  1. Oxford certainly has some of the oldest sewers in the country. Cambridge sits amid the fens. Nasty places, the fens.
  2. I have it now, and am reading this on it. It is fething IMMENSE. I had no idea it would be this big. Words get lost in it, and begin to gibber insanely. Fullscreen, applications have the gravitas of an Imperial Star Destroyer. Luminosity is not a problem. Sunny day here, blinds up, 80% power, good picture quality.
  3. Still not here. According to ebuyer, 0730 to 1200 hrs means 0730 to 1800 hrs. Silly me.
  4. Am I allowed to use the term 'wanker'? When are these besuited nincompoops going to accept that some things just don't apply to certain sectors. You can't sell men skin cream. You can't sell the majority of women on SciFi. We're nerds anyway. I say we boycott the bastards for hating their core demographic. I mean what kind of selling pitch is THAT?
  5. Sando must be in his maudlin phase.
  6. Having holdover Roman Governors running the show would be quite cool. It might explain why Boudica's revolt burned London (Londinium) to the ground. Note that Colchester was the official capital of Roman Britain (he says reading the wiki entry). The otherwise nonsensical Roman invasion of Britain may have been explicable by a desire to pre-emptively strike at the werewolf population on these isles. The notion of having outlying subfiefs pleases me. Brighton has been a sinpit since the time of the Prince Regent. Beneath its white icing Victorian facades are all kinds of freaks, misfits, and drug addicts. I was once so pleased to meet a simple drunk homeless guy in Brighton that I gave him a fiver. Bristol, on the far side of the country, is a port town, and I don't really know what you would want to put in there. Wiltshire and Gloucestershire/Oxfordshire are a warren of bunkers and shadowy government installations, set amid the rolling green fields. Further north you have the large cities of Manchester and Liverpool, but they are not as venerable as Newcastle and York. york in particular had a viking settlement.
  7. Hahah! I rock officially! Assuming the thing works. It's still not here.
  8. If Ms Richardson had died in a flood in Bangladesh...?
  9. I'm learning to sing, have started working out again, and am eating better.
  10. I'm with Hurlshot on this. Granted it's not someone you know. But it's still sad. In it's way. It's emblematic. like when Bambi's mother gets shot. Except that just made me hungry.
  11. No dice, shaving boy! You can't just walk away! Come on. Reactions, insights, damn your eyes!
  12. Those quotes make Games Workshop quotes look good.
  13. Simple. Begin your day with doughnuts. At lunchtime have a cheese and meat based sandwich. With a pint of guinness. For dinner eat plenty of pasta, with red wine, then go to the pub for a pint or two of ale. Finish the night with some cookies, and a whisky. Granted, you may not find teh above adds weight. It will, however, infallibly make you happy.
  14. I would think so. Do you have the game? If not, do you want the other guest pass? That's dashed decent of you, but I can afford the five bucks. It seems harsh not to pay when I can.
  15. You, sir, are deranged.
  16. Regarding my (recent) ex she was well overweight ( by about 20 lbs), and had been chided as such by previous boyfriends who'd tried to harass her into vicious diets. I simply told her I loved her however she was, and she shrank by about 15 lbs without any effort at all. Bloody weird. *thinks* I guess she'll get all fat again now. Hah hah.
  17. I just worked it out using Google. 1.68m, 83 kgs Short, and powerfully built. Like an attack hamster with a beer gut.
  18. I get really cranky if I have to consider something for too long. KILL IT! KILL IT NOW!
  19. From Wikipedia. Now if that isn't women, I don't know what is.
  20. Eating well is a big part of it. I get boxes of fruit and veg delivered. The contents vary unpredictably, but I like the element of surprise. It makes eating fresh salad acheivable on a daily basis. But sleep is key also, I think.
  21. I've just ordered the Dell Ultrasharp Mainly because I get really weird if I'm forced to shop for too long. But also because 1. consistently high review scores 2. 400cd/m2 is higher, while the BenQ is supposed to look weird at high power. 3. The screen will last 3 years, at around 8+ hours a day. a few hundred scrimped makes no sense.
  22. Very good, gentlemen. Economy wins out. EDIT: No it doesn't. I just checekd. My current monior is 300 cd. Which is already established as being too poor.
  23. I hate public transport when it doesn't work, and love it when it does. Mainly I walk everywhere. the only downside to that is I rip through shoes, pants, and trousers very quickly. Most shoes last about six months. My leg-garments run out after about a month of use. It's crazy.
  24. That's good as far as it goes, Ros. But you miss a vital step. You can change as much as you like, you can arm yourself with a multiplicity of situation solutions, from chocolate to handcufs... and for 99% of women it'll just make them annoyed. What women want changes the instant it is observed ...like quantum! We may be onto something! Does anyone here understand quantum physics?
  25. Something to keep in mind for your meeting places. There are abandoned tube stations all over London, along with telecoms bunkers and secret government installations. Then there's the covered over rivers like the Fleet.
