Ever wonder why small businesses get pissed off with banks? No, me either, until I heard of Matt's (my flatmate) conversation with them, at which point I realised that if/when I ever start my own business, I'm going to have to keep my money under my mattress, and only pay … Continue reading Barclays are twats.
I'm sorry, but I can't do it anymore. I can't pretend that I'm in love with you anymore, I'm just not. I've fallen for your younger cousin, who, when we first started our relationship was an ugly, akward thing, full of odd habits and stupid decisions - but now she's … Continue reading Dear Pro Evo, it’s not you, it’s me.
It's inevitable. It's frustrating. It's a complete pile of arse.
