Blank CDs
I remember a few years back, my friend and I wanted a bit of money so we devised the highly original idea of copying computer games and selling them at a market well-known for this trade. However, we were lazy and decided in the end we couldn't be bothered copying one game onto 30-40 discs, it would simply take too long. So we just decided to sell blank discs and pretend they had games on them.
This also meant we could effectively sell games that didn't exist, or weren't out yet. So I scanned in some PS2 game covers (eg. GTA Vice City - long before it was relased on PC; and some other PS2 exclusive games) and I modified the covers to say "PC CD-Rom". Then we found an empty stall which a few hours later we got thrown off for not paying for and sold the games for £5 each, mainly to 10 year olds.
I like to think we made a lot of children cry that day.

Death
I find it pissing annoying that I'll have to die, and what's even worse is it will be after only about 80 years! What the fuck is going to take place that's remotely exciting in the 60 or so years I might have left? Nothing.
Are we going ot terraform Mars in that time? No fucking way. Are we going to have world peace and an end to prejudice so I don't have to walk down a street without hearing some cock going on about "bloody Poles/Pakis/Chinks (delete as applicable)"? No. Are we going to have widespread adoption of teleportation ending the hegemony of oil? No. Am I going to get any good at pool in that time? No. Are we going to make contact with an alien race, let alone for long enough to deduce their inevetibly bizzare language enough that we can have meaningful conversations about esoteric topics such as if you go back in time 2000 years and bring back brand new vase, is it 2000 years old or just one day? No. Will there be anything decent on Channel 5 in that time? No. Are we going to end world hunger, disease and overpopulation? No. Are we going to convert the Moon into a nuclear powerplant? No. Are we going to harness the power of the Sun so we can cure global warming by turning it down to gas mark 5? No.
All those things might happen when I'm dead though. I feel like I've not so much missed the boat, as arrived at the seaport dying from a stab wound.

» Advice from Old People
An old person once told me:
"Never confuse correlation with causation. Since I realised that, my life has been so much better."
One day, someone will find this joke funny.

People who condemn anything remotely high-brow as "pretentious"
Wanting to become a more knowledgable person is somehow a bad thing, is it? If I want to learn French, I'll bloody do it. If I want to learn about the political machinations of the Roman Empire, I'll do it as well, rather than watch another one of the 400 documentaries about fucking Hitler on Channel 5. If I want to watch Peter Cook doing proper satire rather than Dead Ringers who think satire is dressing up as Jordan and repeating catchphrases, I'll do it. If I want to spend half an hour photoshopping a picture of Tony Blair's head onto Michaelangelo's David, then I'll do it.
None of that is pretentious. Pretentiousness is doing a shit on a floor, covering it in crisp packets and then flogging it as art.
See also: people who critisice others for having "too much free time".
