  1. I'm pleased to report that for a good five seconds there I was totally confused, as I saw no gun.
  2. Or, and you know what I'm going to say, the old rifles were massively over-engineered. After all, what was the point of building a rifle to last 100 years when it became militarily obsolete within 20?
  3. How is a fear of deadly weapons a pathology?
  4. I don't feel that's letting the side down. To quote Coupling:
  5. Well, I'm moist. I don't know about you chaps.
  6. Something a friend of mine once told me: if you must drink in London drink in the Ritz. It's not cheap, but it is worth the money. My friend basically is like the girl in this old poster. She knows how to choose drinking spots.
  7. I imagine it would be like being lovingly pelted with bowling balls.
  8. High intensity training is the best I've ever done. At least in terms of burning you out fast, and making you feel fitter.
  9. I quite like diet coke, but only because it reminds me of visiting eldsters. They always seem to have some in the fridge.
  10. OK, well Humanoid has convinced me so far. But let's stress test my requirement. Suppose I went with a radically different solution. A Google Nexus 7. How would that fail my specs? It's going to win on weight, and I can do multimedia... I'm not just being perverse. It's really interesting to me to see how the discussion has gone so far. I'd like to push it further.
  11. What he said. Ford transit in absentia.
  12. If you were in a dark room and heard a sort of breathy exhalation, and then the sound of satin falling. Surely that would be the sound of nakedness.
  13. Are you saying that the sun is f***ing SHOOTING at us?
  14. Speak for yourself, mate. My life is full of truths told by wise woodland animals. And that odd looking fellah who keeps messing with my milk deliveries.
  15. That'll be why you urinate sticklebricks.
  16. I think you're being unfair to creators there. The problem is creations oriented on a mass market. They inevitably fail to achieve depth. For the simple reason that resonating with a fool's worldview and resonating with a wise person's worldview are totally different jobs.
  17. For some reason I've been in a Laurie Holden mood all day.
  18. Worst starwars themed media since that advert with Yoda in it.
  19. Pitch Black. OK so it took me a long time to get round to. Having seen the second in the series before I was surprised to find Riddick such an interesting character. WTF, Hollywood!? Intent: 8/10 delivery: 9/10
  20. Balvenie 17 year portwood. Gave some to a friend yesterday and being a good friend he opened it immediately. Beautiful, strong, soft, dessert flavours of spice and toffee and apple. But not girly. A really good choice if you want to impress, and can afford the tag.
  21. Croatians experimenting by helping kids with autism by providing robot friends. http://www.rferl.org/content/croatia-autism-robots-diagnosis/25243196.html I thought it was quite cute.
  22. everyone got his IP? First one to grab something secret gets a muffin.
  23. That's cool. A random ship just out there, floating around. Couldn't it be towed to the Horn of Africa. Or just, you know, exploded? We were all thinking it!
  24. The package I'm using insists that I can't write 3.2.1 I have to write '3.2.1, or it turns it into 3rd Feb 2001. Seriously. And this is not an option you can turn off. "Who could possibly hate that what they are seeing isn't what they type?" Chortles the red faced code-monkey.
