I thought I’d have a rant to warm up…I’m cold. We have a house that runs on solid fuel which basically consists of a gallapidated (dilapidated even! hehe) Rayburn which we burn wood in. It warms the water a little and keeps the drafts out but not totally satisfactory when it comes to very cold weather [...]

The spending review – robbing from the poor to feed the fat cats
Posted: 20th October 2010 by Age in RantsTags: bollocks, csr, spending review
Today the Government announced its Comprehensive Spending Review which might as well be called “we fucked up so now we’re going to try and fix it review” or “the last guys balls’d up, so here’s our plan to make things worse”. I had to give it a quick study for work. Gosh, it’s depressing. Cuts, [...]
Who decided short games were a good idea? #MOH #COD

Once upon a time in a land far away, someone decided video games were too long. Utter bastards. Back in the “good old days” you’d buy a game, it would take you weeks to complete and you’d be happy. I remember the hazy days of the original Call of Duty game and Call of Duty [...]
The Crapfactor – Cher Lloyd, you suck…

The other night I had the horrible misfortune of being subjected to about 10 minutes of The X Factor. This is a pleasure I usually avoid at all costs but I’d managed to enter the lounge mid-flow and my wife refused to turn it off until the performance she was watching had finished. We have [...]
Who decided no prone was a good idea for FPS?

Over the years since I was first introduced to the wonderful world of first person shooters, starting with Doom, Rise of the Triad and Duke Nukem 3D, it has been ingrained into my psyche that prone is a good thing. Perfectly logical really. Laying flat on your (digital) belly you present a smaller visual target [...]
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I hate the national lottery. BAH!
3 years ago I created a gaming community. Not something I ever thought I’d do in all honesty. My original aims were honest and open. I wanted to create a friendly, gentlemanly gaming community full of nice people. I would give everyone the power to admin the gaming servers and moderate the forum, sharing the [...]
Robbie Williams is a wanker

Look at him, the big fat Northern monkey. He’s a right wanker. Yes, Robbie Williams is a wanker. And he knows it too. The problem is all the women in the world don’t. They think he’s better than sliced soreen. But what do they know? Just look at his face. He’s a wanker. His new [...]
The National Lottery hates me
Posted: 14th September 2010 by Age in RantsTags: email, national lottery, news, winnings, £10
While I was away on holiday, I got an e-mail from the National Lottery. Clearly I didn’t get it until I got home as I was having a “disconnected” holiday. No internet for 2 weeks – joy. Anyway, the e-mail told of “exiting news” about my lottery ticket. Turns out I’d won a tenner. Dear [...]
