I hate the way Apple constantly update their products and do not let customers buy last years model at a reduced rate.
There have been more generations of ipods than episodes of Bruce's generation game and they are always full price. I might be wrong here because I have done little to no research on the subject but why don't they let you have the old models at low, low prices?
I couldn't possibly pay £180 to have all my top tunes on my glamorized Walkman because I wouldn't use it that much and I have no interest to watch videos on the thing either.
Okay, I could downgrade but why the hell should I? I don't want to mess about taking all my tracks on and off the bleeding thing only to think, "OMG I am in such an Elton John mood today and I have swapped it for GAGA".
So why not a different brand of MP3 player? Well basically I want an ipod because it is so compatible with iTunes. I have tried Sony in the past and have had real trouble transferring tunes. I'm a simple guy and the whole iPod process looks simple enough to me.
All I am asking for is for Apple to make a no thrills high storage MP3 player for reasonable price, it does not have to fancy and play videos, all it has to do it play tunes. Is this too much to ask? Surely Apple are missing something here, there must be a whole market of modest men who can't justify spending £180 to get what they want. So boo to you Apple, make me a product I can't refuse but until then I ain't buying anything.
This is not about anything!

teachers striking
I can not feel sorry for teachers who strike because they are going to have to work a little longer and have a little less money than they thought they would have.
All public sector workers get very good treatment. Teachers can leave work at 3.30, firemen are paid to sleep all night and their employers give them a real good pension. But all I hear is "I'm going to have to work until I'm 68, please feel sorry for me". Teachers are meant to teach kids but all they do is act like them. If people are living longer on average then people will have to work a little longer, but the same percentage of their life will still be spent working.
I do not know know when I will get to stop working, it might be later than 68. My life is my own and nobody owes me anything so I am not going to complain. I will however complain about how the public sector is run. I would love it if the public sector was run by private companies, then no one would dare complain because there is no such thing as a complaint in the private sector. If I was to go to work and kick up a fuss and complain about anything,I would be told to even shut up or leave.
So, in conclusion, if teachers do not like the deal they are getting they should leave their schools and start teaching privately. How old would most teachers be when they retire with a better pension than they are on now if; they had to find their own students, find their own location, do all their own admin and (here is the big one) guarantee results. The truth is the teachers need they public sector structure far more than it needs them so I think they should just back down on this one.

David Cameron public image
David Cameron is a really nice bloke and I think old ladies love him because he is so well mannered and polite. Plus a clean shirt and shiny shoes never go a miss with the older generation when you are gallivanting around British seaside holiday resorts in your free time. He stops to share and ice cream and a chat then off he goes again.
And then we see him off and holidaying in Ibiza getting around on the Balearic Island on a pedalo (not a speed boat) appealing to the young ones and families. Especially with Samantha going off clubbing at a £21 event and buying a ticket herself, according to the Daily Mail.
Then when I read on a bit more I hear he goes away all the time, fly’s with Ryan Air and stops in mid-market hotels. WOW! Just like I would! Is this the way Cameron markets himself to everyone? Is he so appealing? Is he just like us? The answer is no.
If I had David’s money and stature in Brittan I wouldn’t go around the seaside chatting to oldies, I wouldn’t go to £21 club nights in Ibiza and I most certainly would not fly Ryan Air and stop in midmarket hotels. Does he do this to market himself in times of recession? To be cutting back also, just like the public? No, he does because he is a real tight git.
David is so tight he drags his family on budget, get a seat where you can airlines, and the pedals them across water to the alright but you wouldn’t eat there hotels. David I think you are amazing in times of finical crisis your deep pockets make you seem like a god to the everyday people.
We could not ask for a better PM and I never would. Hear, hear David so perfect it is untrue.
