The Weekly Whinge

My friend recently decided to recycle her iPod touch via Banana Green in order to get a little extra cash.  This was an immaculate iPod touch which was only about 4 months old and had only been used a couple of times if you were lucky and Banana Green quoted £100 for this which seemed [...]

I knew it was not just me that thought BMW drivers are a menace on the roads but seemingly there is a fault with the cars which is causing their owners to drive like dicks.  Personally I am more inclined to blame the driver than the car as it sounds like another variation of the [...]

I have recently started to file for divorce and whilst I was trying to take my time, ensure I had the right forms and documentation my wife has been trying to push me through the process faster than I wanted referring me to online divorce services such as Divorce UK.  Whilst these appear good and [...]

Almost everyone will know of the age old argument of which OS is better, Windows or Mac OS, and there will always be people on both sides of the argument and I believe each has their own benefits.  A few weeks ago however, myself (a Windows user) and a colleague (a Mac user) both agreed [...]

This time I was trying to catch my train [...]

I launched this site at the weekend and in order to get the Akismet plugin working I had to go and register with Wordpress.COM in order to get an API key to activate the plugin.  When I got to the site I though my vision had gone funny as sometimes when I work at a [...]

I guess my first official whinge has to be about getting forced to re-think what domain name I wanted for this site. After deciding that I wanted to produce this website I wanted the domain name “thedailywhinge.com” so off I went to Heart Internet to register it only to find that it had already [...]

I think she has become a bit tired of my ramblings [...]
