Staff at PC World and Currys are bracing for a reprimand. The story has made the headlines and heads may roll. Their crime? They’ve moaned about customers to each other. Nothing unusual, really, but the difference is, they’ve taken part in what is the Facebook age’s version of moaning about annoying customers to each other. Customers were branded ‘stupid’ on the wall of an unofficial Dixon’s employees’ Facebook group, and there was suggestion from one user of using a cattle prod to, erm, help sales along a bit. Doubtlessly most electrical store patrons could see the funny side of such comments. I mean, all jobs have their annoyances, right?

The new PS3 Slim is about to hit our shops and obliterate our pockets. But is it any better than the first version?
It certainly looks pretty cool, sporting a matte finish as opposed to the knight-rider gloss of the original. As the name suggests, it is substantially smaller too – by 33 percent to be exact. According to manufacturers Sony, it is also 36 percent lighter and consumes 34 percent less energy.

If you like loads of gays and loud music, then London’s Gay Pride celebrations are where you should have been on the 4th of July.
If you’d just had a row with your missus and thought that the fine architecture and well stocked galleries of central London might provide some respite – you’d instead be confronted with Boy George, The Cheeky Girls and burlesque dancers exposing their nipple tassels to Leicester square.

The hum of low gear economic activity vibrates gently through the streets of England, despite our collective challenges. It doesn’t really look any different; the world continues on its steady course, McDonalds still offers cut price cooked chicken patties and Costa still flogs coffee by the bucket load.

Gay rights campaigners in Germany are celebrating as a couple of gay penguins have hatched and reared a chick that is now four weeks old. ‘Z’ and ‘Vielpunkt’ are the names of the two spheniscidae homosexuals who reside in a zoo in Bremerhaven in Germany which is apparantly, very tasteful.

Dear Google UK,
Do you realise you have goo’d in the Queen’s face? We feel truly offended and wonder what her Royal Highness might make of this surely treasonable act! If putting goo in the face of royalty is not distasteful enough, why has Her Majesty been placed as the lower case ‘g’, when surely she warrants heading the capital ‘G’ of the (once respected) Google logo?

Being a victim of fashion usually involves looking like you’ve stumbled into a Topshop clothes rail whilst being happy slapped by Gok Wan on crack. Mindless pseudo beauties in generic high street clobber parade their fake tan and tramp stamp with pride, and although it’s quite tempting to trip a dolly bird up, generally their fashion choice doesn’t harm their health.
