You can block app requests (at least you can for individual apps, not sure about blocking them entirely). Whenever someone invites me to some app like Candy Crush I just block the entire app, very easy to do.

I never understood what was so enthralling about Candy Crush. I understand playing it whilst waiting for the bus etc., but I can't comprehend people who play this religiously. Furthermore, what difference is there between Candy Crush, and a game such as Bejeweled, that has captivated so many?

Generally never liked Christmas (not in of itself but for all the associated bullsh*& that seems to go with it) but for some reason this year it seems to be shitting me off even more.
You can tell retail is in the shits when every ad is Christmas.

Quite a rant coming up.

Went to buy this lamp at Bunnings today.

http://www.bunnings.com.au/brilliant-11w-30cm-mara-desk-lamp_p4370509

They had it in ******* purple and pink. What a joke. The display model was grey, which is what I wanted, but they couldn't give it to me cos they didn't have the globe. Went and looked at Big W and Harvey Norman. SFA there.

Come home and jump on ebay and find this

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Oriel-Li...?pt=AU_Lighting_Fans&var=&hash=item2332b36580

It is IDENTICAL bar the brand. First is Brilliant and this one Oriel.

So I send a message to them saying

"This is $34 at Bunnings.

I will buy it for that price if you're willing to sell."

They reply with

"Hi

Thank you for your enquiry.

Bunnings does not stock Oriel products, so the product you saw there is may be similar but is not of the same quality.

We offer customers the convenience of not having to leave their homes to do their shopping, and in today's environment where time is valuable to consumers our prices are actually cheaper than Bunnings when you consider the fact we deliver for free to your door. As such, we do not price match with physical stores.

Regards
Nick

So I send back

"It is the same product with a different name, literally identical.

http://www.bunnings.com.au/brilliant-11w-30cm-mara-desk-lamp_p4370509

Don't piss on me and tell me it's raining.

You either take my money or you don't. "

******* knobs.

And I spilt half of my cider before. Was not happy.
