Even Waterstones …

This, from the UK’s leading high street bookseller. You’d expect them to get it right, wouldn’t you? It should be “Waterstones.com has shipped your order.”

Nando’s - Cheltenham
Posted in Angry, Rambles on Nov 8th, 2008 No Comments »
This place is fucking awful. If you’re in the area and need food, save yourself the hassle and go to Burger Burger or Prezzo.
OK, so I get that Nando’s is fast food, and I get that you don’t freeze the chicken, but is there any need to take 40 minutes to serve a cold chicken [...]
Bacon sandwiches

Fresh white bread, think, rindless bacon, butter, and brown sauce. So much brown sauce, in fact, that I broke in to a sweat. Perfect.
Gloucestershire Constabulary and their special parking privileges

Supposing I parked on the mini roundabout shown on this map (http://tinyurl.com/665rk3 - Cambray Place and Bath Place), on double-yellow lines with the front of the car in front of the give way lines, and the back of the car behind them, with a log-book on the dashboard that said “Gloucestershire Constabulary” should I expect [...]
Costa Coffee - Waterstones, Cheltenham
Posted in Rambles on Nov 6th, 2008 No Comments »
My God this coffee shop is dreadful. I’ve complained about it before, but I’m amazed that it has managed to get worse. At lunchtime today there was one person serving and no other member of staff in sight.
Eight tables (some inside, some out on the terrace) were stacked with used crockery, left over food, and [...]

There’s no way women are from Venus. It’s too far away and they’d never manage the navigation.

Who’s the prick that thought automatically restarting a PC, without user intervention while applications are running, was a good idea? I just got in to work this morning to find that an Windows update required an automatic restart. The PC restarted even though applications were running. Did it restart the applications for me? Did it [...]
Aaaah, fsck it!

A few minutes after I put all my nice, clean laundry away, this happened. That black bag in the lower-right is a rubble sack, already full of plaster. Marvellous.
Fortunately no one was hurt, and there’s no significant damage to any of the furniture. It could have been more serious - that lump of plaster resting [...]
Old Course ‘may crumble into sea’
Posted in Rambles on Oct 13th, 2008 No Comments »
From the BBC:
An environmental expert in St Andrews has warned the year 2050 could see the town’s famous golf course, the Old Course, crumble into the North Sea.
OK. Global warming, and all that. Obviously an expert.
Prof Bebbington, of St Andrews University, also visualises a car-sharing nation of vegetarians, a country with evolving values, ‘respected and [...]
Fat bitch eats a shit-load of junk food and pays - the ultimate price

Brilliant!
FAST food fan Natalie Jackson was hit with a £150 fine at KFC — for staying too long gorging on a monster-sized “family bucket”.
