BBC Have Your Say as a mouthpiece for the BNP

17/10/2009 – 18:08

If anyone were in any doubt that the BBC Have Your Say forum is being used by right-wing extremists like the BNP to push their views, today’s question about Binyam Mohamed should soon clear them up: Send him home!!!! [RulaBritannia], Bradford, United Kingdom and Yet again the system making me think its time to give [...]

List of things installed by iTunes 9

The shear amount of crap it installs in unbeliveable: iTunes itself Quicktime Apple Mobile Device service Bonjour Service iPod Service iTunesHelper startup task QTTask startup task Firefox plugin iPod Classic drivers iPhone drivers Apple Software Update Grand Total: 276MB [...]

eBay is broken

15/09/2009 – 18:57

The idiots at eBay have done it again. They managed to break the auction pages: Nice one. You broke the most important page on your site.

More BNP nonsense on BBC Have Your Say

03/08/2009 – 18:59

It seems that the BNP has been making a big effort lately to push their views via the BBC Have Your Say forums. It’s not surprising really, as the forums get millions of page views but you only need ~150 votes for your comment to rise to the top, something any interested group with more [...]

Weycrest really suck, kNET are really good

15/07/2009 – 21:40

For about a year now my site, including this blog, has been hosted with Weycrest. During that time, their service has really, really sucked. First, there is the down-time. For months my site would randomly go offline for a few hours and then come back. Messages to tech support via the ticketing system or direct [...]

I'm really upset with Subaru's attitude

08/05/2009 – 21:02

The government scrappage scheme for 10+ year old cars seems like a good opportunity to replace something that will probably need replacing in the next few years anyway. Sure, I could get another few years out of my Suzuki, but I won’t get £2000 for it and won’t get the 2.5% VAT reduction either. I [...]

Too stupid for their own good

16/01/2009 – 23:01

The BBC Have Your Say forums are an almost unending source of distress for any half way sane observer, but occasionally I feel moved to comment. Today’s question: Would you like to see calorie counts on menus? The responses are predictable; “no” to the nanny state, telling us what to eat, where we can pollute [...]

More HYS stupidity

25/11/2008 – 19:31

The moronic comments posted on the BBC Have Your Say forums never cease to amaze me. Let’s take this gem from the “Will you benefit from the pre-Budget report?” forum: Actually worse-off. I calculate that the NI increase on my salary will cost me an additional grand a year. Ordinairy Joe, Leicestershire, United Kingdom NI [...]

Jonathan Ross is a childish racist

29/10/2008 – 23:00

With all the fuss over Ross and Brand’s prank phone messages recently, I felt compelled to share my feelings on the former. This latest escapade is just the latest example of his immaturity, which while occasionally funny has done a lot of damage over the years. I’ve disliked Ross ever since the racist Japanorama. Back [...]

Virgin Media 50meg: utterly useless

23/10/2008 – 22:28

VM are going to launch their 50mbit service soon, after years of trials, but predictably it’s all just hype. The service itself is completely pointless. There is no-one whom this service will benefit. A TV show (350MB) takes about 3 minutes to download on the current 20 meg service. Say about 8-9 for HD. You [...]
