I find when you buy products through Amazon and stuff, its usually the manufacturers who you want to contact if anything breaks, they're usually very happy to help.

Yes, but legally, you don't have a contract with the manufacturer, your consumer rights are against the seller. Amazon marketplace is a bit different, but even then the seller isn't necessarily the manufacturer.

Old people and their inability to function properly.

How fucking hard can it be to just enter the correct password when using a shared log in instead of getting it reset every few days because of too many attempts.

Stubbed my middle toe earlier. Fucking hurt.
Felt like I had broken it but shook it off thinking it'll be fine.
Just taken my sock off to have a look, it's very purple and very swollen, looks like I was right.

I'm having a great day, smeared with my own shit and now this :(

I had to return some RAM memory sticks to ebuyer once because it wouldn't fit with the new motherboard I bought, I ordered the wrong type of RAM like an idiot. Sent it back and they sent the correct RAM sticks. Had no problems with ebuyer at all and it's where I buy most of my PC stuff from. Overclockers on the other hand are right twats to deal with.

I take it you returned it within 14 days, you try after that when they *should* honour a warranty but don't have to abide by the distance selling regulations.

What he do?

I'm not sure you can see the BBC site but - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-34603118

He's just stirring up shit about sugary drinks and they are talking a sugar tax on drinks with sugar in them, no tax on size 60" waist trousers though, no tax on reinforced mobility scooters either.

In my experience, Overlockers have come a long way through history. They used to be utter cunts back in the day (early 2000s), but they've been absolutely fine the past couple of times I've hard to return stuff?

It's nonsense, despite his 'noble intentions'. Then we might as well start taxing fatties for high CO2 emissions and jews for inhaling too much precious O^2. (See how i did a Job there)

Aye, next they will tax an orange over erm a grape because that has more sugar. I want them to name the companies, say Coke or Pepsi etc but they won't because of the money and it's all about money. Once sugary drinks are wiped out the sugar free ones will rise in price due to higher production costs or some other marketing bullshit.

I don't understand why cunts reactions to stuff like this is always "TAX THE FUCK OUT OF IT! That'll show you poor idiots."

Simply because it works and it's a quick short-term fix. Every time they made big increases to cigarette prices consumption went down.

However the biggest decrease was implementing the laws to stop people smoking in pubs etc but they were much harder and longer to implement. Maybe we'll end up with similar social changes to help with obesity but that's not going to happen today.

I smoke. I hate it. I'm ashamed of the fact I do it yet I carry on like a robot until it will kill me. I can't even say I enjoy it more than life.

But with obesity or eating or conveyor belting pound after pound of fried pig into your face there is no shame or off switch. It's a bragging tool to say how much you ate or how many happy meals your son can shovel into his balloon like dome.

Tax will not stop fat fucks, it will make more money for the rich and punish the already suffering masses.

Isn't this relatively hypocritical? I mean, if anything, smoking is worse than being obese in the respect of blaming the 'individual' or the 'individuals parent'

If you're smoking, you know it's killing you, sure it's very fucking hard to quit, but you still are fully aware.

Food - It's cheaper and easier to take your kids to McDonalds than it is to cook a meal at home (Or atleast that's what people have stuck in their heads.) So there's the financial aspect, and the aspect that we're a great deal lazier, so it's literally -easier- to do that, so why not eh?

People get into a vicious cycle of this, they literally -need- to have McDonalds - I have so many friends now who will go on a 'diet' - and in all fairness, they'll lose weight, but they literally can not cut McDonalds out of their lives.

You may be thinking 'Wtf' at my use of McDonalds as an example, but frankly, this is the issue, it's not the fact that people will go to the shop and buy a huge bag of chocolate and eat it in one night, it's the fact that people will eat colossal amounts of unhealthy food as a part of their 'main meals'

Again, it comes down to economics, and also comes down to education.

Exercise - People don't do it anymore, unhealthy eating is exactly new - I mean, my Grandad ate a fucking -load- all through his life, he LOVED his man butter, he'd literally slap on a mountain onto a doorstop wedge of bread, this was OK when he was working and was active, retired - boom, he got fat, very fast.

It is not just a take away though. It is far easier to go to iceland and get shit food that cooks in 20 minutes than it is to go get fresh fruit and veg and trying to force your kid to eat it.

Oh yeah, don't get me wrong, it's all aspects, but McDonalds is usually the main culprit that people can't cut out.

I was having beers with a mate at his place earlier. He asked me if he could smoke, and I was like " it's your house mate". He smoked. I'm home and stink of second hand cigs :-(

But you get the fresh vegetables from Iceland. Frozen and in a bag, but 5 minutes in the microwave and boom, you have very, very fresh tasty vegetables ready to eat. And they cost nothing.

Oh and I don't have kids, but I have enough friends who do to know that if you feed them a decent diet, they'll love vegetables.

We eat no packaged food in our house. Everything cooked fresh. My son eats two vegetables; peas. Sometimes. And potatoes (well he is Irish). Kids laugh at your "feed them a decent meal" nonsense.
