I miss the days when search engines would actually search for the words you've put in the search box, rather than showing you results that are - at best - vaguely tangentially related to what you're looking for.


This dumb password rule is from Virgin Media.

Well, how do you think I feel? I'm a 900 year old Time Lord. Not much dignity in scrambling over a wall like a small boy on a scrumping spree.

This dumb password rule is from Banque de Tahiti.

You have to enter your password using this *very* Frenchy keypad. You don't have lowercase letters, the blanks are not spaces but just non-clickable gaps, but as a compensation you have some weird symbols that your keyboard does not have a key for (e.g. `µ`).

No accessible version available.

On our wedding night we stayed in a very posh hotel. I took a photo of the mini bar and afterward showed all our friends. It wasn't until years later when I relooked at the picture that I saw myself naked in the minibar reflection, cock and all.



Stopped at airport security and was asked if I had any tablets in my bag. I stood for a good while listing off my prescriptions. It's was the iPad they wanted to know about.

I've lied about my grades to every job I've ever applied for and nobody has ever questioned it. I got 2 D's and a E at A Level's but always say ABB. It's never been checked, education just really doesn't matter in the professional world.


My name is Robert. My nickname is Bob. I am a builder. Trust me, you're not the first customer to sing Bob the Builder to me. It's very old now. I add extra "expenses" to your invoice if you do.


I have full respect for Kier Starmer but I cringe when he speaks. He sounds just like a guy that I met at a conference and had a fling with only to realise I found him boring.


I am a 44 year old Geography teacher. I have been teaching 20 odd years and people genuinely see me as a wise head who gives sound advice. I failed and had to retake my English GCSE as I forgot to attend the exam as I was too busy sat at home watching Dumb and Dumber on DVD.
