“Fight Against Stupidity And Bureaucracy”
.
My blog friend Frank over at A Frank Angle came up with the idea of doing a post based on an alphabetical listing of a selection of his previous posts. An interesting idea and a good way to introduce more recent readers to some of the things they might otherwise have missed.
Of course, Frank couldn’t leave it at that, so he threw out a challenge for others to try to do the same for their blogs. And guess who couldn’t resist the challenge!
So here you are, for new and long term readers of this blog, a alphabetical journey through some of the files of Fasab!
Enjoy.

Awkward Moments, (Part One, Part Two and Part Three), a short series of amusing anecdotes of times when things didn’t go quite right.

And also for factoids about Chocolate and Coffee which people seemed to enjoy

And for Dear Abbey, no blog like this would be complete without a few letters from Joe Public seeking advice for some of their most disturbing problems.

.
V is for….
Versatile Blogger Award. Actually that should be ‘awards’ the first nomination from Alex way back when this blog was barely two months old, and subsequently from Sunny and Wendy. The Fasab blog has also been nominated for the Illuminating Blogger Award (Kenton), Sunshine Award (Wendy again) and the Kreative Blogger Award (Nabdip). My sincere thanks to everyone who though this blog worthy of nomination and I will get round to doing a proper awards page I promise.
.
W is for….
Word Play. Yes, you were right, just in the wrong place. I like puns and they feature almost every week somewhere in my blog. So like them, or hate them, or like to hate them, or even hate to like them, you’re sure to find some here.

It’s Thursday And That Means Another Excuse For A Few More Bad Jokes
.
X is for….
X-rated, a steamy tension filled post about My Morning In Bed With Derek. Read it if you dare!
.
Y is for….
Your Country Needs You, a story about a friend’s unusual introduction to the military world.

.
Z is for….
Zero, there are no ‘Z’ posts on this blog, unless the ones that put you to sleep reading them!
I suppose I could have used some of the quiz or puzzle posts, but that’s a bit of a cop out.
I hope this means that Fasab has yet to reach its zenith.
.
.
So that’s it, the Fasab A – Z. Feel free to click any or all of the links that take your fancy, and, as always, enjoy!
.
Frank has asked me to remind everyone that no nominations are required to take part in the A2Z challenge, so why not have a go. It’s a bit of work, but fun too, and it gives you the excuse to look over some of your old posts.
The details are on Frank’s blog. To go there, click here!

“Fight Against Stupidity And Bureaucracy”

Another short selection of some of the silliest classified ads ever made.
How the people who constructed these didn’t see anything wrong with them I just don’t know. They obviously were reading what was in their head, not what was written down in front of them.
Still, it wasn’t a total waste of time. It’s given us something to smile about.
Enjoy.
PS: John, if you are reading this, there’s one of these suspiciously like the photo you use 🙂

Hurrah!
They’ve come of age.
This is the twenty-first edition of the worst classified ads in the world, or at least that small bit of the world that I come into contact with. If you have as good or as bad as these please feel free to send them over.
Enjoy.

My goodness! What started off at a quick amusing look at classified ads that went horribly wrong, has turned into a major series on the fasab blog. And it seems to be quite popular too. Thanks to everyone who calls in to read these.
And why shouldn’t they be popular? They show the raw stupidity of people. Don’t forget that usually a lot of time and effort is spent “perfecting” these horrors before they are sent for publication.
Here’s some more.
Enjoy!

Welcome to the latest batch of classified ads that failed the one simple test that all advertisements should pass
– did it say what it was supposed to say?
These didn’t.

Here we go with another bunch of classified ads.
They looked perfect, but not to most people.

“Fight Against Stupidity And Bureaucracy”
.
Welcome to another edition of the classified ads. Those advertisements that didn’t quite turn out as planned in the minds of those who devised them.
The first one reminded me of a small take-away Chinese establishment in a town near where I used to live. A friend and I stopped off there on the way home from work one evening, both of us hungry but not wanting to waste the time going for a sit-down meal.
We ordered our food and all went well. The take-away had an excellent reputation for producing good food and it was always very busy.
Sure enough after about ten minutes or so our ticket was called and I went up to the counter to collect.
It wasn’t the usual girl on duty that evening, but a small rather elderly Chinese lady.
Had it been the usual girl she would have known to pack some utensils, like a plastic fork, in the bag, but instead the little Chinese lady looked up into my face and asked in a heavily accented but loud voice for all to hear,
“D’ya wanna fok?”
There was momentary silence, no one quite knowing what they thought they had heard. Then my mouth got in the way of good sense and I said, “No thanks, I’m just in to get something to eat.”
Then everyone laughed and I made my way out of the place before any further conversation or explanation.
As it turns out the joke was on me in the end because I left without getting a ‘fok’ so the meal had to wait until I got home.
So that by way of anecdotal introduction leads us nicely to today’s classifieds.
Enjoy!
