I can’t stand those radio adverts where some cunt whizzes through about a thousand different terms and conditions and then also says ‘terms and conditions apply’.
Also pisses me off when you try and download something on the pc and you have to accept their T&Cs, but not until you’ve had to read the whole list and tick an agreement box. Who reads all that crap anyway?
On the subject of radio adverts too, I also can’t stand that dippy sounding bint (Gina Mellotte, apparently) on the Vodafone advert, who sounds like she’s having an orgasm, whilst extolling the wonders of the Vodafone UK big winter sale.

This has been my bugbear for years, especially when installing computer apps. But the offers on TV and radio ads are just as bad should you be bothered to read such things.
But they know the majority of people won’t read the T&Cs, either because its written in legalize bollocks, or just too long winded and complicated to bother with. They could add any old shite and bury it in somewhere deep, such as “We will take £100 out of your account every month just for a laugh!”, and if you accept the T&Cs they’ll do just that. And there’s not a lot you can do because you agreed to it.
Then on the flip side you get customers who moan about the product, especially to do with finance and that they’re losing money. But they choose to ignore the T&Cs, especially where it says “stock market fluctuations means the value of your investments can go DOWN as well as up!”. But punters choose to ignore that bit and demand their money back because they didn’t understand the T&Cs when they clicked “Agreed”
Cunts on both sides of the fence really

There should be a law against ghost writing unfair terms and conditions written into contracts. Will it happen, I highly doubt it. Anything about taking people’s money without a product to show for it or taking people’s assets.
You could argue they agreed to it but most people haven’t got the time to read through 20 pages of bullshit. Business contracts you do, but consumers don’t read it. I’m guilty of it too.
It’s wank.

I’m quite anal in this respect and will often read through the T & C’s if it’s something important. But that depends entirely on whether I think the product is important enough with respect to the length of them. If some cheap shit I would vaguely like comes with a 50 page document to wade through it can fuck off, I just won’t bother. Buying a car on finance is another matter and I will read them, entirely.

What the cat man said. Proportionate and sensible approach.

It’s the ticking the ” I am not a robot” bit that I don’t get…if I was a robot up to no good and capable of negotiating myself to that particular hurdle,I probably wouldn’t have any qualms about lying about my robotednesss.

…thinking about it…it’s probably racist too….there’d be hell to pay if there was a box to confirm ” I am not a Sooty” when applying for a position of trust or ” I am not a Fruity Gentleman” when applying to be a Public Toilet attendant.

Do T&C’s apply to Hewitt and Sparkle Tits?? He says it is not safe to return to the UK? Yet in lives in a dystopian shit hole of LA. Granny I won’t visit unless I get my protection back. Cunt.

Not safe? From who I wonder.
The general public who despise him and his awful missus perhaps?
The ginger snowflake cunt…

I always suppose if there is a dispute with anything then by the time they start quoting from the T&C they have already decided to pull my pants down.
Ryansair did it in 2020.I had to use the credit card chargeback facility to get a refund.
That wasn’t in their T&Cs.
The cheapskate cunts.
9
Unkle Terry, I thought you were a man of taste? Ryanair? Fuck me anyone but.
3
I flew in light aircraft a quite bit in my youth but Ryanair was my first experience of traveling in an actual airliner. Like a number 9 bus with wings. Cramped, smelly and uncomfortable.
Oh, and unbelievably overpriced dinks and snacks served up by surly stewardesses…

Everywhere👎
Even posting on IsAC, we are agreeing to the terms and conditions – no cunting, cunters, certain words anathema to wordfence, etc….
(Indeed. In fact we may revise the current terms & cons so that only rich, influential, civilised and polite cunters will be allowed to post on here, especially nubile young ladies. – Day Admin)

“Dwářf” always tickled me. Er…Wordfence not allowing it, I mean. Not that I want to be tickled by a stumpy Dinklage.
Those fuckers have freaked me out ever since watching ‘The Singing Ringing Tree’ as a kid!

They prefer to be called midgets nowadays.
(apart from M&S of course – Day Admin)

M&S, DA?
Mong0ls and spa§tics?
(There is a nomination due to go live very soon regarding Marks & Sparks’ decision to do away with some sweets called “midgets”. The Islington classes are hugely offended apparently. – Day Admin)

Admin:
Am I correct in thinking that “cough” contributions “cough” to the IsAC benevolent fund will be most welcome?

