Jeremy Kyle, and his TV show of the same name, have been out of these pages for far too long. For years, the unemployed and unwashed of Great Britain had the dubious pleasure of witnessing every social ill that faced the UK played out in the glorious technicolour of the Trisha show. Occasionally, we would [...]

An obvious entry, but really, nobody likes them, do they? Traffic wardens per se are not a bad thing. The fundamental problem with a Traffic Warden is their inability to see anything other than black or white (or lines of yellow) – “I’m just stopping for three minutes to unload my car” – TICKET. Couple [...]

Having been resoundingly lambasted for several of my recent posts, I’d like to make it clear that I actually like Deal or No Deal. As the title of this website suggests, though, even the best things in life can be shit. Deal or No Deal certainly has some shitty aspects. Infuriating, even. I’m talking, here, [...]

Banana flavoured foods are horrible. There are some flavours that simply cannot be replicated, and banana is one of them – think about it, banana milkshake, banana yoghurt, banana angel delight, and – my personal favourite – banana medicine. Imagine the scene – I, a seven year old boy, with a mild illness am being [...]

Too expensive, I think so! Online gaming? Not easy. Sony’s PlayStation 3 has not been anywhere near as competitive as everyone would have hoped, and its release was put back time and again too. The PS3 is a resounding failure by all accounts. Still not sure, watch this promotional video.

Every now and then, a fashion or style comes along that leaves sensible people the world over shaking their heads in disbelief. One of the worst, and most frustratingly here-to-stay, is the Metrosexual Male. There are several examples of metrosexual styling, not least in the mish-mash world of sporting celebrity, just think of the following: [...]

Sporks: those half spoon, half fork monstrosities. No reasoned arguments for and against here, I just don’t like them.

Fuel boycotts are utterly useless. Here’s the premise: fuel (petrol, gasoline) is too expensive, what can we do? Boycott fuel for a day (or a week, or, as the French enjoy so much, block all the fuel trucks in with tractors/wagons)! Then they’ll surely reduce the price. Cash back for all! Except the issue just [...]

I just finished watching the movie Marie Antoinette. There’s an hour and a half of my life I’ll never get back. What a truly awful film. Absolutely nothing happens. Historically, it is shambolic. The accents and language range from American, to Oxford English, with a dose of pseudo French accents in one or two actors, [...]

Every day, it seems, we are given the results of a completely useless ‘study’ in news reports. These usually share one or all of the following elements of uselessness: Absolute mind-crushingly obviousness – e.g. “Scientists have discovered that people enjoy doing nice things…” Completely pointless research – e.g. “Researchers at the New York University have [...]
