Chicken-fried Gibberish from the Ayatollah - Hinge and brackish

Terry-Thomas

You know those double CDs you get sometimes? That's right, the ones where there is a CD on top as normal and then another one underneath that you have to lift part of the box to get at. Well, they're another thing that needs a law of standardisation put in place. Either hinge them at the spine or hinge them at the opening but stop this take your pick. How many times do you find yourself struggling to lift at the spine, even cracking the box, only to discover that it is one of those that opens from the other side? Just me then. No, I think we've all done that and I think we can all agree that it is a pointless choice, every bit as annoying as Colin Murray, shoe shops or people who say things like "should of" and "damp squid". CD case manufacturers get your heads together, decide on one side or the other and stick to it. Thank you.

I could add further ire about the skin-tight plastic that they insist on wrapping the cases in but that would inspire more anger than my fragile biosystem could cope with in one day so I'll leave it there. Goodnight each.
