Why is it so hard to get good quality stuff any more?

We’ve been told for years that we’re now living in a throw-away society, yet at the same time we’re told to cut down on packaging, cut down on purchases, recycle more…

How?

You buy an expensive piece of equipment, it breaks 2 days after the warranty runs out, but you can’t get it replaced because (according to the manufacturer) it isn’t cost effective, it would cost more to repair than it does to buy a new one.

Although you have to love how they don’t give you the option of repair to judge the cost for yourself.

It’s that time of year again.

Time to go rushing out to show your significant other how much you love them by showering them with chocolates, flowers and sexy lingerie.

Because after all, nothing says I love you like saturated fats, dead vegetation and slutty underwear.

I’ve now come to the conclusion I just don’t do any of our modern “celebrations”. (more…)

I swear I’ll never understand the whole porn industry. Mind you, I should probably be just as pleased about that when you think about it.

Now call me naive, but I was thinking it was going to be a facebook or myspace but with webcams.

Silly fraggle!

You know I’m beginning to wonder just when it was I got so old.

Well I say old, I’m either getting old, or I’m just so sad and generally dull little fraggle.

Either way you look at it, neither of these options are particularly good things.

I think the problem isn’t so much I’m getting old as everyone else seems to be getting young, at least that’s what I keep telling myself.
