  1. You make it sound like he was pooing from the roof and aiming through windows or something.
  2. I do think it's odd how economics works. People will complain about spending £400+ on a console simply because £200 is sort of the norm, despite the fact that you are getting a computer with components that would cost you maybe £300+ (i'm pulling these numbers from my bum). Yet most will happily spend £500+ on an iPad or tablet (unless it's 7 inches, in which case £200 is suddenly the norm), £800+ on a laptop, £500+ on a phone etc.
  3. I had forgotten i posted in this thread and almost gave my opinion until i saw Fused King's post. Luckily my opinions haven't changed since then, so my vote would still be the same.
  4. @S\.C\.G do you just have a script that posts that for you whenever there is a birthday thread? I have one happy birthday wish to give. Whichever one of you wants it first can have it. Go.
  5. That's pretty impressive. Do you own the room or are you renting?
  6. Izzy sounds like a bitch. Hide a poo in her room.
  7. Methinks Haden should perhaps learn how to spell Shield....or maybe brush up on his phonetic alphabet.
  8. I think it will be about tree-fiddy.
  9. Even better, a compilation:
  10. Are they what you go to school for?
  11. Welcome him all you want, but before he starts optimising my search engines, i want to know if he's a duck or not.
  12. First things first Howard, are you a duck? Secondly, do you work for the Halifax?
  13. Happy Birthday Chaaaaaarrlieeeeeee! *to be said in the tones of an annoying unicorn*
  14. I reckon £429
  15. Surely if Xbone stopped you watching because there were too many people in the room, you would just watch it 'not' through the Xbone?
  16. Ah, ok. I predict there will be a total of 16 chances in the game (7-9) to Odwinica.
  17. I will have 3+4 then! (Why me also?)
  18. OK, DuD, bob and Cube can be an Alliance. Team name pending.
  19. bob is starting an Alliance, with themselves. They will forge ahead of all these other Alliances.
  20. I've just started the Liveship trilogy by Robin Hobb. It's pretty good so far, but there's not much action in it...more chatting rather than doing.
  21. Mwhahahaha! Back to winning ways! Two goals is not enough Dragooooooooo!
  22. So far i've only seen 5 episodes, but i've immensely satisfied with it. It may not be quite as laugh-out-loud funny as previous seasons, but the over-arching story seems a lot more complicated and clever, which i like. Not looked at any spoiler tags yet, but my funniest moments up to now have to be:
  23. Well i'm going to tell you anyway! The globe is actually warming overall (because of all the carbon and whatnot) but the effect of this is not always warmer weather for everyone. The greatest effect that warming the globe has is the melting of the ice caps. As they melt, they release lots of fresh water into the oceans - resulting in the sea levels rising (something you may also have heard of, and why certain low-lying islands are a bit worried). However, putting loads of fresh water into the oceans not only increases the depth of the oceans, it also changes the make-up of the ocean. Because the oceans are salty, adding fresh water to them actually makes them less salty (the amount of salt stays the same, but the water is increased, similar to watering down a glass of squash). You would have thought that slightly less-salty oceans wouldn't be a bad thing, seeing as pretty much everything in the ocean works hard to remove the salt from it and fresher water is a good thing. Nope! Changing the salinity of the water also changes it's density and therefore how warm and cold water react to each other. Now, the reason why Britain has such a mild climate compared to other countries at the same latitude (such as Russia) is because of the Gulf Stream. This is a huge flow of warm water that flows up from the tropics in the Atlantic Ocean and dumps a lot of warmer water around the UK. It also brings with it some of the warmer weather that we are used to and explains why we are used to winters with an average temperature of 0C rather than -20C like Russia does. The changes in salinity and density of the oceans is messing up the flow of the Gulf Stream, breaking it down and giving us shitty weather. This is most probably going to be permanent. It is lame.
