Wm Grant and Sons are Bastards.
On Saturday I finished my latest bottle of Sailor Jerry Rum. I went to Sainsbury's and bought another. "Ooh" thought I "New label! Not as impressive as the old one but meh, things change."
I got it home and poured myself a liberal libation. It didn't smell right and tasted like Tescoes own brand dark stuff. Ok, but nothing like the real thing. I then found out the recipe has changed "After consulting you the drinker."
They didn't consult me or I would have told them it is brown water of the arsehole kind. It is rotten.

What do you think has changed and not for the better?

Never has something that has been described as "New and Improved"

Because the new one is cheaper to produce.
Fuck the consumers, we're here to make shitloads of money.

I will be stealing this term
I stole a term last night from the film "In The Loop".

One of the characters asks: "Who dropped a bollock in the noodles?"

I LOLed and everything..

Bristol City Football Club
A few months ago, the players looked like they were all mates and liked playing football.

Not any more.

My internet connection
It was fine, great in fact, until yesterday and now it keeps dropping out.

What have the bastards done to it now? And they'll charge extra no doubt.

Radio and television
Once upon a time, we used to have a few channels, broadcasting (in the main) decent programmes in high quality, by the standards of the day.

Now we have hundreds of them, transmitting a multitude of shitty programmes in degraded video and audio quality.

Progress, my arse.

Agreed
I try and avoid TV where ever possible. My wife however channel hops. I checked the other day and we have 92 channels and shes always saying "there's nothing on"
