The song 'Shiny Happy People'

God it fks me right off.
I find substituting the words for 'whiny, baldy wker' in my head whenever the, erm, whiny, baldy wker is singing it makes it more tolerable.
Then Tre would be singing about himself.

Internet Explorer on Windows Phone 8.

Ridiculously slow and renders even basic pages horribly.

Out of curiosity I was wondering if you could explain how someone could be passively aggressive and a keyboard warrior at the same time? Thanks.
Passive-aggressive may be a slightly wrong description. I mean, people who are clearly setting out to belittle and annoy the person in question, but doing it with a smile and a lack of bad language.
Ah, right.

That's actually quite a good description... The line between gentle patronization and overt sarcasm can be a tricky one. Not that I'd ever behave like that.

Ah, you flatter me, as well as my ability at picking up on digs (although I got those two). Your comment/question a couple of weeks ago has only just twigged.

It'd annoy you more if you had photosensitive epilepsy and they didn't tell you what was coming up.

Really hate people who disagree with my superb logic.

Such as me pointing out that we all have a lot of duplicates on similar Earths in our Universe - my logic being that if the Universe in infinite, the possibility of life evolving is a calculable variable, as is the events that led to me typing this.

It may be a VERY BIG variable, but no matter how big it is, even if it has a trillion gogles at the end of it, it will still divide into infinity more than once.

And another thing, people saying things of differnent mass always fall at the same rate (always they are at it with the hammer and the feather) - even in a science magazine last month they were saying this. Don't get me started on how this is just completely wrong - three elements of different mass giving off the same gravitational pull with a 100% equal attraction to each other - I don't think so.

In an atmosphere they do fall at a different rate.

A happy atmosphere?

What about about at a party, with a happy atmosphere, hosted by Russ Abbot?

Probably. I did originally write a lot about how I had an idea why the warning was on, then I realised it was the "beyond reason" thread so I deleted it.

It's a recent thing, though, you never used to get warnings like this until a few years ago. I wonder whether it's because of changes to television technology that make it more of a problem for those people, or an extension of warnings for everything "these days". But not the place for rational debate.

Today's icons of ire:

Forum posters who write a load of rude/uninformed/wrong/stupid/mental stuff, but that's ok, because there's a smiley face on the end of it!

Molex power connectors inside PCs. Designed by a sociopath.

USB A connectors. Looks like it should work either way up. Doesn't. Have to peer into the end of the cable and then into the socket. Designed by an idiot. Or the same sociopath as before.
