New rant, and christmas decorations?

Tag: Site NewsInsaneLampshade @ 14:17pm

Added a new rant (finally) “Going Into Town”, updated the poll, and added a link to the old forum archive.

Maybe when december comes i’ll decorate my site Mr Kennedy style…no! not like a turkey stuffed with star trek videos and lard…i’m talking decorating my site with as many tacky christmas animated .gif’s as possible! (i wonder…does anyone remember that conversation?)

Going Into Town

Tag: RantsInsaneLampshade @ 14:05pm

Hmm…where to start…ah, i know…the journey into town.

The journey into town by bike is slightly annoying (no, not because i have to go up 2 hills to get there), because of the size of the pavement, and the people on it…they just won’t move out of the way!! (yes, i know it’s illegal to ride bikes on the pavement, so i can’t really complain) But what’s worse is when you get a bunch of people who insist on walking in the bike lane as well as the path…GET OUT OF THE BLOODY WAY BEFORE I RUN YOU AND YOUR DAMN PRAM OVER!!! :x

Now, once i’m in town, and on foot, things just get even more annoying, there are too many slow people…AARGH!! If only they could hear the mental screams of dispair comming from my head! Another annoying thing about people in town, there’s always someone who insists on stopping right in front of you, ahh, if only beatings with baseball bats were legal! Another thing, the escalators…why do people just stand on them like lemons?! If you wanna stand still GO USE THE DAMN LIFT!! I WANNA WALK UP THE ESCALATOR SO I ACTUALLY GET TO THE NEXT FLOOR FASTER THAN I WOULD IF I TOOK THE STAIRS, DAMN SLOW ********!! (at least stand to one side if you’re gonna stand still on the escalators…like the London Underground, so we normal people have a chance of finishing our shopping before dawn the next day!)

Also, why are there so many damn chav’s in town, they really irritate me (they don’t do anything in particular, it’s just their presence that makes the place look like a dump!). I’ve been tempted for a while now to get some spraypaint and go to the edge of Crawley at night to change the welcome signs to “Welcome to Chav-ley”. Ugh…i bet other countries (with the exception of America, Canada, and some of Europe) don’t have chav’s.

One thing that annoys me sometimes is seeing someone you know, and have them completly ignore you…like fine…if you can’t be bothered to say hello then i’m ignoring you if i ever see you again.

This might contradict my last statement, but oh well…seeing someone you know, and have them say hello to you. That just really annoys me too, i’m in town for a reason, i don’t particularly want to talk to you, go away, and don’t expect a response from me either. If i wanted to talk to you i’d phone you or something.

So, if you ever see me in town, either hope i don’t see you, then ignore me, or if i see you, say hello, then get lost!

The return journey you would expect to be much more enjoyable, since i get to go down two hills on my bike, but oh no…those DAMN SLOW CHAV’S ARE WALKING THEIR CHILDREN (WHICH THEY PROBABLY HAD WHEN THEY WERE 10) IN THE BIKE LANE, SO I CAN’T SPEED UP…AND THEN WHEN I RIDE PAST THEM AS A SOMEWHAT ABOVE AVERAGE SPEED THEY FRIKKEN START SWEARING AS IF I’M IN THE WRONG FOR RIDING MY BIKE IN THE DAMN BIKE LANE??!!

In conclusion, i’m leaving this country as soon as i can, to get away from chav’s and slow people.

Tag: MiscInsaneLampshade @ 14:13pm

Firefox 1.0 has been released today, go get it at http://www.getfirefox.com (warning: site is extremely slow due to volume of people downloading)

If you manage to download it today, expect there to be a few critical security updates within the next month or so (as there always is with new milestone builds)

If you decide not to get it, you have 2 weeks before i install spyware/adware on my site, and hijack your browser, and delete everything on your computer! ;) (this will not affect firefox users)
