» I don't understand the attraction

Television
TV, telly, the box, the boob tube.

I honestly could not give a flying fuck about one piss-licking thing on there.

I only have one in the house because it got included in the sale when I bought the place, a huge ugly lump of crappy plastic and glass spoiling the lovely aesthetic of my lounge. The aerial snapped on the roof in the gales earlier this year; I point blank refused to spend a single penny on repairing something I utterly resent and had absolutely no interest in. Eventually my girlfriend caved in after 8 weeks.

The main problem is that every single thing that is broadcast is made by and for vapid, moronic, mindless cunts.

Step right up
This QOTW is just aching for a soundtrack..."step right up" by Tom Waits springs to mind

» Stuff I've found

there's gratitude for you
One lunchtime, I nipped out of the office to pick up a sandwich. I'd no cash on me so I went via the bank to get some money. There was quite a queue for the ATMs (the other sort of ATM) outside, so I went inside instead.

It was busy inside too, so I waited in line, then when it was my turn I stepped up and saw what I guessed to be around £200 poking out of the machine. The guy who'd just been at the machine was walking out, so I grabbed the cash and caught up with him. I asked if he'd "forgotten anything".

His reply was to say "yeah" and snatch the money from my outstretched hand. I wasn't expecting a reward or anything but a thank you wouldn't have gone amiss. Tsk.

To cap it all I lost my place in the perishing queue as well.

Length? About 20 minutes once I'd got my lunch
