The BBC are a pile of crap - not my opinion but a Not the Nine o'clock News joke..... ...showing my age now

I'd end up in a shallow grave in the back garden if I spent £8,500 on a TV.....

That poor woman who's got engaged to a pair of jeans - she'd have been better off with a pair of chinos.....

GTA5 is the excuse I've been waiting for to buy a 50" TV - any recommendations?

Hi, I finally did manage to track down why I had received the headphones - We had subscribed to a Dennis Publishing magazine (a gift from my wife which I didn't know about at the time) and they were a free gift for doing so. The company at that address was contracted to mail out the items.

Or Eric Pickles....

Sorry, I forgot, running the country is just like any other job isn't it? Mon - Fri 9-5....... Nothing ever happens evenings or weekends. I forgot.

And why was Fatty Cameron there watching it? Shouldn't he have been running the country or something?

Ah, the boys in their summer dresses....

Amazing! Well done, Murray! Britain is now officially not crap at everything we've invented!

Ah, the girls in their summer dresses......

Burgers - nah. Let's talk about pasties!

Sun? Heat? What are they?

WTF does this mean, "On the face of it, our Silver SuperKords may look very expensive, but put the cost of them into context. Say you have a system with a £5,000 CD player in it, which you love the sound of. But what happens when the upgrade bug bites? You might find that to upgrade your sound, you might need to invest in a player costing upwards of £10,000. Now, in our opinion, upgrading your £5,000 CD player’s mains lead to a Silver SuperKord SD II will bring about an even bigger upgrade than upgrading your player to the next model… and it’s cheaper. In that context, surely the Silver SD II SuperKords offer extremely good value for money?"

Do you set both the BIOS Supervisor and User passwords (obviously a different one for each) for your staff laptops? I do this and we've had some staff wibbling on about how they have to enter "too many passwords" - d'oh....... it's two ffs....! One for the BIOS and one to log on - hardly takes any time does it?!

You're drunk and only realised when you'd sobered up that your head was mashing the keyboard?

It's Windows 8.1. It's from Microsoft. It's still sh!te. Let's hope they can get it right finally with Windows 20.0.... ...by which time I'll be dead. Hopefully.

Yes, I got the email this morning asking me to change my password.

With me it's gotta be my iPad. I'm welded to it.

Glad I don't have shares in Pirelli - huge PR/marketing disaster for them.

Can I jump in with pushing organ donation? You can add your name to the NHS Organ Donor Register and one day you may be able to save lives. https://www.organdonation.nhs.uk/how_to_become_a_donor/registration/consent.asp Transplants are one of the most miraculous achievements of modern medicine. But they depend entirely on the generosity of donors and their families who are willing to make this life-saving or life-enhancing gift to others. One donor can save the life of several people, restore the sight of two others and improve the quality of life of many more. The more people who pledge to donate their organs and tissue after their death, the more people stand to benefit. By choosing to join the NHS Organ Donor Register you could help to make sure life goes on for many others. Joining the register records your agreement to the use of your organs and tissue for transplantation after your death. When you register it is important that you tell those closest to you about your decision. To decide whether or not you wish to become a donor after you have died is something very personal and it is important that everyone makes their own decision. Here are answers to the most commonly asked questions about organ and tissue donation to help resolve any doubts you might have about leaving a legacy of life for others after you die.
