.24247
http://dx.doi.org/10.1017/S0022215113002375
Which both make it blatantly fucking obvious that olive oil (#2 in the attached picture - a is 30 minutes, b is 3 hours and c is 24 hours) does fuck all in spite of being the go-to ear drop of the NHS, and nor does urea hydrogen peroxide (off-the-shelf Otex ear drops and #5 in the picture).

I do despair, lads. I just want my ears to clear up.

I have seen people with the skin tone the same as a plaster. After moving to the south Lancashire suburbs, I realised that people here are genuinely like the extras and minor characters from a Peter Kay show. Most of the time when I go to Asda, there will be at least one bloke in his 70s wearing a velour tracksuit unzipped down to his bellybutton with a gold chain and medallion, who must spend at least an hour every day on a sunbed to maintain that level of Oompa Loompa tan.

As long as the rim isn't lunched, the broken spokes can be replaced and the wheel re-trued. Find a scruffy little local bike shop and they should have you up and running for about a tenner.

The wheels are baby-smooth steel, which is a right pain when they are wet, as it has like 10% traction when braking. I don't want to die because it drizzled a bit.

The rear wheel is going to turn lop-sided at some point. The spokes spread the load out evenly, and even a few will eventually fail.

So with these two points, I've decided to get rid of it altogether. Since it's a 80's Peugeot touring bike, it still has a lot of life left in it - but it does need to have some parts replaced.
I know this bloke who know his shit through and through when it comes to fixing bikes. None of these Evans/halfords cowboys would compare. He said it's going to cost £50 in total.

Took a cab home after meeting some people after work. The fare was a fiver and some change, and I didn't have a note smaller than a twenty, so I reach in my pocket to make the change, not wanting a fuckload of shrapnel, and as I reached forward across the passenger compartment of this seven-seater, I see that the driver hasn't stopped the meter and another 20p ticked over. He didn't look happy, handed back three fivers and left in a hurry. I got the last laugh. I live in a gated apartment complex, and in his haste to leave he backed up and twatted the post with the fob reader on it (similar to pic) at some speed, smashing one of his rear windows in the process.

It doesn't really matter whether it's rented or not. Specific types of work, including any electrical work around a bath or shower, need to be professionally certified. If it's not certified properly you're pretty much fucked.

For a DIYer, the process of getting this type of work certified involves notifying the building control authority before you start, and after you finish the work needs to be inspected and testing by a professional.

Certain types of electrical work are fine to do yourself, but it can be a bit of a grey area in rented properties. Having said that, the alleged "professionals" who did up my flat before I moved in, installed a hardwired towel-heater in the bathroom and left a 13A fuse on 3A cable.

I haven't seen a single post on Facebook saying eskimos are offended by poppies, but I've seen dozens of posts 'debunking' it and calling it out as bullshit. Is it an urban legend that people actually post about eskimos finding poppies offensive?

There was a group who shall remain nameless mostly because the wordfilters will render it futile who made a big thing about claiming that the poppy was offensive, and I remember a couple of far-right and extreme Zionist groups saying something like it a couple of years ago. I've no idea whether Britain First are saying anything like it, and don't really care enough about them to check, but I daresay that some of their people will be saying it on the doorstep, just as one Nicholas J Griffin and his followers used to.

Bought something from Argos, and the decrepit bint at the till insisted that it doesn't come with batteries, so she assertively pointed out a 2 for 1 offer on Energise batteries (I fucking hate Energise, Duracell Lithium all the way) - and I needed to get home so I didn't want to argue with this human vestige of the last century.

I shell out 4 quid on these batteries, and lo and behold I come home to find the appliance fucking does come with cunting batteries, despite the lying old bat's insolent insistence.

I need to waste more time getting this shit returned, because I don't use batteries at home, bar the alarm clock and my bike lights. It's little things like this that turn me into a mental autist.

There is a pretty reliable method to getting free* batteries from Argos.

Go to the till, pay for your sawdust furniture, and get some batteries. *This requires an initial outlay. Then, take your ticket up to your designated counter. The batteries will also be on the ticket, so the idiot will give you some more.

Someone will probably start a cunt off tomorrow morning for me even suggesting this, but you could try and join the Army, get sent to Germany and fuck hookers for a 4 year stretch. You'll come back a changed man.

Although, my mate who inspired this advice was only 18 when he did this and was deployed in Afghanistan for a bit and had to kill a few people. Had to bayonet one of them and he still had dreams about the noise the guy made while he died a few years later. He was definitely better with the ladies and at life in general though when he came back, it teaches you how to be organised and sculpts your body. Just don't become dependent on the structure it provides. Worst he got out of it was some hazing to begin with and the afore mentioned PTSD dreams about death rattles.

I think he is over them now, we don't talk about it, but he has turned into a massive racist since he left which I think is par for the course due to the way they train you to dehumanise the enemy.

There is a pond outside my flat, and there was a duck war one morning around 5 am. A good few people stood at their balconies watching these noisy fuckers claim territory and/or rape each other. Ghastly things. Speaking of ducks, they are kind of terrible animals - I considered getting a slingshot and taking out a few at night, but that seems a bit extreme.

I would fall asleep almost everyday on the bus ride home from college. The way I would nod off must have made me look like a smack head.

Anyway, one winter, in the dark, I fell asleep, but when I woke up I had no idea where I was. I assumed I'd missed my stop. So I off ran off the bus, but immediately realised I'd been 5 minutes into a 50ish minute bus ride.

I don't like that comic, or rather the way it gets used against people. I do know some non-cunts - admittedly not many, but I do know some. People who are infuriatingly reasonable, who pause to think before commenting on a complex subject, who take great pains to recognise both sides of the argument and find common ground. Most of them are Quakers, as it happens.

I think that the sentiment "don't get any ideas about being better than everyone else" often subtly transmutes into "everyone is a cunt, so don't bother trying or give anyone credit for trying". Some people really are gentler, more sensitive and more reasonable than you'd have any right to expect.

It's exceedingly difficult to find people who are willing to deliberate on both sides of an argument, this probably has something to do with the level of polarisation within politics today. There's some level of bias within everyone and you're just naturally inclined to think the way your ingroup does.

When you are discussing a controversial topic, it's often wise to think about how things have actually been playing out rather than try to force an idealised point of view on everyone. A pragmatic evidence based approach is probably the best way to tackle these things.

Google is mostly unhelpful.

Searching for the whole term leads to various menus with no extra information. "Achanak" means "suddenly" and "handi" is a type of clay cooking pot.

Agreed. Not even at the kids themselves, they're probably mostly innocent in their weight gain, but I think their parents should be done with child abuse.

Harsh, but I'm sick of seeing fat kids. There was one fat kid in my primary school 20 odd years and now I can barely knock one out from the guest bedroom window any more at home time. It's rather frustrating.

You have to read between the lines with this one.

And given them jobs elsewhere?

>Scrapped military equipment
That could have saved soldiers' lives?

>Ignored homeless ex-servicemen
Can't really argue with that can you.

At the very least this image is not completely incompatible with a view we should spend less on the military. I for one think we should have a smaller armed forces, but I also think we should retrain and provide proper aftercare for soldiers who leave, and properly equip the ones who stay.

Those BuzzFeed "articles" where they say "X amount of reasons you shouldn't go to Y". I remember in year 1 or 2 when a mate of mine first discovered sarcasm and would use it at every available opportunity, followed by a snot bubble guffaw at his own hilarity, and I'm actually a little bit amazed that something that was tiresome to the majority of 5 years olds I knew is somehow entertaining to adults.

In the restaurant trade, Saturday is generally the busiest day of the week, and in extreme circumstances the takings on Saturdays subsidise the rest of the week. They do deals like this to encourage people through the doors on quieter days, and since it probably doesn't include the drinks they'll still be getting paid for the higher-margin items.

Be aware that if they're a buffet-style place, you'll probably want to go on a Friday or Sunday.

People who don't know how to clean, but feel all smug when they "do the cleaning". It's almost like they believe cleaning to be a set of magic incantations, going through a set of prescribed mysterious gestures and using arcane potions and implements to weave a Spell of Cleanliness handed down through the generations, with no understanding or inkling that there might actually be a purpose to the whole thing.

I appreciate that you waved the sponge at the pot and then placed it on the drying rack. What I do not appreciate is that there's still fucking bits of food stuck on the fucking thing. Why did you even bother? Oh, and no, you did not "only use the inside for cooking, so the outside shouldn't need cleaning" you autistic twaddle nosed dolphin. That frying pan? No, you gormless pile of rancid camel cum, it's not meant to have an oily sheen to it so, yes, you may have to use some god damn fucking soap to clean it. Oh, you "cleaned" the cooker (a glass top electric affair)? You used a wet rag and did three swipes across it. Notice how all you achieved is to evenly distribute the crap you spilled on it? No, of course you didn't you useless twerp. You'll get to it later and just want to let it soak? Sure, but why in the blithering fuck did you think that stewing the wooden implements for hours on end would be a good idea? Indeed, I can't understand either why the get warped or look minging so quickly; one of life's great mysteries, for sure.

That would be really difficult. Basically I'm after a certain film camera, this chain of shops has an online second hand section where I spotted an amazing deal. After I called, and spoke to the manager, he assured me he'll save it for today (I was in work yesterday, so I couldn't do the payment over the phone). I called again today, the manager isn't in, so some of his other staff picked up. They told me it was sold, and there was no note to keep it. I was fucking livid, as this camera was going for £80 when they are easily £250 in good condition on Ebay.

Now I'm just writing a pointless email to the boss telling how disappointed I am at the lack of communication amongst his staff. But come on, for fucks sake...

No offence at all to the courier, had I known I would've appreciated the courtesy. As is, I reviewed the T&S at amazon and discovered that "trouble with order" means "give your number to all and sundry so they can call you when delivery gets tricky"; I do not at all blame the person in the van who tried to call.In a nutshell, my trouble was this: the terms they show when you enter a mobile number speak of trouble with your order, which I naively assumed meant trouble with amazon, and in fact meant "any kind of friction between you ordering and you receiving the item".

On that note, fuck every mail order service that doesn't give me an option for delivery service. I can trust Royal Mail to get there eventually, DPD and FedEx are normally reliable, Yodel... build rapport with the drivers and you're OK, but that's asking a lot apparently. I don't earn a lot, but when I do order stuff nothing scares me more than "free delivery".

Speaking of Amazon, anyone else think they've gotten really shit lately? Mostly since they changed the minimum amount for free delivery to £20, but also because of these bloody "add-on" items that you can't order individually. The majority of the time now, anything I want is cheaper on eBay.

I always remember the ones where they had something dressed up all in layer upon layer of luxury, much like the M&S adverts, and then some common as muck (northern, because the only way to portray common as muck on TV is a thick Lancastrian accent) person budging onto the screen and going "Ohhhhhh I dooooon't want all that luxxreh, a jus wont summat wot wuuurks!

Order add-on item.
Pre-order something due out in a couple of months.
Wait for add-on item to ship.
Cancel pre-order.

I'm a little more annoyed that one of their "hot" Black Friday deals amounts to around £20 off their usual selling price, which itself was around £50 off the RRP. Naturally they're pitching it as "£70 off" which I think is a little misleading in context.

I live above a bookies so I always have pissheads hanging about outside. They're not too much of a problem and they don't make much noise nor ask me for money.

However in being courteous little social parasites they use the bins - this means the recycling is always overflowing come bin day. Its a problem that could easily be avoided if the council would pay them for cans and bottles but no, that would probably be unethical and they would have trouble contracting it out to a private company for a grossly inflated value.

It's not quite as mental as all that, but I agree I didn't explain myself properly.
I exaggurated a little, I only meant one post in particular. I can't point out which one it is because that would be giving too much away, but it was one I looked at and thought "If I was trying to spot repeat posters, this guy would fool me into thinking he was a really stupid version of me, with the references he's using."

So I don't think he's waging a campaign of deception pretending to be me. It's more just I hope people don't mistake me for him.

Ordering a takeaway earlier, I gave the following instruction:
>Phone when you arrive as I can't open the gate from the flat and the intercom doesn't work.

