Timing is everything

People who cyberstalk other people and hack their computers, then claim it isn't them when you confront them...but mysteriously enough, the attacks to your computer and connection stop at the exact moment when you inform their family and the police.

Just heard a story about someone who was trying to stalk someone on Facebook but accidentally put their name into their status update instead of the search bit with the upshot that everyone could tell that they were thinking about him.

Danny Dyer's film 'Pimp' grossed £205 in its first week, having sold 24 tickets. You'd have to have a heart of stone not to laugh at that.

mentioned to my wife how the workmen across the street were making a horribly loud, annoying racket while scraping old paint off the metal railings. she replied "oh. i thought you were just playing one of your records."

Haha, a similar thing (but in reverse) happened to me years ago. We'd had a big house party and were tidying up the next day, and my housemate Tom was vacuuming in the front room, where I'd set up my stereo. I was in the kitchen and saw him walk upstairs, so I called "Tom, you bloody fool, you've left the hoover on!" - turned out he hadn't, he'd left the stereo on. Playing My Bloody Valentine. :D

ha! excellent, although i can see how you'd make that mistake.

in my case, she actually later said "no, really, you have some records that sort of sound like that, right?" i took it as a compliment, actually.

No, you wouldn't even believe who it was if I told you. They swear up and down it wasn't them, but if it wasn't, it was someone who went very far out of their way to frame them.

Some people are seriously sick, and they absolutely love the internet.

N-Dubs performed at shannon nightclub in essex before they were as famous, got boo'd off and bottles thrown at them before the whole place erupted into a massive brawl and everyone got kicked out. Will never forget that night, it will probably take precedence over my wedding.

edit, I'm not married, what I meant is that when I do, I will remember that night more.

what do you call a girl with two cunt's?

One of my housemates said he heard about some charity album N-Dubz were involved in for an anti-bullying campaign, and were making studio recordings live on this radio show, or something like that...anyway, listeners were encouraged to text into the show with comments on the music, and a girl texted in with an not entirely positive opinion of a track they were working on...so Dappy started sending her loads of really nasty threatening texts, resulting in N-Dubz being dropped from the album. :rolleyes:

I hate that, it sounds so pretentious, like something someone would say to try and given the impression of being 'educated'.

(saying "an historic...", I mean, not watching a Spurs match)

All about pride and egos
Oh come on, saying "an historic" is perfectly fine and necessary if you don't pronounce the 'h'. Surely being careful with your diction is less pretentious than contributing daily to an internet message board that specializes in solipsism, modern philosophy and over-arching theories about the development of boutique UK dance music genres?

I just can't stand that American thing of missing the H off a word (to sound French?), so you get the awful erbal (and not in the Rasta sense) for herbal. I've even heard uman for human, I mean what the fuck?

Yeahyeahyeah, it's pedantic and pointless. But it Does My Head In (should be in the other thread, clearly).

Edit: I guess if you're not pronouncing the H, "an [h]istoric..." is fine, but in Britain you sometimes hear it with the H pronounced, which sounds very ugly indeed. You wouldn't ask for "an half" of something or talk about "an house" record, would you?
