  1. I guess half of Great Britain did with Iron Lady's death. Most of those celebrating her death weren't even born when she was in power. That was just.. kind of bizarre.
  2. For sometimes when you're in an odd mood.. nothing picks you up quite like the utter trashy eurorock dance on acid that is E-Type.. http://youtu.be/Iw6QUdDwa54
  3. Well this is one I'm planning on picking up next week, but it's interesting to see a layout for just how much Whedon likes to use that stable of friends for so much...
  4. The mind boggles over Bad Dragon as well. Oy vey.
  5. To return to Cote De Pablo.. you have to have the music and song.. http://youtu.be/zX0gDdZFiJ4 Although to be fair.. Jennifer Connelly http://youtu.be/WgHqbJr3NFI
  6. Garg. Tech support to family is not a fun thing. Especially when it's disabled mothers who are cranky and in pain and suddenly realised x isn't working and when you try to explain things that you've explained every other week for the last x months rather then listening and learning, insists on basically doing the "I'm old and don't know computers" pout. Damn it, she oversaw switching over computer systems on cruise ships in the 80's. Why the hell she can no longer learn what it means to right click on icons, and not loading the desktop up with 30 billion crappy 2kb games, and all the rest of it.... Then her dvd player on her laptop isn't recognising disks, and she finally notes that the old multiregion dvd player for the tv went away when it got replaced by a Blu-ray player last year and she's been buying shows on Region 1 dvds to watch and is annoyed she can't watch them now and.. Yeah. It goes on like that. I feel like I'm about to run up the wall and eat shoes.
  7. Hm, and from the Eidos Montreal blog posted by David Anfossi
  8. "Yeah, we're going to have to kill the fish tank..." Edit: Oh and for the random interest, Executive Produces Whedon and Tancharoen gave a walk through about each character to TV Guide TVGuide - Meet the Agents of Shield
  9. Hm, in comparison I have my "everyday walking" shoes - which are actually caterpillar hiking boots. A pair of formal black shoes. A pair of classic white/black two-tone leather shoes. Plain black trainers that are seriously getting worn... And a pair of snakeskin cowboy boots...
  10. Not sure if the lethargic feeling through most of the day was caused by not being able to start the day off with a cup of tea as normal, the blood they took, or the three hours sleep I had. Probably a combination of all three... Still, tis heading towards night and I am ritually crumbling a Cadbury's flake into slowly boiling milk.
  11. Heh. For something I threw on here for the random amusement, I was not expecting it to run to 3 pages and a few hundred views...
  12. Mmh, apart from whole "only jewelry a man should wear" aspect, it's basically the only way to know the time while in court. Heh, I managed to get through my last few years of secondary school wearing a waistcoat and pocket watch without getting into any fights..
  13. Did you not note the "I'm both curious and amused at what people think should be added to this list or removed from it." aspect to my post? It's kind of like the list someone's put together based on half a dozen of the last few years "charming, persuasive, leading men on tv" from things like the Mentalist, White Collar, and the rest of the like.
  14. Hm, doesn't Netflix do a free month where you can trial it? So you could do that, watch all of Breaking Bad that's there, then cancel it once the month is done? The Kevin Spacey version of House of Cards is on Netflix if you haven't caught that yet..
  15. The one I like about this.. is that all of the "how they did this" is explained by Morgan Freeman's character, but that's only how he thinks they did it. Apart from the very first trick he walks through, they never actually say how close he got to how they pulled off the various magic tricks. Which is how I don't worry so much over that silly big ass mirror / safe trick.
  16. For those who might be interested and hadn't noted this yet.. Smaug speaks.. http://youtu.be/OPVWy1tFXuc
  17. The statistics are quite low for North American's to have passports. I think it's around 30-35% of the population have valid passports. Although if I remember the statistics, that doesn't count foreign-born American's who have moved into the country. That and it usually comes down to around only 13 million American's travel abroad - as in, serious travel as opposed to just a quick jaunt across the border to Mexico or Canada - each year. It's something like 30 million trips abroad per year, but most of those are by the same people, such as regular business travel. Edit: And for the quirky trivia - Apparently of the 18 states with the highest number of passports, 17 of them voted Obama at the last election. The one that didn't.. was Alaska. And the 11 states with the lowest number of passports issued all voted Romney.
  18. My parents had me wearing full formal dinner jackets and bowties and the like from when I was 8. I grew up with that whenever we went on a cruise ship , so dealing with that has never felt like a chore to me.. And wearing a nice suit can certainly make you feel sharp. But I wouldn't wear one every day..
  19. Heh, so I saw this and thought I'd throw it over here buzzfeed - Things every self-respecting man over 30 should own, with the varied crowd of folk here I'm both curious and amused at what people think should be added to this list or removed from it. Let alone how many of us have items from this list..