When I went down to open the door, the delivery driver says:
>I had to wait for someone to let me in, and I tried the intercom but it didn't work.

Even better, when I got the food up to the flat, the driver called me again:
>Can you let me out please?
Somehow he's failed to work out what that big fuck off button next to the gate is for. He then somehow fails to understand when I explain the purpose of the big fuck off button.

Hostellad here. Went to throw some clothes into the hostels laundry used for sheets and stuff. Open the washer and there is a load of washing in it. Being a charitable soul (and having fuck all to do at the moment, I helpfully hang up a dozen sheets on the lines. Rather than put my stuff in, when there are two loads of sheets left I thought I would make the cleaners life easier by running another load through, as I am not in too much of a rush for my clothes. I then walk to the closet which contains, literally, a large open bag of washing powder, a broom and a bundle of old rags that I assume are waiting to be ceremonially burnt on the beach. The door was locked. THERE IS NOTHING OF VALUE IN THAT FUCKING CLOSET, WHY BOTHER LOCKING IT?

Try and do a good deed lads, and see what happens.

I ate as slowly as I possibly could, the last few bites were positively cold. That was half an hour ago and you still have half your meal left on your plate because you haven't stopped talking. Oh you're going to take a sip of your wine- no, you're just going to wave the glass about a bit to emphasise some point you're making, then put it down undrunk, still talking, talking... I'm full and bored and I want to leave, I don't even know what you're telling me about as it's too loud in here and you interrupted me every time I tried to ask you to speak up because whatever you're on about is clearly more important than me being able to hear it.

The big supermarkets are constantly getting grief for screwing farmers on milk prices, even though they pay well over the odds for milk. They can't do right for doing wrong.

The others are paying the going rate. That includes Arla and First Milk, who are farmer-owned co-operatives. The supermarkets pay much more than they have to, essentially as a PR-driven act of charity.

Your "at cost" argument applies only to the least efficient farms with the smallest herds. Well organised dairy farmers with large herds are selling milk profitably. The inescapable fact is that we have too many dairy farmers producing too much milk.

The general public's inability to use roundabouts in general is /101/worthy. I live on one of those Home Alone-style shit housing developments with twisty streets and tiny gardens and boring middle-class white people. We're connected to a main road by a roundabout and the other side of it is a retail park. The number of people who don't bother indicating right, that must just assume that the exit for the housing estate doesn't matter because they're *obviously* leaving the retail park to go back towards the motorway, is the reason I poo blood.

They're in financial advice. I know that demand outstrips supply at the moment, but if I'm specifically looking for jobs around Wakefield and the outskirts of Leeds then there's no point ringing me about jobs in Hull, the other side of Holmfirth and around Sheffield/Donny.

I heard back about one of the jobs I'm interested in - recruitment consultant emailed me at half 1 to ask if I could call him before 2 to discuss the job, as he's finishing early and is off all next week. I didn't see the email until around 3.

Nature documentaries that say more about the humans filming them and their absurd narrative bias than the subjects themselves.

Some beautiful footage of snow wolves has just been ruined by a popular cameraman constantly referring to a wolf pack on a reserve as his 'family'. Dramatic music, dishonest editing, and the painful over-sentimentality strip it of any informative value, and it ends up peddling a deeply biased understanding of the natural world.

I don't want to sounds like some sort of cunt but people who buy (and offices who stock) rubbish tea get my goat. It just baffles me that someone will forgo such an essential luxury for a few extra pennies and the fact that they can seem so nonchalant about their impoverished lifestyle is infuriating.

Now I can hardly ask someone to put 2 tea bags in mine when I'm a guest and if I start carrying teabags in my pockets people might think I'm a bit touched. So I sit there with a fake grin on my face 'oh, this is some lovely tea. If you close your eyes and you can almost imagine you are drinking from a dehumidifier!'

Half a landfill's worth of tags, stickers, clips, cardboard, stuffing etc attached to an M&S shirt received for Christmas and five minutes of my time wasted taking all that shit off so I can put it on.

Lad.

Anyway, my grievance at the moment is if I try to buy something for, say, £7.33 and I give the person at the till a £10 note plus 33p in change. I'm making their lives easier so they can simply give me three £1 coins as change instead of having to fanny about finding 67p but some shop staff find this utterly bewildering.

I give the exact change too but have never experienced mystification from till staff. Sometimes they wanna get rid of change so cashing up is easier at the end of the night you know, so you aren't necessarily making their life easier.

Fucking Firefox's new update autocompletes the plain domain name first in the address bar, and most commonly used one second. So if I want to browse to /*/, I have to type bri then press arrow down twice before it gets to /*/ instead of simply typing bri then pressing the return key as I used to be able to. If I visit a sub part of a website more often than I go to its homepage why the fuck would you make it automatically go to the homepage? Fucking autistic programmers.

This shit on Facebook

>Happy New Year 2016, don't like having a large number of "friends" on Facebook that I don't actually know. My circle is small, and in fact, I do not accept some when they request. Others I've deleted over time, due to the way they do things and some inappropriate comments. So, I have chosen the best solution. I am happy to have you because you are among my best of Thee Best. Now I am going to see who will take the time to read this post until the end. I'm curious to see who takes care of the BOND that I'm trying to create. Thank you for being a part of my life. Copy and paste this onto your page, PLEASE DO NOT 'share'. This is a little test, just to see who reads and those who share only without reading! If you have read everything, select 'like' and then copy and paste into your profile, so I can put a comment 'smile.' To copy just touch the post and when the word copy pops up, touch it and go to your status and tap till it says paste. Thank you.

Be more active about reaching out to people. Facebook allows you to complacently graze on your social life, which I think is bad news for everyone involved.

Unless you're excluded anyway - the social group I was a part of (am now on the fringes of) simply started their own private chat there, didn't include me and started organising all their get togethers via that - so it's no different that way. If anything it's worse as I get to see all the "look at what a good time you weren't a part of!" photos and public circlejerking afterwards.

Of course, that's more to do with me being a massive cunt that they understandably wanted out of the way than anything of Facebook's fault.

Where it can be good is getting to know greater numbers of online acquaintances better and potentially becoming actual friends. At least if like me you really can't be arsed with instant messaging.

My all time favourite chain-status was one that ended its demand that you share with a "remember rules are rules" next to a smiling Tweety from looney tunes. The absurdity of it was awe-inspiring.

I can't hate them though, even at its worst my facebook news feed provides a nice release of momentary outrage which I assume is unhealthy but there is a reason they call anger addictive. Although unlike you lads I mostly use facebook as an interest aggregate these days for when I'm having a poo, try liking a few pages for their articles -I'm quite fond of the magazine Foreign Policy.

Last night I ended up with a Cambodian girl and went back with her to a hotel". I said, Fair play, you did use a rubber, didn't you

So apparently at some point in the recent past, Google decided that you can't use your home and work addresses in Maps without turning on their new firehose history setting. They'll still have those addresses, and you can see and edit them in Maps, and Now will still give you routes and times, so clearly the feature still works without Web History, you're just not allowed to use it.

If you're not paying for a service then you're not the customer, you're the product. Google make money through advertising. The more data they can gather, the more valuable their ad space becomes.

For a while, Google could afford to be relatively subtle in their quest for personal data, because the business was growing at such an outrageous rate. Bit by bit, the shareholders are turning the screw and demanding even greater profits. When you don't charge your customers anything, greater profit means more intrusive tracking and advertising.

Services like Google Now are intended to increase our tolerance for tracking by directly coupling the quality of service to the quantity of data we hand over. Google don't give away Android to phone manufacturers out of altruism - they recognised that smartphones are a goldmine of personal information.

What this means is I can't ring my bloody dealer now. Been using the mrs phone for that (hey, she smokes too so it's fine).

So I decided I'd just have to go old school and go to my city's place where all the dealers hang out. Did this successfully only a few weeks back. This time, they've got a bunch of plod everywhere and you can't score a weed. Fucking cunts.

I guess I might bang on the neighbours door and ask if he can sort it out. Once saw him out back of the building when we were both meeting dealers at the same time.

I've been offered a job, £10k more than I'm on at the minute, but the recruitment consultant sent it in a semi-threatening e-mail, warning me not to tell my employer about it in case they make a counter offer. The offer was only made yesterday evening and he keeps calling me, being extremely pushy, saying that the company want me to make a final decision now and if I can't commit today then they'll retract the offer and give it to someone else. I called his bluff on that one and now they're wanting a decision on Friday, by which point I'll have the counter offer back from my current employer.

I fucking hate recruitment consultants, an absolute shower of bastards.

I wasn't originally intending to accept the counter offer. At first I just wanted to see what they could come up with, but the recruitment consultant behaving like such a knob (I forgot to mention that he gave me the wrong time for the interview and I went there an hour early) is pushing me towards staying put for now. If I can get such a better offer in just three weeks of job hunting then I may just bide my time for a bit and see what else is out there.

It's just not on. Earlier I was watching the BBC and they didn't even call the Royal family a pack of freeloading swine, in outrage I switched to Sky where they were having a chat about Cameron. Well, you can imagine my astonishment when they didn't conclude the discussion by advocating tying him up and putting him in a wooden barrel, like what you'd see in a pirate film, and proceeding to spit into the barrel until it filled to the brim and the, then former, PM would drown. In spit.

Fortunately I'm but a wee child, so I can be forgiven for having such a pathetic reaction to someone disagreeing with me. But can you imagine an adult doing the same? Can you imagine? Can you? I'm sure someone can. Yes, I'm sure they can.

Proverbs and metaphors about fruit. Why do they make so little sense?
Standing around like a lemon.
Going bananas.
Pick up a sesame seed only to lose a watermelon.
A strange land is a bilberry; one's own land is a strawberry.
Don't call me a little olive until you've picked me.
It is the softness of the lime that is fatal to the bird.
An ant guarding a mango.
Avoid suspicion: when walking through your neighbor's melon patch, don't tie your shoe.
Someone once threw me a small, brown, hairy kiwi fruit, and I threw a wastebasket over it until it was dead.
Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
If you had teeth of steel, you could eat iron coconuts.
He who eats cherries with gentlemen risks getting the pips in his nose.
In the olive grove, a wise man at the feet and a wild man at the head.
A woman and a cherry are painted for their own harm.

If you get a lot of parcels, the best investment you can make is a cheap CCTV camera. I bought a Wifi camera off eBay for about £30. The motion detection feature sends me a notification when someone walks up my driveway, so I often get to the door before the driver does.

The camera paid for itself after a driver from one company chucked a parcel over my hedge. I sent the video to their PR department and they sent me a letter of apology and a £50 M&S voucher.

The flowers do fade, and wanton fields
To wayward Winter reckoning yields:
A honey tongue, a heart of gall,
Is fancy’s spring but sorrow’s fall.


- The Nymph's Reply, Sir Walter Raleigh, 1600.

Before the 16th century the period was known simply as harvest, then we had the spring of the leaf and the fall of the leaf. Your ignorance is showing.

I know we used to use fall too. The point is we had the sense to make up a better word. We should get rid of spring too, preferably it would be replaced with something with silent letters. Knob.

If anything we should be dragging them back out to deep sea. Ecologists are starting to believe that a single whale carcass slowly sinking to the ocean floor and decomposing as it sinks, actually has some massively important effects on the seas ecosystem.

Most people do when they encounter insanity. The idea gender is a social construct is probably the most absurd thing to happen to society in the last 25 years. This is someone playing special snowflake. We really must stop labeling personality as gender. This person has a gender it was the one dictated by their chromosomes, there is no ambiguity about that, but society seems obsessed with denying this perfectly obvious point. I don't even believe your genitals should have an affect on how you are treated or how you behave in society but to say you are non-binary, unless you were born with out genitals or an hermaphrodite is the equivalent of saying 2 and 2 equals 5.

I know at least two blokes who have, in their very early 20s, decided that they would rather be ladies. Neither of them were even outwardly gay before they had their big coming-out moment. To me it's fascinating, like watching a car crash in slow motion. A lot of people will get tattoos in their early 20s that they'd rather forget about by the time they reach 50, but I feel that lopping of your penis and ingesting hormone cocktails for several years will be slightly more difficult to ignore.

