Facebook says it's LOSING money in the UK ... pays hardly any tax

Re: Time for a subsidy?

I think the money would be better spent on just sectioning anyone who relies on facebook as a vital part of their community actually.

Skype worm chats up victims - then holds PCs to ransom

Re: "lol is this your new profile pic?"

I did that on purpose - its traditional round here to always screw up when making a point about someone else's poor language skills.

"lol is this your new profile pic?"

There was a time when robbing people was done using proper English such as "Give me you're fucking wallet or I'll superglue you to the inside of a lift!" and none of this "lol" business!

Teachers get earful of racy XXX chat in Capita IT cock-up

I just tried phoning up for my regular sesh with Miss Cane, I had my dunces cap on and everything but instead got put through to some bloody teacher's IT help desk!

Motörheadphönes ears-in review

More Ace of Bass than Ace of Spades if you ask me!

If the music has been properly produced and mixed there's no need for a special type of headphone for certain genres of music as the music has already been eqed and mixed to sound good on any average loudspeaker thingy surely? - actually I slightly get the bass thing for dance and rap, but specialist metal headphones? I thought you were supposed to listen to that stuff loud in a dark room dripping with sweat not on your tod sat in an armchair or on the bus!

The only celebrity endorsed headphones I ever want are the Paris ones - apparently they need to be sterilised before use or you could catch ear herpes off them! Or so I'm told!

Google Wallet: Rub our button, cough 15p for quick read

You should put it on this website if the advertising business ever goes titsup - the amount of times I have clicked on to a story with a kinky sounding headline only to find it was boring technology and not hardcore supersex after all, you'd be giving me a lot of refunds!

Drinking too much coffee can MAKE YOU BLIND

Re: Ha! The catholic church tried the same trick on me.

I always close my eyes when I do it, so it does kind of make me go blind! It's blinding stuff though!

Draft UK libel law forces websites to axe mudslinging comments

Defamation Bill is gay

He's actually bi - I had a threes-up with him and Defamation Gill once - On the 'Heath' we used the old 'looking for badgers' excuse.

Sue me Bill and I'll tweet those pictures of you in your badger fursuit at 'that convention'

Adobe scrambles to revoke stolen cert

Malware signed as Adobe software

Adobe - Does exactly what it says on the tin

Paris because she actually comes with a certificate of sorts herself so I am led to believe!

Smartphones may soon listen in on you while they sleep

For the record it was a jeans still on situation - you know what I mean, well I assume you do, and the phone was unlocked and in my pocket and did a last number redial or something and my mums voice started coming out of my crotch :D

Phone and bedrooms do not mix - like the time I accidentally called my mum while I was in bed with someone.

OLYMPIC SECRETS to stay locked up for 15 YEARS

This is a really crap forum comment

Google acts against prostitution app after complaints from Congress

'Programming on Windows 8 just like playing bingo' - Microsoft VP

I played programming Bingo once

It was very confusing - two fat ladies 88, yeah I understand that - but it got very confusing when the bloke plucking the balls out shouted - two fat fucks - FF! - programming Bingo uses hexadecimal in turns out!

Forty Canadian birds BONKING against windows EVERY MINUTE

Re: The greasiness of birds native to Surrey

Just to note, I am not thick (well not that thick) the first incident with the seagull happened in Kent, I am not so dumb as to think Surrey has a shore line - unless the banks of the river at Staines-upon-the-Thames is considered tidal!?

The greasiness of birds native to Surrey

I've actually once seen, and again once heard, bird on glass bonking action myself!

First one was seagull vs seafront sash window - the bird ended up dead in the light-well. The second one was an unidentified bird on a window in an unoccupied room. Judging by the huge smear of grease it left behind, I suspect it was a dirty pigeon as I am led to believe pigeons are greasy birds - do we have any Bill Oddieians here who can confirm the greasiness of birds native to Surrey?

Twitter to UK.gov: Web super-snoop law will trample twits' rights

Ban UK users from using it then

It will have an upside in that the internet will no longer be polluted by Stephen Fry's textual raw sewage.

Google to axe IE 8 support, cuts off Windows XP lifeline

Re: Silly old google!

I use XP - because frankly as far as I can tell, it does (well soon to be did) pretty much everything I need a computer to do and the more recent versions don't add any thing for me.

So why the f@#k would I upgrade? Because I wish to have less money, because I like wasting time installing apps and pissing about with hard-disks? No!

That would be like buying a Barrett home's one bedroom starter home and burning down your lovely four story Georgian town house because it's a bit old now!

Microsoft's and Google's view seems to be, lets just build a great big f@#king toll motorway through the site of your lovely Georgian town house so you'll be forced to live in a toy town Barrett shit box made of MDF and builders spittle! That'll learn ya!

People are still on XP because it's actually quite good (for a piece of useless shite) you should of made it more like ME if you wanted people to abandon it sooner!

Mine's the one hanging on a beautifully crafted mahogany coat hook in the hallway but which will soon be hanging on an IKEA plastic coat hook on the back of the living room door due to having had my house forcibly 'upgraded'.

Job-hunting honeybees rely on 'meth' to find work

I saw 'meth'

and was expecting a bee version of Breaking Bad - I'm now left thoroughly disappointed!

Icon is of course a meth lab exploding like at the end of season four.

Apple threatens to ruin peace worldwide with voice-controlled iMacs

intelligent walls

What is one of those?

I have these bits of wall in my house that are quite clever, they are like normal walls but they give you the option of seeing through them, due to them being made from a transparent material. They are also quite smart in that they give you the option of 'opening' them, thus turning them into a wall that is temporarily non-wall like. Quite handy for letting in fresh air I find! And if none of this functionality takes your fancy, simply close it again, and use a special accessory called a curtain to cover the see through area. And there you have it! It becomes a plain old wall once again!

