Mark Zuckerberg's wedding reception was going well. But, just as everyone had got used to the seating arrangement, he changed the layout for no apparent reason. ...

Coming back down South from Yorkshire on Sunday I passed an enormous, almost caravan-sized, trailer being towed by a huge SUV type vehicle. Oh the delicious irony of these two behemoths being plastered with advertising posters and stickers for some 'green' company or other.

Not that I use TPB very often..

but on reading this news this morning, I first tried accessing the page to confirm the block was in place, 30 seconds and a quick Google later and I was on via one of the proxys.

Epic fail.

Do the maths

A medium skinnychocamochadecaffadoodah is what, £2.30 ish? Almost £5 an hour for 'free' wi-fi?

No thanks, I'll stick to Cafe Nero, you only need 8 stamps to qualify for a free coffe there as opposed to several hundreds of points at Costa Packet. 3G coverage will do for me whilst out and about.

Here it comes...

Only cocks ride Beemers anyway...

I recently switched to Sky Unlimited upto 20 meg

Having place the order, their techy bods did various line tests and told me my speed would be between 11 and 15 meg. They are spot on, I can sustain a 15 Mbps at most times of the day, dropping occasionally to 12. I would have liked to have got closer to the 20 but at least I'm getting what I was told to expect, and that for me is the crucial bit.

Good.

The sooner they all piss off back to the 2013 equivalent of Bebo the better. I have a handfull of teenagers on my 'friends' list - family members and the offspring of some good friends, who are all there only out of politeness. I have had to set every single one of them so that I dont see any updates from them due to the sheer amount of drivel they post. Half of them seem incapable of using the private message function for a conversation, so you get a constant stream of teen-speak crap infesting your feed. Add to this the never-ending links to Youtube of some appalling R&B act or otherwise unknown 'pop star'.

If they can take with them the adults who have to share every damn 'funny' picture they ever see then even better.

Coat, mines the one with Victor Meldrew on the label.

@Roger Greenwood

It's just off the Basingstoke roundabout, hop in, I can take you that far..........

What was that aboot the land of the free?

Oooh the irony.

All jolly clever

but will it be linked to the interweb by Schroedinger's cat5?

Lets be honest

Will this in reality affect anyone with more than half a clue? Newzbin showed how p*ss easy it was to get around the site blocking, and no doubt TPB will be able to do just the same.

My two pennorth

2 years ago I took out an iPhone contract. Happy with the phone, did all I wanted it to do. I recently renewed my contact and opted for a Samsung Galaxy S2 this time. I figured if I was tying myself into a new 24 month contract then I wanted a phone that felt different to my iPhone, otherwise I might just have well have not bothered upgrading and stuck with my 3GS.

O2 have ubnlocked the iPhone and I now have a PAYG Voda sim in it, for those occasions locally where the O2 coverage is flaky (mainly the local villages). I dont class myself as a fanboi of either camp, they're just phones FFS.

All jolly clever and all that but...

Are people really that sad that they cant even watch a movie without having to be fed tweets throughout?

Twitter...

is the bit between the twat and the $h1tter.

Cable laying?

Henceforth I shall refer to 'taking a number two' as 'laying a Vince.'

Why the hell would you pay by the minute..

..when there's a Muccy D's with free wi-fi on almost every street in the big cities.

An arrogant Frenchie?

Whooda Thunkett?

Another stupid government promise

from another stupid government that just doesn't have a scooby about how computer-thingys and telecoms *actually* work.

@AC 12:29

If you attempt to murder someone but fail you still get done for attempted murder. Failure in your intention is no defence.

Well seeing as the programs have been aired and therefore seen..

..then this makes me free to torrent the jaysus out of the Beeb's back catalogue.

Avast me heartys.

Typical bloody accountant

They know the price of everything but the value of nothing.

Tish, bah and humbug

Factions are letting it be known that workarounds are already in place. The studios are merely tilting at windmills.

The one teeny tiny drawback is

that the iPhone Facebook app is a bug ridden piece of detrius that crashes more often than a drunken chav in a souped up Nova.

This is all jolly good and well...

...but has *anyone* bothered to feed Schrödinger’s cat lately?

Lets just have a quick sniff of the old java beans eh

and remember that the Mirror isn't exactly fond of the Murdoch empire. Points scoring and trouble making are clouding the truth of what's happened.

Sir.

So what happened to "call me Dave"s rhetoric about getting tough on Europe, tearing up the loony diktats, and putting people first?

What's that? It was all bull just to get elected??

Surely not.

A pity

I've always felt these guys were the best of the bunch, far far better than the Currys mob.

Meanwhile, in another part of the schoolyard..

Bored with self-opinionated, self-righteous little twats now.

Opening the floodgates (sorry)

for any eejit to pee in the water - 'for teh lulz.'

Those about to binge..

We salute you!

Cue the backfire from an ill thought out publicity stunt

I sincerely hope that this site now comes under a sustained attack from the less aesthetically-pleasing members of the hacking fraternity. Not everyone has such a high opinion of the beautiful people as they themselves do, and I look forward to reading about their pretty but empty head being shot off now it's breached the parapet.

Unfortunately...

..at my local NHS theatre of fun the nurses are more Hattie Jaques than Babs Windsor :(

Yawn.

British consumers get shafted again.

Ok, move along, nothing to see here.

Problem solved...

...just call the dog Sambo.

What you have all failed to grasp....

is that being from Norfolk, he was in all likelihood in possesion of enough fingers to be able to keep a couple on the wheel while the others were otherwise mobile-engaged.