This is why more often than not, they end up committing suicide (I think it's at least over 50% who do).

I've known a few trannies over the years, and they were lovely people. Stable, happy and able to make good decisions though? No, they weren't. They need mental help, not surgery. I think it's really quite sad that more isn't offered.
Of course I don't think the operations should be banned or anything like that. But I don't think the first reaction of everyone in the media should be "so brave, well done, go for it!" etc. Could easily push someone to make the wrong decision when what they really need to do is some soul searching. Maybe they need help with that soul searching. That's what should be offered.

We used to give trans people psychotherapy rather than sex realignment therapy, but they killed themselves even more often. Hormone treatment is far more important than surgery. Whether you agree with the theory or not, it's the best evidence-based treatment available for gender dysphoria.

Our evidence base isn't as strong as we'd like, but there are ethical and practical barriers to performing RCTs. Our current treatment approach is far from ideal, but it's the best we have. What we really need is more clinical evidence and less social stigma.

Its a cliché complaint but that only serves to highlight how nonsense it is to continue doing this like I'm supposed to be a mind reader.

Cursive should be banned and all notes must be written in block capitals for the time being.

Forgive the link address but something that shocked me recently was a questionnaire designed for children that asked them to define their gender from a list of options.

Fair enough but the options included ridiculous categories like 'tomboy' as if a woman who likes to play football is somehow no longer a woman. It makes me wonder if this whole movement is actively harming people and only serving to enforce gender stereotypes.

Yes basically the 90s science wars and now SJW instead of leading to a situation of 'gender doesn't matter to who you are as an individual' to 'gender is hyper important, and *is* your personality'.

The school run is so fucking bullshit. You can tell by looking at the lazy fat slags littering the sides of the road in their spawn wagons that they don't work, why the fuck can't they just get their fat fucking arses out of bed 10 minutes early and walk their kids to school? oh thats right, if you dont hurry back you'll miss jezza!

I live a 35 minute drive away from my work, which turns into 55 minutes thanks to these lazy fucking toads turns into 55 minutes. I'd happily take public transport if it didn't turn that 55 minutes into an hour and 20 because fuck bus routes, they dont avoid the morning traffic, they fucking help make it.

A simple solution would be to make a subway system but oooh no, that won't happen. not when there's useless fucking tramp-riddled libraries that the internet has made completely fucking obsolete and vanity project railway stations full of rat infestations to build. efficiency can go and fuck itself, there's no money in providing poor sods a means of getting from A to B in a timely fashion. but a high speed rail system no one can afford and nobody wanted? WHERE DO I SIGN!?

Boston, MA has an amazing subway system. I've used it extensively over the past few years and for $2 a pop you can get from Salem to Braintree, that's almost 40 fucking miles for the same price (or under) as a sausage roll and can of coke. A fucking Daysaver that you might use to travel 14-16 miles total (based on getting to work and back) in Birmingham costs £4.40.

I've lost where i was going with this. but fuck getting to work in the morning. I miss being unemployed. at least when I was picking lint out of my bellybutton and wanking to ferns tits on GMTV I wasn't tempted to run over jobsworth lollipop ladies and take off passenger doors because mum decided she wanted to park like a cunt while she dropped off the spawn and decided to have a chat to her playground mates.

I had to go to the library today to print out something ready for my new job. In three years the only other things I've had to print were my CV and resignation letter, but at this point I've handed in badge and am therefore locked out of the old office.

I asked at the desk how much the printing was and they said "20p a page". I set about printing the form. Three sides of A4. Let's see if we can't duplex this, shall we? "This will cost you 80p. Continue? Yes/No" What the shit? I ask again, and they explain that by "20p a page" they mean that they charge per side, and that the print driver had presumably inserted the extra blank so that the second sheet would come out facing the right way. I sent the document again but this time one-sided. "This will cost you 60p."

In summary, the library, run by the council, who are facing ambitious recycling targets and will happily throw a shitfit if you put the wrong bag in the wrong bin, and are facing sharp cuts to their budgets, charge library users more to use less paper. Those 20ps and extra sheets must add up.

You wouldn't bitch so much about if they didn't build it and 10 years from now the west coast mainline is at capacity, and if you don't want want it to be like that, you should have started building a new train line 5-6 years before hand.

One of my external HDDs has decided to have a shitfit. Windows simply doesn't want to acknowledge the volume's existence, and various utilities simply lock up when it gets plugged in. Hooking it up to a Linux machine shows read errors in all kinds of random sectors, which suggests that it's the controller rather than medium that's knackered. Unfortunately, it appears that for the last couple of years WD have given up on shipping disks in enclosures and are instead soldering the fuckers directly to a USB controller. It's within warranty, so I don't want to tear the thing apart, but naturally if I send it off I am only going to get a blank one back. Thankfully, for the critical stuff it was a redundant copy, and the rest is stuff I've downloaded relatively recently so should be able to replace if I can't recover.

The main fanbase of the show is teenage girls because it's 'lolrandom' and quirky. It's effectively the millennial equivalent of a lass with a Jack Skellington bag as they're obsessed with Tim Burton because it's kookie and they want to show they're a little bit ker-azee.

It was popular amongst men and women of university age, and since time has passed, those men and women are now tax paying parents.

>It was popular amongst men and women of university age, and since time has passed, those men and women are now tax paying parents.

The only males I knew over the age of twenty who liked it at the time were using it as a way to get into the knickers of girls in their mid-teens because they had no chance with girls of their own age. University students should never be used as a barometer of taste.

>That's because fans of absurdist comedy are coming into cash and positions of authority now.

Are you seriously trying to say that surrealism and alternative comedy only hit the mainstream with The Mighty Boosh? Ohhhhh, teenlad. Deary, deary me.

Are you sure you're not autistic? The Mighty Boosh may have been popular in your circle of friends but that doesn't mean it was popular with the whole country; I believe autistic people are unable to grasp matters such as that.

No, angrylad, otherlad is right. The Boosh was popular with "the youth" when it was airing. I'm not sure about what age ranges but they were the same people who were watching Spongebob. It may not have been popular in your circle of friends, but... I believe you were saying something about autism?

Here's a minor rant for you.

Had a few weeks and months where people, completely unrelated in life kept telling me I looked very much like James Mcavoy.

One day it randomly stopped until he popped up in a film we were watching at the cinema (possibly Xmen?) and then never got said again.

It did wonders for my ego.

Put down a preliminary bombardment of Raid at dawn. Give it a thorough blast, a full can if necesarry, shut the door, and leave it an hour. Send in a fast scouting party and open the window to ventilate. Give it another hour to be sure, then it should be safe to occupy the trenches- There won't be a German spider left alive.

Because it was relatively infrequent in WW2 and is commonly associated with WW1 by just about everybody in every aspect.

In fact, your Wikipedia link literally says :

>Trench warfare has been infrequent since the end of World War I. When two large armoured armies meet, the result has generally been mobile warfare of the type which developed in World War II


I'm not saying it didn't happen in WW2 but the synonymity and association with it doesn't really seem cogent to me, nor I imagine would it many other people.

To put the argument to rest, chaps, I was more going for a WW1 analogy, mostly because of the chemical warfare involved. Also because generals famously believed, to their cost, that they would eaily be able to walk into German trenches without opposition after a severe bombardment, which turned out not to be true.

It'll kill most of them, basically, but you're going to have to be prepared to bayonet a few of the blighters when they come crawling dazed and shellshocked from their dugouts.

There were trench systems, yes, but they were not synonymous with World War 2, the original point.

Not to be condescending, but do you know what synonymity is / means?

Nobody is denying that they happened in World War 2 but it genuinely irks me away from the computer that there's somebody presumably educated in Britain that hears trenches and isn't able to differentiate between the war defined by them and the evolution of battle by the next World War.

I don't know why you're trying to be snooty, because you've got absolutely nothing to be snooty about and adding in 'conform to your low expectations' doesn't make sense, expectations of what? It sounds like you've just thrown in something vaguely argumentative.

If you had a remote interest in the history of the wars you'd know every relevant and major historian, and then the ones who aren't, all agree that WW1 was defined by trench warfare and by WW2 the mobilisation of forces and advancements in technology completely removed that other than for a few battles where it became particularly attrition based.

It irks me even more that you've obviously just run to Wikipedia and then ignored your own citation that comments on how trench warfare was infrequent by WW2.

The beauty of an anonymous imageboard is that you can be wrong and it doesn't matter, yet you still argue a null point.

Before anybody chimes in with 'wow you're so mad' I bloody well am that somebody from Britain could make such basic mistakes about such a huge part of our history and argue the point.

Here's a great book, download a copy http://www.amazon.com/A-History-Warfare-John-Keegan/dp/0679730826

*overly snooty

As in, if this was real life I'd be speaking in a deliberately silly tone, and you'd know from what your ears were telling you that I was being silly.

And as for WW1, you're right, I don't care. I was a boring war that happened essentially by mistake and predicated a couple of years of tedium. Trench based tedium, I'll concede.

Anyway, the earnest point is that I've read a great deal about WW2 so whenever I hear "trench" or whatever, I think WW2. And I would posit that trench warfare and the use of trenches are separate things.

Someone hit my parked car and did a runner. They managed to hit my car only, on a long street full of parked vehicles, and they managed to hit it so hard it pushed it up onto the curb.

Honestly, I'd rather have seen it happen just to witness how someone can T-bone a car that hard from such a narrow road.

Luckily they only hit my nearside door and it still locks. I'll probably have to buy a new door though, the panel is fucked.

I proper want some custard doughnuts but the supermarket bakery shelves are always bare when I go in after work.

I also crave cinnamon rolls to have with my morning coffee but I don't think I've seen them anywhere whilst shopping; I only get to eat them when a hotel provides them in their conference rooms.

I don't drink coffee but I was holidaying in Barbados recently and I'd never really thought anything of 'sweet' pastries etc for breakfast until one day I treated myself to a cinnamon roll with a nice hot tea and I sat in the shade drinking it and watching a hummingbird move about.

Now my body has made myself believe that everytime I eat a cinnamon roll in the morning I'm actually in the Caribbean relaxing.

They only had one of the founders on the programme. He started off by going on about how WACKY they are because THEY DON'T WEAR SUITS and have SWEAR WORDS on the walls, before throwing his toys out of the pram and turning into a control freak because he couldn't handle letting his employees have a say in the hiring of someone, which was the whole premise of the show.

Workhorse is a good word for it. I saw a police documentary recently, which showed a detective using VLC to analyse CCTV footage. That use-case shows what makes VLC special - it'll play whatever weird format you throw at it, it'll play partially corrupted footage, it doesn't care if the file extension is wrong or the headers are missing. VLC keeps going when other media players would throw a conniption.

Around 18 months to 2 years ago, a planning application was accepted to open a new chippy just down the road from me. They started work on it a little while later. Now they've been working on it for well over a year, and it still doesn't seem near opening. There's a little flurry of activity every now and then, and then they disappear for months.

It makes me suspect something a little fishy is going on. They must be paying rent on the place, so it's odd that they're able to drag the building work on for such a long amount of time.

I think you can piece this one together mate. It's slow because people are using their unlimited plan for Netflix and Youtube and torrents and what have you, and their cellular infrastructure clearly can't cope, hence your complaints about speed.

I can appreciate you're pissed off at the price hike (I'd be bloody fuming, if that's right it's practically doubled) but let's be honest, it's not "for no reason whatsoever" - the reason is staring you in the face every time you sit watching the swirling circle waiting for the video to load for minutes at a time. Give it another five years and mobile broadband for general use will be a sorted thing, but we're still in this uncomfortable middle ground where the hardware isn't out there and it's expensive as fuck to put it out there, and consequently service providers are struggling to balance expanding their infrastructure whilst still maintaining profit.

There just isn't enough RF spectrum to go around.

Three have a fairly puny spectrum allocation of 75MHz. Vodafone have more than twice as much and EE have over three times as much. In the absolute best case scenario (full utilisation on LTE Advanced) this allows for a maximum of 280MB/s per cell site. In reality, a lot of that spectrum isn't used efficiently because of users stuck on standard LTE (half as effecient as LTE-A) and 3G (15x less efficient).

