Brown and sticky

September 27th, 2007

Saw this on a hosting forum and loved the language. I don’t agree that the hosts require beating - I think they’re really rather good and wish that they all have enough time off to play poohsticks.

Please drop the f*cksticks and pick up some cluesticks and start beating each other with those for a while.

Cordially,
Mr. Dissatisfied Customer

(P.S. the hosts in question are Dreamhost and they nobly host this blog and my other sites. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them for almost every hosting circumstance. If you sign up through this site you’ll be helping me pay their paltry bills - thanks!)

One of the better funny emails I’ve been sent:

1) Commenting on a complaint from a Mr Arthur Purdey about a large gas bill, spokesman for North West Gas said, “We agree it was rather high for the time of year. It’s possible Mr Purdey has been charged for the gas used up during the explosion that destroyed his house.”(The Daily Telegraph) Read the rest of this entry »

An irreverent look at the world of Linux and Open Source. The Wolverhampton based bunch provide a welcome UK voice amongst the glut of US based offerings. If you’re easily offended by industrial language then listen from behind the sofa.
