Maybe the delivery ruse was meant to allow the Malteasers thief access to the target snack.

Bloody TalkTalk or thieving gyppos? Either way, I've had no broadband today which, for someone who is trying to start working from home, doing web design, is not a good thing
Major Incident - Customers in the Manchester, Lancashire and West Yorkshire areas will be unable to use their phone or broadband services due to Stolen Cabling which BT Openreach are working to resolve.

"Now this has to be a future Olympian! How many kids could swim that good at such a young age?" MSN "News" Swim that good? Swim that good? and yes, it's because I accidentally logged out of Hotmail, not because I ever visit the site consciously, but even a split second of reading has pissed me off. Worst internet site.

I think m'learned friend is referring to the poor use of the English language. The child, at a remarkably early age, is able to swim well, not good.

Are all web designers nerds with no concept of reality? Basic design principles. I think designers have forgotten that the internet, to THE MAJORITY is not fun, it never can be, it is a TOOL for finding INFORMATION. Flickr, I promised my mum, is a place to store photos. Brilliant she said. But Flickr is a mess of noise. You what? That screen greets you, blocks off all acess to the normal menu buttons, and greets wyou with that wall of technological specs, and badly-spelled words. SMile? Go [LIFTED] yourself, where do I put my photos? Where's the button I [LIFTED] press? You eventually navigate all that pissing about by calling in your son again who is competent at using the internet (ie ignoring the 99% [LIFTED] and knowing the only important, vaguely interesting button is "sign in")# So you've signed in and it says something IN [LIFTED] ROMANIAN*smug voice* now you know how to say "hello in Romanian*... AMAZING! If i was a posing student whearing a sari in Starbucks, I'D GIVE A [LIFTED]. But no, I want to USE the WEBSITE to PUT PHOTOS ON. I've spent years telling my mum it's all in English, just read what all the words say, and they throw ROMANIAN into the works on the [LIFTED] homepage. and so on.

Does Yahoo! not sound like it's serious about Flickr? Or anything...
It's a bit like Tango, only less orangey.

Flickr has always done the "hello" in different languages. It's not new.

Multiple browsers on this phone, and the final straw in trying to view the UK Netflix page was this If it's not a diseased site it's your fcuking browser

I have it on good authority that his mother had him tested. She should have taken him to see the specialist in Houston lol

Have spent the last hour being plagued by a frikkin mozzie, that stopped every time I turned on the light. It's far too late to go back to sleep, so I'm going to feel knackered all day; but at least I killed the hateful little tw@t.

Jesus fcuking Christ on a Boris bike. If it's not some twat outside with a bass drum it's that fcuked-up spastic of a father slowly dismantling the house as nosily as possible.