Of course, real usage isn't ideally distributed. There are big demand peaks in terms of time and location. Thanks to rampant NIMBYism, there aren't nearly as many cell sites as we'd like and they're often in the wrong places. Micro and picocells fill gaps in coverage and increase total density, but at a cost of reduced spectral efficiency.

My hometown of ~100k population is served by four Three sites. My fag packet calculations say that equates to about 165kB/s per subscriber in the best case scenario - that assumes 100% 4G use, no voice traffic, no losses due to cell site overlap etc. In practice, less than fifty people torrenting could use up the entire bandwith available to the whole town. The need for traffic shaping and fair use policies should be obvious.

Network operators are having to turn to really advanced technologies like beamforming MIMO to squeeze even more data into a finite spectrum allocation, but they're fighting a losing battle. Industry forecasts predict that average usage per user will double in the next three years. The technology we have just can't keep up with user demand.

I've turned into a heartless bastard. I watched a Panorama special on fuel poverty last night and found it hard to feel sympathy for the people involved:

• One was a woman crying that she'd been switched to a prepayment meter when she hadn't been paying the bills and the amount of lights and electrical appliances she had on was ridiculous. It's better than then cutting off the supply completely.
• One filmed the police/gas company using a drill to do in the lock and gain access after he'd repeatedly ignored them and then started shouting 'this is making me anxious'.
• One received a letter to say they'd be installing a prepayment Meyer because she was in debt and had ignored the gas company for 11 months. In the end they rang the gas company, the meter wasn't installed and they came up with a repayment plan.
• One complained about having damp because they couldn't heat their home properly and said there's nothing she can do about it apart from try and clean it with a sponge but she could always call Shelter or her landlord. She also showed her daughter's mouldy lunch box, but that looked like it was because of not cleaning food out of it properly and they were scruffy bastards.

I know the energy companies are a complete shower, but it's as if these people can't think for themselves and need their arses wiping for them.

>CiF is truly one of the cesspits of the internet, thats before you even get to the moderation.

I read a comment this morning which made me laugh; apparently the reason Corbyn is doing such an ineffectual job as leader is because the next election is four years away and if he does too much damage now they'll have time to regroup. I believe Miliband took a similar approach. Maybe that's why he's deliberately making himself unpopular by talking about coming to an arrangement with Argentina over the Falklands and claiming Labour were responsible for the 2008 financial crisis by not regulating the banks.

Yes, it's a mystery how we somehow have a government approved by a quarter of the electorate and a third of those that actually took part that people somehow describe as having a democratic mandate. If your argument is going to the based on who "won" an election based on some arbitrary rule, then do let us know when you'll be writing to the White House complaining about them disregarding Kim Jong-un's clear democratic mandate.

One of my partially impacted wisdom teeth is causing me a bit of an ache and soreness in the surrounding gum - no inflammation but its red and like I said sore.

Now I'm normally a tough strong man who opens jars and usually wins in encounters with moths but oh deary me I cannot handle mouth pain. I want my mum and a plane ticket to an American dentist who will just rip the fucker out and be done with it.

They leave the phone charger plugged in and on at the wall after they've stopped charging the phone. Another couple I've forgotten is not putting the spread and the milk back in the fridge they've used them.

I think it's because they're all fat, except for her brother but he's clearly somewhere on the spectrum. Wears suit jackets and fedoras with jeans. Obsessed with Doctor Who. Greasy hair because he forgets to wash the shampoo off when they have a shower. Yellow teeth and awful breath. No common sense whatsoever. Has just been kicked off his uni course but he's wasted his student loan buying new computers and phones every other week because he's always breaking or losing them.

Yeah, go use your card at the bar when 2am mystery prices kick in and see how far you get. Pop in the corner shop for a couple pints of milk the next morning and enjoy the 50p charge. When ITZ finally happens good luck attracting a mutant wife when you don't have anything to wipe your arse with.

I got a payrise and a bonus for this quarter, yet come away with less than I normally do because my tax got fucked up and in turn this fucked up my student loans.

Student loans took over 12 times more than they should have out of my wage, but when I rang them up this is apparently my employer who has to refund me.

We got these laptops at the start of our PhDs for general office use when not in the lab.

The only thing is that they are utter cocking wank, like outrageously shite - we got them in 2013 and they were already obsolete.

It's 2016 - and most of the people who got them just bought their own laptops and threw the old ones into a landfill.

Like the sod that I am, I've hung onto mine, but each day it's a fucking battle. I gave it a good CCleaning the other day so it's at least not shitting itself when opening 2 windows - but it has some other hilarious quirks;

- Speakers continue to work even if you plug your headphones in, so you get an entire office listening to your favourite grindcore album and youtube videos. This happens randomly, so you have to do a speaker check every time you play something.

- The computer blue-screens when shutting down, so it sometimes stays in a update-loop because it can't update properly! Perfect! I loving coming in Monday and seeing it still shutting down from Friday. SHIT.

- Open a youtube video? Fuck you, wait 5 minutes for buffering and audio to catch up.

- Sluggish as fuck when coming back to your laptop after it's been left idle for a while.

I've already vowed to throw this thing off a bridge if the Uni doesn't want it back (doubtful).

Since upgrading my laptop to a fairly decent standard last year (i5 CPU, nVidia GPU, SSHD, 8GB RAM) I thought I'd try fucking about with my old piece of shit to see if I could extract any performance out of it. Bearing in mind I got the old one in... 2008-2009 maybe? It has a shit dual-core celeron CPU, spinny disk HDD, 3GB RAM and Intel fucking HD Graphics and ran almost as bad as yours sounds on Win 7 to begin. I tried:

- Uninstalling everything that wasn't Firefox, Office and a few other applications I would ever be likely to use.

- CClean'd multiple times - including the Registry cleaner at least once (do this after uninstalling shit).

- Defrag multiple times - if you haven't done so in months this could take many, many hours but it needs doing.

- Switched the theme to Windows Basic - I think this helped the most as much older versions of Intel graphics just can't cope with all the Aero bells and whistles.

At the end of it, the difference was phenomenal - it was hardly a speed-machine but it could at least boot up, open Firefox and browse multiple tabs in a reasonable length of time without freezing/crashing multiple times.

You've already mentioned CCleaning but I'd strongly reccomend doing the other things too - in particular changing the theme takes no time and made a massive difference.

If all of this doesn't work, (assuming you're using Win 7) you could try playing around with the nuts and bolts of Windows just a little as pic related describes (it's a few years out of date but should still be mostly valid for a laptop from 2013 running Win 7).

Finally, the nuclear option is to say fuck it to Windows and install one of the variety of *ubuntus that don't use Unity (I'd recommend Xubuntu, or if you really need it Lubuntu). I dual booted my old PoS with Xubuntu and everything was usable. Most technical applications (Matlab, Mathematica etc.) will work in Linux, and there are many good LaTeX editors for writing up your thesis so that should't be a problem unless you're already wedded to a particular Windows-only program.

Format it it and stick XP or a lightweight Linux build on it m8.

Your problem is simply trying to run a modern, bloated operating system. Give it something more manageable and you'll be fine. The specs of even a moderate PC from 10 years ago are unequivocally NOT obsolete if all you want to do is a bit of typing, browsing and suchlike- It's just that since then we've pumped our operating systems up with allsorts of daft stuff that isn't really necessary for realistic working use, but consumers simply find it nice to have.

A Windows 7/8/10 installation takes up about 17gb and has countless background processes going on that are simply not necessary for a basic work productivity machine. By contrast XP comes in at about 4gb and won't even begin to tax any processor made this decade. Stick Firefox (preferably an older build, with Adblock and noscript) and OpenOffice on it and you'll be laughing.

As for security, who cares, just keep important stuff on a memory stick and wipe it again if anything happens. Arguably XP is more secure now with unofficial service packs than it ever was while it was supported,and all the mallard/antiviral programs still run on it.

Running XP is an atrocious idea. Connect an XP box to the internet and it'll be rootkitted within minutes. Control of your computer will then be continually rented and re-sold. You might be part of a spam operation one day, a DDoS network the next, or be the victim of cryptolocker ransomware.

There are lots of options for lightweight operating systems. Xubuntu will run well even on a Raspberry Pi. Jide Remix is a desktopified version of Android. Neverware Cloudready is a Chromium OS derivative that works on most hardware.

Also, an SSD will provide a huge improvement in performance at a reasonable cost. They're not difficult to install if you choose one that comes with a data transfer kit.

Nonsense, unless you're talking about plugging it directly into the internet (i.e. not NATted behind a home router) without the windows firewall turned on.

I fin that a tad hard to believe, especially given the usage circumstances. It's not like just connecting to the internet is like dipping your bare cock into a pool of AIDS ridden semen.

Sure it'll be more vulnerable than running a fully up to date modern OS, but you still have to provide the opportunity for infection. A work computer being used for work purposes on a work connection with antivirus and firewall running is at negligible risk.

It's your funeral. Ask someone in the know to explain CVE-2015-0014.

It gets worse if you actually use the computer. XP has about 40 unpatched vulnerabilities in font parsing and rendering (e.g. CVE-2015-6108); These vulnerabilities allow arbitrary code execution with SYSTEM privileges via an embedded font in any document or web page. That obviously includes ads served via iFrames. Many of these vulnerabilities have no available mitigation or workaround. Exploits based on these vulnerabilities are being deployed en masse.

If you're running a telnet server exposed to the internet, you deserve whatever you get. I did specifically state that XP is fine if it's NATted.

Many of these vulnerabilities have no available mitigation or workaround. Exploits based on these vulnerabilities are being deployed en masse.

Lies. The number of remote font exploits detected in the wild is something like two or three, and only one of those (Duqu / CVE-2011-3402) made it into major exploit packs.

> in any document or web page

Again, wrong. IE and MS Office render these fonts, but Chrome won't. Current Chrome actually has full win32k lockdown mode Ask someone in the know to explain it to you and uses DirectWrite for text rendering - you basically can't break out of the Chrome sandbox with a win32k exploit any more, point blank.

The vast majority of exploits don't target OS components but rather client-side software such as your web browser or flash. I'd rather a Windows XP box running latest Chrome than a Windows 7 running latest IE.

You're absolutely right that official Chrome support has been discontinued on XP and Vista, although you should be able to trick the installer fairly easily (unlike most *nixes Windows binaries are cross-compatible across all Windows versions thanks to Redmond's tireless dedication to backwards-compatibility).

Nonetheless, I'll up my ante and say that I'd rather latest Firefox + Sandboxie on XP than windows 8.1 and latest IE. If I can uninstall flash and add a few Firefox plugins then I'd rather have Firefox over Chrome to be absolutely honest.

>>22447

Firefox with Noscript, HTTPSonly, and Flashblock combined with a sandboxing solution (Sandboxie on Windows or Firejail on Linux) is my bet for the most secure browser possible.

Chrome might have win32k lockdown mode enabled to provide a more watertight sandbox on Windows, but WebKit/Blink is a foul sea of security bugs worse than anything the Mozilla Foundation could dream up on the worst and wettest of Wednesdays.

You don't need to uninstall Windows, you can install Linux on a separate partition as a dual boot. It's fairly simple if you're installing something like Xubuntu - you can use the Windows Disk Utility to shrink your Windows partition, then reboot into the Xubuntu install media and it can automatically format and fill the empty space and set up Grub to manage the boots.

If your uni does want your laptop back (which I would consider unlikely given how old it is by now) then it's fairly trivial to uninstall Grub, revert to the Windows bootloader and nuke the Linux partition.

Fucking HSBC changed their internet banking login page again so now my account name, which used to pop up automatically, is lost. I thought I'd backed it up after the last time this happened but I can't find it for the life of me.


Wait, no I found it now, after downloading a FF add-on that lets me browse through all my autocomplete entries, not finding it there but eventually finding it in an obscure txt file somewhere on my hard drive. Still, I wish they'd stop doing that.

