My fail

Missed the reference to Tesco in the article at the end. I thought for moment posts from another topic were appearing - shame as I was looking forward to resulting chaos that could have caused!

LinkOfHyrule

Best scam ever!

Also, what's up with all the posts about Tesco in this thread? Are the forums on the wonk or something or are some of your readers often drunk during their lunch breaks? Seems like those posts were meant for another story not this one!

They do it because for a company of that size it probably reduces the number of customer support phone calls they receive per day by customers confused by or too thick to understand the password reset process correctly.

Either that or they just don't give a shit.

Re: As an Apple fan I'd just like to say.....

That's a point isint it - those old light-switches have both rounded corners and only one button on their face.

Re: As an Apple fan I'd just like to say.....

I really like the light switches and plug sockets in my house, they are very snazy. They have a retro 1950s roundedness to the corners and a satisfying clunk when you plonk a light on. You could say, that on many levels, they just work! Maybe I should find out who makes them so that I can become a fan of the company!

And that is, man, that was a really shit balcony Julian gave his speech from the other day wasn't it! It was merely a jumped-up groundfloor window!

Re: Aggravated Homosexuality?

It is more common for straight guys to cross dress I think? Dunno, seems that way, maybe that should be a question included on the next census.

Sorry that, was meant to be my standard crap joke that I always post when someone downvotes a comment I have made in which I mention I am gay - I don't think it actually works though!

I think I might be a repressed heterosexual.

Re: Aggravated Homosexuality?

Gotta love all those gay stereotypes - not.

Being gay myself, well being a human being who lives in the UK. I have to say that some of the most masculine, hardest (pardon the pun) and blokiest men are often the gay ones and frankly, these gay stereotypes of mincing, campness and acting effeminate are not based in reality or if they are, are hugely exaggerated.

Amazon UK to offer collection service at corner shops

Re: My local CollectPlus

Good idea if you ask me.

Here's an idea - any of you that do live a fair way from a shop offering this service - maybe amazon will let you get your stuff delivered to a shop near your workplace or some-place else you spend time during the day. Maybe you will miss your normal train home but a thirty minuet wait might be worth it in order to get your hands on Fifty Shades of Shit or whatever you buy from Amazon.

Apple to bring YouView approach to Apple TV

re: So what? It'll have an Apple on it, so it's revolutionary !!!!!111!!1!

Don't be so sarcastic! Really!

Everyone knows that yes it will be a revolution. Heck, if Apple brought out their own range of 4-inch plastic soil pipes, as long as they had the Apple logo embossed into the shiny grey PVC, fanbois would be queuing-up for the chance to flush a log through said pipe work - for the simple reason that the Apple plumbing will be a revolution in and of itself because of who it's made by!

Please stop your sarcasm and take Apple seriously for once will you - it's really not fair of you!

Groupon tat bazaa

You need to make a correction to this article - I have been reading The Register long enough to know that it's eBay that's called a tat bazaa - I believe the correct term for Groupon according to the official Register editorial guidelines is something like 'fish foot spa marchents' or similar is it not?!

Re: What?

Hey anon coward, dont be harsh on him, he's probably got a disability called Bernard Manning syndrome - he cant help saying stupid outdated shit.

LinkOfHyrule

turn it into a reality tv freakshow like everything else they do

Disability is something very close to my heart. Off topic a little but, Ch4 had recently this lovely documentary about disabled people going on dates - I thought it was great.... However, the name that was given to this show and the way it as marketed was absolutely abhorrent- it was called "The Undateables".

Not only was the name of the show stupid because the people clearly were datable (all the show consisted off was these supposed undatables going on actual dates), but it was bloody offensive too!

I am able bodied and have been on dates with a disabled person and ended up getting engaged - call my partner undatable again and I will bloody twat you one! Pricks! You used to be the best TV channel possibly in the world, you're now worst than Living TV or even channel 5!
