Apollo 18 film
Quite simpley not just the worst film of 2011, possibly one of the worst films ever! We were led to believe that we would see real footage, there was one view of the earth that appeared real. The rest looked fake as if it had been filmed in a studio. They have hyped this film up very well however the film does not match…

Timpsons - massive ripoff
I went to a high street jeweler to get a new battery for a watch. I was quoted £8.50 for the battery installed, but they did not have the right one so suggested I go to Timpsons. In Timpsons, I was quoted £21.50 for the battery installed. Apparently the excessive price covers resealing the case. What does this mean? Is it…

VENT: Parcelforce Worldwide
This is probably going to extremely naive of me with a bit of stupidity thrown in too but I'm annoyed and this looks like the best place for it. I am getting married soon and found a dress I liked for my bridesmaid and one for me later in the evening on an American website, Torrid. The two dresses came to around $98 and…

Can't throw low energy light bulbs in the trash ?
Having suffered government enforced 'reading by dim lighting' (no wonder children don't read so much any more) it was a surprise to learn that these new weakly low energy light bulbs cannot be disposed of in normal household waste. This may not be news to others, but it was news to me, and having already suffered one of…
