Not sad as such, but maybe a bit funny.
Downloaded the Daft Punk movie - "Electroma".
No sound. Thought it was a dodgy encoding. So downloaded it again a second time via another torrent.
Still no sound. WTF.
Downloaded it a third time, with a totally different torrent again.
Still no sound.
So I eventually googled it.
It's actually a silent movie! 
Truly impressive, I thought twas only I who did things that daft.
Hope to fuck you didn't have to phone any of my cow-orkers about your passport, most of the daytime staff are either miserable to the point of psychosis, or clinically retarded (though mainly the Bristol centre suffer this, all 3 places have some true genetic throwbacks).
Always ring from 11pm-7am, hell you might even get little old me :D (I actually try to help people, even when I'm not meant to, same goes for about half the nighttimers).
Mind you, lost passort=7 bloody days, and appointments in London are like rocking horse shite just now. Have heard that they're doing Lost/Stolen replacements for the new biometric passports on the 4 hour service, but of course we're not actually allowed to TELL anyone that.....tosspots are more worried about all sorts of shite before actually helping the customer....however my job title definitely says "Customer service" not "pathetic company service".
Quick example of the attitude that holds sway.......there's gonna be a 3 day strike in some of the passport offices....and because IPS have not actually given us a statement to read....we've been told to deny all knowledge of it
So that makes us look like spastics, and leaves the poor cunt on the phone none the wiser.
