That's not how you collective-noun.

I meant about the irony. Because it is. It's ironic.

Re: "Not one indiviual or unique thought amongst the lot of them."

It's a fucking good point.

It's probably a good time to remind you all that I seek and destroy all comments including the word 'sheeple'.

Terence Conran slams 'appalling' Olympic mascots

Yeah, yeah, I set 'em up, you do a joke alert and pretend to run away. Very good. Cake is in the post.

Re: +1

He's a very successful bitter old man if that's what he is.

It's odd how when people virulently criticise something, others line up to accuse them of bitterness or jealousy (or, if they're a woman, being uncontrollably hormonal, obviously). Very often it's just pure exasperation at mediocrity or inadequacy or crapitude, with no agenda or personal issues attached. This does exist as a force in the universe, you know.

Re: When I want a kitchen deisgn that will cost me millions....

Well, you lot all vented about it as if people care what you think - why shouldn't he? I want to know what Will Self thinks about the Olympic mascots. Even if no one asked him. Especially if no one asked him.

6Music: Dead man walking?

Re: Really...

Moyles is a nasty bastard who wouldn't know funny if it pantsed him and made him waddle along Oxford Street. But they won't sack him yet. I'm sure they will eventually after he says something so fantastically offensive that they're forced to, but yeah, not yet, sadly.

I really hope 6Music survives.

Re: Drawing Mohammed

Yes, Andus, that comment was so controversial that I accidentally published it as I reeled in shock.

Re: dont get annoyed

We've done news on this subject before. It's science news. The Reg covers matters other than IT and always has.

Sigh.

Re: @Sarah

No no no. I was merely pointing out that you made a rather confident appraisal of another poster's psychological state which seemed over-zealous. The OP's comments were clearly using exaggeration to emphasise his point - clumsily, but

Are you qualified to make a diagnosis of psychological damage? No? Well shush then, you big blouse.

Re: Brilliant Mascots!

It doesn't need anything else. Title refers to a specific shoeing. Shoeing is expanded upon. Article ends. Next.

Re: Islam

No, because I don't 'censor' comments. Please stop being hysterical and elevating your witterings to the level of something greater.

Re: @Sara

I rejected it in the interests of trying to keep the scrapping to a minimum, jlocke, it's not a reflection on whether I think you're right or not.

For future ref, it's Sarah, not Sara. Ta (rah).

Re: @Sarah, @oninoshiko

I don't think you know very much about dogs, but I'll grant you that large or powerful dogs are more dangerous than smaller ones in the sense that *if* they attack, they'll do more damage. However, you can't tell just from a dog's breeding whether or not it will ever attack anyone or anything. You can't. Sorry.

Sarah Bee (Written by Reg staff)

Re: Unbe-fuc*king-lievable!

A staffy isn't necessarily a dangerous dog, you prat. All kinds of people keep them as pets, some of whom are aggressive idiots like this one, and I think he was probably doing quite well with the intimidation on his own without the dog.

McKinnon family awaits final, final extradition decision

Re: Sarah Bee get a grip

It's not the subject matter, dear, it's the screaming tedium of the trite rhetoric surrounding it, do you see?

But hey, if you want to go down this route, fill your boots. I'll let them all through until I get bored and start nixing you. Then I can watch you hop up and down with impotent fury like a wasp in a jam jar while the thread carries on without you. Yeah? Great.

You all talk as if you're infallible. It's hilarious. No, wait, it's absurd.

Re: Nice one Sarah

With threads like this one I let pretty much everything through so you can all see each other's naked nastiness and compare it with your own. I know how much you like that.

If anyone has any further dazzling insight on this grave matter, best blurt it out now because I'm closing this fucker after another 15 comments. If in your haste you neglect the niceties of grammar or don't bother engaging your brain, well, that's just spiffy.

Re: Loosing her job and needing medical treatment?

People can get very upset when their marriages break down for whatever reason, and the resulting state they get into can lead to other problems such as the loss of their job in a sort of snowball effect. Medical treatment isn't uncommon in such circumstances. I suppose this is either difficult for you to understand, or you can't be arsed because it's less fun.

BTW, 'losing', you silly arse.

I should have put a bet on with myself as to how many expert comments would show up. I'm still going to pay myself this donut, anyway.

Ah, y'see the fact that two of you made the same joke makes it a less good joke. But I suppose you can have cake too, it's still a cut above the usual flaming orphanages that pass for LOL-fodder around here.

UK hot-swaps leaders - Brown out, Cameron in

Sarah Bee (Written by Reg staff)

Re: "That meant for a period, the UK had no elected leader."

If I hear this one more time I'm finally going to snap. When's the last time we elected a leader? That's not how it works, divots.

I preferred it when we were in limbo, frankly.

Re: huh?

The rage is building. You lot had better stay out of my way today.

The Reg has always run political stories often sans IT angle. This is because even IT workers live in the world, although sometimes it seems dubious to assert this. If you don't like it, you can vote with your feet, no?

How is that sexist? No, don't try and explain it to me, I wouldn't understand, for obvious reasons.
