I hate Valentine's Day. Stupid commercialised crap

I like American Express. They're going to enable me to fly to Japan in about twenty years when I've spent a total of 32,000 with them.

Does everyone @ Amex have an Amex account? Are you required to have a credit card through them? Are you allowed to have bad credit and still work for a credit card company?

we also pride ourselves on our sophisticated, dry sense of humour, and are the only Westerners equipped with the mental agility to deal in the science of irony.

I reckon that's a hand-me-down from Shakespeare. Got it good and ingrained into the culture 500 years ago. Seeing Americans trying to handle irony is like watching a four year old investigating a firearm it pulled out of a cupboard by standing on a chair piled high with unread books.

Hey guess what! I just thought about making a joke about British Steel and then thought that would be awful! So I didn't!

It's not hiliarious so much as it's a steady stream of wry chuckles, maybe interspersed with putting your hand on your chin and going "aha, yes, of course."

The only explanation I could find for it was State of the World's Children. Not much help. It did make me go back and read the thread where Lickapaw used tl;dr for the first time. She really hated me, it seems.

I've wondered that type of thing. If you work at lloyds would they get annoyed if you asked your wages to be paid into a Barclays account?

Yeah well you have to expect a little bit of backlash if you're going to go around using things like 'reason' and 'logic' to expose the glaring holes in a person's ranting generalisations. It's a dirty tactic which can lead to all sorts of unrest on forums.

Probably not, no. My bosses don't get annoyed if I read books published by other people. If you work at McDonalds they probably don't flid out if you have fruit and veg occasionally. Most companies probably accept that there are a wide variety of products on the market and that people might find something better suited to their personal circumstances elsewhere.

I assume you're all like me and you think "I'd like to save the environment but I don't want a shopping bag that has Waitrose or Tesco branding on it and really I want it to be branded with a mildly popular punk band from the 90s so until I can get that I will continue to use plastic bags and choke ducks with them"
Anyway, your prayers have been answered as you can now by a Carter USM Bag for Life. The obvious merchandise choice so you can fill it with cake and sing Sheriff Fatman to yourself.

That doesn't tell people your feelings about slum lords though. What's the point in having a bag to carry shopping if it doesn't convey your musical tastes and personality?

I don't know about lloyds, but if you work at rbs or natwest then they'll only pay your wages into an rbs group account. They'll give you a free gold account though, so it's not too bad really.

I had one for a bit, recently. Assumed it was to do with being tired. Went away on it's own, but it was quite sort of... pleasant in an odd way. Like prodding a bruise.

I get one quite regularly in my left eye. It goes away. Tiredness. Computer screen. Twitch. Twitch. Tired. Twitch. Words. Type. Look. Screen. Twitch. Tired. Bright screen. Words. Twitch.
Anyone know of a decent hairdresser in Edgbaston.
