I don't see the big deal to be honest. I deal with parcel force. They are a farce and therefore parcel farce is appropriate. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

/Thread, that is the point I was trying to make. I'm sure there is a 'technical term' for this kind of play on words when it come to names, almost like rhyming slang but not...
Micro$oft... I swear I've still seen that being used in 2014. Can I join in the rant, with anything that is a generalisation as an insult, Fanboy, iSheep etc... Oh feck it, can I go off on one about any generalisation about anything! We apply labels and badges to anything and everybody, and it should stop. Right now. People assign insulting names to companies (EG ParcelFarce) to say 'look how clever I am'. It's assigning a derogatory name to a company / group of people to basically say "You are rubbish and I'm better than you because I know you are rubbish" People assign names to groups of peopler to belittle them (Queers, Liberals, Chavs, Travellers, Gypos, Immigrants etc). Again at it's a heart it means "I'm better than you" People assign names to groups of people and themselves as badge of honour... to belong (Gamer, Environmentalist, Liberal, Christian etc). If you don't have the right badge, then you don't belong in some way.. Again, it's "I'm better than you"... or at least it's "I'm different than you and that makes me feel good" No good comes from any of it (IMHO). The whole 'naming' of others and the flip-side defining who we are with a name or title just fosters a them and us mentality. It's basically tribe / clan / gang behaviour, and this behaviour can lead to atrocities such as oppression, the caste system, honour killings, ethnic cleansing and even genocide. We're a cruel species... it may start with a ParcelFarce but it may just well end with an Auschwitz
Ah bring it, cuzzy! My Kiwi buddy helped me build my deck last summer, which spawned a LOT of 'comedy'...
My mum told the builders that she likes a big deck that she can sit on in the evening. Could the builders do her one.... And when we first moved to the UK we lived in a place that was also a working farm. She went and asked the farmer for some pegs. "no, this is a cow farm we don't have pigs". Also, Guin.... wow scary times.
Hahahaha nice. One of my favourite moments was when an old Kiwi colleague asked if she could have a pen from the stationery supplies. The chap in charge then searched high and low for a pin... She was most confused when she got it (as was he when he handed it over)... Hours of fun. You must have seen this, Lance... Eat some ice cream, do some bombs...
Finally we got round to Hitler, I'd been waiting. We got a hint of it with Auschwitz, but there is the full hitler statement. This internet is done now, we've been full circle.
