Excuses, Excuses

   Posted by: lyle    in Cynicism

I love the story of the Suffolk policeman caught (and now found guilty of) kerb-crawling. Mainly because the excuses he gave are so brilliant…

When questioned, Daniel told officers he initially went into Ipswich to fill his car with diesel, before going to look for potential properties to buy in the red light district.

He claimed he was approached by Ms Drewry and decided to ask her to help him find a burger van as he was feeling hungry.

Daniel, who previously worked in the vice squad in Islington, north London, denied soliciting the prostitute and said it would be against his “moral beliefs” to do so.

All followed by the phrase “Aye, riiight…“

On Leaving Facebook

   Posted by: lyle    in Cynicism, Geeky, Getting Organised

So yes, after my minor rant about Facebook , I decided to deactivate my account with them.

They asked why. I replied.

Facebook is one of the most unusable pieces of crap I’ve ever seen. For instance, I’ve repeatedly tried searching for school friends etc., only to be dumped back on my main profile page every time with no explanation or warning.

As such, I can’t be chuffed with it any more. The “service” sucks – and I fully expect this message to crash too.

Should be interesting to see what they say about that. (UPDATED: I should’ve added there “although I expect it’ll be absolutely fuck-all”)
