please excuse me while I have a slight pissy fit
I would like to point out this is no way a personal attack but for all those people who say "I didn't play the national lottery and won a pound" could you please explain how that works?

does someone from the lottery come along and give you a nice shiny gold coin for not purchasing a ticket? no they don't, you have exactly the same amount of money as you started with, you have won nothing, nada, zip, you are an equilibrium of balance.

I didn't buy an £90,000 Aston Martin today so that doesn't make me £90,000 richer does it? of course it bloody doesn't so please stopit stopit stopit stopit for the love of all that is cute and fluffy.

breathes out.

bah.

If I buy those shoes I save £30. How does that work?

Well
You're £90,000 richer than you would be if you bought an Aston Martin. Although it's a bad analogy, as you can then immediately sell the Aston Martin on, whereas a losing lottery ticket is worthless.

It depends on your perspective. Also, I've got to say, this is one of the most pointless rants I've ever seen - I've been hanging around B3ta for almost a year, so that's saying something. If I had a trophy for 'World's Most Pointless Rant', I would be presenting it to you this very second.

Well done you...
