Internet falling to pieces?

    Some strange happenings, occurring on the net lately.
    Starting last week, the colleges main web based resource goes down. The only online game I play has gone to ****, the server is always up and down. The search function on boards is still broken and the only chat client I use just went down!
    I won't even get started on facebook...

    Madness the lot of it, I feel like I'm actually having to reintegrate back into society :eek:

    Is someone systematically trying to take me down, through the means of knocking off my recreational outlets?

    Or has the internet just become shabby in content and quality?

    It's all a mass conspiracy from the underpants gnomes cousins the Network Trolls!

    Step 1: Break Internet
    Step 2: ?
    Step 3: Profit

    It wasn't the Internet, just the curry chips I had for tea, sorry. :o

    I think the internet started going to pieces when its core values and principles were impinged on by stuff such as facebook, bebo, chat clients, games etc.

    I got bored and started pushing random buttons in work. The big red button saying "do not press" caused a lot of screams. Not sure why though.

    Nah you want a nice tasty steak sandwich with onions and mushrooms, melt in the mouth. Might want to have that with a side of crispy french fries all washed down with some ice cold coca-cola.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,613 ✭✭✭Lord Nikon


    Swap the onions for some pepper sauce, and swap the coca-cola for some Pepsi Max.

    WIN

    I'd love some cheesey Doritos and a cup of tea


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,613 ✭✭✭Lord Nikon


    I would love some Jalepeno flavoured McCoys chips right now :)

    Battered mars bar FTW

    I was quietly confident that in fact the internet was just fine.

    Then I logged on and saw a thread about the internet falling to pieces which quickly turned into food porn.

    Yes, it's fcuked.

    Its a wonder the Internet is falling a part. With state sponsored third party spy-ware programmes intercepting through all your Email and browsing. :p
