Not getting het up is my thing, so Black Friday is decidedly not my thing.

Besides, manufacturers produce lines of items specifically for BF that have inferior parts (so they can be sold for less). Risk life and limb for stuff that's even more worthless than what's on offer the rest of the year? I think not.

(I should provide a link but don't have the tech savvy ... it was a story linked to CNN within the past week.)

That's why I liked the Black Friday cheerleaders ... no inferior parts.



I know, I know, lump of coal for me this Christmas.

3am here and the radio news has just said that shops are gearing up for another day of retail mayhem.

The attractions of living on an island, or somewhere with a moat at the very least, become greater as each day passes.

Most big box stores are already selling crap with inferior parts, so BF just compounds the problem.

That should read 'fewer s..t TVs to sell' not 'less'.

Standards are slipping.

I nipped into town to collect a prescription from Boots - was very glad to get back to my sleepy little village.

Pornography produced in the UK was quietly censored today through an amendment to the 2003 Communications Act, and the measures appear to take aim at female pleasure.

Ridiculous.

Though actually, those rules were apparently already in place for dvds and videos, just not for digital production.