Rich, civilised, influential and polite?
Shit. That’s me out already 😞

Blowjob Boris has his own set of T&Cs when running the country:-
“Win an election by acting like a twat
Screw the voters over what was promised in our election manifesto
Make sure that my darling wife has a major say in policy decisions even though no one voted for her.
Turf out any cunts that don’t agree with me or my Princess
Make sure that we bankrupt the country before I stand down.
Make sure that my family, and myself abide by a different set of rules, and that if I get found out I can just blag with some more buffoonery that won me the last election.
Everyone’s home may be at risk if they don’t keep up with huge tax rises and hugely expensive and impractical Green energy projects
Everyone will think I am a statesman when I step down because I am hugely popular.
If you agree with my T&Cs, vote YES for the Conservatives at the next election”

That vodaphone advert winds me up every time I hear it. Very annoying. The got bird on it is very tasty though

I’ve no problem with the fact that they must mention that T&C’s apply, it’s just the pointless hundred mile an hour voiceovers that get on my tits. They can explain all that bollocks at the point of sale. Radio adverts are painful enough without some loud mouth voice actor trying to get into the Guinness book of records for words per second. I’m also fucked off with being asked to accept cookies all the pissing time. Do I have a choice really? Oh, and ban police sirens on radio adds. I always think the rozzers are on my case when I hear that when driving.
8
I managed to download some realistic wavs of British police sirens and when I play them with the windows down at full volume in slow traffic some other drivers shit themselves.
There’s one of squealing tyres followed by a loud bang / crunching noise of a car hitting a wall.
This works well at pedestrian crossings.

What about all website cookies, or your privacy is important to us crap. I know it is you twats you make money from it, but surprisingly it is important to me aswell so fuck off.
6
As much as I loathe those cookie pop-ups, it is a step forward in terms of you being able to manage what personal information and how it is distributed.
Before then (probably before GDPR-2018), you had little or no control over what PI was sent over the internet. But now you can decide on what is and what isn’t sent, although to be honest I doubt it will make much difference.
Moreover I think when you’re given the option to customise your personal information there are so many options to turn on or off that a lot of people just think “fuck it, I’ll accept everything”, which is exactly what these websites want you to do by gradually grinding you down until eventually you relent.

The thing is all cookies leave data packets on your PC if allowed. You can only customise the harmless settings, the juicey spy tracker settings are locked under the essential cookies this you have to accept, or the web site doesn’t function properly, like playing videos or purchasing items.
Ever wondered why ads for previously viewed items randomly appear on curtain none related web sites, they have your IP address and know when your PC is active via tracking cookies. The big tech rule is agree to us monitoring you for revenue, or get limited access. Disable Cookies unless necessary , but always Block ads, delete Cookies and History afterwards, also a good VPN is becoming a requirement now, BIG BROTHER IS DEFINITELY HERE, and all the main op systems are open to it by default, so turn it all off when you can.

This was why 56K modems were better because they had dynamic ip’s. Now we have static ip’s for individuals. It’s wrong.

It applies to everything this!
I took my old mum for to the hairdresser’s,
In small print it said
‘perms and conditioner applied’.

What happens when you take your younger mum?

It’s funny that the cough jab administrations never asked you to sign up to “I accept terms and conditions”
They probably couldn’t word it enough to escape any future scrutiny so they just got the govs to sign a disclaimer on our behalf.
If they did have to produce a terms and conditions script
This is an experimental jab that has the ability to recognize covid when you meet and shake hands.
You’re adjusted immune will say I knew I’d met you somewhere before I just couldn’t put my finger on it
After a night out with cov a headache ensues for breakfast time
Now If cov should happen to invite a few of his relations you probably won’t recognize them and we take no responsibility for your protection should you meet up with his cousins .
We also take no responsibility for any adverse affects relating to a compromised immune system in future pandemics.
I Accept 🤒

T’s & C’s, Privacy Notices, and Cookie Settings are all cunts.
Nobody is interested, nobody reads the damn things, and to access the sites most people just accept these things without even knowing what they are,
Take Cookie Notices as an example. I’ve no idea what a cooky is and I’ve absolutely no interest in finding out. I’ve seen US websites that have a different take on this with a “we don’t abide with the EU Cookie Laws so you can’t access this site from Europe – goodbye”. Excellent stuff. The thing is though, why does the UK still have to comply with this shite now we’ve left the EU?
Answers on a postcard to…

T’s n C’s … loadsa fuckin’ shite! It’s no different to the old buyer beware … be very fuckin’ aware! The responsibility is on the individual to do their own due diligence/risk assessment on everything they decide to do or not to do … if you choose to ignore it is only a matter of time before someone fucks up your whole day … or life. You are responsible for your own actions. That said semi decent lawyers can drive a bus through the majority of stuff on ‘technicalities’. In my profession everything we do and say is subject to interpretation and often brings very serious consequences when terms of employment, rules of engagement conflict with the rule of law, local regulatory apparatus, or someone’s perverted view of same. The abuse of T&C’s is seen by many as to how to conduct their lives … I see it every day.

Dont forget the now standard ‘prices will rise at CPI plus 3.9% each year’ part of radio ad ts and cs which is rattled off faster than Hamilcunt off the grid or any rabid darquay screaming racism at every opportunity. Trouble is we cant fast forward radio ads unlike a recorded tv prog.
2
Get a VPN, get ad blocker and when asked, go to the options and reject all.
If that’s too much arse, fuck the site off but take note of any contact details and send a ripe, vitriolic request in. Fuck those cunts.

This cunting has reminded me of that ebay radio advert from a few years ago…. It’s pretty sad that I remember it but it did make me laugh.
