The next time a web designer, graphic designer, writer or anyone else involved in a industry that regularly attracts freeloaders gets asked for a freebie saying it will enrich the designers life and make them rich and famous; show the requester this video…
I see this on a daily basis on the business forums I frequent and it gets so far up my nose it occasionally pops out of my ears! It really gets my goat that people honestly expect something for nothing and this chap sums it up very well…
WARNING! RUDE WORD ALERT SO YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
OK just me then. I really can’t see the point of changing the clocks twice a year. There are some who agree with it but it does actually cause more deaths and accidents in the Winter by doing so.
I woke up this morning thinking it was 9:45 and a reasonable time to end my Sunday morning lie in. Erm it was 8:45 and now has put me in a bad mood which will most likely end at some point in March…. 2009….
So if I snap at anyone or beat people up in the street or decide a life of crime could be quite fun, I cannot be held responsible, it’s down to the bloody clocks!
If I hear this phrase one more time…
“Let me tell you where I am…”
Oh really? Please enlighten me? Are you currently hovering six foot off the floor? Currently having an out of body experience and examining your own arse?
YOU’RE SAT IN A BLOODY PONCY CHAIR IN A OLD WAREHOUSE YOU MUPPET!!!!!
…and breathe…
I thought the student party organisers were nuts to go with PJ. They looked at it from a financial point of view with a slightly better deal but I would have sacrificed more for DMs experience in the industry and in particular in that area of the country. Despite the fact that she looks like she eats lemons for breakfast, lunch and dinner…
The gold plate chap was a lucky b*****d to get away with that, I was half expecting DB to drop kick him out of a second floor window.
Beef Jerky? Regardless what they looked like, the stuff still tastes like old shoe leather so no shockers there…
And Theo, good old TP, back to his slimy, pandering, irritating best as the snail of the den. God I hate the man…
and God I love this show!!!!
Unless of course for some strange reason you actually enjoy getting grief…
Four months ago my wife bought me a Tmobile phone from Woolworths as a surprise birthday present. Great I thought, lovely surprise, nice phone, thumbs up…
A week ago the phone refused to charge so off to my local Woolies I went, receipt in hand.
“Oh sorry it’s over 28 days old, you have to ring our technical support line”
“OK, can I ring them from here?”
“Nope”
All the way home, rang their “support” line…
“It’s a charger problem, you’ll have to ring Motorola”
Another national rate call later…
“Take it into Carphone Warehouse (god knows why) and they will fix it for you”
Back into the car and back into town to my local Carphone Warehouse, hereinafter known as “The Mobile Cowboys…”
“Yep it’s the charger, we can SELL you a new one for £20 or send it for repair which you MAY be charged for as the IMEI is not on the receipt…”
Now by this point I was getting pretty nicked off with the whole thing so back I went to Woolies…
“Oh sorry it’s over 28 days old, you have to ring our technical support line”
“OK, can I ring them from here?”
“Nope”
Have I slipped into a scene from Groundhog day here????? It’s the bloody charger for gods sake not the holy flippin grail!! How can it be just to swap the damn charger???
“We can’t do that as it’s over 28 days, old ring this number, blah de blah, I’m a robot etc…”
So I stormed out before I lamped the poor store manager/robot with a handy sized PS2 box…
Walking past the Tmobile shop I thought I would pop in and see if they had any spare chargers, two minutes later, all sorted…
The moral of this story? If you’re going to buy anything more complex than a pencil sharpener, DON’T GET IT FROM WOOLWORTHS!!!!
And breathe…
You know if I ran my business like this, I wouldn’t even have a business…
My dear Google,
For many years you have been my closest ally on the Internet. You have found things I never knew existed, including things I wish you hadn’t found. You’ve been rock solid and not a drama queen in your design and simplicity. You’ve stuck by me through thick and thin…
Trouble is over the last couple of years you’ve been getting rather fat and lazy. You performance in the search department has been lacking and you keep giving me results that I didn’t ask for. You’ve got loads of friends but to be honest, they are paying to take advantage of you and leading me astray with their links…
Hell, even I paid to be one of your closest friends and all you did was bleed my credit card dry and gave me nothing in return.
You’ve stopped going to gym and have turned into a gargantuan who seems intent on swallowing up the world with you mail, stats, mapping services, all of which I have tried to enjoy with you but I can’t help feeling that you’re getting too big to fit into that streamlined home page…
So I’m leaving you. I’m not sure who will be my new search mate but they will most likely be a reflection of what you used to be; fast, accurate, streamlined and a search friend not an enemy…
Goodbye…..
Dear Tony Blair,
Please pass a new law banning the creation of websites such as Yetisports.org
The simple reason is that the use of such sites leads to:
and that’s just for starters…
These types of games are more addictive than crack and if you think that de-classifying cannabis was a good way to reduce addictions to harmful substances then this should fit nicely into your plans…
Thank you,
Phil “My finger hurts” Williams
Just a word of warning if you are a spammer or a spam bot reading this blog and are thinking of posting your crummy link to various medications that would improve the quality of my sex life or offering me the opportunity to grow hair where there really shouldn’t be…
Harsh? Probably…
OK I’ll drop that damn song from the list… Better?
