Religious Rant

I respect peoples choice to worship whatever deity they like, but I think the Lord would find a better way to communicate than via a tree or a marble statue if He (or She) was of a mind to.

Wet my pants again at Dead Guy this week.

  1. Peeing as we speak.

    That is bloody hilarious. Speaking of which - did you see Tom Scott's cartoon today? I guffawed.

  3. Thanks for linking. My computer freezes every time I try to open Stuff now. I've come up with a brilliant solution I need to put to GLen - basically it involves 36 months interest free hire purchase...

  4. You see, interest free is basically just a big discount. Get the cost price, and call that the Future Value 36 months from now. Use a financial calculator and use the current TD rate for a 36 month deposit and work out the Current Value. Deposit that bit in the bank and in 36 months you pay your bill and it didn't cost you as much as you expected. You're really saving money. Easy....but only if you have the discounted cash right now. Eeks, I've given away my geekness and profession all in one.

  5. If this fails, buy it anyway and panic in 36 months time....

  6. Ahh, you're a professional shopper like me then? We use HP a lot for the very reasons you've outlined. Similar to student loans aye?
