Apart of course from with the bubble-head apple-heads.... and so it goes on...

I make no argument for the consumer end of Apple's stuff - beyond that fact that fooling several hundred million people - time after time - with some sort of sub-standard product - is no mean feat.


I find it pervy that someone with an iPhone 4 would immediately want an iPhone 5 for sure. But then I find it equally pervy that anyone else should genuinely give a sh1T!

I'm not posting to say 'I don't give a shit' though am I, eh? .. I'm posting to say that I find it pervy that other people give a shit so much.. why they get so purple with rage about the whole thing. Really, it's weird.


It's like getting angry because your neighbour owns a Ford Focus or something. Why?!

Erm..... didn't pick up any purple protestations on here meself. Like I said, I find the lemming-like consumerism mania interesting to observe, and occasionally to comment on :)

It is odd - agreed.

"[snip] phone doesn't work quite as we'll as some [snip]"


Lovely!


On the wider point quite agree, it is all very silly, but then people need to obsess over something before middle age and your looming mortality render all that vim and gusto null and void when faced with the utter pointlessness and meaningless of ones own existence and the cosmos' deep indifference to you.


That said I hope Steve jobs* burns in hell, or something.


*only joking, I meant Tony Blair obviously.

    • The Cornish Gouda was featured in an early episode of 'Rick Stein's Cornwall'. It's actually made by a Dutch family who moved here. The series is being repeated on BBC2 at the moment, so it's probably available on the iPlayer. Cheese Block stock a great 'Old Amsterdam' aged Gouda, if you can bring yourself to go in, or M&S do one made with Jersey milk. I've never found the Cheese Block all that grumpy. I think they just get a bit frustrated when it's busy and people don't know what they want. It's not ideal, but I try to go in when it's quiet if I'm undecided, and they're almost friendly. Here's a link to the Rick Stein show. It'll be available soon, apparently. Hopefully it'll help you track down the Gouda.   https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000qzxr  
    • It’s Mons all the way for us. Super friendly. And they know their customers . They even asked me why I bought so much Comté. LOL. This is the cheese from my area in France  and I eat it without thinking. I LOVE their Fourme  d’Ambert, one of the oldest cheeses in France. Much creamier than Roquefort and much cheaper too. Also love their selection of goats cheese - and the fact that they regularly discount cheeses that have ripened a bit too much, which is how I like my cheese. Been lobbying them to make Fromage Fort, which is a hit like potted cheese. You take old leftover cheeses and ferment them in white wine. If other Burgundians are in the area, please join the lobbying effort.  Heritage cheese used to sell an absolutely amazing Gouda from Cornwall and I really enjoyed this but they’ve stopped selling it.  Can’t comment on Cheese Block - so grumpy in there I’ve stopped going in. Perhaps I’m missing out.       
    • Yes, but I remember it fromages ago.
    • Can anyone please provide Niko's number?
