192 piss me off no end and now I find this new site Zoopla, a site which lists house prices with no way of delisting your property. Privacy just got stripped another notch. If you work for a company that provides this service or similar please drop yourselves down a bottomless hole.

I accept that a lot of information is available on the net mainly from my own activity. However I hate the method of reusing relatively private info (electoral roll, land registry etc) just to scrape some company ad revenue or database sales. I opt out where I can from these kind of registries but its like plugging a dam with a victoria sponge cake. Sites like this remove the hurdles from wholesale identity theft and it makes me so feckin mad!

This is a great rant! Its not mine - I don't come from Texas. However it is a pet hate of mine where food producers sneakily downsize their products hoping you won't notice. They usually continue to charge the same price too. The rant I am refering to is of "Devoted Customer Upset Jimmy Dean Downsized Sausage 16oz To 12oz But Charges Same Price". Priceless - let it set the interweb alight! I'm not going to pass comment on the families size or of stereotypes of Texas dwellers, that just isn't relative, I just like his style. Now who wants a "Randy Taylor" t-shirt?

Freakonomics has an interesting post about trying to marry into money. If the lady looking for rich love interest is for real then you have to admire her honesty. Then you realise that she's a divorce waiting to happen and all her potential suitors probably can smell that a mile off. I think she might need to go back to the drawing board and get hitched to a plumber, after all they're all minting it these days ;)

Customer service quality control at its finest: "Everyone gets served in under 10 minutes". Someone probably got a pay rise for implementing this business strategy.
