Half price sticker placement - WIN...

I have yet to spot another example of such complete Bookcover Burqaism on the shelves....

TwoSeatsBob...

Maybe that could also be STFUBob, WhineyAssBob, SeatBlockerBob and a 100 other variables on the current farce rumbling around the internets regarding Kevin Smith and his fat lardy ass getting turned off a flight from LA to SF.
Smith claims he books two seats not because he is "Too Fat To Fly" but because he is anti-social and doesn't want to sit cheek by jowl with another fat flyer. Or a member of the human race.
This guy probably has enough money to charter his own plane to fly to SF. Then he could sit in splendid solitude while the rest of us have to deal with all the problems of modern air travel. But no, he prefers to book two seats. Then gets all arsey when he opts to fly standby then gets turned off that flight. If the flight was booked solid and some person trying desperately to get a flight for some emergency was told sorry flight is full, no seats available, would you give up your spare seat? Probably not, as you booked for your fat shadow.
Here is a tip AntiSocialBob - if you can't stand being around other people try driving. You have four/five seats to yourself. You can choose your own entertainment. You can stop to eat when you want and you have a better choice of food. You can set your own departure time. You don't have to deal with TSA. Get the picture yet Mr Director?

Or maybe just stay at home with your chubby little legs kicked back in your La Z Boy typing away furiously on your computer...

I'm disappointed that SWA is bending over backwards to placate this moron while all the time feeding the frenzy of his fanboys all screaming for SWA to be hung from the nearest hill.

They have a policy in place for safety reasons. Next time I am forced to sit next to an obese passenger I'll be asking to move because now I will just see flying fatties as selfish ignorant jerk offs like Kevin "SilentBob" Smith......

Macworld 2010 - "hugely successful"

They were the words of IDG's expo 'main man' Paul Kent at the end of this years MWSF 2010.

I think "hugely successful" may be gilding the lily slightly - from just searching for figures on the net for previous years there is no doubt that attendance is way down - the hi-tech graph above shows it is.

The figures for 2008-2010 are approximate - 2008 was supposed to be up 10% on the previous year, 2009 figs don't appear to be released and this year the 20,000 is sourced from www.istockanalyst.com

If a drop of such a huge amount is considered a "success" then I wonder what a failure looks like!
With the demise of Paris and then London after Apple withdrew, I wonder how long IDG will maintain Macworld in it's current form?

My thoughts after MWSF 2009...

Ordering now for next winter...

...was the reply when I tried to order a set of "winter" tyres from the UK importer. With a new set of tyres needed for the front of my car I decided on trying to source a set of Nokian WR G2 winter/all season tyres. I'd read good reviews on these tyres and contrary to what the dealer may think they are classed as all season tyres by the manufacturer, Nokian.

So, with the recent wintery weather we've experienced I thought a good set of winter rubber would be a good option over the all season brands usually sold here in the UK.
Tracking these tyres down hasn't been easy as it appears many other UK drivers are discovering the benefits of winter tyres. So I contacted the UK importer and was surprised to be told that they wouldn't be ordering any more until October! The impression I got was they believed the WR G2 was only for use during snowy weather.
My search goes on....
