Doritos and Dodgeball

If you haven't got round to playing this yet, you're missing out.
Devised by those clever folk back at AMV, and produced by the ever talented Unit9 you are, by
the power of 21st century technology, able to go online and shoot people like Timmy Mallett
(sadly only with harmless balls) - for those outside the UK, he's an annoying twat who happens
to get on the TV, a lot.
It's a great execution of work allowing pretty much realtime shooting from your mouse,
which must have been a logistical nightmare, but it's worked extremely well and certainly
captures the silliness that is Dodgeball.
A quick apology for anyone who plays Dodgeball at a serious level, I'm not taking the piss.
By all accounts Jody Marsh (another talentless halfwit who happens to crave attention)
was pretty good even though she has a phobia of balls - oh it's too easy so I won't.
So, click the link, log in and get firing at the hapless fools. Take note, there is a team
from AMV heading down on Sunday - so get your eye and trigger finger in before then.

Argentinian Taxi Driver returns £22k to owner


Argetinian taxi driver Santiago Gori found £21,600 in the back of his cab. After a few days of searching he found the elderly couple and returned their money. A website has been set up to thank Mr Gori for his exemplary behaviour.

What a stand up guy, a gentlemen even.

Faith in human nature restored a little today.

Orange, just how shit can you actually get?


How absolutely shit can the above company get?

Run by a bunch of fucking idiots who seem to be clueless as to what's going on around them. Orange, you are wasting resources, time, effort and customers with practises that are more in line with Dickens than the 21st century.

I've been with Orange for 9 years and never had a bad word to say against them, until now. Not only will they not let me change my phone (even though my personal situation has changed massively and I wanted to give them more money, lots more money) but they've now stiffed me for massive roaming costs, even though I couldn't use my phone properly abroad.

On top of that, I reach the customer service department (how about looking up the phrase Customer Service and finding out exactly what it means you donuts!) who have been utterly useless - where did you get these people from?, the fallout of the banking industry? - In fact, they've been worse than useless because they have proven to me that Orange don't give a shit about loyal customers.

So here it is Orange, you have lost me and countless others with your behaviour. I'm leaving and when I exit your shit arse customer services team are going to get the works from me. I wouldn't feel a twinge of guilt if you go under before the end of the year.

Well done France Telecom for ruining a perfectly good company, a sterling job done all round.

Here's to your demise.

Politicians, greedy bastards or just misunderstood?

It's a simple question with a simple answer. Greedy bastards.

Just because you can do it Geoff (and the rest of you are no better) doesn't mean that you should. I can't actually believe that you thought this was correct. You're more of an idiot than your picture portrays, well done for that at least.

Every 10 plus years this country plunges through the floor, you take none of the responsibility and we move on. Governments change and the whole 600 + of you in Parliament get even more money out of the taxpayer.

You have no shame, you're disgraceful and above all you don't seem to see how you're not a fault.

Yes the system of MP's expenses needs immediate change, and there are a number of routes to make this easy for both the public and MP's to understand.

What also needs to change is the attitude of MP's - it cannot and will not continue in the vein that it is now.

Using tax payers money to pay for your 3rd house. Your 3rd house for fuck's sake!

I need not say anymore. For now.

Binyam Mohamed, if you dance with the devil.....

I can't sit here and say that I agree with the CIA's or MI5's tactics.

However, one thing is certain. You do not, under any circumstances, go to Afghanistan to wean yourself off drugs.

That's tantamount to a gambling addict going to Vegas to "sort his head out"

The story doesn't really hold up does it?

Binyam, your friends and family should have given you sound advice, which you would have done well to take on board.

Sympathy for your plight, yes I have some but really, there were some extremely bad decisions on your part.

Everton vs Liverpool and ITV fuck it up with style.

Is it any wonder that Sky Sports has done so well when given that this is the competition?

Grade saying that steps are in place to make sure it doesn't happen again.

How the fuck did it happen in the first place? why weren't steps in place to stop this. Are there steps in place to stop this happening with other live events?

I don't remember weird ad breaks coming on at the wrong time when other live events have been broadcast.

Inept twats.

Bergmonch Folding backpack bike









Those that know me well enough can and bloody will testify to my fanatical approach to outdoor sports and general running around.

So imagine my delight when I saw this in Inhabitat - a bike that weighs in at 9.5kg, folds out from a backpack and has storage facilities also.

No price as yet, but RRP should be under £400 - well let's hope so.
