Pointless Merchandise
I am baffled by many things and most are explained quite well by Uncyclopedia. However, something no-one has ever explained to me is why companies, and charities imparticular, seem to give out random pieces of stationery to potential customers/users of their service/hobos. The most recent of these attacks of RIPS (random, idiotic, pointless stationery) was from a service called Connexions. They provide all sorts of services to all sorts of people, but still need to give out merchandise. And they have expanded from stationery. We were given draw-string bags, booklets and all sorts of stuff. What really baffles me is that charities, often strapped for cash, pay extra to get their name on stuff, which makes people less likely to use it, having the exact opposite effect to the one desired!
Anyway that is my random rant for the day. Also please let it be known that the emergency services can be emailed, but if you still want to call them, the number is now 0118 999 881 999 119 725 3.*
Finally, I need a list, and as I am currently in an annoying mood, here is a list of the twistiest routes in Britain.
- B3081 - Cann Common in Dorset to Tollard Royal in Wiltshire.
- A686 - Penrith to Melmerby in Cumbria.
- A537 - Macclesfield in Cheshire to Buxton in Derbyshire.
- A466 - Monmouth to Staunton in Monmouth.
- A4061 - Pricetown to Treorchy in Rhondda.
- A157 - Louth to Mablethorpe in Lincolnshire.
- B2130 - Godalming to Cranleigh in Surrey.
- B6270 - Keld to Reeth in North Yorkshire.
- A39 - Bridgewater to Minehead in Somerset.
- B797 - Mennock to Wanlockhead in Dumfries & Galloway.
I have only ever been on one of those, number 9, not that it makes any difference.
Anyway, I need your help. I have an English presentation due tomorrow, where I have to argue that Big Brother is not actually real enough to class as ‘reality TV’. Any thoughts, email me or post a comment.
