originated from ' ye gads'   iirc.   I thought it meant  ' You Gods'

 

  

Short for 'gadzooks!'? An English version of 'jings!'

Probably true as well, think Gad Sakes from God Sakes? Could the path to the Gallows be Gods path, Gads path? Fuck knows but Gads is excellent Aberdonian

It's more to do with the fact that the shit Aldi beer he is drinking is trying to make on it is something that it isn't. 

 

It's false advertising almost, certainly very creative marketing. 

 

Pisses me off things pretending to be what they aren't in order to fool the masses. 

 

Would never be against people drinking tennents etc, knows what it is and is a decent version of that.

Apple charging a grand for a monitor stand.

 

I wouldn't even have an Apple product in the house, but this still annoys the fuck out of me.

 

Is that strictly what's happening though? I did see this, and see the justification for it as part of the package?

 

Can't remember the full story, I'll pull it up shortly.

But but but but it's an APPLE stand. Will have apple nerds reaching into their rapidly decreasing savings in order to take selfies of themselves standing in line at an apple store bragging about buying one.

That is strictly what's happening, yes. 

 

The monitor is 5 grand, and if you don't want to have to lean it against a wall or a box then the stand is another $999. 

 

But it's designed by Jony Ive, so that probably accounts for $900 of the cost per unit. 

 

When I buy a $50 monitor I expect the fucking thing to come with a stand, never mind a monitor that costs five grand.
