"I ordered it but it never arrived"

FUCK YOU. THAT'S NOT ABOUT THE PRODUCT.

"It got here but didn't fit in my kitchen"

THEN BUY A FUCKING MEASURING TAPE.

I've rarely seen a helpful one star review.

Are you able to filter or sort the reviews by "% who found this helpful"?

Aye would be splendid if they did. I want to buy a cross trainer which is a bit of a ball ache. Build quality does appear to be the theme of most of the ones I have been looking at but im wondering how much that can be attributed to the way its assembled by the numpty that bought it. I might need to gamble with that.

Yes. I use a Netgear one. It works, but still drops out occasionally.

Three stars are usually the best as you get a more objective review. But most one stars are hilarious and riddled with grammatical errors.

Came across these gems last year on Amazon on a DVD player (2 have been added since I last saw it, one is OK but the other new one is equally as silly as the older ones)-

The last one is hilarious :lol:

A long shot, but does anyone know of a decent budget laptop backpack? My current laptop bag goes over the shoulder but has a really small strap and is quite uncomfortable to carry, and I need to move my laptop to my labs and back fairly regularly.

Anyone heard of a FB Group called "Bloodstock is REAL and purely INDEPENDANT"

Please note that is their spelling of the latter word, not mine !!!

Sounds dodgy and O/S has just been signed up without his consent :x 116 new members in last few days. Any clues/views ??

Had a glance, Vicky was adding people by the looks of things. Maybe a page for the Bloodstock Trivium fan club? :eyes:
