Walsingham

If it's possible to derive some real value from this thread, is anyone up for extracting/analysing the predominant themes in the viewpoints made so far?

I loved that! May have to learn it.

Since you like the Carolina Chocolate Drops, I thought you might forgive my reposting a song I linked to a few years ago. EDIT: I know it's weird, but I think Eliza Carthy is hot in this video.

I'm going to come in from another angle: Is the problem really boobs? Surely it would be far more pertinent to observe that in almost every mainstream game I can think of women are PRECISELY equal to men in terms of game stats. That's a pretty positive thing, I'd have thought. The problem I'd highlight is how many games have really ****ty female NPCs.

Obscure outburst of the day: "Don't piss in my ear and call it soup!" (directed at BBC documentary on D-Day that turned out to be about the Dieppe landings)

You should try bollito misto. Basically mixed boiled meats, served with a variety of chutneys and sauces alongside its own broth. Many places serve with pickles not unlike giardiniera.

Three oatcakes and unsweetened coffe for breakfast. A banana and pear for lunch. I'm beginning to wonder if dieting isn't just having a poorly stocked fridge.

Man, Saudi is messed up.

God created Australia to test the faithful. One cannot go against the Word of God.

And this is why I won't live in Australia. Invite some UFO watchers to your place and scam them in some fashion while they are boggling at the lights. At least you get a win out of it.

Focus please, Bruce. I want you to bring in some of that good sangoma medicine. I should think Putin would need a more forthright possibly threatening angle to get him fired up.

If one ever needs help in that area, there's a new underarm-cream drug for that! Modern world marvels ... testosterone boost in a jar! Just don't let your wife mistake it for her nightly face cream. I presume it makes her grow a moustache?

I am feeling it now. That's some love. Enoch? I reckon you could lay some mellow jazz on this mission.

As some of you will already know, Vladimir Putin has announced he is going to get divorced. I think that out of a spirit of forumal fraternity we should mobilise immediately. I firmly believe that with our combined writing talent we can compose a love letter from obyknven to Vlad that willl be so jaw-droppingly fantastic that he'll have no option but to immediately elope with her to Archangel. In your own time, gentlemen... engage.

Are you sure it's not just the news affecting you?

I honestly thought that was a nude midget. I'm not seeing it. Could you explain how with a full diagram? Assume M for mammaries, then put your testosterone up a notch.

I refuse to believe any CA game is going to live up to its hype. Ever since I realised that the AI in Empire was WORSE than that in Medeival. How the **** is that even possible?

I actually yelled "Coming up on your right" at some old ladies when I was out doing phys the other day. Took me ages to remember where I'd got it. I never planned to spend so much time on it, but the game I just keep coming back to is Fallout New Vegas. It just ...flows... superbly as an escapist experience. Different guns, different paths, different decisions. Between my various lodgers (I insist on educating people who live with me) and myself we're clocking upwards of 1000 hrs on it.

I find a bloke posing as a female pro-Putin feminist creepier than I can possibly express. EDIT: It's like being a transvestite, but without the physical courage.

Also, Good Covers Happen to Bad Songs. (which I should make into a band, if Ros doesn't know anyone who'd like to nab it)

Fair point. Try... NSFW, if you care.

I honestly thought that was a nude midget.

Better. Reminds me of the Real Tuesday Weld.

Yeah it's crazy, I chipped one of my teeth a few years back, half of it broke off and just to build it in plastic was like 220€. It took 2 people about 15 minutes.. That's a pretty good hour salary. *Stares at Nepenthe like a crazy man*

You're an Englishman. You should get drunk and forget anything happened. Ever.
