Well Mr Brown, Granny is watching you like the gnarled old buzzard she is. The story I linked to yesterday containing a mildly amusing error has been edited and corrected. Points for effort...

but never let it be said that I'm not a contrary one,
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you, the herald...

granny now loads faster than this site does, that should in theory see the end of my bitching.

No it's far more likely a slum or downmarket neighbourhood will do that so give it a few years...

Having said that, it would also be great if Telecom were to deliver their broadband service as advertised. Since the great unleashing the fastest test has been 2.2Mbs. Beforehand I tested many times and recorded the full available 3.5Mbs, so my Go Large plan is not delivering "as fast as your line will alow" especially in light of the supposed max of over 7Mbs and neither has my account been credited with the promised $10 credit either. Thieving bastards all.
Liars. -
to paraphrase rage against the machine, not trying to discredit but you still got no edit [function]

You know what? (maybe, but I'll tell you anyway) Working in retail and hospitality while at uni just about destroyed my christmas spirit, it's almost back to the stage where I'll bother typing christmas with it's capital C but it was nasty. Some of thge things perpetrated upon and by the public were just... well lets just say they were not and leave it at that. Did you know that for six weeks I was forced while working at Liquor King Greenlane to listen to the same four christmas carol cd's on constant rotate for 8 hours plus per day. After six weeks of that as well as peoples insane demands (christmas really places undue pressure on people) I just wasn't interested. Sometimes companies can be really crass in their pursuit of a buck, whine whinge bah humbug etc etc. Christmas (hey capital!) is beginning to make a comeback for me because its become real again with my class and secret santa et al. It's not about whoring yourself to get screwed for a bonus by unrealistic budgets set by people who drive while intoxicated from store to store to give pep talks. Perhaps if they had to listen to the carols too?As for apartments for nouveau riche whitey, build em to relect their potential inhabitants, cheap and nasty.

Hmmmm...

most grannies I know are quite quick on the uptake having been there and seen that etc. The new herald site reminds me of the simpsons episode with the 'biteback dog'

For some strange reason "Ennui" comes to mind. Not unzuddish I know but rather appropriate.
