Be Excellent To Each Other

Perseids, innit?

Yeah, but the Moon is really bright at the moment which isn't helping.

I saw a weird flash of lightning. It was just a really bright flash in a tiny space, like a massive spark.

Green tinge? Million to one chance of that they said.

Mate who lives in Blackheath had his chimney hit by lightning on Saturday. Melted his fireplace and fried everything electrical in the front room.

That made me go "Whuuuuut I have that mate" then I remembered who it was.

Just seen on one of the "For Sale" pages for Shrewsbury on Facebook (click for bigger if unreadable.)

Beats the Telford one, someone bough 'fake baccy' and it was horse manure.

What?

I don't know how to cut it off facebook.. but yes horse manure in an amber leaf wrapper.

Hush Brasserie on Holborn has a sign out front "Best burger in London"

That's a claim worth investigating.

It also offers free slippers on request which would be worth trying out.

Heh, so it does!

WHEN I AM KING EVERYDAY WILL BE A HOLIDAY VOTE MALIA FOR KING KING KING ON 18TH SEPT AND I WILL ALSO BANISH MIDGES. COME JOIN MY IN MY NEW KING KING KINGDOM VOTE YES FOR MALIA

In

Bit harsh on the midgets.

It's a low blow for sure, I expect they'll be pretty short with him once they find out.

But what will I do to get away from my family each day?

Gaywood!

Do something about that fucking taskbar bell icon for Chrome in OSX would you? No matter how often you get rid of it, the fucking thing keeps coming back.

Keep Calm and Upgrade Chrome Whenever You Can.

Surely, it auto-updates? If not, I want my money back.

My late grandad's sister (does that make her my great aunt or something?) met a US army guy in the 50s when he was stationed over here and she went back with him to the US. They got married and had three kids.

Why am I telling you this? I have just received possibly the best facebook post I have ever received, after one of her kids (my uncle something removed, I guess) added me today.
Quite simply insane genius, I've only ever met him once when I was about 12...

That's the problem, it auto updates and turns the fucking bell back on each time.

Ah, that explains random comments popping up on BBQuattro pics

Oh dear god, by accepting him I appear to have unleashed the kraken...
Apologies if any of you get any weird comments on pictures you may tagged me in

trooper that is awesome


I'm probably voting for MaliA for king, but I would like to know where you stand on snot

Enjoyed 'Avenue Q' the second time round. I find the final song, 'For Now', to be strangely life-affirming.

I TEND TO STAND ON SNOT BY ACCIDENT! VIVA LA REVOLUTION, LONG LIVE THE REPUBLIC VOTE YES FOR KING MALIA! MALIA IS THE ONLKY KING THAT WILL STREAMLINE KEYBOARDS BY REMOVING THE SHIFT AND CAPS LOCK KEYS AND ALL PUNCTUATION EXCEPT FOR EXCLAIMATIN MARKS BECAUSE WITH MALIA AS KING THERE WILL BE NO QUESTIONS ONLY ANSWERS! HIP HIP HOORAY VOTE MALIA TODAY!

Nurse!

I lasted a whole two days. But I have learnt that I don't need to check it constantly and that with a little tweaking I can get more out of it. Progress, in a way.

Also, as I don't smoke I've always craven the whole 'go on mate, you can do it' camaraderie that greets every well-intentioned but ultimately futile attempt to kick the habit.

*Dances with tears in my eyes*

Sorry old chap but you can't be king, it seems some nefarious and dastardly rotter has beaten you to it in the former colonies.



Based from San Francisco

And sorry to say this old boy but she seems to be a nicer version (although American) of you just read the testimonials -



Hang on....is this you nice alter ego in the states? Are you popping over there, putting on a skirt and "helping" ladies get preggers???

It's "Young and Pretty Middle Class Girls in Short Skirts Jumping in the Air in the Newspapers" day!

This.
Also, 'blimey, how did we get so old day'*. Is it really 14 years since I jumped in the air?

*October in Oxford is 'blimey, how did we get so old' season...

It's 8 years since it was 14 years since I jumped in the air [1] and despite the alzheimers starting to kick in, I can still remember it quite clearly.

[1] Jumping may not have actually happened.

In 1 year it will be 8 years since it was 14 years since I jumped in the air, I remember being disappointed with my A in maths (despite A being the best result I could get)

I remember pretty much failing all my A-levels due to doing nothing the whole time except drugs and skateboarding.

The invigilators were well lax in your exams.

That sounds like a... grind

I got a D in computing!

And it was actually called "computing".

D-in-computing five!

As well as getting the Grade, we had the individual mark for each paper. I did 4 papers. Pure 1 and 2 and Mechanics 1 and 2. I think I got 12/12 in Pure 1 and 11/12 in Pure 2 and Mechanics 2, and then 8/12 in Mechanics 1. I got 42/48, the minimum mark for an A (I think the previous year it had been 44 for an A). The only thing I can think of for doing so badly in M1 was that I just didn't answer a section or something. I think the most galling thing is that Mechanics was by far my favourite part of Maths. And I obviously knew what I was doing as I got 11/12 in the M2 paper.

Thinking back now it's still annoying.

Malc

I also got a D in computing!

I got a C in Computing, which clearly accounts for the extreme relative success I enjoy now.

Actually the course was just horribly, horribly taught. Things the tutor pointedly said were not going to be on the exam turned out to be on the exam.

Police are searching Cliff Richards house. CBA finding the Saville thread.

I spent 2 years learning about ancient mainframes and DBase3. In 1998! The tutor was the world's most boring man. He was obviously severely depressed but continued to plod on anyway. Used to regale us with tales of his mate who killed himself. Awkward.
