Shows how much I cared

I got a semi-spam today – via bastard Friends Reunited, of all things. Turns out that the old boy network from my secondary school has it’s own website – unsurprisingly, it’s fairly shoddy, but such things happen.

The spam-ish was about signing up with the feckers so I could be informed of school reunions. Frankly, the only reason I’d want to be notified is so I knew when to make certain I was nowhere near my hometown. In my own opinion, the cretin who came up with the phrase “schooldays are the best days of your life” either died at 15, or was a complete fucking retard – I hated school with a passion, and would only revisit it to see it being demolished.

Somehow, I don’t think I’ll be a regular visitor at that site…

Serious Car

I think this is a first for d4d, but I’ve been dribbling over a car from BBC’s Top gear tonight. I’ve always been a fan of TVR cars, but I think that the Koenigsegg has it beaten as “car to dream of owning”.

Of course, the insurance would be crippling, and it would never come out of second gear in the UK, but wow, it looks like a fun bit of gear. Just a pity that it retails for about £350,000.

No added sugar

I’ve just seen an advert on TV for Sunny Delight. They’re bollocksing on about how great Sunny Delight is, because it’s got “No added sugar”. Um – this is the same Sunny Delight that is at least 10% sugar? Or does “No Added Sugar” really mean “Well we haven’t added any more sugar over the 10% that was already in there”?

I thought there were some laws about truth in advertising – but I’m sure plugging Sunny Delight as the healthy alternative to other drinks is bollocks of the highest order. I wonder how long the advert will stay on?

Phoenix my book again, I’ll kill ‘im

Much to the imminent disdain of Green Fairy, yes, I did get the new Harry Potter book yesterday. I haven’t read it yet – and no, I didn’t queue at midnight for the thing. It got delivered at 8 o’clock in the morning, which was pretty impressive.

And no, I won’t say who pegs it. I know (my normal bad habit of reading the last chapter first to find this kind of thing out), but I won’t keff it for everyone.
