What bemused you today?

[Graham]

I'm a little apprehensive about this, knowing the sensibilities of some forum members  , but whilst looking for some adhesive on the Screwfix site, this leapt out at me.

They are jolly rude those builder chappies. 

   I remember seeing that at the builders yard when it first came out, The lable wasn't censord then. 


By the way, can't imagine why all the stocks of this popular beverage were taken of the shelfs!

How many voted?

I know we have some Canadian friends here, has this gone down a storm over there in the colonies?

I personally don't pay attention to the Communist Broadcaster of Canada. They try to hard to be my Social Conscience and I don't
want one.

Baidu?

When I look at the site and scroll down to Dilbert (rapidly becoming the best part of it  ) on the left there is a list of Users on Line and invariably there is the word Baidu with some 10-15 users alongside it.

When I Google Baidu it comes up with some info about the Chinese stock exchange and financial explanation. Are there some financial Chinese oligarch about to invest/take over CC?

[Markulous]

Baidu is the No. 1 search engine in China, controlling 63 percent of China's market share as of January 2010, according to iResearch

Baidu competes with Google Hong Kong, Yahoo! China, Microsoft's Bing and MSN Messenger, Sina, Sohu's Sogou, Wikipedia, NetEase's Youdao, Tencent's Soso.com and PaiPai, Alibaba's Taobao, TOM Online, Xunlei's Sogou and EachNet.

Alan, I do keep asking for ideas for the site, as I've no idea what to put on the front page.  Any ideas welcome.

Listening to Joey Barton whining in Scouse " French" on the radio in these interviews:

Surely such a deep thinker (in his world) could have managed a bit of French by now - useless thug!

  Heard that on Radio4 news this morning. Embarrassing.

Moi, je n'aime pas le foot, et donc je ne connais pas ce mec.

Meeting some old friends over a birthday drink they informed me that I was entitled to a free TV licence, in fact I was entitled to it last year!

Thinking it was a windup I checked and low and behold I am.

One drawback however, I can't legitimately complain about the rubbish that infests the screen when and if I get it. No more cries of 'nothing but crap on tonight, what do we pay the licence fee for ?'.

You could always complain about the waste of electric watching this rubbish. I mean, with the increase in prices every year, it will cost you more.
