FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

The thing about a site of TIGU's nature is that people feel compelled to send me e-mail about it. This I don't mind, because it shows that people have visited my site, and shown a bit of interest. What really pisses me off is when people start asking the same things over and over again, and to this end I have started this FAQ. If you were going to e-mail me with something remarkably similar to any of the questions below then have a look at the answer there first. Cheers.

  • Q) Who do you think you are anyway?
  • A) I think (but feel free to correct me on this) that I'm just an ordinary guy who's got a bit of spare time on his hands that he's decided to use crafting something for the amusement of others.

  • Q) Oh Yeah? Well what gives you the right to decided what's crap and what isn't?
  • A) Absolutely nothing at all. This page is entirely subjective, but (I'm told) funny with it. If you think you can do better at slagging off things that you don't like, please feel free.

  • Q) How dare you slag off _______ ?
  • A) Mainly because they're shite, whoever they are. If I've slagged them off then I've given my reasons, and I really don't want to know your reasons for liking them.

  • Q) HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT GILLIAN ISN'T A BABE?
  • A) GILLIAN ANDERSON IS NOT, REPEAT *NOT*, A BABE. Unless of course, you're refering to Babe the Pig (AKA Sheep Pig), in which case there is a startling similarity, I admit.

  • Q) Okay, I've stopped my ranting now, can I link to your site from mine?
  • A) Of course. Any advertising is good advertising, especially if I don't have to pay for it.

  • Q) Will you put a link to my site in return?
  • A) Only if it fits the theme I'm afraid. You'll notice that I rarely link to other sites, and those that I do are very much "in the same vein" as TIGU.

  • Q) Are you going to add _______ to your page?
  • A) Maybe. If there's a good reason for despising the thing in question then there's a chance I will; and I will always credit the people that came up with the idea in the first place.

  • Q) I can't get your guestbook / Insult-O-Matic / Quiz / Chatroom to work.
  • A) Firstly the guestbook and chat room are out of my hands, so there's nothing I can do, I'm afraid. Secondly, you need a browser with JavaScript 1.2 to run the other two things (either of the version 4+ browsers should work).

  • Q) You are crap / a loser / smelly / pathetic / friendless etc.
  • A) Look, when will you people learn? It's just not funny to insult me in e-mails. I's the same kind of "joke" as going up to a famous sit-com star and saying their character's catch-phrase to them. Do you think they find it funny? No, and neither do I.

  • Q) Will you e-mail me sometime?
  • A) Another maybe. Depends on how much work I've got to get through, and whether I remember. Believe me, I'm not that interesting a person to be in touch with anyway. Honest.

  • Q) Your page about the Spice Girls / All Saints / Aqua is out of date.
  • A) I know, I know, I just can't be arsed to change it. The original version's probably funnier. And it's a little known fact that Ginger Spice left in order to screw up my cleverly-constructed satire of them. Bitch.
