Oh My Actual!!
#1
I just recieved an advert offering me 50% off at Tiger Tiger.

WHY??

Is there ANYTHING about my general appearance or anything else that could give even the most infinitessimal indication that i'm a yah and would enjoy partaking of anything Tiger related in the slightest?? Please tell me so i can rectify it at once.

This is even more disturbing than that time i got an advert for '100% REAL Women looking for ACTUAL sex in your area!!'

Have these people even HEARD of market research??

Lmao it's like the viagra emails that materialise every so often - believe me, that's the last thing I need. Lol2

Seriously though, it's Shotgun Theory of advertising - spread as widely and indiscriminately as possible, and you're bound to get a result. It's not a particularly -good- form of advertising or marketing, but it is relatively cheap, requires minimal effort and is sometimes effective.

Obviously though, it's ridiculously poor quality marketing by comparison to other methods, as it technically isn't marketing at-all, more of an indiscriminate and pathologically annoying whoring of products to any and all with email access.

My advice - set your Junk filters to strict, and if there's recurring senders, set a junk filter for those senders.

I've done a spot of digging and discovered i've been added to the actual official Tiger Tiger mailing list for some reason. Someone's idea of a joke, i'm hoping...

Heads will roll when i find out who did it. You can rest assured.

Lol you realise that could be any marketing or advertising partner, such as the ones who shamelessly hawk peoples contact details to the highest bidder with little regard for their personal choices and/or the Data Protection Act?

But if it is an individual that you know, please do let me know, you can borrow a wet fish to slap them with. XD

Do you keep a stock of wet fish handy?? Whatever floats your boat, i guess... :tongue::tongue:

But thanks, i'll be sure to let you know.

Nah, if tis a marketing type i has the right to sue. I'll only ever sign if there's a wee ticky box thingy forbidding the passing on of details for purposes other than processing my application yada yada yada blah blah blah wank wank wank jizz jizz jizz and other such legal terms...

I'm wracking my brains to think if i signed up for anything of theirs. I can't see a situation ever where i'd think being on the guest list at Tiger Tiger would be anything other than an indictment. And i'm unashamedly blasting Geri Halliwell at full volume in my flat right now.

LOL shoalong...

You'd be amazed at how cripplingly difficult it actually is to make a civil or criminal action against a company for offences in contravention of the data protection act, particularly due to the incredible maze of data exchanges that make finding and proving the offending party almost impossible.

In particular, where no actual loss has been experienced and no significant damage done to the persons reputation or standing, then virtually nobody is willing to invest the time and effort required to have even a potential chance of a successful prosecution.

In other news - Geri Halliwell, oh, good god, please make it stop, my ears are bleeding, I think I may just have died.

Says the guy who was standing on a table playing air guitar to Whitesnake, Def Leppard and for no apparant reason, Shania Twain last night.

Not that I was drinking at-all... or having a wildly unrespectable all-night party... nice, upstanding citizen that I am... :tongue:

Gutted. But that said, i'm incredibly good at kicking up shit when i get set off. I usually find threatening legal action is enough to get arses moving. Long live the complaining letter!! When i threatened GE Capital the FSA they got their asses in gear and did exactly what i demanded Confusedmile:

As for Geri Halliwell, i find her awfulness motivating when exercising. Cos the faster and harder i work, the sooner i'll be finished and can turn it off...

And don't diss the Twain. I has all her albums, i do. I'm quite an aficionado, if that's not too much of an oxymoron hehe

Well i'm sure that you, being as upstanding a citizen as i, definitely didn't consume any of that alcomohol stuff that i avoided like the plague at the party i attended until a reasonable hour over new years. I definitely wasn't at my friends' house drunk for more than 35 hours.

It's not easy being this morally consicous, huh??

Lol 35 hours of partying with alcohol? Me? Nay, perish the thought!

Haha fair point on the Geri thang, and I've nothing against Shania so to speak, but given that it somehow shifted from 80s rock to... her... well, incongruity abounds.

I'm wondering whether it would be completely inappropriate to party again tonight... what do you think?

I sees no reason why not. I would be if i didn't have an 8.30 start at work tomorrow and a flat to clean up (in spite of noone having been in it this week pretty much tis filthy again. HOW??) I'm having a dinner party after work finishes tomorrow, with friends and alochol aplenty, so flat needs to be cleeeeean. Grr.

Hmmm, some of her earlier stuff is quite guitar heavy for country/pop/rock, could it have led in without you realising??

Gonna reward myself with some sloe gin after ive made dinner i thinks...

LOL aww I know, regardless of how clean your place may seem when you leave it, I'd stake a month's wages (or a loaf of bread, depending which is worth more after the economy's had it's next round of Piss On The People) that it'll resemble the interior of a small shanty hut in Rio de Janeiro by the time you get back.

I've never yet worked out how this happens, answers on a postcard please!

Ahh could be that with the whole Shania thang, crafty devil!

Heh ykno, I think I shall party tonight - (insert appropriate excuse here). XD
