 Charles Dickens is shit.
	Charles Dickens is shit.His mawkish, sentimental drivel is credited with raising social awareness of the plight of the urban poor. Whilst that's jolly nice of him and all that, his books are a load of fucking twee wank - the plots are utterly unbelievable, the characters are cunts and I reckon he was a fucking poofter.
There, I've said it.
Question: heard about this 'suspended coffee' thing? I cannot decide whether I think it's rather sweet or just a bunch of patronising, smug wankers who've managed to combine the utterly cuntish pastime of being 'into coffee' with 'look-at-me' pseudo altruism.

 What, instead of buying a coffee, people give money to charity?

 They should just put a sign on all counters in coffee places
	They should just put a sign on all counters in coffee places"dear customers, no matter how many coffees you "suspend", the attractive barista will never, ever, sleep with you because she is a minimum-wage slave who utterly and totally despises your worthless cuntish existence with every fibre of her being. Good day"

 I moved my my cursor to the top of the screen, a largish monitor with black surround, a blue button at the bottom and speakers, which allow me to listen to music occasionally
	I moved my my cursor to the top of the screen, a largish monitor with black surround, a blue button at the bottom and speakers, which allow me to listen to music occasionallyI clicked on the icon, slightly off-centre, which takes me to a website called b3ta, where I clicked on a section called off topic, an offshoot of question of the week, another part of the site where members share their anecdotes for the amusement of other users. I notice that there has been a new thread posted by Mr Boyce, in which he wishes to discuss the relative merits of Charles Dickens. I immediately sat back in my blue office chair and pushed my overgrown fringe back out of my eyes and started to consider precisely what it is about Dickens that is so irritating. Having pondered for some time, I once again used my black and grey cordless mouse to move the small arrow on my screen across to click on the reply button, for indeed I had a point that I thought well worth making. But what is this point? I hear you ask. Well, sitting here dressed all in black in an office in Coventry, I put it to you that the man utilises far far too much detail in his books, rendering them utterly dull to anyone who tries to read them.

	Oh, for fuck's sake.Here's a thought. Rather than buy a coffee for someone else, why not wake up, grow the fuck up, stop working in "meeja" and living in London and driving the house prices through the roof, and while you're fucking at it, stop wearing scarves indoors.

	It'd stop clubs buying the titleIt'd prevent clubs charging a fucking fortune for tickets to cover the astronomical wages they pay players
It would force footballers to accept that they're not ACTUALLY worth £250,000 a week, and might stop living and acting like cunts
And most importantly, it might make football about football again

	Clubs don't charge a fortune to cover astronomical wages.Clubs charge a fortune because 60,000 idiots a week will pay a fortune. Pure and simple. It's probably Thatcher's fault as well.
And, football is still about football.

 Whilst that is true
	Whilst that is truethe single overriding reason for ticket prices is what the market will bear. The second they stop selling tickets, prices will come down.
Saying that it's unfair how much tickets cost and everything should be the same is like saying it's unfair some people can afford Ferraris and we should all be forced drive round in Fiestas.
