This post is probably a bit girly for most of you, feel free to bugger off now… About 4 years ago I went on the Depo Provera jabs. As well as wanting the extra contraceptive power, I figured it’d be a good way to ditch the Monthly Terrors and the accompanying symptoms (agonising cramps, ridiculous […]

MacBook Air Sucks Too
So, Apple have released a new MacBook: the “MacBook Air”: MacBook Air is ultrathin, ultraportable and ultra … ..pointless? featureless? useless? overpriced? Yes, I totally agree. It is being piped by Apple fangirls and boys everywhere as the perfect tool for wireless communication and work on the go.. which is great, but I can do […]
Tiscali Sucks Cock
Before Christmas, Karl and I were having problems with our ISP, Tiscali. This was the first time in 3-4 years only the second time in 3-4 years that we’d had problems, despite lots of other users giving bad reviews/etc. We used them when we lived them at Karl’s mum’s and have used them since we […]
Your Ringtone Sucks
Last Friday I went up to my local town centre. I’ve mentioned it before; it’s “chav capital”, full of teenage mums and truanting children. Not the most inspiring of places really. Anyway, it was a short trip so that I could spoil myself and buy all of the things I wanted for my birthday but […]
Boycotting 1and1, Outing a Thief
I am afraid I have to interupt the “aww”s of yesterday’s post with something a little more serious. On the 19th August I found myself at minuit-soleil.net. I’m not entirely sure how I got there, but searching for potential Pants Award material I dived straight for the Visitor section, because there’s always bound to be […]
I Love Your CSS!
You know, if I see the words “I love your CSS!” once more, I think I’m going to headbutt my keyboard out of frustration. (At least then I’d be justified in buying a new laptop, right?) Seriously, it’s become an epidemic amongst those who have a vague grasp on the idea that tables for layout […]
How to Spot an E-Tard
It has come to my attention that as the Internet fills with many, many young children, the e-tard quota rapidly increases. If you find somebody afflicted with this common problem, you’ll notice that they’re probably aged 12-15, they use 8 different colours to highlight their text (because just “bold” is obviously not enough) and assume […]
securityfocus.com Are Wrong
Some little asswipe sent in a vulnerability report to securityfocus.com (the same site Amelie had faux report problems with; which just happens to mirror to thousands of blogs and security websites across the Internet) claiming that there’s a login issue in BellaBiblio and BellaBook/BellaBuffs (he couldn’t make his mind up with that one) making them […]
Customer Service.. what’s that?
Customer accidentally asks for their shopping to be sent to the wrong address. Customer tries to get parcel redelivered but the couriers refuse and send the contents back to the depot. Customer e-mails online retailer and asks for the parcel to be resent, quite happy to pay second delivery costs. Do you, as said retailer: […]
Online Shopping Hell
I know that when I rant about web standards and usability I am usually called a fun-spoiler or told that I think too much, but there are reasons for my annoyance at people’s disregard for compliance and any sort of basic testing and that’s because — despite being a developer; far above that even — […]
