I don't mind 'Spec me' threads so much as all the 'funny' alternative names for the threads, such as 'Eyeglass me...', 'Telescope me...' etc :mad:

maybe i could have looked bit harder for the club card one but i dont see how any of them relate to spec me threads which is what the ops gripe is about.

i see nothing wrong with it for some stuff as you can get an idea of how good a camera is or good ideas where to go on holiday, some others are just pathetic however.

Howzit all,

is it just me who really hate thread titles starting with, "Spec me..a". Seems to be a common thing around here lately and it drives me nuts!

Think it is just me though.

/Rant over..

Yeah I just hate it when people ask for help on forums!

Why don't you start a thread with the title, 'Spec me a valid gripe'?

not as annoying as 'posting in epic thread' or whatever

What i find annoying is that for every "spec me" thread we get 6 "zomg I hate spec me threads".

I don't like it when people complain about the threads complaining about too many spec me threads

Tell you what I'll give you a great bit of advice.

IF YOU SEE A THREAD WITH 'SPEC ME' IN THE TITLE DON'T BLOODY CLICK ON IT.

Want a cookie?

Do you feel better now?

Darn, thought this was a spec me thread.

Get over yourself. It's just local slang. Obviously on a forum for a PC hardware shop you're going to get "Spec me a PC for £300 that'll run Crysis 2" and then it just spreads from there into other questions.

It's just part of the culture here.

The worst one I've seen is some imbecile asking people to spec him a godamned teapot. A teapot. Are you ******* serious? GTFO! :mad:

Participant · 4 Oct 2010 at 20:51

Any true Englishman knows the importance of a good teapot.

And also knows that you find the ****ing things in shops, not PC forums.

The first part of your statement is valid. However I am referring to people who ask to spec a teapot or a towel or something, stupid like that.

By the way, I am over myself. Would you like a cookie too, to make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside, Mr. Vonhelmet?
