ca_gere Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 You need a VPN that'll cludge you a UK IP address. Works for iPlayer also I've gone down this route before and got riddled with virus'/spyware/etc. And it always takes fuckin ages for stuff to load via vpn unless you pay for a good one. Cheers tho.I'm missing out on iplayer and spotify for the moment but Hulu aint too shabby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaaakkkeee Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 Xbox Live deciding it would be fun to take 10.98 out my bank yesterday, even though most banks weren't trading till today. When I played xbox I was on month to month and I let it run out, I couldn't get online with it. cool. Then I get emails. then they take 2 months worth of xbox live at once when I haven't been on it in a few months. No one in my house has, the tv remote broke.And now I'll have to phone the support to turn automatic renewal off. And last time I got an asian guy on the phone and I couldn't understand a word he said due to me being shit with accents (I have trouble understanding weegies at times)Oh Ps3, thank god I've got you back.

ca_gere Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 People who tell you they have a sick/dark/morbid sense of humour as if they're some kind of comedy maverick. I feel sorry for people in general who feel they have to inform you on what their personality is like. See 'I'm really loud/crazy/random/etc'.

See 'I'm really loud/crazy/random/etc'.Indeed and to further that, I really hate people who claim to 'mad' or 'bonkers' when all they do is make rude jokes and wear loud shirts (anyone remember Colin Hunt from The Fast Show?).

KarmaTsunami Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 I'm sure I've already said this somewhere in the murky depths of the thread, but I totally agree especially on people who describe themselves as 'random'. It makes my skin crawl because I know I'm talking to someone who nine times out of ten is going to be really, really annoying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ca_gere Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 (anyone remember Colin Hunt from The Fast Show?).Ha Ha! yes.The conversation I had in mind wasthem: do you like sick jokes?me: I like funny jokes.they then tell some rubbish dead baby/racist/maddie joke.I don't laugh.them: (chuckling) sorry, I have a sick sense of humour.I've noticed this is a thing people do.

I find Jimmy Carr/Frankie Boyle etc quite funny, but the shit that counts as a joke nowadays is terrible. I normally respond to my dad with an incredibly sick joke about necro/pedo just to shock him into submission, a "I can say something sicker than you", but he just gives me into trouble as I don't have kids yet. (A pet hate I mentioned way back). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christy Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 Pet hate. Right now I'm working a cleaning job, the job is mildly enjoyable as I don't answer to anyone, work with anyone or even bother my arse really, three hour shift, arrive get the floor cleaned and go home. Done. Now the people who mess this floor up whilst I'm cleaning the floor because they think I'm there to clean up after them are fucking wankers and infuriate me every single day. I'm there doing a job as are they, not to clean up everyone elses fucking mess. They make jokes smile and say sorry, I accept the appology and smile back but on the inside I'm Planes, Trains and Automobiles.

That sounds hideous.That said, I've warmed to McIntyres standup, but I can't stand him on panel shows.Both the Carrs are wank though.

I think mostly due to their reaction to Louie Spence feeling them up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
