The lack of defense the Pats are showing...Brady is being man handled big time.

I didn't get the chance to enjoy it. Nobody cared... apart from Leslie, and she threatened me to not try it again.

Those stupid "type what's in the box" wavy word thingies that websites use to make sure you're a real person and not some spamming program. They've gotten so weird and hard to read - who knows wtf they say?

But that's the thing - real people can read & correctly interpret them, no probs. It's only spamming programs that find them hard to read

Adverts that say "the x you deserve" usually seems to be aimed at low income, and presumably low self-esteem individuals; often finance related and seems to be trying to get people in debt to become more in debt.

Are you accusing me of being a spamming program, Robin?

This is the thing, they used to be easy to read but the spamming programs learned how to read them and now they are whack.

Probably. I had to register some program online in work the other day, and it took me 3 or 4 goes before I got it right.

Everyone knows I'm a spam-bot though ...

They have been getting much harder to read lately, I usually have to reload a few times to get one I can interpret correctly. Probably because spam factories have started using sweatshop labour to read them, much easier than using software.

Major pet peeve - not checking back with the pet peeve thread for a week or so and finding it'll take me eleventy billion years to catchup, stopping every now and then to p*ss myself laughing. B@st@rds the lot of you
