23246 Minor rants and piss-offs, Mk V
I think we're due a new thread, and this picture idea, especially considering the mark, I couldn't not make.

Auto electric windows. My shitty Rover from 2005 has them, and unlike better cars, it doesn't have the 'double click' in the window switch, so unless you want the window all the way down, you have to press the window switch down, then pull it back up when it gets to where you want it to be. It'd be much less hassle to just either have a winder or non-'auto'.

I bet part of it is the cost of replacing all the packaging and machines that do the packaging. Cheaper to replace the moulds and just use the old boxes.

Do people remember what the LAD bible used to be like?
Like an actual LADDISH site with BANTER and CASUAL SEXISM and ARSE PISSING and making FAT GIRLS CRY and all that.

I miss that.

This new clickbait version is worse because I can't fucking avoid it and they don't make any worthwhile original content. At least the old one had some fucking dickhead principles about it.

While you are there can you also remind them that I watch the news to see what is happening in the world not to be bored with the same 15 minute discussion on the US election and reactions from the public/celebrities.

I get that watching an Iraqi city in a warzone is something we're accustomed to but it doesn't even need to avoid discussing Trump. While newscasters this morning were reading off fucking protests signs China and Russia issued an interesting joint statement on how they see the future of the world which people could do with thinking about.

Is that statement just lots of fancy words to say we should just let them get away with their bullshit? Because I get the feeling that any joint statement between Russia and China is basically going to be coded language for "please look the other way while we annex Ukraine/the South China Sea".

I don't understand why various companies compete with one another to have the best Christmas advertisement nor why there should be any sort of buzz over it from normal people. The coke one might be important because of its consistency but its taking the piss for companies to put out short stories that have nothing to do with selling products.

The only Christmas ad campaign that has stuck in my mind has been the one with Joan Collins in 2002 that was a bit raunchy at one point because I was 13 (if you're interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-RvZUT4Vt-k). I'm not going to acknowledge the existence of John Lewis because I saw a dog on a trampoline much less do my Christmas shopping there like a soppy twat.

TV advertising is becoming increasingly ineffective. People are fast-forwarding through the breaks on Sky Plus, they're switching their attention to their tablet or phone, young people are spending more time online than watching linear TV.

Ad agencies and their clients are desperate to attract more attention to this once-dominant medium, but they're fundamentally very uncreative people. Most agencies don't really come up with novel ideas, but just steal them off the internet. Most clients are hopelessly conservative and won't run an idea that hasn't passed through fifteen different layers of "decision makers".

Remember a few years ago when every two-bit brand was doing a flashmob for no discernible reason? The big Christmas ad is just the current trend for clients with massive budgets but no stomach for genuine creativity. John Lewis got a lot of social media buzz with a sentimental Christmas ad, so now everyone wants a piece. It'll all be over by next Christmas and everyone will move on to the next fad.

I feel hyped over them, or treating them as must see TV suggests several depressing ideas about our society and our lives. I can't really think of an argument why without sounding like a pretentious teen lad though.

Personally I just loathe the fact that people are sheeplike enough to fall for this horseshit. I've seen at least 3 people on facebook sharing this John Lewis ad, and several more who raved last week because Costa have started doing seasonal overpriced mediocre coffee. People buy into this consumerist shite so whole heartedly.

All I can think of is that scene in Demolition Man where everyone starts cheerily singing along to the hot dog jingle. We're fucked.

TPB over SSL appears to have stopped working for me. Browser is throwing a hissy fit over the encryption. Some time and judicious applications of openssl and wireshark reveal the reason for the hissy fit is that someone at Virgin thought that responding to the encrypted request with an unencrypted redirect would be a good idea.

There is a spectrum of stuff between meaningful and meaningless. Don't give me that nihilist nonsense, either, your relationship with your family, how you spend your time, how you interact with other human beings is all more important than your seasonal pissing coffee.

I just finished watching Frankie Boyle's American Autopsy, and all it's left me with is a stark desire to smack the shit out of Richard Osman.

It's not enough that he's a dyson-grade spewer of hot-air bullshit and middle of the road left-wing platitudes but the man's face is a veritable hotplate of target points. His frankly gross gigantism lends his heavy head to have multiple target points obvious to any attacker.

I only did a bit of boxing for three months a couple of years ago but even I stare in wonder at his goofy teeth, wide jaw, high cheekbones and stumpy, t-rex arms that leave the delicious floating ribs open to all kinds of pugilistic abuse.

Tl;Dr - I want to celebrity box that effeminate cunt Osman to death on live TV. Noel Edmonds make it happen.

I'm more likely to bring up all the judo and bjj I've been doing (and still do) for the past twelve years than the three lonesome miserable months where I tried to box and mainly learned how horrible it is to get hit in the head by someone who knows what they're doing. However, the general thrust of your point probably still stands.

>>24297
> You do realise that Richard Osman is a giant?

Dunno lad he's only six inches taller than me and I doubt he weighs any more than I do. To quote a long lost friend "I've been beaten up by bigger and blacker than him before".

Yes, I realise this isn't funny any more I will stop now. Sorry. I'd still box the cunt though.

What makes it official?

I have no source of income, am overdrawn, potentially owe 6k to the tax man (failed company) (and will probably owe another 3k in about 2 months (bad accountant who failed to track my earnings correctly)) and I am ineligible for any form of benefits. Not trying to have a dick wagging contest, I just want to see if we are in the same boat. And maybe hearing about my terrible situation will make you feel better, or at least not alone.

I actually am pretty positive about it now. On the way down I was stressing like crazy, but I've hit such a low point I don't even worry. I've accepted it as an impossibility for me to pay off said debt and I have no assets or savings. So really there is nothing to threaten me with because I'll happily file for a Debt relief order if there is any attempt to get money off me.


My GF is paying all the rent and bills which seems to be more uncomfortable for my pride then it is for her.
