  1. I watched far too much of that, but as far as I could see the the first time he even made a mistake was around the 1:40 mark. Ridiculous.
  2. Why can't i stop watching it!? I had so many things i had to do today! Two hours!
  3. Continuing my week of 'watch lots and lots of films i missed the first time round', I watched The Hurt Locker. It was pretty good, but nothing amazing. I don't really like films that don't have a definite story; they always seem to end really abruptly and leave me feeling a bit cheated. The first half was way better than the second, lots of cool tense bits, but then it started to go downhill when you realised it wasn't going anywhere. Also, i'm so happy! I found a Jackie Chan film on Lovefilm that i hadn't seen before; Twin Dragons. I f***ing love Jackie Chan films.
  4. I went over to a friend's to have pancakes, and had possibly the most disappointing pancakes ever in the history of fried floury goods. Yes, those are TINNED strawberries. From China no less. John West tinned strawberries. Who knew?
  5. It seems to me that this 'mollytristan' may have in fact already won the Texas lottery, and is so utterly befuddled by the event, that it has caused them to ask a European Nintendo forum what to do with the winnings.

    Posture

    I used to have pretty bad posture, which i think came from sitting 8 hours a day at a desk or similar. Then i switched to a standing desk in my lab, and my posture has become noticibly better.
  7. Moving on to my next couple of 'films i haven't had the chance to watch while my gf was around'. I watched The Bank Job, with Jason Statham. I was expecting the Transporter, but in 1970's Laaandaaan, and was pleasantly surprised to find that it was only a little bit 1970's Transporter. Pretty good film. Then i watched Green Lantern, thinking it can't possibly be as bad as everyone says it is, and was surprised again to find they were right! I don't know how such a big budget film ends up getting made with such little......excitement. The plot just fizzles out into nothing! Pretty much 80% of the characters were introduced and then barely used at all. They kept going on and on about how super powerful this baddie was,
  8. This is probably what you meant yes?
  9. Tottenham have had a mini-blip of their own it seems.
  10. I've been wanting to watch Real Steel since it came out at the cinema, but my gf wouldn't watch it with me. Finally got to watch it yesterday (since my gf is in Japan) and it was awesome! A bit cheesey, and the kid is like, well annoying, but really enjoyable overall. Finished the film actually quite disappointed that robot boxing didn't exist and that i couldn't go and watch a match.
  11. I think this adequately describes how i feel about coffee. EDIT: Skip to 2.20 for the bit about coffee.
  12. By definition GPS can't tell you your instantaneous speed whatever happens. Depending on how many times the GPS updates your location per minute will determine the resolution of the velocity data. For example if it updates once every 3 seconds, and in those three seconds you go from 60kph to 80, and then back to 60kph, it will assume you went some velocity in between. I'm not sure the frequency of phone's GPS acquisition though.
  13. Speaking of Pixar, did you like the animated short beforehand? (Assuming you saw the animated short beforehand) I thought it was brill. I could have sat through an entire 2 hour film of them just reading through and introducing hilarious rejected happy meal toys. My personal favourite was the spooky hamburger.
  14. I was told once (no idea if this is true) that if Starbucks sell one cup of tea, then every cup of tea they sell after that is profit, since that first cup of tea pays for all the tea bags used in a day after that. Therefore, you should order a tea, and then when they give it to you, you should say: "Y'welcome." and walk stiffly away.
  15. This one's a bit mean. And a bit homophobic, so apologies for that, but it did make me laugh like a little girl.
  16. Agreed! The cameos were one of the best bits about it i thought!
  17. "My goodness me, there's a normal one hiding at the back there! Wot wot!"
  18. I had no idea that was even possible.... back in my day etc etc.
  19. Well that's going to give me nightmares.
  20. I think that wedding photographers are a bit of a relic from when cameras used to be really expensive and difficult to operate. People nowadays just want pictures to remind them of what their wedding was like, and then maybe a nice one of the bride and groom. Seeing as everyone at the wedding will have a digital camera to take pictures of most of the goings-on, all they need is someone who can work a camera to enough of a degree to take the official bride/groom photo. I'm not saying that photography is easy and anyone can do it, mind you. I just think that if you are trying to keep costs down, it's not that hard to do it yourself and have a slightly crappier outcome which still ticks all the boxes.
  21. Yes. This guy remembers the hats. Emily Blunt, that's it! I thought the film was alright once you got past the ridiculousness of the plot. The ending though was terrible. I think they must have run out of money to pay the script writers ten minutes from the end and had to get a passing feral pigeon to complete it.
