Because even the best things in life can be shit

Another bane of the e-world we now live in are e-hoaxes or well intentioned warnings that are promulgated to all and sundry in your address book.
An example:
Dear All
If you receive a phone call on your mobile from any person, saying that he or she is a company engineer, or telling that they’re checking […]

Enough said I think. According to the Beeb’s website, the book is ‘eagerly anticipated’ and due to be published in October 2008.
I can barely wait. Soft, strong and so very absorbant. She is a widemouthed frog with a disagreeable husband and distinctly dodgy leanings - remember her representing the ‘poor’ Afghan hijackers in their Asylum […]

These little pests are the bane of my life. Here in Germany they are an annoyance, but where the situations are right they are the carrier of disease, or rather the female anopheles mosquito is (always the ladies) in the case of malaria…
Most creatures have some purpose, albeit a little hard to figure out. What […]

The internet is fast overtaking the television as the primary source of information for many people. Apparently, in the 16-25 age group, people are now spending more hours online than they do watching television. But this does not stop the TV stations from stealing their ‘news’ from YouTube (and promoting that website in the process!).
I’m […]

Supermarkets are crap.
These huge aircraft carrier sized warehouses, with their “buy one get one free” and “rollback” offers, provide little to refute any claim that their only concern is the bottom line - above anything else - like customer satisfaction; paying fair prices; and avoiding monopolised markets.
Loyalty Cards
Just to make sure I buy everything […]

What is more annoying than people braying on about how busy they are?
Not much.
Living in a city can be a demanding experience. There is an underlying feeling of running out of time that’s driving everyone to scurry around cramming in as much ‘Warmest regards’ crackberry sign-offs between crayfish and rocket sandwiches as is humanly
possible.
Maybe I’m […]

Chain letters are a real shitter. Totally pointless, and a waste of everyone’s time.
These come in various guises:
Chain Emails
They usually say something like “send this on to 10 friends and you’ll feel a little better. Send it to 100 and you’ll get a lot of money tomorrw. Send it to all your contacts and you’ll […]

Why on earth does every news broadcast use meaningless outside broadcast shots to fill up space?
For example, any crime story on the BBC has to have a reporter - or better call them commentator, for they don’t report - outside Scotland Yard (New Scotland Yard for overseas readers). There, the triangular metal signpost turns relentlessly: […]

Being Emo is very 2005.
Emos are shit because of the contradictions that they represent: “I don’t want to conform, therefore I’ll become part of a group”… and hang around outside a train station, or in a park, looking sad.
Grow up.
Just because you are a teenager, and you have a thousand hormones racing around your body, […]

Paris Hilton embodies all that is wrong in contemporary society.
She is a socialite with few morals; no sense of decency; a complete lack of conscience; and one eye on the main chance at all times.
Hilton was thrown in jail for her disregard in a culmination of events played out in high-profile media-grabbing fashion - following […]