Oh yeah, they're called Windows! So Apple wants us to use their voice tech to control Windows does it!

Work for beer, Neil Gaiman's wife tells musicians

"We will feed you beer, hug/high-five you up and down (pick your poison), give you merch and thank you mightily for adding to the big noise we are planning to make,"

Beer, hugs and big noises? What is that, an invitation to an orgy or something?

BT gets postcode knickers in twist, plants Shoreditch on Mount Everest

Re: Failing it's GCSE geography?

Please don't knock geography it is a wonderful subject at school and college, I loved it - it seems to be a soft target for jokes a lot of the time, take the piss out of French instead, a totally useless subject!

As for the topic at hand, I have had this shit from Google maps myself recently - taking me to weird places when entering partial postcodes. As for solving this issue, they need a check box that let's you toggle on or off common sense, that should work!

Surrey council plans to SAVE money by switching to BT

...or just a dickhead ahahaha

I live in Surrey but am originally from Berkshire - does that make me a unicorn too?

Worker dumps council staff's private data in supermarket skip

True story

I know someone who as part of his work, was acting on behalf of a client who was a former employee of that council. Anyway, this person I know needed some info on his clients pension, so he called up the council to enquire - they told him to go look in the bins round the back of ASDA and if he couldn't find it there, try the bins outside Lidl!

New monkey species with massive blue arse found in Africa

Re: keyboard please ...

I know, I can't imagine George Alogireahhh (however you spell it) saying "scientist have discovered a new species of monkey and bloody hell its got a huge blue arse!"

I could imagine Paxman saying it, but he is post watershed.

Australian tabloid decides to fight trolls ... with trolls

You should ignore what I just said I was trolling.

BT wins £33m Surrey council superfast broadband deal

I believe I am right in saying that Surrey is the most populous county in Great Britain so it could actually be true that there are more BT shareholders here than anywhere else (excluding London and other large cities maybe)

Investor pulls out of Facebook, pumps cash into pork-printing joint

Re: Have you ever seen an animal butchered and the meat processed?

Clearly you cannot understand English mate..................

I said I do not find the process involved in making good quality meat to be disgusting. Good quality meat is never made in factory conditions and the animals have a decent life - makes their meat much much more yummier if they aint all stressed out. I actually clearly stated that some of the factory farming process are sick did I not?

Man made meat - what the heck is wrong with you - yes, synthetic, non natural meat however you want to call it. I don't want to eat that shit. Give me some man made replacement organs if I need them but I am not eating that fucking lame shit! You can if you want, I am sure your printed out roast beef will be lovely and full of flavour.............. I'll stick to brutally killing cows and eating their flesh. I am obviously the most evil person in the world for that arnt I!

Fucking most epic fail I ever seen here.. You suck mate.

Have you ever seen an animal butchered and the meat processed?

Yes I have thank you. There is nothing I find disgusting about the process actually. Some of the factory framing methods are however pretty sick, but good quality meet, no nothing about it turns my stomach at all. I am well aware where meet comes from thank you. I am not sure why all the downvotes - clearly you lot are happy to eat man made meat - I'm not. It's totally gross like I said. On the other hand, dead animals, blood, guts, organs - yum yum!

Give me tough chunk of offal over printed bacon anyday.

Oh man, reading that is making me want to throw up, seriously, that is totally gross!

I feel sorry for anyone who's in prison, school or eats fast food in fifteen years time. I would say go veggie but they'll probably be printing out carrots by then too at this rate!

Foxconn certified as good employer, rights groups disagree

Re: Cheap labour is everywhere

I thought for a moment you meant Foxconn were already running Medway Council! lol

Re: Cheap labour is everywhere

They'll be making iPhones here at this rate - Maybe Foxconn should buy up the Medway towns and turn it into a new factory complex - it will make the area more desirable!

Councils launch eight spying ops on Brits A DAY using RIPA

Bloody nora!

I just went out, and across the street from the pet shop were a load of Trading Standards Puppy Swat team officers about to do an armed raid!

As I neared the said pet shop, I heard the commanding officer on his radio say "okay guv, were going in, over" and with that - the whole team, all 20 or 30 of them, with riot shields, semi automatic weapons, and small dog cages stormed the tiny animal filled shop unit!

As the officer leading the charge smashed the door down using a battering ram, he shouted through his megaphone "By the power invested in me by RIPA, I am conducting a test purchase of a small puppy on behalf of your local Trading Standards department!". The shop then quickly became filled with thick clouds of tear gas that, along with the terrifying screams and barks of human shop staff and live canine shop produce, spewed out into the midday street!

I thought it was slightly heavy handed to be honest!

GPO 2.0

UK.gov's minimum booze price dream demolished

Booze if you ask me, is the most dangerous drug in use in this country - the sheer numbers of deaths, assaults, broken homes, abuse, fucked up lives it plays a part in is why I hold this view. Along with first hand experience of what I call "drunk twats" who have done a good job of ruining parts of my life - thanks dad!1

However - I am not someone who wants it banned, blames it for all social evils, wants minimum pricing, or any of that bollocks. I also do like a nice pint or glass of wine, and heck, even occasionally have been known to get sloshed.

I want a sensible approach taken to dealing with problem drinkers, the question of booze advertising, health costs - not yet more ill informed legislation. WTF is up with drink, drug and health policy in this country (well most countries)?

Do something to stop people like my dad killing themselves with drink - upping the price aint guna matter - just means more kids go without food like I did so their alky parents can get their fix!

I don't know what the answer is though - maybe its to kill all politictards with alcohol poisoning.

Sony PlayStation Vita sales crawl

Nitnetndo and Sony...
