    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...

    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..

    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.

    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..

    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.

    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.

    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..

    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..

    When I started doing some of the high level flashpoints with my Sith Inquisitor, we had a crappy tank and the rest of the group ended up talking me into tanking when they kicked him out. So even though I was spec'd for DPS and geared that way, I was tanking through several fp's and able to handle it fairly well. A couple of people had to leave, so ended up with some fresh random's coming into it and were doing the Illum flashpoints. At which point my basic tanking skills really stopped working, and the healer had absolutely no idea what he was doing, so we had a couple of party wipes. I actually said about what had happened and why I was tanking, I offered to quit out so they could get an actual tank but they wanted to try again so I went along with it. Then several minutes in, one of the guys stopped and was all "Hell, all your gear is Crit and Accuracy!" and then they kicked me out without any warning or words beyond that.

    Hm, don't think so. Although all I really know is it's a public company and the CEO is still one of the co-founders. And Google talked about acquiring them some months back. But it's something like £5.99 for a month for it, and I think it's pretty much the only way you can watch all of Breaking Bad in the UK unless you get all the dvd's. Or download it via other sources.

    In the UK, probably Netflix.

    "Crazy girls. Crazy girls are the best. They're wild as hell to hang out with. The sex is incredible. You never know what's going to happen. The problem is, there's no real good way of ending it with girls like that. I've changed jobs and moved. Faked my death. And they're there. At the funeral. They aren't even subtle about it. They show up and they're dressed like whores. God I love crazy girls."

    Ah, so you're saying you've gotten into the kidnap , rape and torture combo for the sheer sake of it because it's associated with everyone?

    Especially when he found out Walt was Heisenberg. It wasn't that he was a criminal, it was more that he'd hurt Hank's pride over being right there under his nose. Hell, Walt literally told him he was moving quarter of a million in cash at one point and Hank just thought it was a joke and ignored it. I don't know about you, but I could get the sense that Hank wouldn't have been that bothered by it if it wasn't for that hurt pride and the way it would look - the DEA agent who didn't know his own brother-in-law was a criminal mastermind.

    I have to say, the wives were pretty damn annoying and whiney and generally hypocritical messes throughout the series.

    Hm, have to stop eating and drinking in a couple of hours to fast for my doctor's appointment manana. That's not so much a problem in general, but I am not looking forward to starting the day without a cup of tea.. It's just not civilised.

    I keep doing bits and pieces at the moment rather then focusing. I've got a Sage at 46 who's about 1/3 of the way through Belsavis. My Smuggler and Inquisitor are both at 54, I've got my Trooper hovering at 19 and an Imperial Agent at 20. The rest I've left at 50 having completed their class stuff. I've been playing the game since it first came out and I still haven't actually done any of the operations. I should probably get around to trying the queue for one at some point....

    How about for general sanity we skip that gif and stop reposting it, and start putting in other pictures again?

    Hey, I like a lot of Bioware stuff, and I think when you get down to it most of the other forumites enjoy Bioware games to a point. They just happen to be more vocal about talking about the perceived flaws, and taking the piss out of the pre-ponderance of BW style romancing rather then discussing other aspects...

    For the "Then and Now" approach..

    Got back from the birthday bbq somewhat drunk. A random conversation ended up with the birthday boy blowing a pipe full of icing sugar across the bonfire to cause mini fire-bursts. He's a chemistry PhD and Researcher. Various wives / girlfriend / female cousins of the family were present and while they enjoyed the fire bursts were a bit disappointed in the effort it took to get it right. I gave him a good bottle of 10 year old tawny port, which we ended up drinking as we smoked cigars around the fire afterwards. Then he gave me a good bottle of Azul tequila as a present after some good natured threatening of me after I hugged his wife - he'd just been attending a chemistry conference in Mexico. I realised how long it's been since I last tango'd a pretty lady, and his wife poked me and asked why I didn't impress any of her friends and family at the wedding some months back with it. To which I replied salsa music is not a good intro to a tango, and holiday romances with the family of your best friends bride generally isn't a good idea.

    Having a bout of flatness and lack of focus. Hm, also got that fasting blood test and ecg at the start of the week. That'll be fun. But mostly trying to psych myself up to go to a friends birthday bbq tonight. Although I have managed to pick up a card and a bottle of good tawny port to take along. But the autumn seems to have flashed back into grimly grey weather today which isn't helping.
