When you buy a game for download, and hoping to start the download before you go to work so you can play when you get home and they send you an email saying "Your game has been purchased we'll send you a download link in the next hour."

An hour!? What the utter fuck? It's digital you fuck nuts, why not you know send it now?!

Argh

These people. (they should be dragged into the street and shot)

Mercedes driver pulls into traffic, goes across 3 lanes cut off a mini van almost clips it, mivi van hoots at merc driver, who then rolls down the windows and flips off the mini van driver. It's at times like that I wish I had rocket launchers on my car. 1 x smoldering pile of Merc driver.

I experiment a bit in my free time and remember thinking about one of these years ago:

Obviously will need miniaturizing to an extent. Still, cool no? Especially since modern cars rely so heavily on electronics.

Rude bastards at work.

Fair enough he's the CEO but he asked me to produce something for him and drop it into his office, saying not to speak as he was on a call. I went in to his office, left it on his desk and he practically chased me out of the room like a flapping goose protecting its young!

I felt like saying "we're all busy mate, I've got a particularly taxing RAWK Draft selection to make".

Apparently so. But he meant Angela. So that's cleared up. But to be on the safe side it might be best if you swerved Angola. Sounds a bit manky and there's loads of other places to see - provided the wildlife don't see you first and think "Din dins" of course. Cue the old leopard joke .........

So you haven't been?

No. I make it a rule to never go to places where the wildlife are hellbent on killing me. I generally tend to stick to adopting/sponsoring cats, dogs and donkeys. I did toy with the idea of adopting a snow leopard, but got a bit concerned as to what would happen when the fucker rocked up outside my door "Just sign here missus". My darling Angel kittycat can do a fair amount of damage with her pretty claws when she sets her mind to it - so a snow leopard was out of the question.

It's the wildlife that interests me about Africa. And they're rarely hellbent on killing you. They either ignore you or observe you right back. As you like cats, Maggie...

self-service checkouts at supermarkets. Imagine working there, the temptation to top yourself must be incredible after hearing 'place your item into the baggage area' all day long.

Couple of recent ones:

Cycle goons on trains- dressed head to toe in sponsored lycra and insisting on wearing your helmet indoors, obnoxiously taking up half the carriage with your huge bike, then hiking it up the escalator to get out of the station. Please fuck off. If you love cycling so much, cycle the 50 miles from home to work.

Smokinmg vs vaping. Just because I am smoking an e-cigarette does not mean you can rock up right next to me and light a cigarette, it is not the same, and you stink. Please go away.

Also @ the vaper who smugly flouts the unwritten rule about not doing it in enclosed public places, please stop looking so pleased with yourself outside the office Starbucks with your stupidly massive machine every lunchtime.

ECO this ECO that and ECO everything. An ECO electric oven, ECO iron, ECO fridge, ECO hair dryer, ECO dishwasher, ECO washing machine, ECO tumble dryer in fact anything that uses shit loads of electricity is somehow ECO.

Diesel cars, the most polluting of all are ECO!! I was stuck behind a lorry this morning, belching out plumes of smoke while declaring it was ECO on its badge.

Just another marketing ploy conning people into paying more because it says ECO!!

I'm notorious for doing that. In our house there's always at least three rolls on the go, I get a bollocking for doing it but carry on all the same. No idea why I do it either.

Thank you very much for posting that glorious pic ZZ. What a magnificent animal. I might give Africa a go after all. I do like wildlife programmes. But I'd take someone with me who couldn't run as fast as me though.
