So my ex-girlfriend (future-girlfriend, present-close-friends-due-to-distance-more-than-anything) just turned up on my doorstep this afternoon! We went to town, and sat in the peace gardens with some live african music playing, just watching people enjoy the weather and enjoying each other's company. I like surprises

Bird pooed on my head once.

Yeah rokhed started cross-dressing and getting into a bunch of fetishes but retained his woe-is-me persona. x-treme cube changed his name to mokong, he got married and now has a kid on the way. Tim sold the forums (orwhatever) and now works for NoE... And the Uber Leets have all but disbanded. Jordan (kingofunrealuk) became an admin, then after breaking up with a fellow forumite irl, quit in a hissy fit. Oh yeah! We have girl members now... And lots of people, attempted to rock the forums, left without a blaze of glory... Yes! But statto/sexual chocolate/spazz monkey was the first one to take the emoticon and use it for his avatar. I used to use one of the default avatars - a spherical smiley looking into the post...

That's a funny-picture-thing. Stop trying to be anarchistic and play by the rules, murray.

Use hay to soak it up, then scoop it right off the surface. I mean seriously, I'd just do anything. Like, just try to sort the mess out.

Woop - Started fielding my youth and got some surprising performances, amidst a 4-0 win! The opponents got a whopping 7 yellow cards and 1 red! Dev-wise I have 7 players above 15. Rest of the season will be youth-orientated, so I'm really hoping to see some two-bar skill increases. Lol!

Munch was around when I joined, was still around a bit when I was a mod, but disappeared before I became an admin, so yeah, he's srsly old skool. Munch needs his old sig/ava combo!

Bank holiday monday ftw! - 7 hour shift at work! - Accidentally gave the wrong tv to a customer! - Lost the company £50! - Potentially lost the chance of a job transfer! - Less bothered as it's fucking minimum wage! - Went to pub at half 7! - Mate was already drunk as he had started at 3! - His mate, a bouncer, was very drunk too! - His mate, a hot blonde, was also drunk! - Went to another pub - My mate threw up a little - His mate's mate hit on me - Her mate told strange stories! - Went to another pub without the two strangers! - Two girls who look similar hit on me! - I feel fat so it was nice! - Taxi home with Legendary Taxi Driver - Watching UFC 114 - GUY I KNOW BEATS DIEGO 'NIGHTMARE' SANCHEZ'!!!!!!!!! - Seriously, that;s a big deal, and really weird - He once punched me - I'm lucky to be alive Other news that nobody cares about; - mate's rent would be £300 plus utilities... NO - Family friend in brighton 'forgot' he offered me his room for rent and instead gave it to his son - Looks like my only option is to move back in with my mother and sleep on a pile of my own stuff, for there is no room for anything anywhere. Will look at squats with some mates I know. - It's all weird. You know it, too.

I remember you, much! I will be honoured if you rememer me..

Ash; I'd say that spiderman's ageing is different to the other titles you mentioned. Spiderman occurred at a pivotal moment in comic-to-movie translations, and it set the benchmark for a genre that exploded soon afterwards. The Thing was a fine working of a well-trodden path through its genre, and totoro wasn't really trying to do anything brand new or reconstruct anything failed. I don't know why I'm arguing this. Day; I woke up at ______, put on my ___________, made sure my ________ was _______ and decided to ___________. When I left I remembered I'd forgotten my _________, and found it by the _________. On the way to ___________ I bumped into ___________ who, as always, decided to tell me about their _______ and how I was such a ________ because of the ___________ I did the other day. I also saw _________ from a distance and felt __________, but glad they didn't see me too. Once at the _________ I spent several hours __________ before I got a break from it and snuck off to __________. I guess I must've _______ because when I went back to the __________ everyone looked at me. The ________ of my day was when I saw this guy _________ on the ________, and while nearby _________ just stood and ________, I went and __________. The guy was so damn __________ that he gave me a ________ for my ___________. Anyway, once I got home, despite not being very ________ I __________ my __________, and sat and _________ some _________. It was a __________ day, and now I need some _________ before I go to bed. I'm looking forward to sleep so that I can _______ before the __________ ____________ that I expect to happen tomorrow.

Don't shed a tear when a big company posts losses for each console sold. Remember the original xbox? It was to generate a userbase for teh second generation console. Besides that, once you have a consumer with a console in their lounge -- once you've paid that $30 to get the machine in their hands, you have a near-guarenteed income from the consumer as they buy their monthly game, or whatever. It's just a different policy to that which nintendo has always operated by, which is why it's safe to agree with what Daft says about a future nintendo console that isn't going to attempt to pick a fight hardware-styleé with the other two big dogs. Nintendo has always, especially with the Wii and DS, pushed innovation with current technology rather than any sort of emphasis on pure brute power. While this undercuts a lot of the market who can already look back at games like Gears of War and scoff at the so-called 'graphics' that once were ground-breaking, this allows nintendo to not be risky and to play it safe, ensuring their profit is healthy. My personal speculation/dream is for either a XBLA Blast Corps or a sequel. So many games in the last two generations of consoles have taken teh BC idea and pushed it, so I'd love to see the original, or a Rare take on it (which would suck, of course).

