Just tried to buy a book that I've been meaning to get for a couple of years. Last time I checked, there were loads of used copies floating about for a couple of quid each. Looks like it went out of print at some point since then, and the going rate for a tatty old paperback now seems to be about £25  <_<

Jam by Yahtzee Croshaw. Looks like it's getting a second edition in May, but that's a bit late for the flight I'd planned to read it on.

Guess I'll be breaking out the old copy of 120 Days of Sodom again  :(

See what you mean, checked my usual haunts. Available on kindle for £4.89 if you're prepared to join the 21st century though.

People using “are” instead of “our”. Seen this sometime this morning and I’m still miffed.

People using "seen" inappropriately instead of "saw," hear it regularly on a daily basis and I'll be on a killing spree by the end of the year

I think the wife's already got it for her Kindle; the bitch.

Maybe I'll just stay at home with the Kindle, see how she likes wheeling herself around  :angry:

One I'm guilty of is writing "there's instead of there are" when referring to a plural. "There are" just seems overly formal.

I resisted kindle for ages, but since I started struggling with small text in bad lighting it's a fucking godsend. Get pissed off at Christmas and Birthdays because people keep giving me books.

One that annoys me is that the OH constantly uses the word “this” instead of “just” as in “I’m ok this now”.

I’m sure it’s because he’s from Dundee.

More your fault for shacking up with a Dundonian, imo. Least he’s okay, even if it is ‘this now’...

Maybe if you post this on Mumsnet, someone's DD will tell you to boot him in the stones.

I've been paying bills online this morning, which is always a depressing experience. When I got to the car insurance, the web page flashed up in big red letters "Amount due - this includes a past due amount." It freaked me the f**k out because I thought I'd missed paying it last month, which would mean there's a lot less money in the bank account than I was expecting.  However, when I checked into it, I found that I had indeed paid last month and the next payment is due on March 8. Which is today.

Aye, so it's not "past due" then is it, ya fuckers?
