Sometimes, all the TITS in the world can't help..

Over the weekend I watched this movie; "All the Boys Love Mandy Lane" on film-4.

I thought it was gonna be a slasher / tit flasher usual teen escapism crap, and I was not disappointed. It was all that and then some, 2 hours too long, crappy acting, crappy plot, and the pace of a snail...


Sometimes, no amount of TITS can improve or save a movie, and this is one of those times.

Today....

we talk, we walk, we love, we laugh, we live, we give, we dance, we sing, we eat, we drink, we weep, we sleep, wake up and be happy - tomorrow, we will clean up the mess..

Why The Short Skirt Then?

The length of skirt is an indicator & is always in proportion to the amount of talent one has, and the time one spends in the limelight. i.e. The shorter the skirt, the less talent one has...

I love Amy Macdonald - what a talent & not a skirt in sight...

Do you like my new i-phone?

Today, while looking for some rubbish to sell on eBay, we managed to come across 6 of those Chinese beauties, or as we call them in Bolton, i-Phones , circa 2003 (full 4 years before Apple's imitation iPhones).

Those are unique IP phones, each with a unique number, that can be called by you from anywhere in the world, providing that you had an i-Phone.

And if you can't live without your i-Phone, then what's better than having the new desktop model - the i-Phone 777. This comes in a sophisticated Black or a fetching White ensemble.

 (we found those today while clearing more rubbish to sell on eBay)

My daughter had her heart set on an i-Phone forever, and guess who just made her dreams come true, well almost, for around 2 seconds... But it was very funny... She hates me now...

How did we do? Tesco Shopping Experience..

Today I went shopping for some bits @ my local Tesco. 

Worst shopping experience, ever. The assistant, serving at the till, was serving a friend of hers and decided to  slow down the scanning of her friend items to a snail's pace, so that she can catch up on the latest gossip, and all the while pretending to speed up when another member of staff approaches, and ignoring the line of fed-up and disgruntled customers waiting in the queue.  And after finishing the chat, she did not even bother to say sorry about the delay or anything else.

I really found that lack of professionalism annoying and downright rude.  I wanted to leave the shopping on the conveyor belt and walk out of the store, but manners prevented me from doing that.

There is a time and a place to chat to your friends, and that is not when you are working behind the till, supposedly serving customers.

So, How did we do?  Not very well..

Is it just bad luck, or built-in obsolescence? Gone Mad.... Again (Part II)

4th July 2012 - Today the Washing Machine decided to die once again, and as per usual, it was the board, 12 months after the last board was replaced. And once again the engineer tells us how lucky we are to have bought the extended guarantee, because this repair would normally costs over £200, and this is our second repair in as many years.. (below link to original post)

Is it legal, moral, ethical or acceptable to design something to fail after 12 or so months. I don't know how to prevent this without changing the washing machine, and what if I did not want to buy the extended warranty, and the same part fails again.

And the question is, why does my washing machine needs a board when, a standard, mechanical, timer would do, and why does a washing machine has an RJ-45 network connection....
