The fish

Dude, look up win, epic and sweet-jesus-that-was-awesome... :wink:

http://www.picsthatdontsuck.com is my new favourite time-killing/distraction website.

Did you solve the maze?

This isn't a .gif, just your eyes hating your brain (or vica-versa).

...and my sister's joined a freaking cult. Oh goody. Isn't December turning into a fantastic month for me?

Nah, the popcorn trick doesn't count as losing your virginity.

6% accuracy? Were you playing blindfolded?

Oh really? Do you know how many cookies a cookie monster eats?

*ahem*

Jesus fucking Christ, David Cameron is a massive idiot. Dicking the global economy to score a handful of cheap political points is bad enough, but not even trying to negotiate some kind of massive concession instead makes you the worst international politician I've had the misfortune to set eyes on. Nice of him to prove once and for all that the big bankers are his big buddies. And my heating's broken. Fuck.

Fight like there's no tomorrow to get a contract. If push comes to shove and they won't pay you, get in touch with ACAS, and if that doesn't work, sue them. It worked for me.

I'm pretty sure you mean tentacled...

*Robert-as-middle-name-high-five!* (Yeah, I'm that cool. Deal with it! :awesome: )

William - vehement protector (???) Robert - fame-bright (again, ???) Buxton - from Buxton (the Derbyshire one, of water fame) So, yeah... A weird one, eh?

Scotland now officially has more pandas than Tory MP's. What's not to like about that? Everyone wins!

That's horrible. What kind of person eats kitten not deep-fried? Tsk tsk tsk... Typical Daily Mail reader...

I can speak a moderate amount of German, and, at a push, "tourist" levels of French, Czech, Turkish and Italian. Foreign films with English subtitles and English films with foreign subs/dubs can help - hearing the language used in context work wonders. You'd be surprised what you can learn from simply exposing yourself to the language. I, for example, learned the German for where (wo) from the original Call of Duty, a year or so before I was taught it in school.

In English law, a person only has to feel threatened for it to be assault.

Dude, I know 'posh' people who are still what I'd call chavs. It's not a class thing, it's an attitude thing. The whole "no one can touch me 'cause I'm hard" bullshit, and all that.

Why can't everyone be just like you, eh? I mean, clearly anyone who isn't you is a useless scumbag. I'm just glad you've found a way to feel superior to everyone else.

After I saw it on your Facebook, I came in here to post it. It's a really beautiful bit of film, and it really tugged at a heart string somewhere in me. How could that not been seen as a good thing by people? Are they mad? Am I? How? How is it that we still tolerate this kind of thing?

If it's late summer I should be out in Ohio, so I'm sure I could link up with you guys somewhere over there.

Either NYC area or Boston - that's quite a road trip, I have to say...
