Some Agencies Charge £300 Before Your First Lesson

I just rang a reputable tutoring agency (fleet-tutors) to see how much they would charge for a tutor with an MSc/Phd to come to my house to teach me maths at Degree level.
They wanted
£85 registration fee
£5 per lesson travelling fee if they have to spend longer than 15 minutes travelling (extremely probable)
4 lesson fees up front at £51 per hour.
Basically you have to pay them £300 and if the tutor is not suitable, that is £300 you have lost.
A case for trading standards here I think.

Free mp3’s on your phone

Download utorrent from the android app store and search for whatever you want (from within utorrent), and it is automatically opened by your mo3 player. ITunes will hate this.

I know where I lost my marbles

The earth is hollow you see. The inside of the earth is where every lost thing ends up, including the lost tribes of Israel and the planes and boats that disappeared over the Bermuda triangle.
You may think this is pure fantasy, but hard evidence does exist. Occasionally members of the lost tribe visit us in flying saucers, before being lost to us again, where all the lost things go.

Always Look on the Bright Side of Life…

So when your trousers fall down, think how people will see you have nothing to hide…

Sick and Tired of Scroungers on Freecycle

Freecycle is one of my favourite websites, where people can give away their unwanted stuff.
I freely give and freely get there.
Lately however there has been a spate of people asking for ‘your unwanted smartphone (preferably an iphone 4 or better)’ or laptop.
It seems to me that these are people who are not satisfied unless they can have the latest gizmos for free, unless of course they are actually collecting their booty and selling it. Last time I checked, an iphone 4 in good condition was worth about £200. Who in their right mind would give one away?

I Killed Millions of Little Brown Men Says Prince Harry

So now we know what a hero the hooligan prince is, now he has boasted of lining all those little afghan men up in his helicopter gunsights and letting his load loose (sexual pun intended).
The hooligan prince will now no doubt be a hero amongst his fellow Royals, probably none of whom has ever killed a little brown man or wiped their nose on his beard.
What other heroic misdeeds has the young miscreant been up to I wonder, while on his tour of murder and destruction? I hope in keeping with his Los Angeles sexploits, there are some photographs.

Pay £5.56 to borrow £1 for one day on wonga

Nothing to do while running a script and I ked on one of those spammy ads Google’s forces me to look at.
While looking at wongas tacky website I discovered that amazing fact.
This is equivalent to an annual interest rate of 6.56^365 = 1.47877252 × 10^298=147877252000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000%

Taken to court for nominating a dummy for office

Incredible as it may seem a woman in the UK was prosecuted for nominating a dummy for electoral office. I did think this was the sort of thing that happened nowhere outside of Africa and China/Russia. Is it possi le then to prosecute the idiots who select our leaders, all of them no less dummies than that poor woman’s candidate.

Incredible

That people in the UK earning up to £60,000a year are entitled to any sort of state benefits, and people earning more than that can count themselves unlucky because they are entitled to no state benefits.
