Awesome. I smell the blood of a giant ready to be killed!

Erm....i genuinely have no idea how this game works. I thought i'd just play along and watch other people until i got the hang of it, but now it's got to the point where i think some sort of input is expected of me, and I do not have a clue what to do.

Well we were looking at iPad 1 cases, but they were roughly twice the price of the same style 'generic' case. We installed 5.1 when we got it, and wiped the data off it, is that the same as a fresh install? I'm not sure how to do it otherwise. Anyway i don't think my girlfriend will let me fiddle around with the OS now, as she's started working with it anyway. I've never really understood why technology gets slower as it gets older. Is it a percieved slowness because we are used to faster devices? Or is it because they are running more RAM hungry newer programs? Surely from a technological point of view, if you wipe a device (laptop/tablet/phone) completely, it should work at the same speed as when you bought it, no?

Ah i didn't know you could do that with apps! I will try it. We tried the Facebook app, and the website in both Safari and Chrome, and all three had problems loading albums. Assumed it was our internet connection, but then my phone loaded them fine.....it was odd, but i'm sure it was a one-off event. Still, not bad for a free gift! We're looking into getting her a case/cover for it. Seems to me to be a hell of a lot cheaper if you buy a generic 10 inch tablet case than an iPad one, so we'll probably go for one of those.

Well dang. I just had to watch the whole damned thing again just to watch that story unfold.

You mean it uses poison to inject the fish and slowly paralyse it until the cobra can have his way with it?

What is this i don't even.... Happy Birthday!

Did you see Iniesta's goal though? Not many defenses could have prevented that.

Well my main concerns stem from the fact that i'm used to Android. Whenever i'm looking for a menu (to change settings; bring up suggestions etc) my instinct is to go to the menu button on android. Obviously iOS doesn't have this button, which is fine, but every app has their 'menu' button in a different place. Secondly, the 'back' button. Sometimes i've clicked on the wrong thing, or just want to go back to the previous page/app screen, and in order to do so, you have to find the 'back' button, which is usually in the top left, but sometimes in the bottom left etc. Again, it's just because i'm used to Android, but i do think that the menu button in particular is a good idea. Each app can put whatever menu items they want in it, but you always know how to access it whatever screen you're on. I realise that the iPad 1 is almost 2 years old now, but we wiped it clean when we got it and it's still quite slow....does it not work very well with iOS 5.1? Maybe we should have stuck with 3.1.

Am i playing Madpool or not? On the Docs it says i am, but on the official 'press release' it has no mention of it....

Actually i'm not sure the python analogy works in relation to bait....i'm pretty sure you'd catch more fish with a maggot than if you lashed a snake to the end of your rod.

Surely the only people that would be angry about them releasing a newer iPad are the sort of people who need the latest product no matter what - and we shouldn't care about them anyway because they're not real people. In other Apple news (for me) my girlfriend just got given a sceond hand iPad 1 from her parents to help with her work. It looks pretty snazzy, but i was surprised at how slow it is! She was trying to download a photo off her facebook page, but the ipad was taking too long to load it and kept crashing, so in the end it was quicker for me to download it on my phone and email it to her... Also, i am continuously confused about where everything is. I realise it will take me a while to adjust to a new OS, but i maintain that nothing in iOS is where you think it would be, unless you already know it's there.

I'm sure there will be mentions and cameos and such, but mainly sticking to the solo characters. A bit like in Holby City when you used to see Charlie every so often.

I wouldn't have been that surprised if those had been the final scores. What i actually meant, (but failed to mention) was that those scores were only after 20 mins!

Can't tell if being sarcastic or not.... ¬_¬

It was such a clever little rouse too.

Currently: Barcelona 0-1 Celtic Manchester United 0-2 Braga Shakhtar Donetsk 1-0 Chelsea What the fuck is going on?

Also, Smeg.

Just watched Episode 4:

I have never played a Mafia game, is it hard?

I think maybe you're thinking about it too much, it was just a good enjoyable sci-fi film.

This man's maths is good maths. Good for him.

Probably so that it looks different enough so they can sell loads more merchandise.

Me too. (Not 'too' obviously, we can't both win it.)
