I've sat here at work this morning, revising.

I haven't been able to use my PC, there was a problem with it's BIOS, and I had to wait a day and a half for a man to spend 5 minutes fixing it. Why couldn't they just tell me how to do it?

Anyway, whilst revising, I noticed a large amount of acronyms. Crap acronyms that cheat.

I always thought acronyms had to use the first letter of each word, but no, not half of these, they don't use any letters from some words, and the 2nd or 3rd from another. That's cheating.

Criminal organisations always have acronyms like F.E.A.R. and stuff, but that's okay, because they'rew master criminals.

Anyway, I've had enough, that's why I have set up the Association of iNdividuals aGainst acronymS Terrible, or ANGST....

You have far too much free time on your hands, especially if you were supposed to be working.
