The Most Fantastic Piece of History of My Lifetime

The photos on this site recall for me the late night visit to our next door neighbours to watch their colour television as the first man set foot on the Moon. In those days, I was most interested by the science. Nowadays, I am also in awe of their bravery.

Soap Shops

You're walking along, doing your shopping when suddenly, tears fill your eyes and your lungs are filled with a vomit inducing stench. Yes, you're a few shops away from one of those soap specialty shops! What do the leasing agents for Malls think they're doing when they allow these stores to move in? Surely it's bad for the business of other shops in the vicinity of the suffocating stench? While we're at it, why is the heating up so high? We come in from the cold with our coats on, are we supposed to strip down to our underpants? I'm sure the people working in the malls appreciate the heat even less than the shoppers do. Mall managers, you're wasting energy.

Don't Buy Houses With Stupid Garages!

Have you noticed a new trend? Developers building houses which are too small for the average car. Too narrow to be able to open the car doors.

There are lots around my way. People buy them! Why? I guess the developers are so greedy, they order their architects (for architects can't be that stupid) to design houses with unusable garages. Don't buy them!

Rip Off Britain

CDs DVDs you name it, we pay over the odds for it. Why? BECAUSE WE PAY OVER THE ODDS FOR IT!

Don't buy stuff that's overpriced. Those greedy bastards are getting away with YOUR MONEY!

You know the kind of place, HMV for one.

The more you do it, the more they take liberties and RIP US OFF.

Take a little time. Shop around. We'll all benefit in the end.

TLAs

What is the excuse for using TLAs (Three Letter Acronyms) or any acronyms for that matter. It shows some kind of arrogance to assume that everyone would know what your acronyms stand for. In this day and age of word processing and HTML (HyperText Markup Language), there is no excuse. In Microsoft Word for example, you can set autocorrect so that whenever you type in a few letters, it can replace them with the full text. In HTML, you can set the acronym to be link to the full text or a pop-up of the meaning. Come on, don't assume and don't be arrogant. If you want any more proof, try typing in your own commonly used acronym to something like acronym finder and see how many results come up!
