Someone must've slotted their dirty little flash drive into my USB port and left a lovely steamy deposit of piranha style virus on my PC. Needless to say, a week later my computer was beaching itself like a sad whale giving up for no apparent reason.

Everyday there's a new company trying to convince a group of people that they need something that they've done quite well so far without. How on earth are you supposed to choose from such an enormous range of washing powders which are only playing with a 10 to 50 cents competitive mark?

Unless you’re exposing great evils of the earth to society in the name of public interest, can you really call yourself a journalist? Ozzy’s insights into his latest drug binge getti...

After running an errand, don’t you hate coming back to your car to find that where you chose to park, a gaggle of very annoying, super lazy promotions company employees has plastered your car with an array of flyers promoting parties you won’t go to and muti recipies you aren’t going to try?

images, we have don’t see wind as having colour, unless you’re under the
influence of narcotics. Ask someone taking the ‘dye’ drug what colour they are and
