You need to turn your CPU overclocking up to 11.

Nigel Tufnel: The numbers all go to eleven. Look, right across the board, eleven, eleven, eleven and...

Marty DiBergi: Oh, I see. And most amps go up to ten?

Nigel Tufnel: Exactly.

Marty DiBergi: Does that mean it's louder? Is it any louder?

Nigel Tufnel: Well, it's one louder, isn't it? It's not ten. You see, most blokes, you know, will be playing at ten. You're on ten here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up, you're on ten on your guitar. Where can you go from there? Where?

Marty DiBergi: I don't know.

Nigel Tufnel: Nowhere. Exactly. What we do is, if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do?

Marty DiBergi: Put it up to eleven.

Nigel Tufnel: Eleven. Exactly. One louder.

Marty DiBergi: Why don't you just make ten louder and make ten be the top number and make that a little louder?

Nigel Tufnel: [pause] These go to eleven.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Food Bag needs some recipe testers.

Tonight's says to prepare carrot and onion and set aside separately, only for the very next instruction to combine them in the same pot.

Sounds more like they need some of us INTPs on their team to correct their logical inconsistencies.

When you give a thank you wave to a vehicle that has pulled over to let you pass only to see them pulling into a side street or driveway in your mirrors.

Nah, us ESTJs just want to get it out the door. What could go wrong?

When, rather than putting food in a sealed container, someone leaves a half empty tin of baked beans or beetroot or somesuch in the fridge. Especially when it's only been half opened and the sharp edge of the lid is sticking up like one of those Vietcong traps in the Mekong delta jungle.

Did Eric Clapton really think she looked wonderful...or was it after the 15th outfit she tried on and he just wanted to get to the party and get a drink?

I had an email alert for hp laserjet printers in this area for probably 6 months and I was happy to buy a 20 year old b&w model just for everyday printing. Nothing really came up so I eventually brought a new colour model last week. Then today a suitable model shows up on trademe ...

I have done this before but...

People who for some unknown reason cannot correctly space telephone numbers when they give you them verbally or in writing. eg 0274 XXX XXX rather than 027 XXX XXXX which is the correct form. Grrrr.

Who says that is the correct form (apart from yourself, obviously)? For example, when I lived in Switzerland, phone numbers were given as pairs of digits. 0xx xxx xx xx How is your format more correct (or even better) than theirs?

I'll agree that yours is the most common format, and therefore we should all use it. Like driving on the left...

People who park their cars on the footpath. The clue is in the name - footpath. You are looking for the carpark.

If the road is not wide enough to park safely, you cannot park there. If there are yellow lines, you cannot park there. If there are no empty carparks, you cannot park there. Under no circumstances is it acceptable to park on the footpath and berm. Where are people supposed to walk? You have to walk out into traffic and go round the stupid car. It's annoying enough for me, I can't imagine how dreadful it is for someone in a wheelchair/on a mobility scooter/pushing a pram.

This annoys me so much that I actually just think people who do this should have their car instantly impounded and crushed and their license permanently suspended.