I'm with TalkTalk and some scumbag Indian scammers just called me up. They knew my name and everything. The woman instructed me to open Event Viewer and read out the event ID, which was 7000, and when she put on this worried tone of voice and said oh no that means 7000 errors! Then they tried to get me to download some remote desktop software, and when I pretended that had failed, she passed me onto her higher-up (i.e. criminal boss) who tried to get me to visit "bit.bo/talktalk123" and download something else. I pretended it was taking a long time and eventually they hung up.

Then I rang TalkTalk to report the call to them and had to talk to another Indian person who subsequently tried to sell me upgrades. Some nerve.

Flies keep coming into my flat because a mouse has died somewhere in the crawl spaces and the exterminator can't find the body. If that wasn't bad enough my flatmate is scared of flies so instead of doing the civilized thing and directing them out a window she is spraying fly killer everywhere.

Not opening the window. Not refraining from spraying in the kitchen/where we dry clothes. Not using trace amounts. Not opting for pest control that isn't a detriment to human health. I don't understand why women/black people have such a phobia of the natural world but whatever it is its boiling my now sterile piss.

I need to pay my bills by *actually turning up and paying my bills*.

The point is you can't, you can only do it 7 days before the flight, and if you are a filthy bourgeois like myself that goes on an 8 day holiday, their logic is that I can afford to pay for allocated seating. I would either have to find a printer on my holiday. But the gf, a voice of reason as usual, suggested we just use their app upon which you can check-in.

Not for one single second am I surprised what Ryan-air do. If there wasn't some kind of trade-standard / EU regulation, they'd sedate passengers and fork-lift stack them like sacks of cement if it meant saving a few quid.

Welcome to the wonderful world of water charges, where they can't cut you off for non-payment, but have a duty to cut off unoccupied premises. This means that most of the firms rather conveniently take the view that if nobody's paying the bill then the place must be empty.

I just checked my credit score which is 'good' / about average.

The only negative on it is that I've never had credit because I never buy anything I can't afford to pay for outright and if it's something like a phone, car or rent I make sure I have most of it able to be paid.

I get why having no record of credit is a negative it just annoys me that by only buying what I can afford it somehow is a negative.

The thing to understand here, is that the ultimate aim of lenders is to make money from you, if you're never in debt you'll never pay interest, and so the lender will never make money.


If you want/need to improve your credit rating, get a credit card, stick about £50 on there with a minimum monthly payment direct debit set up. Whenever it goes down spend a little on there just to top it up a bit.
It's not going to get you a top notch credit rating (you need to stay at around 3 quarters of your credit limit for that), but the interest cost will be minimal and in the long run it might be enough to lift your rating from good to excellent.

It does make some sense that if you, as someone who's never needed to borrow, suddenly does. If it's for something like a mortgage, it should be easy enough to explain away, but if you're now wanting to borrow for what you've previously funded with cash - sane red flag.

Check what time the specialist counters close. Typically within 30 minutes either side of this time all the stock that has to go will end up reduced fairly decently. If I hit my store at around 8pm as the deli closes I'll catch whatever they've reduced.

I just wanted something to write briefings on, browse the internet, stream sports and films (totally legally, of course) and maybe play some low res games whilst I ping out emails.

Of course, I could do all this with a much cheaper laptop but the idea behind me splashing out on a mac was that it was meant to be really good quality and that it would last for years and years and years.


So far it seems I have been given one that has been used before as there appears to be a mark on the lid of it and there is some sort of weird shadow at the bottom of the screen.

Bastard thing just cost me £700, after discount.

I might just bring it back and go back to safely buying the £400 laptops.

Sounds like you'd be fine with a Chromebook to be honest, they're cheap, lightweight, and can do all the things you listed. There's nothing wrong with the Airs though, battery replacement is a bit of a bastard/expensive, but otherwise they do what they're supposed to do and do it well.

I would definitely get on to Apple support about the marks on the lid and shadow on the screen. Apple's support is generally prompt and accommodating, they don't skimp on it - unlike pretty much every other laptop manufacturer, it has to be said. One of the perks of paying a premium.

Just got stuck behind someone at the entrance to my apartment buildings who had pulled right up to the gates so that I could swipe us both in, tailgated behind them confident in the fact that they stay open for ages and then the daft plastic barricades came crashing down on the roof of my hire car.

I was going to get one and save myself the £500 but I figured there's no point buying something with limited functionality that will not really work if there's no internet or something like that.

Literally the cheapest computers on the market are fine for casual browsing and typing sort of stuff these days. Even the bargain bin netbooks have several gigs of ram and respectable processors.

I can't see how there is still a market for chromebooks at all though, they are the worst of both worlds from tablets and laptops. When you can get a netbook that runs Windows 10 perfectly fine for under 200 quid, why would anyone bother?

With the apple you can at least be assured it will last a while though, must of the people I know with a MacBook of some kind have kept them for donkeys years.

Chromebooks are superb machines. ChromeOS is limited, but it's also unbelievably stable and secure. OS updates install in seconds and usually don't require a reboot. If you do have to reboot, most Chromebooks will do a full reboot cycle in less than eight seconds. If your machine is lost or stolen, you don't lose any data - buy a new one, log in with your Google account and it's like nothing happened.

It's not true that they're useless offline. Most of the important apps have offline mode, so they'll cache your data until you connect to the internet again. I've used Chromebooks as a main productivity machine and the experience was completely painless once I'd got my head around it.

Literally the only way to tamper with the OS is to take the thing apart and remove the write-protect screw for the bootloader. Chromebooks have become standard issue for businessmen and journalists working in China or Russia, because they're the only computers that will withstand state-sponsored hacking.

Apple's software and hardware quality has declined badly in recent years, because computers are such a small part of their business. They're not awful, but they aren't the paragons of quality that they once were. On the plus side, their support is very good - make an appointment at the "Genius Bar", take your machine in and they'll sort you out with a replacement with no quibbles.

The Dell Chromebook 11 is designed for schools, so it's built like a brick shithouse. It has big rubber bumpers around the edges for drop protection and the keyboard and touchpad are water resistant. It's not the lightest Chromebook because it's so heavily built, but it's almost exactly A4 sized.

>ChromeOS is limited

That's my point though really, limited is an understatement. It's literally a browser on a machine. You're totally at the mercy of the available "apps" in a way that a real computer simply isn't, so it's no different to just having a tablet with a keyboard attachment. The whole concept of a Chrome OS feels completely redundant next to Android.

My lettings agency has an online reporting system for maintenance issues. I reported an issue with one of the supplied built-in appliances in the flat a week ago and still haven't heard anything other than the automatic acknowledgement.

I've got some supposedly non-stick ceramic pans that are literally the opposite of that. Everything sticks, regardless of oil, butter or temperature, and it sticks in that thorough, meal-ruining way. I just wanted a nice omelette, but instead I've got this half scrambled, half fried mess of cheese, bacon, mushroom and eggs.

I don't quite know how to direct my frustration regarding this issue, because I'm frankly just baffled at how completely and utterly the pans fail in their designated application. Can something as simple as a pan be faulty? Am I just doing something wrong? Or is this just yet another in the long series of grievances I must endure at the hands of the modern consumer market?

Most non-stick pans become useless if you get them hot enough to burn oil.

Most non-stick pans are complete bollocks. Some of the modern ceramic coatings are okay, some are shite. Greenpan seems to work pretty well, but I've only got one and I only tend to do lower-temp frying in there. Tefals higher-end stuff is the only teflon-based non-stick worth buying, but with heavy use they stop working after a few years.

My suggestion is, go with cast iron or black iron for meat (and learn how to look after it), and a good quality non-stick pan for vegetables.

>do the batteries go funny on them often?
Not in Apple's ones in particular, but lithium ion batteries generally have an expected charge cycle life around the 100-500 mark (or even higher these days for quality cells - and much lower for anything you buy from shady Chinese retailers) before they really start being useless, but of course it's a slow descent so most people don't notice until it's properly fucked.

Counter-intuitively, li-ion batteries don't like to be fully charged, or fully discharged. (I may have written this here before, or saw someone else do the same, I can't remember so apologies if so but it was news to me.) They prefer to bounce anywhere between around 20-80% and will last many times longer if they do so than if they go from flat to full. Manufacturers know this, but they have two compelling reasons not to acknowledge it: by using the full range of charge they get to say they have a nice long battery life, and they can potentially make money on premium-priced first-party battery sales when you need a replacement down the line.

I've heard that Apple now claim 1000 charges before replacement, it does make me wonder whether they're doing the 20-80 thing or just talking out their arse with a liberal definition of "charge cycle".

I'm surprised Mumsnet haven't started an internet petition.

I preferred the blocks as well though so I'd probably sign it.

On a related note, the other day I was in a rush and grabbed a big bar of what I thought was Whole Nut, but when I got to the till it turned out to be "Dairy Milk Rocky Road", it had some kind of Yank sour mini-marshmallow shit mixed in. I tried to be all multicultural, extend a chocolate olive branch to the product of our younger cousins, but it was fucking repulsive. It sat in the corner until one night I was shitfaced enough to stuff my face with the rest of it.

How cliché. Daddy is going to show you how to start an apocalyptic cunt off now so pay attention because you might learn something:

Diane Morgan needs to get her arse off BBC programming and spend some time putting an act together. The character Philomena Cunk is effective for 5 minute segments that allow 'alternative' people chance to laugh at the uneducated and their dumb-but-smart commentary (remember they refuse to watch gogglebox). Philomena Cunk is not however a character you can wheel out for a half hour documentary and I honestly think this act is getting more tired than Al Murray's Pub Landlord.

I think the point is that you aren't supposed to stand her. She is an obvious device for Charlie Brooker's Misanthropy. She is supposed to be cringe worthy, and a target for your hate and therefore it is an incredibly fine line to keep her actually tolerable. She should never be on the screen too long because you aren't supposed to connect with her you are supposed to feel like you want to throw objects. I don't understand the choice to put her on screen for a 30 minute stand alone show.

I'm not sure to be honest, lads. I found out by accident, but then again, relying on my GCSE Science knowledge, I would have thought that it has something to do with proteins denaturing and all that.

I don't know if the same applies to blood, spit and other bodily fluids, but for semen, also go for cold water.

The proteins in semen coagulate after ejaculation. That coagulation is accelerated by heat and dilution. It's probably an evolutionary adaptation to increase the likelihood of fertilisation - runny semen can be more forcefully ejaculated, but viscous semen is less likely to trickle out of the vagina. Semen re-liquifies about 20 minutes after ejaculation, probably so that sperm can more easily swim into the uterus.

Curiously, the biochemistry of human semen is still poorly understood. Since the advent of IVF, fertility researchers have expended most of their efforts on understanding sperm in isolation. There's a considerably larger body of research on bovine and porcine semen, because of the importance of artificial insemination in the livestock industry.

It's better than doing it in the bath. When I was a teenlad I used to regularly do this because wanting yourself ejaculate underwater is quite mesmerising. There'd always be tiny bits of residual spunk which would float around still attached to your bell end, so I'd start pissing in the bath to thoroughly clean my tubes. You could see clouds of spunk within the yellow piss trail. So, yeah, I'd go in the bath to get clean and end up soaking in my piss and spunk. Then it was a mission to get out of the bath before any spunk attached to my leg hairs and I'd have to give the bath a good rinse afterwards to flush away any spunk clinging to the tub.

I know 'everyone is an idiot but me' is a cliché but this past week I've been talking to and listening to lectures from a number of leading academics who are quite apparently morons.

Not so much when they express an ignorance of history (which I can forgive) but when they are purposely being ignorant of information within their field because its not convenient for their argument which rests purely conjecture. Normally this is done in a chummy way with a shit eating grin and oh God the more I'm thinking about it the angrier its making me.

This is why I like the internet, someone is always more than eager to call you out on your bullshit.

I just wipe it on my bed sheets\into the carpet to be honest. Having a wank isn't something I ever spend time planning ahead on.

I'd recommend the bath wank though. I do it whenever I'm staying in a hotel and wank off to the song 'Hey Baby' for the teenlad memories.

I had a wank sock. I think I pissed in it a few times because it ended up going yellow. For some reason it smelled quite sweet, like the peanut brittle I forgot about and had in one of my bedroom drawers for about two years. In the end my mum threw it away.

Nowadays the only privacy I get is in the bathroom so I wank while I'm on the toilet. Jizzing directly into the water is a revelation.

