Brits shun country life over phone not-spot fears

I hope you're not trying to sell me something, we don't like your travelling salesmen sort round here!

We are far too busy fox-hunting, hare coursing and building dry stone walls to bother with a broadly-bandy thing or whatever you call it. You sophisticated city types should keep out of the countryside if its too rough for you.

Facebook's current advertising "system" is a complete joke which must have been programmed in an afternoon after a lunch of a few JaegerM+RB's and mutual high-fives.

If I write "I think Liam Gallagher is a complete twat" in my status I am bombarded with ads featuring Liam Gallagher. Yes, I am an avid football fan, but only of <ONE> team and I'd rather stick pins in my eyes than buying anything with an Arsechesterpool City Hotspurs badge on it.

At least with Google there is a bit of like, er, y'know "context" and stuff.

NASA to make MAJOR ALIENS REVELATION this week

They're just after our money

Apparently fierce property speculation within the Nebulon Ring Confederation exacerbated by over-hyped complicated financial instruments like collateralized debt obligations and mortgage backed securities (baffling even the best brains of millenia old extra-terrestrial civilisations) has led to a complete meltdown of the galactic financial system.

Banking representatives from the Nebulon Ring are due on Earth this Friday for showdown talks about a bailout of their banking system, which will be made more complicated because senior Nebulon bankers are still expecting their bonuses this year.

Must the middle classes on this planet pay for EVERYTHING??
