Being oldskool I want to grab a five second clip from Blackadder for use in a presentation. HOW? Tell me how, oh wise forum baboons!

Like I say, I'm still a fat man. I'm just a very fast fat man. This subject always reminds me of the Comic Book Guy in the Simpsons. He's at a convention and he locks eyes with a cute girl. CBG: Tell me: how do you feel about 30 year old virgins who still live with their parents? CG: Comb the pop-tarts out of your beard and you've got a deal! CBG: Don't try and change me, baby. If anything predicts my romantic future is my totally uncompromising cussedness about doing stuff under pressure from others. I fething hate it.

You're aiming for 8.5 miles in 1.5 hrs? That's what the regulars do as the combat fitness test (with 15kgs of kit). It's a tough target, but you're young and it's good to set your sights high. If you're doing that sort of thing for fun I'd seriously suggest you consider the Forces, mate!

It was. I cooked the steak with teriyaki sauce. I now have fresh coffee. It's almost worth having a hangover for food like this.

I sympathise. I have a hangover too. Just kicking in. luckily I managed to drag out to the shops first. I'm about 5 minutes away from a massive fry-up with steak, bacon, eggs, and hash browns.

I agree. Those were the days. It even used to apply to space sims.

Terribly hungover today. Was out last night celebrating the fact that I did my timed run (2.4 km) in 9 minutes. I am still fat, but man do I move fast for a fat man! I've also pipped my targets for situps and pressups. How's everyone else coming on? Sando?

ka-zing!

When I call him good I am reliant upon the words of Archbishop Desmond Tutu. But that doesn't mean he's always right.

Maybe I should bleach out the tips?

Oh joy. More reasons to distrust wireless routers. I only ever use hardwiring.

If you chaps think it's worthwhile I guess I'll have to buy it.

If everything else fails show her your nipples. Nipples have the power to overcome any obstacle! Also, you get bonus points if you have the Laser Nipples upgrade. I dunno... *regards nipples dubiously* my nipples are a bit hairy.

So we should fine parents if their kids gets their fingers on an 18+ game? Also my perhaps biggest problem with the government getting involved in this is that I still haven't seen a reasonable amount of studies showing that kids are damaged by violent video games, it seems to be simply a widely supported assumption. Very good point. But since when as any public policy guided by scientific study? At least wherever Joe Public can poke a nose in. What I'm arguing for is making existing systems more comprehensive. A parrallel would be our local council. Instead of raising council tax they worked out 10% of people weren't paying. They made those 10% pay and tax stayed the same. I'm saying we simply make the people with best oversight accountable for enforcing the existing system. I suppose I'm also saying that maybe we shoud wipe away a lot of this b*****cks about pre-empting things and focus more on the bastards who actually do anything wrong. i.e. if people actually ARE vilent we deal with them more effectively, rather than hysterically rushing about trying to avoid any possible way they might become violent.

Parental accountability would sort a lot of these problems, IMO. You leave your kid running loose around town like a jackal, and they break a window you get hauled out of bed to apologise and get fined.

Two words: Hitler Moustache.

No magazine deat affected me like Roleplayer Independent. They had the best adventure ad-ons and campaign ideas.

It seems to happen a lot in India. I remember one guy who is now an adult with a tail. They treat him as an avatar of Hanuman. Still can't get a date of course. But I agree. It beats the hell out of burning the poor kid as a demon or something.

I'm currently failing spectacularly to woo a friend of a friend who I got recently set up with. She's a gorgeous and very sassy gal who sings and dances professionally. I absolutely love any woman who can sing. When they're a pole-dancer as well, and can discuss Proust or quantum physics then we have a winner!

[buzz lightyear] You're mocking me, aren't you? [/buzz lightyear]

I'm ashamed to say that one of my best days of work ever happened after being up all night drinking. I had to pretend I was sick. By brute force of will I held it together and I think as a byproduct my output was very hard nosed and coldly analytical.

We didn't think we were drunk last night until I pointed out we were in the middle of singing Danny Boy in the street, following a one hour discussion about the correct shape for young ladies.

I'm glad I read the backposts before posting. This just about covers my view.