I did this as a teenlad. Oh the memories... I did it, but I was clever enough to put my bin over it, so the obvious stain wasn't so obvious. My house carpets were a beige colour. so a slight darker patch began to form. This went on for years. And there was a scent.

Cut to the day my parents decided to hire a professional carpet cleaner... That was interesting to say the least. At the end of the day, my carpet was nice and new looking. Stain gone I thought. However the cleaner lad was talking to my parents, and I recall he was like "Yeah, not too much trouble - however in one of the rooms..." and he looked at me "It was a bit of a challenge, because I think there was a lot of..." I tensed up.

"Hair. Yep, just a bit of hair about". And luckily I had longer hair back then, so the story made sense. But I damn fucking well knew, that he knew what I was up to... Bloody hell.

I read an FHM True Story about a lad who as a teenager staying over at his girlfriend's parents' house would continue wanking after she had gone to sleep and shoot his loads across the room onto the carpet, which would then dry invisibly by the morning. Some time later the parents brought in a blacklight for some reason which when switched on caused his historical secretions to glow like stars. He said he was impressed by the distance he'd achieved but less so when the parents got down on their knees and started scratching and muttering about the mystery stains.

Air-dried semen usually does smell quite sweet, but NEVER wank into a bottle, do up the lid, and then forget about it. It will smell of death, quite literally because it will contain copious amounts of a chemical called cadaverine.

My method; you wank into the underwear that you wore that day and hopefully changed when you hopefully had a shower. To be honest, I only shower every other day, so they're double-wank undies. But they only get used twice, then go to the wash pile or whatever.

Forces you to do your washing when you run out of pants, too. Clean(ish) Good rotation, no crusties, no ageing or fossilization.

Honestly I sometimes go weeks without showering but lasses persistently tell me I smell nice. I have a good flannel wash in the sink, and that does the trick, but I could probably get away without that for a few days too.

I don't rely on my mates to tell me if I smell or not. As I clearly said, I get told by females that I smell good.

As in, it's actually a frequent occurrence that I hug a lass and she goes "Ooh, you smell nice!"

Like I said, it's not about showering every day. Hygiene can be achieved in other ways, and it's a negligible problem if you wear clean clothes, a squirt of not-shit aftershave, and get a wash. If you met me you'd never even be able to tell were it not for the fact I've told you.

The most noticeable bit is greasy hair, but I wash my hair separately to showering anyway because I have long hair, and washing it any more frequently than at three day intervals leaves it dry, frizzy and brittle.

Seriously are you people that autistic that you think "not showering" means the same thing as "not getting a fucking wash"?

looking around this thread, every other day isn't bad. Of course if I feel dirty or smell I wash, but there really is no need to wash everyday. I work in a professional environment with people who wouldn't hesitate to call me out. I smell pretty neutral naturally. probably ties in with how I never had a proper puberty. Takes me 3 months to grow a stubble and all that.

I also figure I'm doing both a bit for the environment, and a bit for keeping the shared bathroom cleaner. Plus I'm lazy.

Presumably the other smelly cunts they hang around with neglect your genius "squirt of not-shit aftershave" (which, by the way, does not make hygiene "a negligible problem"), making you less pungent by comparison. But yes, other people can tell.

I've not showered for a LONG period of time before, when I was depressed. I lived in a house for a year, and I genuinely don't think I showered more than five times in that year.

I still washed my hands and put deodrant on my pits, but that was pretty much it. Nobody ever told me I smelled, and I certainly had people around me that would have told me. I had a job all through that time, and I know for sure the managers there would have said something. But they didn't. I worked in a kitchen, if it was noticeable, they would have done something about it.

I realise this is crap anecdotal evidence, and I don't really know what to make of it. Maybe I just happen to have a milder odor than most, even when unwashed. I didn't ever feel that dirty, but I was so numb at that point it's not like I would have cared. Anyway, the whole experience has left me with a mild distrust of the shower gel industry.

I have considered that, but there were definitely people at that job that would have had no issues telling me I was a filthy bastard. The managers weren't particularly fond of me, as my work was pretty inconsistent due to the nature of my problems. They called me up on plenty of things, I'm pretty sure they'd not have held back.

I also still had close friends who have never pulled any punches, and my mum wouldn't have spared me the embarrassment either. They picked up on everything else abnormal during that time, including the fact my flat was in squalor. They certainly mentioned that my bedroom resembled a Tracy Emin installation, so I don't see why they wouldn't have also brought up my muskiness if it was also present.

I'm as confident as I can be that I didn't stink during my great unwashed era.

How quickly trainers get holes in them because of bastard stones and glass. I bought my new trainers a couple of weeks back and I noticed after the rain today that all too familiar squelching sound that tells me soon I will have holes in my socks.

I feel like I should add to these observations that body smell is more complicated than scrubbing away the dirt. Your skin is a bacterial biome and this bacteria keeps in check fungus and general 'bad bacteria' nastiness - its also a big part of the reason why everyone has a distinctive smell.

Its more complicated being 'clean' and for example allot of people find that acne cleans up by taking cold showers and washes. In fact people who take hot showers alone are much more prone to rashes because of how fungus thrives.

>>22797
Women on dating sites in general is worthy of its own /101/ thread. I appreciate the effort that some women put in by starting the conversation but it irks me when they do so by just saying "hey" when surely basic etiquette is to ask me something from my neat profile.

Your subconscious longing for New Age-types adds another level to this because they are the one type of people who seem utterly incapable of talking about anything else. Then they wonder why they never find men who stick around.

>This never seems to happen with shoes its always the cheap rubber they use on the soles of trainers that makes them rubbish for day-day walking in.

Trainers are designed for specific purposes. They're designed for smooth polished gym floors, they're designed for grass, they're designed for running tracks.
The formulations of rubber and TPE used in the soles of trainers are therefore also designed for those purposes. So in general trainers have soles which are softer and more grippy, but considerably less resilient. The exception will be road running shoes which will likely be a compromise between the two extremes.

It's not (necessarily) "cheap", the lack of durability is a necessary compromise to achieve grip, flexibility and shock absorption.

The less regard you have of women, and the less time you waste on them, the better you'll do with them.

I will say that internet dating is utterly worthless nowadays and should never be recommended to anyone who isn't legitimately handsome, it's just going to depress the ever living fuck out of them.

Pity the poor bastards who shelled out to watch that harrowed haunted-eyed bastard half-heartedly trot out a show composed roughly half and half of jokes already published in 2014's "Scotland's Jesus" and new jokes shoehorned into tired devices that were already beginning to feel abused during his last DVD. The true kicker was his, after telling someone who merely wanted to piss / escape the misery on stage that he had "no soul", finishing the show by saying how much he liked and admired Bill Hicks. Now, Billy was no saint but at least he had the decency to die while he was still funny, something Frankie has failed at entirely.

Sage because while this is a Minor Rant and definitely not worth making a thread in /v/ about, it's still not exactly /101/ material.

The important thing is entirely how you are perceived.

If your presentation is right, your colleagues will see that your position is merely a temporary sacrifice, one that you are imposing on yourself begrudgingly so that you can yourself have an Audi and a big house (at some indeterminate point in the future).
But in your sort of position, you have to be very very good at self-presentation, and have a lot of self-confidence, to make sure that others don't get the impression that you're just an incapable man-child.

I tried the Sam Smith's Organic Chocolate Stout for the first time at the weekend and I'm very worried that my waistline is going to start expanding soon because it's just that fucking good. I've already lost quite a bit of definition on my abs, but calorie counting means staying in and not drinking ale with my pals. And yes, this is probably the most spoiled whinge I've ever made here.

Any ale heads here that enjoy darks like stouts/porters and have a similar sweet tooth to me, by the way, you should definitely try it. It's like drinking a fucking pudding. Delicious.

Sam Smith's is a great brewery and their chocolate stout is second to none.

The good news is that 'beer bellies' are essentially a myth and that what you eat and how active you are matter much more than whether you drink ale or spirits. My biochemistry friend explained it to me once - something to about the way the body absorbs calories from fluids differently than from solids. That and most of the calories in beer comes from carbohydrates and not fat anyway.

What you eat and what you drink matter a great deal. How active you are is very much a secondary concern.

>the body absorbs calories from fluids differently than from solids.
Sugar in drinks is absorbed pretty much 100%. The body is used to using it for energy, it being drank or eaten has little bearing. Ethanol is a little more complicated. Fundamentally, though, the calories taken in drinking still count. This is why beer and soft drinks are a particular problem for causing weight gain: they're full of calories, but because there is no associated feeling of 'fullness', the body doesn't recognise it.

>That and most of the calories in beer comes from carbohydrates and not fat anyway
There's no fat in coca cola either. You'll still get fat as fuck drinking it. You don't get fat by eating fat. You get fat by (basically) eating more calories than you expend.

Source? This seems in conflict with mainstream opinion that regular exercise raises your resting rate of metabolism, meaning you 'burn' calories at a faster rate even when not exercising.

>This is why beer and soft drinks are a particular problem for causing weight gain: they're full of calories, but because there is no associated feeling of 'fullness', the body doesn't recognise it.

Clearly you've never tried the Samuel Smith's stout if you think it doesn't fill you up. There's a reason (real) beer is known as 'liquid bread'.

>There's no fat in coca cola either. You'll still get fat as fuck drinking it.

Coca-cola is full of refined sugar. Beer very much doesn't - the sugar comes from the malts and is mostly removed by fermentation. Most of the carbohydrates in beer are in the form of long-chain starches, ethanol, and esters.

>You get fat by (basically) eating more calories than you expend.

That only works under the assumption that the body is a 100% efficient energy-fat converting machine - which it very much isn't. The biochemistry of nutrition is complex and relatively poorly understood on the whole. Counting calories is probably better than nothing, but some calories are more equal than others.

No it doesn't.

>Clearly you've never tried the Samuel Smith's stout if you think it doesn't fill you up. There's a reason (real) beer is known as 'liquid bread'.
It does not produce a feeling of fullness equivalent to the same caloric content eaten in real food, is the point.

>Coca-cola is full of refined sugar. Beer very much doesn't - the sugar comes from the malts and is mostly removed by fermentation. Most of the carbohydrates in beer are in the form of long-chain starches, ethanol, and esters.
Which your body still processes. The fact that it's not as easy to process as refined sugar does not mean it should be ignored.

>That only works under the assumption that the body is a 100% efficient energy-fat converting machine - which it very much isn't. The biochemistry of nutrition is complex and relatively poorly understood on the whole. Counting calories is probably better than nothing, but some calories are more equal than others.
Hence "basically".

Don't get me wrong I would love a fruity cocktail when I get in from work, yes. That does not mean taking up a third of a shelf in the freezer is acceptable when I've already well and truly given up the top shelf as an ice-cream zone.

There are certain drinks that are just much better with ice. I find any sort of spirit with mixer needs to be cold, not jut fridge chilled, and the slowly melting water often contributes to the balance of the flavour. Try a JD and coke without ice, Jesus, it is the taste of pleb in liquid form. (Bonus points for festival mode, where you leave the coke to go flat and then warm it up a bit first.)

Anyway. Doing it with shop bought ice is just another lazy, modern convenience, and if you're in for a proper session, which let's face it lads you should be, you're never going to be able to freeze it fast enough in those daft little trays. There's enough in there for maybe two and a two G&Ts, or three glasses of rum and coke.

Clearly, the trays are for poofs and the bags are for lazy cunts- The practical man's solution is those bags you fill up with a bit of water that then come out as bags full of ice cubes you smash apart. The best of both worlds- Fast, easy, and able to turn out large batches.

Now, obviously the top drawer being crammed full of ice cream is a different matter, have you tried telling the bitch to go on a fucking diet? Who seriously eats that much ice cream. Just think of all the Chicago Town you could fit in that space. Good grief.

Why not put the spirit on chill? Its not going to go solid due to the higher freezing point to match ABV so you can make the liquid cold as fuck before the glass will break. Just remember to put the bottle back when you're done.

That way you can also do cold shots which go down well, your dentist will be happy you cut out the mixer and it will probably stay cold longer.

