Be Excellent To Each Other

Couldn't you just... well, buy them?

Going to attempt to make 2 lots of beer tonight. One is a bitter, the other a lager. Timing should be ok for the Beex BBQ. a ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.

I had a haircut yesterday. Now I look like Jim Carey from Dumb and Dumber.

Thats more likely due to the pastel blue tuxedo...

I don't want them to the tune of 7 dollars. If I can't legally get them free, I'm going without - partially because picking up old games that you haven't played before is an uncertain gamble, both in terms of whether you'll actually enjoy them and whether they'll work. I'd rather save the monies and buy cheapy second hand 360 games.

But that's what sites like GOG are for. There are plenty of reviews on there and they make sure they'll work on your computer. Plus seven dollars is nothing to a high-flying lawyer type like yourself.

Abandonware isn't legal though.

True, yes. I'd alluded to it earlier with the "not getting chased by the ESA or whoever", though. whilst it isn't technically legal, noone's going to have a pop at you for it.


Devilman - good point! I'll have a rummage. That said, I'm not sure they're worth 7 dollars a pop when you can get slightly later vintage PC games at CEX or wherever for 50p.

7 dollars is a sandwich.

You spend 5 quid on a sandwich? You have more money than sense, mate.

But it means a great deal to him.

967 Bananas.

It's 'big' deal, but still 823 bananas.

Could a moderator change my name to 'YOG', please? I'm not using a PC to browse the net at the moment, and it'd make signing in much easier for me. Pretty please?

Please be aware that if you are the second person awarding bananas to the same post, you need to be in a "Second opinion" boxout.

That is all.

I seem to have lost a lot of my beer making stuff. So I only began one batch this evening. It's Pilsner Lager.

I spent $7 on a huge Philly Cheesesteak, which promptly fell apart when I tried to eat the dam thing.

Turns out, on Friday, the filth went around most of the pubs in Bicester with sniffer dogs and stuff. I'm not completely sure how I would feel if I were to be in a pub, then get sniffer dog'd. From what I gather, Boone was allowed to leave whilst this went on. At which point I suspect Nr Chris's wise words on the subject might have come out if my mouth. No doubt, ending up in the back of the van, charged with a public order offence so beloved of the police.

Certainly.

You are a gentleman and a scholar. Thanks muchly!

Just watching Full Metal Jacket and it struck me how Kissyfur looks very much like Joker. Well he does once his hair has grown back, hippy.

Also watching Full Metal Jacket. Having physically been to Canary Wharf - and thus in the space depicted by Kubrick - I feel like I have indeed been 'there', and thus can readily understand the complex themes and emotional trauma of the marines depicted in the film. I shall be sure to point this out to any veterans I meet on my next America trip, should they challenge my understanding of the conflict through my absence.

Hi Yog!

Are you new?

?

I'm not sure I have suggested shouting "Fuck you, pigs" at any point...

More along the lines of not letting a whole pub full of people leave. I can't recall PACE, to be honest.

Er. We watched Full Metal Jacket at the weekend too. Took the shrinkwrap off the BluRay I bought about 11 months ago.

Why did we all decide to watch it this weekend?

We both have the Mickey Mouse Club theme stuck in our heads, which presumably was the intent.

Also Jayne was in Full Metal Jacket. Huh.

God I love true blood, as epic as this one was next week's is going to be fucling amazing.

You been watching Austin Powers?

Holy shit. There's no way that could have been an accident.

There's another new guy at work. He looks even younger than I do. I'm impressed.

It wouldn't have looked like that before the floor was put in to make the church into flats though.

Has one of the women just come back from maternity leave to show off their new progeny?

My favourite baguette shop has reopened after its refurbishment and whilst it looks far better than it used to, they've changed their menu and removed the 'Mexican chicken' option I've always had for the last five years or so. It might take me a while to find a new favourite, but I was quite pleased with the 'chicken tikka' I eventually went for.

Did you get caught in the rain? Fair old lamped it down.

Heh. He looks about 9, and has come in completely suited up. He's exactly the type of person I'd paint as a career politician, but he appears to have settled on Python programming instead.

Yes. Thankfully, I was approaching the scaffolding around Blackwell's Music shop so stood under that until it passed.

Check out photo #6.

Why?

I meant to type "#4"

Good oh. I don't tend to venture up that far.

He means pic 5 of 9 (last pic on the first page)

I'm not sure I could live with that.
