Apologies for poor pun in the title.

It's just as well I'm on my own tonight. I'm ready to burst every single blood vessel in my body and scream a big 'aaaarrrrrgggggghhhhh' for several hours.

Bloody bloody virgin.

Two weeks after getting set top box and it not working - finally get the engineers out.

Out of the van pop two extras from Two Pints of Lager and a packet of crisps.

4 minutes later, their baseball caps are merely a sillouhette in the air. Apparently its working, but need to ring up later to get them to re-activate the smart card.

Apparently.

Ring them. Re-boot sent. Ring them. Re-boot sent. Ring...etc

They might need to send an engineer out. I try to explain that they already have.

I could fucking hit someone. Hard.

It's times like these that make me reach for the junk food.

Fuckity fuckity fuckwits.

Im off to Sainsburys for a pig out.

Wankers

Help me understand, please. I'm a clever chap, and usually understand most things, but this has got me stumped.

No, not why has Danny Wallace become a corporate BBC whore and robbed us of what hes good at.

No, not why does my mailbox at work send me a message saying I am over my limit, yet it manages to get through to my mailbox, thus making it more over my limit that it was before it sent it, even though the point of the message is I have no space to receive messages.

It's this:

Yesterday I bought one solitary potato (baking variety) from Sainsburys. Price per kilo, about £1.99. Price for a SINGLE potato - 39p.

A packet of similarly sized spuds, 4 in total, costs 73p. Or thereabouts.

Why? How can this be? How can it be cheaper for the supermarket to sell the SAME variety of potato, of the SAME size, but PAY to package them in a nice little (bad for the environment) plastic bag, have someone or some machinery working away to sort and filter and bag and label and box etc...than to have the SAME potato, NOT having any of this labour applied to it, selling for over TWICE the price????????

.....and people say I've got too much time on my hands.