Flight of the Conchords is, obviously, absolutely hilarious. Better than Boosh by a long shot, so many lol moments, and some truly surprising guest-stars. Anyone know if a third season is in the works? Chuck s03 is utter nerd-porn. Definitely better than the previous two seasons, even if Chuck is just a complete fool for how he treats Hannah. I'm only about 8 episodes in, and while each episode is still fairly typical, chuck's new abilities makes it more interesting. [/rubbish review]

Happy birthday smelliot! Unlucky for the birth-share. Separated at bith, I'd say. You guys are quite similar.

The point was that the unit itself was worth more than £600 of 2006's money.

Wow. That sucks. I had no idea how old the guy was, or that his health was in any way in any doubt. Big giant sadface

Hold up on the semantics, brothers! I think the thing to look at is the shift in market between the eras we are talking about. Gaming has shifted drastically from fat basement-nerd realms to unshakeable it's-for-kids manacles, finally to the present day where we can, perhaps proudly, agree that the current gaming market covers all of the above and more (thanks to the gimmicky nonce that is nintendo), so really you have to see the decrease in the cost of gaming as a reflection of the increase in demand, affording games companies greater batch production, R&D, innovation, &c. So with 'back in the day' I think the price attracted those dedicated enough to shell out a fair chunk of their sky-rocket fuel and alienated many who didn't apply to gaming the same sort of value as the 'hardcore' gamers felt the games offered. Today the growth in the market means we measure it differently. No longer is it "WOAAAH YOU HAVE A [insert console here]!!";* nowadays the elitism is measured by other variables, such as collector's editions of games, comprehensive retro collections or even just an extensive collection of current games can offer onlookers a sense of look-how-deep-my-pockets-are. There's probably an actual word for that. I just bought a laptop that is roughly 4-5 times better than my old one (mild-to-mid exaggeration, perhaps) for half the price my old one cost me four years ago. Our first PC cost us over a grand a decade ago, and needless to say it was utter shite by today's standards. Not necessarily entirely on topic, maybe. And apologies for bad grammaretc. Not slept much for a while. *Win for the punctuation train!

Lol - didn't actually think Ash would change the name... aaahaha! Day made. Sure, it's only 2 minutes old but I'm not going to do anything with the rest of it.

Me in 47 tears time! EDIT: Years* .... kept the original for future emo lyric posterity.

O_W; clearly people don't need all these phones. My first phone I didn't really use as I was like 10, my 2nd was £40 and was pay-as-you-go and I got it when I was 15 and actually wanted to text people, and the rest were on a contract phone, where I may as well get a new phone when they offer it to me because my old one's screen is totally battered.

Ah :P I could only offer 200000! The majority of my players played below their skill :/

First was an old motorola horrible one that I never remember using for anything besides Orange Wednesdays. Then the one on the left; Then sony ericsson ones - on my third one as i get a new one every 18 months, and the current one is my first slide phone, and the screen is scratched to shit and I've had it like two months. I hate phones.

That video was entertaining - and kinda puts me off from re-watching the show! And V is quite good, actually :P

Aw, my first loss On aggregate the score between me and you would be 6-5 to me :P mental. Not happy with the team's performance at all - but I think I set the wrong formation. Always annoys me when I can score two against a 12-skill keeper, but can't beat that total when faced with a 5-rated keeper! The rest of the season for me is basically going to be 90% youth. Not got anyone leaving me at the end of the season either!

Flameboy; yeah that's it. Gizmo; yeah you do. let's get on-topic, people! Shift talk to the rate-tv-show-thread-thing. I can't be bothered to move posts and edit spoilers out of them, etc.

Yeah I get that, but I mean who was the first? What's the history behind it. I can't internet-detective the answer... "During the Rolling Stones' 1972 North American tour, guitarist Keith Richards and musician Bobby Keyes hauled the television set from Room 1015 out to the balcony, and dropped it down 10 stories. Best part is that Robert Frank got it all on tape for Cocksucker Blues. You can watch the entire 1972 Rolling Stones tour on Youtube. Fascinating stuff. And apparently, The Who's Keith Moon has done the same thing at Riot House. Throw the TV out, I mean." That's the closest I can get to an origin story. It's not clear as to which Keith was actually first. Stones were who came to mind when I first posed the question to myself.