It doesn't, there's plenty of bibble on QT. And you're saying "aimed at young people" as if you have to be over 35 to watch QT, there's always pockets of very young audience members in the QT audience.

If you don't want to engage with young voters then that's your business, but don't act all judgmental when none of them agree with you.

This might be of interest.


Regardless, there is lots of bile on QT, but at least it's vaguely on the right track most of the time with a mix of older people. They get the main issues they want to gripe with and whilst it's not always the most refined, they often have a vague idea.

That one for young people was a car crash, highlights include clapping a girl who refused to acknowledge there is in fact a difference between the EU and Europe, a girl just shouting 'we can move there as well as them move here' and doing the look around please clap face despite the fact panel members repeatedly raising there's really no point moving there for lower wages and there being
high unemployment etc.

There's always one or two stray weirdos on QT but that tends to be the exception rather than the rule.

I am a young voter and sadly I engage with the cunts all the time.

All I can remember from QT this week, apart from the black woman interrupting everyone and going "I FINK, I FINK", was Miliband wonking all over the place and trying to turn it into a silly game by asking David Davis what country we'd be like when we leave (to which Davis answered Great Britain, to huge cheers). Oh, and Caroline Lucas was on so she was spouting crackpot nonsense about needing an 'immigrant dividend' so the economic benefits from immigration can be spread throughout the nation or something. The audience weren't much better, with the usual idiots thinking if we left the EU there'd be no European doctors and nurses able to work here.

I actually think that sounded like a pretty cool idea that could be applied to other areas. A lot of arguments in favour of semi-controversial issues are based on "well, it makes/would make a lot of money for the treasury" but this hardly means anything to whoever has concerns.

Imagine if we legalized weed, identified which businesses were doing better as a result (the growers obviously, late night food places, anyone involved in the manufacture of paraphernalia) and then levied a special tax which was used as a fund to provide direct tax rebates to people involved in industries which were negatively affected (alcohol manufacturers/suppliers, prison officers facing redudancy etc).

There are tons and tons of other things I can think of. I'm not a Green party supporter but I really think Caroline Lucas has come up with a way to save the world.

We have a neighbour in our street who has to be the nosiest cunt ever. Everytime we leave the house he stands in his window and thinks he can't be seen.

Every fucking weekend he cleans his car and his front door (?) meticulously. Hoovers it out, wipes it down, polishes the car door handle, does the mats.

Every weekend. His car can't possibly get that fucking dirty.

If you're thinking, how do I know this, surely I am a nosey cunt, it's because he does it religiously and I see him doing different bits each week when I leave the house.

It wouldn't be bad, except this time he's gone the extra mile, he cleaned it yesterday and he's cleaning it again today the stupid fucking cunt. Trying to relax in my garden and all I can hear is his hoover.

If my life ever gets so sad that I complain about sad people on an imageboard that I sit at my weekends wondering what to do before cleaning my car for the second time in that weekend can somebody just shoot me?

Speaking of reddit, I had this thought the other day:

Seeing as there are a lot of tips and bits of advice floating about on it, isn't it a little sad that a lot of life lessons and experience will be garnered through the real-life experience of others, and then regurgitated online so people never actually leave the house and experience the world?

What I am getting it at is that a lot of experience is obtained from some real-life problem, then later, a site like reddit comes along, they can share that experience so others can learn. Fine. But years down the line, people have taken this information, added other people's life experiences pertaining to other problems, make summarised lists of "life protips", effectively preventing anyone from trying anything ever.

I am 100% guilty of this myself, as I look stuff up all the time, but later feel empty for not just doing the work myself and finding shit out...

What a cringeworthy ramble.

I think the biggest risk is illusory competence. It's easy to subconsciously believe that you understand a subject because you know the broad overview and a few bits of trivia. The internet does broad-but-shallow knowledge very well, but it isn't very good at depth.

It's a pattern I've caught myself in a couple of times. I'll read a few Wikipedia articles, watch a few YouTube lectures and think I've got my head around something. I then meet a real expert in real life and am suddenly confronted with how little I actually know.

I fear that this issue might be compounded by declining standards in higher education. It used to be that universities were an ordeal of intellectual humility. Understanding the limits of your knowledge was as important as acquiring knowledge.

This is still the case in elite universities, but the expansion of HE has blurred the line between academic study and vocational training. Oxbridge graduates have a reputation for being arrogant shits, but I worry more about people with degrees in Cross-Cultural Handicrafts from the University of East Bumsonseats.

What's the process from here on in? Given that you lied to your employer they're within their rights to sack you as far as I'm aware, of course that's a balance between whether or not you're actually any good at your job I suppose.

I'm not entirely sure. My boss is a really top guy, expecting him to laugh it off because my job has otherwise gone well and Chinese is literally nothing to do with it.

Although I have made myself look a cock, I'm hoping I get away with a disciplinary.

It strangely comforts me that it's just a story to tell and I at least made a few people laugh. I take compliment that people simply don't believe me and say it's too similar to a sitcom too, makes me think my life might not be as boring as I think it is.

You have two options.

One is to get out before you're caught out. After all, if you lied about that, what else were you lying about? Have you actually been outsourcing your work to India for a quarter of the cost?

The other option is what you've already been told. Fake it until you make it. That is, actually go off and learn Chinese (Mandarin if you mix with students, Cantonese otherwise). That way you can actually impress them when the inevitable office night out at a Chinese restaurant comes along.

How much of a ballache travel anywhere is now. I just got grilled by Canadian customs, even had all my luggage searched, including the pictures on my camera (I should really put some shocking content on the memory card next time) before they finally decided I was no harm. One of them held up my external hard drive and asked what it was. I said it was a blank external. He then said "So why do you have it?" He gave up trying to start my laptop up too and didn't realise it was because it had no battery in it. These are the kind of people that enforce laws. And it saddens me.

I hope it doesn't make me into a terrorist sympathiser, but I'd love if somebody made a laptop into a bomb that goes off when you press the power button, expressly for this reason.

Really I don't think they do have the "right" to do it at all, given that ordinarily police need warrants to do things like that; but when you've just got off a plane and you're hoping to get into a country it's pretty much the law of the jungle. They're the ones in uniform and with the weapons, so they more or less have the "right" to do whatever they want.

I certainly won't be going back to the States after my experience of their customs and their airlines. And their country, come to think of it, but I digress.

Airport security has no right at all to do what they do without your permission.
However they are fully entitled to stop you from getting on a plane if they think you're hiding something.

If airport security starts asking to see your photos on your phone, you can just refuse. But this means a trip to the back room and you'll miss your plane.

I went into Co-op about three quarters of an hour before closing and one of their employees rounded up all of their reduced food, put it in a trolley and took it into the back.

Very few limit it to recent graduates. The only ones I've come across are odd ones like the Bank of England which limit you to two years after.

I know loads of people who've changed to teaching/ from teaching to law / Civil Service etc.


I actually emailed the Civil Service people the other day and asked their average age of successful applicant and they told me it was about 27. Think about that for a second, even with bright young Oxbridge graduates starting at 21, the average age is still for those about 6 years or more out of uni.

I'm gonna apply every fucking year til I'm 40. I am gonna fucking do it.


Just go for it lad. What do you have to lose? Worst that happens is you get a bit better at maths and verbal reasoning from practice.


Don't let age put you off. I know so many people who've turned their lives around by not being put off by age it keeps me motivated.

>Friend who worked as a waiter (nothing wrong with that) at 26 now before 30 earns 40k tax free and bangs hot birds in a sunny country
>Friend who was a teaching assistant on god knows how little now works for a huge corporate law firm in London on 70k
>Friend who worked in a shop at 23 is now an accountant with a massive house and a huge Merc, still no degree
>Guy who cleaned litter now earns 60k etc.
>Friend who got rejected from Cambridge took a year out to reapply before applying for Harvard, getting in, and studying 'abroad' (even though he is British and coming back to britain) at Cambridge.

Just believe, push forward, and never stop trying.

He is a really lovely chap, and he's been living in this houseshare for a month or so and it's been incident after incident.

There's a girl at work whose at least a 9/10. Not in the subjective way, but an objective, 'holy shit she probably belongs on the Daily Mail gossip column jogging down a Hollywood street.'

I like how you call it objective, when it's nothing of the sort. What you call an "objective" 9/10 sounds like the epitome of 5/10 mediocrity for me. The socially accepted tall skinny blonde model of attractiveness literally does not interest me whatsoever.

I'm not saying this to be some sort of special snowflake or arrogant elitist, just that I find it very perplexing when people try to disregard the meaning of the words subjective/objective in order to support a point that is very much the opposite.

On a slight tangent, it's a bit different when you're looking at a photo of your own face. The image of yourself which you're more accustomed to is that of your reflection, which is a) mirrored and b) is seen from further away (as in, if you're standing 3 ft from a mirror, you're actually seeing yourself in the detail that people 6 ft away from you see you).

So when you see a photo, your face is (to you) the wrong way around and is more visibly flawed, which can be very unsettling.

Lad. It is very simple. If you use the word 'objectively' to mean 'subjectively', you aren't exaggerating, you are using a word which means the exact opposite of what you're trying to convey. People may very well understand what you're attempting to say, in much the same way that people will understand that someone who claims to have 'literally died laughing' is in fact likely still amongst the living, but that doesn't change the fact that you are wrong and are using words inappropriately.

You're obviously missing the point of his post then aren't you?

The blatant notice of it not being subjective but objective was to highlight how attractive he found her.

I don't actually understand how people on here can get:

A) so upset about something like this
B) Fail to completely miss the context
C) Argue into the ground what was a perfectly well written concept
D) Argue otherwise

How fucking stupid/ autistic can you be? I honestly think people this sad and this unable to grasp context might actually have a hint of autism because they fail so badly at understanding writing with subtle (or not subtle) undertones.

Clearly the person who might genuinely be on the spectrum. For the record I've just managed to join this shit fest, but you (and others?) aren't half stupid.

There's nothing inappropriate about the usage of it, it was rather well done. You might want to get over it yourself and move on, like most people did, or failing that, go to the doctor and ask if he thinks you're on the spectrum.

Blaming everything on mental illness. It was in the local news that a drunken man fell into a river and refused help from the police to get out. Many of the comments were saying people shouldn't judge him because they'd diagnosed him as having mental health problems. It's used as the catch all term for everything these days and it worries me that people with actual mental illnesses won't be taken as seriously because the word has been watered down to the point of losing all meaning.

I don't know who she is.

We both met in the work corridor as she was fidgeting for her pass to unlock the door but was trying to drag a luggage case too.

I unlocked the door, invited her to pass through first and she smiled and made small talk with me before walking very slowly in front of me as we left the building into the carpark.

Never in my life have I seen what now appears to be such an overt move directed toward me but she removed one shoulder of her dress before complaining how hard it was to move her luggage. It was raining lightly too.

I guess that was my point to take her smiles, small talk and damsel in distress suggestions to offer to lift the case to her car.

For god knows what reason I went 'yeah it looks quite heavy, the rain doesn't help either' before walking ahead and getting in my car.

I hate myself sometimes, I really do.

A few things I'd like to get off my chest

- I wish I wasn't a contrarian cunt and bought a macbook quicker. I just joined in the general chorus of 'wahey they're overpriced' whenever I heard about them. It's been the best piece of equipment I've bought for tech despite the price and that you can get higher specs cheaper.

- I wish I started running again much earlier. Never has such a simple task every morning at half six had such a huge improvement of my mental well being and general attitude toward the day.

- Who are these cunts that save their money all year round to go get in a fight with other lads from different countries because we're having a game of footie? It annoys me even more because I work with degree educated (mind you that's no sign of intelligence, just evidence they have some sort of coherence and can manage to pull a sentence together) people in a professional environment who engage in this thuggery.

- I like politics but fuck me I'm sick of hearing about this referendum and the ridiculous shit from both sides. There's a few MPs I respect a lot more, there's a lot I can't fucking stand from both sides who I thought were better.

- The clearly overweight lass in work who brags about going to the gym everyday before work but is clearly not getting anywhere or not going. She regularly washes down her gym pride and salad lunch with a large starbucks, two chocolate bars and probably further crisps. She'll then comment on the fitness of everybody else, except pretty much everybody in the office is in much better shape than her.

