Ah ha...So I'm obviously not the only Weebl's fan here then! :D

Anyhow...One thing that's been getting on my wick a fair bit recently is certain types of weblog software. 60% of the time now whenever I check a Google Images result, I wind up with a forced download prompt appearing on my screen - Insted of the image appearing in my browser as it should do... :mad:

I don't mind people trying to prevent bandwidth theft by checking HTTP referrer info and serving "No hotlinking" images to unauthorised websites...But forcing a download to the users browser without that user requesting a download is going too far, IMO! <(

That is really annoying :|

Also, curly haired veg who get off a certain 40 tour at Shrewsbury, then talk, even though they know you are filming, and then walk infront of your camera as soon as the train has left, not thinking that I might still be filming. :roll:

Things that are getting on my wick at the moment... :razz:
  1. The Human Body:
    The only mass-produced machine known to existance that requires a minimum seven hours downtime in every twenty-four... :roll::|:sad:
    .
  2. The Human Brain:
    More badly designed than a 390, and just about as reliable. If the thing had been designed, tested and rolled-out properly, then one of it's features would've been full end-user configuration, and the ability to change/remove things that the user doesn't want, such as absent mindedness and the forgetting of everyones names! <(:mad:<(
    .
  3. Time:
    Why is it - That when I easily need 50+ hours per day to get something done, there are only 24 hours available? :sad::roll::|
Apologies for the rant, chaps...But this useless corpse of mine is really starting to P me off with it's shortcomings... :shock::roll:<(

Old people in shopping centres that take up the whole escalator so everyone that can travel faster than a snail can't get past :roll:

Railway station staff who insist on over-riding the automated announcements.
Passengers at said stations with stupid wheelie cases.

people stealing the drain covers for scrap :/

There are a few open drains now near me (one right outside my house) and the number's increasing.

I think I'll avoid what i usually call them, could get into trouble :lol:
