The clue is in the name of the company: First. Also known round these parts as Worst. They are on a par with Virgin for being useless. That train probably was on fire, it happens quite often to me these days. I guess that means I'm assiging Richard Branson again. And the wider First company, the greedy swine.

Whatever bizarre illness I'm suffering from this time. I thought it was just my wisdom teeth playing up again but I don't think all my symptoms can be explained by that.

Also owing people money. I hate it.

People who give u anonymous negative reps especially if they're blank

Rangers fans (I think I may have placed them here before but meh there are lots of them)

My modem (always turning itself off for short yet irritating periods of time)

English football hooligans or as I like to call them amoeba in replica shirts

Soaps, Coronation Street, Eastenders, Dove, the lot, I can feel my brain melt just watching them

News Corporation, enough said

The "typo" thread. . .the longer it has been there the less I like it. It seems like it is only there so that people can point fingers at each others!

Maybe it is only because I have always had poor spelling abilities and therefor are very touchy about my spelling.

Everyone makes mistakes with their spelling, so no need to feel touchy. Though I assign misuse of the typo thread; if you can't make a joke about it, there's no point mentioning it! In this case, it will just offend whoever made the mistake.

You can't deny the greatness of "the guy who be shot" or "the gut who be short" though.

Sorry, Rune. I didn't think you'd be offended by that.

But I'm sorry I can't take the typo thread too seriously since nowadays about one third of the typos posted there are made by me...

I assign boring people who never make typos.