- The people in work who book time off but clearly keep their work phone with them and respond to emails asking other people to pick up the work. When I book a holiday I spend my time with the phone literally in a cupboard trying to think about anything but work.

That was the period when Simone developed a mania for breaking eggs with her behind. She would do a headstand on an armchair in the parlor, her back against the chair's back, her legs bent towards me, while I jerked off in order to come in her face. I would put the egg right on the hole in her ass, and she would skillfully amuse herself by shaking it in the deep crack of her buttocks. The moment my come shot out and trickled down her eyes, her buttocks would squeeze together and she would come while I smeared my face abundantly in her ass.

From time to time, I would carry a feverish Simone to the bathroom to help her pee, and then I would carefully wash her on the bidet. She was extremely weak and naturally I never stroked her seriously; but nevertheless, she soon delighted in having me throw eggs into the toilet bowl, hard-boiled eggs, which sank, and shells sucked out in various degrees to obtain varying levels of immersion. She would sit for a long time, gazing at the eggs. Then she would settle on the toilet to view them under her cunt between the parted thighs; and finally, she would have me flush the bowl. Another game was to crack a fresh egg on the edge of the bidet and empty it under her:sometimes she would piss on it, sometimes she made me strip naked and swallow the raw egg from the bottom of the bidet. She did promise that as soon as she was well again, she would do

Do your grocery shopping online. Most of the supermarkets will buy the bags they've used back at the full 5p the next time they deliver.

I cocked up a perfectly good opportunity with a lass way out of my league while we were both away at a conference, an opportunity which she verbally confirmed that she wanted me to take to her friend while I was still there. I fully intend to ask her out when she gets back from her holiday, but have had no contact with her since I left the conference venue and I'm going positively mad fantasising over all of the way she might say yes and we might become the hottest couple in town or the many ways that she might say no and my life will be briefly terrible.

This picture appeared on facebook and blew smoke up my arse for it's weird political statement.

I'm not sure who is offended by mislabeling other than people who feel they should be offended. Are terrorists who feel they are mislabeled as mentally disturbed upset? or perhaps the mentally disturbed who feel they are unfairly labeled as terrorists after they kill a bunch of people? I don't think I care about their feelings

There is the obvious detail as well that this labeling is simple untrue, no one was calling the IRA, or Chechen rebels merely 'mentally disturbed'. If there is a humor at all to this picture it has been lost to me under making observations that are just inaccurate unless you want to ham-fist a world view that everything is racist.

It may also have something to do with the fact that by and large the IRA and Chechen rebels weren't in the habit of recruiting mentally disturbed types to their cause. They were definitely organised terrorists engaged in organised campaigns of violence. Al-Qaeda and ISIS have in some respects been rewriting the rules, but don't make the mistake of thinking that ISIS is engaging in an organised campaign. Its domestic operations are now almost entirely reactive, and its foreign "operations" are almost exclusively lone wolves, for which mentally disturbed types are ideally suited.

I'm frustrated that over the past week the EU referendum has flooded my facebook news feed. Fair enough its a big issue but the way its being written about on all sides is starting to get my back up.

The biggest one are people arguing about it on pages and then taking screen shots to share with mates for a pat on the back. Its getting hard to resist the futile effort of pointing out they're running their mouths and chest beating about shit they likely don't understand.

I mean what the fuck. Where did all of these strong opinions suddenly come from?

Picking my daughter up from dance class, for two reasons:-

• There's a ballet class immediately after hers and the waiting area is full of young teenage girls in tight leotards and it's hard to look in any direction without feeling like a sex offender.

• There's a tap class on at the same time as my daughter's dance class and some of them also do the ballet class immediately afterwards. They change their shoes in the waiting area and their feet absolutely reek.

Its 4am and I've had to get up to hunt a centipede. I don't know how it got into my room by there was no chance I was drifting off with thoughts of that little shit stinging my ankle.

It gets worse because the first time I caught it with the glass and paper trick it managed to outsmart me by hanging on to the paper as I flipped the glass. The second time I got it right but it raised itself against the glass looking right at me as if to say "if you fuck up for even a split second I'm running up your pyjama leg". It made chucking it out into the garden interesting to say the least but I'm not betraying the human-centipede alliance with bloodshed.

I can't handle all this wildlife conflict. I'd ask for a cold snap but that would only encourage the little buggers to seek warm shelter.

Profit-making companies do not voluntarily take any action to reduce their environmental impact unless it also saves them money and to think otherwise would be extraordinarily naive.

The British pornographic genre. We all like spaffing on a girl but it feels like 99% of British porn is a group of 6-7 pale 40-something men in a circle wanking on a rough looking girls face. Its nice that you lads have so many meet-ups but at the same time I think passing it off as pornography is stretching the truth a little.

Its a shame because British porn is the only genre where having the sound on can improve the experience in terms of the lass talking dirty.

In terms of international appeal, the unique selling point for British porn is that of a totally, utterly shameless slag.

Compare and contrast with how much Yank porn seems to be about fresh 18 year old college girls being slightly forcefully coerced into stripping off, and before they know it they are in the middle of a gang-bang.

The fact that I can't have almond milk in my coffee without it being seen as a political statement. Its just nice and I find it easier on my guts. Same goes for vegetarian foods which now and then add a nice bit of variation to my diet.

No I am not a member of the green party and you vegans can stop looking at me so smug like I'm being converted. Its awful, like if a bloke offered to nosh you off and of course you would let him for the temporary quality of life improvement but then everyone around suddenly thinks your gay when word spreads. You know what I means lads?

Get the unsweetened kind by Alpro and add the milk in after the water. I find if the "milk" is room temperature or near it mixes better but cold is fine. If you leave it awhile it separates but this can be fixed by stirring or moving the cup in a circular motion to create a vortex

My mobile phone company has a nifty little feature that still allows you to view their website even if you don't have any data (I assume they all do this). Unfortunately the geniuses at this particular provider have failed to realise that it doesn't actually allow you to log in and/or purchase more data thus making the feature completely and totally useless unless you're willing to ask a random stranger on the bus to turn on his hotspot for 30 seconds.

I don't know why this makes me so angry. It's obviously a result of incompetence rather than actual malice, and you can always just call them anyway, but Jesus Christ it makes me want to scream.

I only just noticed, on probably my fourth viewing of the film, that the scene in Shaun of the Dead where Shaun and three other people are all trying to fire the same gun is obviously inspired by four people trying to play a Playstation or Xbox or whatever but only having the one controller.

I feel dense, but I'm obviously brighter than I was on past viewings, so that's a positive.

There's a scene right at the start where Shaun directs Frost's character in the same way on the actual Xbox.

I applied for an Irish passport and on the application form it had a number.

You put that number in on the Irish embassy website and it tells you exactly when your application was received, what stage it is at, what the expected time of completion and delivery is and how long it expects the current stage to take.

It's bloody clever, yet simple and nice to know. Why can't we have something like that with ours?

My annoying cunt of a neighbour is cleaning his car again. Literally every weekend, for hours and hours. Hoover, polish, hoover again, more polish.

The sad fucking cunt. I just want a Saturday off work where I don't have to hear his radio or hoover and just chill.

It makes me irritated to think this sad cunt works all week and literally goes 'what should I do with my limited free time? I'll polish my car again.'

I'm gonna ask because I'm almost certain I wasn't in the wrong, but thought anonymous, neutral input might help me decide if I overreacted.

I was taking my dog for a walk, it's quite a small dog but it's friendly enough and usually will sniff other dogs that sniff it or just casually walk past and I've always had a dog as a pet throughout my life, so I'm quite a dog fan/ have been walking a dog since I was little.
As I was walking today there were three people with what must have been about 10 different dogs blocking the path and so I put my dog on a lead as it is a good dog, but you never know around large groups how they might react if they panic.

As I got close, about 5 of the dogs started running towards us and barking aggressively. As I said, I've always been a dog person so a barking dog doesn't really bother me, but even I was a bit nervous when they started running and barking so fast. They were medium to large sized and surrounded my dog barking and growling at it. So I picked my dog up in my arm in case one of them took a bite and because my dog was having a bit of a mini-meltdown.

As I picked up my dog the other people started trying to call their dogs back but their dogs weren't interested and started jumping up at me. I firmly but calmly told a dog 'DOWN' and pointed with my hand but it didn't listen, by this point it was jumping up, with others, trying to get my dog and was caked in mud, covering me in mud at the same time.

It wouldn't get down a second time of asking so I firmly, but not in anyway that would harm the dog pushed its body away and to the ground.

I said to the people, again, slightly miffed I was covered in mud but nice enough 'please don't let your dog off a lead near others if you can't control it, it shouldn't be jumping or baking at other dogs like that.'

One of them stopped and said 'it's your fault, you're making your dog scared by picking it up and if you pick it up dogs are only going to jump up at you.'

This annoyed me a bit because they acted as if
A) I have no right to remove my dog from danger and carry it if I so wish
B) Their dogs had the right to jump up uncontrolled and cover me in mud (and I didn't know them, so potentially attack me)

I lost my temper and said that was a rude attitude and that if they can't control them they should have them on a lead and that they shouldn't be jumping up once again and then one, who had walked far enough way not to be in my immediate area then started shouting abuse saying I had a bad attitude and that it was my fault for picking up my dog and that if I didn't like it I was gonna have a bad time walking my dog in this area (which I've lived in all my life and walked dogs on for 20 something years and is a public green space/walkway).

I told them once again to keep their dogs they cna't control on a lead but now I'm second guessing myself.

Was I overreacting?

They were two middle aged women and a fat man and I'm a young man. I could have taken them, I will give them that, I don't think it was a 'don't walk your dog around here again or I'll knife you' type thing.

I'm just wondering how some people can justify their dogs acting aggressively and accosting people and covering them in shit and then act as if angry people are the ones that are out of place/ being unreasonable.

Not unless you're missing out some key piece of information, like that when you first saw them you started shouting at them they they're cunts and you're going to stab them then fuck the wounds.

Honestly they sound like right cunts.

You didn't over-react, you under reacted. Those are the sorts of situations where I find it hard not to punch people; those times where someone is clearly the one in the wrong yet act as if they are not only oblivious, but have the audacity to accuse you of being the instigator.

I'm guessing you're either a southerner or a woman, because I'm imagining you getting flustered and going "Well I think you're being quite rude!" instead of the more appropriate "LEARN TO CONTROL YOUR MUTT YOU FUCKING INBRED WANKER".

Normally I fuck up, but this is pretty much what happened. I was surprisingly calm considering a load of rude cunts thought their dog had the right to cover me in shit.

>>23231
Sadly I'm not, it really was a case of me going 'Get your dog on a lead if you can't control it' back and forth.

It really infuriates me people will go home thinking how they were in the right in that situation. Maybe my northerness wasn't strong enough to convey just how pissed I was.

My security question for my Blizzard account is "What make was your first car?".
Apparently "I've never owned a car what the fuck is wrong with you" is not the right answer.

That's an improvement on simply asking for your mother's maiden name. In Wales you could probably brute-force it for half the population in under five guesses.

I hate that bollocks. I've never had to use the security question for years on any of my accounts, but I recently discovered that Microsoft in particular love locking you out if you sign in from a different country. Did I remember any answers to questions I made 5+ years ago that I never had to use? No. It took me a month to be able to change my security info and get back into my accounts.

I once had to tell someone my 'mother's maiden name' over the phone.
I no longer use quite such rude words when filling in stuff, neither of us needed that level of awkwardness - I was only ever expecting to need to type it.

Those dogs sound like they are badly socialised and trained; they shouldn't be picking on other dogs or jumping up once told firmly to stop it. Medium to large dogs, or even small yappy ones, should not be allowed to go mad with jumping on people as dogs are stupid and don't always tell the difference between jumping on a grown adult and a 4 foot child. The fact that they didn't respond to being called back also indicates they're poorly trained. Also, when you have that many dogs being walked how do you even cope without at least a few of them on leads? The fact that you remained fairly polite and calm in the face of being threatened indicates that they were being more cunty than you were.
