Yes, I ‘ve done it, I have finally cancelled my Sky TV, hooray! When looking over the expenditure, I simply cannot believe how much money I have paid for Sky TV in the last couple of years, and for what? It’s crap!
Fact is Sky as with every other business in the UK has got greedy; a price rise was due in September and enough was enough.
Cancelling Sky is not easy
Truth if the matter is if you try and cancel Sky TV be prepared for the excuse of “our phone system is down, can you ring another time?”
“Well no actually I cannot, so can you cancel my subscription now, or shall I just verbally abuse you, question your sexuality, ridicule your job and your parental status?”
You have to wonder how many people actually need Sky TV? I know if people with Sky TV were surveyed, the vast majority would say they can never find anything that want to watch.
The trouble is I wont have any extra money in my pocket as I have got to give all my spare cash to the professional thieves known as British Gas - In one hand and out the other.
Sky have killed sport
Many would disagree with me on this one, but where are tomorrows Cricketers going to come from? Where are tomorrows boxers going to come from? And as for football, that is just a joke now, with nancy boy professional footballers earning obscene amounts of cash from Sky TV’s money.
Supply and demand running out for Sky
I appreciate that it is all supply and demand, but as the harsh reality of increased bills really starts to bite, I can see people cancelling Sky subscriptions in their droves.
Simple economics - Gas bill or Sky TV, I think you can work out which one gets priority.
Seriously, if you have got Sky TV, get rid, it’s a rip-off, get FreeView or FreeSat - give greedy SKY TV a bloody nose, cancel your subscription today and bring their money-grabbing ways to an end!

Hands-up, who wants to kill the board or British Gas?
That will be all of British Gas’s customers then.
A day after British Gas informed customers they were raising gas bills by 35% - the greedy board released details of profits for the first six months of the year of just under £1 billion.
Whilst we are all wondering how we can afford a 35% rise in gas bills, the greedy bastards at British Gas are coining in £5 million in PROFIT every day of the year.
Conservative Government to blame
I am not a fan of sordid Labour, but this greed is not their fault, this is the fault of the CONservatives who privatised British Gas. However it is now up to the Labour scumovent to SORT THIS OUT.
Fact: The power companies should have a profit cap
In fact the power companies should be renationalised and no profit should be made and then perhaps some of the British population would be able to keep themselves warm this winter.
We’ve all got to go Solar and tell the power companies to shove their greedy profit loving ways up their arses. I wonder how many CONservative and Labour MP’s have fingers in power company pies

Yes, it is official the BBC are rip-off merchants, this following the corporation that gives a shit about no one being fined for running further fake phone competitions.
The BBC is a joke and a disgrace; how those are reportedly running the organization are still in jobs beggars belief.
What I don’t understand is how ITV got fined millions and the BBC only got fined a paltry £400,000. It’s one rule for the commercial sector (ITV) and one rule for government organization - The BBC.
I have written a few times on the site the fact the BBC is as bent as Julian Clary, and I tell you what I really begrudge paying the thieving bastards at the BBC any form of license fee.
Why the hell do I want to pay for Jonathan Ross to enjoy a good life at my expense. I suppose you could say the BBC are supporting the minorities with the employment of someone with a severe speech impediment.
I would not watch one of Jonathan Ross’s TV shows or listen to his radio show even if I knew it would cure my paralysis.
Let’s be honest, Jonathan Ross is about as funny as being told that you have cancer.
The fact that so many people who are struggling to make ends meat in these this dire financial time s have to fund his extravagant wage and lifestyle is wrong.
The BBC should salary cap its presenters - if they want to earn more, then parasites like Jonathan Ross can f*ck off to commercial TV.
I want to know other than Ofcom, who is doing anything about the runaway BBC juggernaut? The corporation seems happy to do what the f*ck it likes with our money and without a thought for anyone who gets in its way.
Dodgy Phone Competitions
The fine from Ofcom comes on the back of earlier fines for Children’s TV show Blue Peter. The seedy corporation are even trying to make a buck during their charity events, which is not surprising considering the greedy c*nt that is Terry Wogan was taking appearance money for hosting Children in Need.
Here is the list of shows the BBC got caought out on.
• Comic Relief (BBC One, March 2007) - £45,000
• Sport Relief (BBC One, July 2006) - £45,000
• Children in Need (BBC One Scotland, November 2005) - £35,000
• TMi (BBC Two and CBBC, September 2006) - £50,000
• Liz Kershaw Show (BBC 6 Music, May 2005 to January 2006) - £115,000
• Jo Whiley Show (BBC Radio 1, 20 April to 12 May 2006) - £75,000
• Russell Brand (BBC 6 Music, April 2006) - £17,500
• Clare McDonnell Show (BBC 6 Music, from September 2006) - £17,500
I’m sick of it, but as ever in this shite, toothless country no one will do anything about it, because as usual someone high-up is making money at our expense, and all the time this is happening, our arses will continue to get shafted.

Yes, after all the furore yesterday about the new Google killing search engine, I decided to have a look -
Cuils (What the hell does that mean?) is on first appearance as dark as my mood when I smashed up my old mobile phone. But try a search for MrCrip in the ‘Google Beater’ and all you will find is a list of the sites that I have tried out at various times.
cuil, shite search engine
Fancy not including MrCrip.com - how bloody anti-disabled is that?
Cuil claims to be the biggest search engine in the world - well I dispute that, I know of a few sites that are not listed and that was only a quick check.
So here’s a message to the ex-Google employees who developed Cuil - You’ve got no frikkin chance!
It’s now wonder you are no longer with Google if you are producing shite like this. The Cuil search engine looks like a collection of all the crap ideas which were thrown out by Google at brainstorming meetings.
And whilst you have left sites out of your index you can kiss goodbye to your notion of replacing your former employees from the #1 slot.

I thought I would share with you the state of my Sony Ericsson phone after we decided to part company. I must say the Sony phone did not know that we were going to be parting company, it was a spur of the moment thing.
The worse thing I find about mobile phones is that if I ever have to call MrsCrip and she does not answer I get really pissed off!
Mobile Phone Rage
After all what is the point of having a mobile phone if you never answer the damn thing? It’s frikkin pointless.
So my poor old mobile phone got it after I could not get through to the wench; fact of the matter was I needed to know where something was and being in the dark only put me into a dark mood.
As I tried to call for a second occasion an greeted with her shite voicemail message again I flipped and threw the phone at my chest of drawers.
After the first shot the phone was still in tact - but my rage had taken serious hold, once I saw there was no real impact damage I got to work on it again.
Pick up phone, look for target, take aim -
SMASH - Bingo, the from fascia came spinning off - now I actually felt like I was getting somewhere.
However, my rage was still burning at my woman’s inefficiency to answer her sodding phone - I was far from finished with this phone rage.
Seeing that phone still worked (bar some glue), you would have thought that I would have given up the game and let bygones be bygones, oh no. I wanted revenge on this bastard piece of crap and subsequently I continued to deliver blow after blow onto the innocent phone until it could take no more - yes, like Amy Winehouse, it was f*cked.
Was my rage worth the effort, after all the phone was not insured. Part of the reason for giving the phone a beating which led to its death was I knew the phone was quite ancient anyway and I was due an upgrade from my mobile supplier - which I duly got 24 hours later at no extra cost.
The truth of the story is this:
It was my woman’s fault that I had to smash the phone up, if she had not been so frikkin lazy and answered when I rang, the following pictures would not have been on this site today. Mobile phone range is caused by women and that is a FACT.
