Re: Entropy

One of the trials of having a turntable older than my wife is it sometimes gives suprises. Tonight is was sounding awful and was about to swap back to my newer one (which is just younger than her) and suddenly everything literally popped. I reckon I have a sticky bearing. Sounds fine again now but i...

Real men used to use coal tar soap, until coal tar was banned :( sob.

Waxing is expensive but there is a generation who consider this to be a worthwhile expenditure. It takes all sorts.

Re: How Can We Piss Off Our Customers Today? A P&G Case Study

I see a fault in this logic. The women who don't like hairy men send them for a back, sack and crack wax. I don't get it, but hey ho consenting adults and all that :) My wife is Indian so I am considerably LESS hairy than her original marriage expectations. Win Win. Fun fact: Guerneville CA where my...

Re: How Can We Piss Off Our Customers Today? A P&G Case Study

As a non-alpha wuss I only get through a 10 pack of disposables every 14 months. Isn't going to affect anyones bottom line one way or another, so cheapest bulk pack costco has on offer. Turns out I spend more on unilever products than P&G. I remember visiting one of the largest perborate plants ...

Re: How Can We Piss Off Our Customers Today? A P&G Case Study

Oxford is mostly the same. Centre hasn't changed much since 1830! Whitney likewise, just more housing estates. Rich people like to live in that part of oxfordshire so they make sure it stays quaint. I have fond memories of my trips to Dallas in the last 90s. A good friend did live about 5 miles from...

Re: How Can We Piss Off Our Customers Today? A P&G Case Study

I'll not comment on the rape thing. It's too close to home and rather say no more. I don't get offended by Adverts. I get offended when dead children wash up on the beach because of some bast**d politicians in italy. I do however thing that there are discussions that should be had openly. push the e...

Re: How Can We Piss Off Our Customers Today? A P&G Case Study

The ad campaign fuss has made BBC website now. 2.7million views. AKA you can't buy advertising like that. Bear in mind women shave too. Will be interesting to see how this pans out. I do find it slightly amusing how upset some people are getting over an advert though. BTW I have no idea what 'toxic ...

Re: How Can We Piss Off Our Customers Today? A P&G Case Study

You can find a correlation anywhere you look. http://tylervigen.com/spurious-correlations :) . In a way having young kids is good as I really don't have time to worry about conspiracies. Also our politicians are busy screwing everything up with no plan in UK at the moment! Those in power generally a...

Re: How Can We Piss Off Our Customers Today? A P&G Case Study

I wonder if it will. It gets people talking, which changes their decisions. And you can't get P&G out of your life without serious effort. They are everywhere, although at least Pringles are not one of their brands any more. I always thought the next bond villain should be the boss of a P&G ...
