Be Excellent To Each Other

That show popped up on my Ipod as R4 'Comedy of the Week'. Is it at least funny?

No, not really. I miss young(er) Rob Newman. He used to be able to be funny even when he was being preachy - the History of Oil was good, for instance.

Thanks for that!

FLASHBACK

AND THIS ONE. A sustained personal attack against myself.

I miss BeexWeex, but it did take time to pull together. Then again, there's always been 'Up to Jump' articles to write.

Not really worth its own thread, but does anyone know much about the Intellivision? I bought some Atari 2600 cartridges on Ebay and among them are these two -


They're completely different to the Atari carts and more closely resemble some Intellivision carts I already have. Unfortunately, I don't actually have a console to test them on. I don't think either Kung-Fu Master or Wonder Boy were release for the Intellivision, so I'm guessing they're mis-labelled. Unless there's another console that had a similar cartridge design?

My finest moment on this forum... and apart from a video of the queue outside Sainsburys for Modern Warfare 2 on the 360, I think it's my most watched video on YouTube

Just tried to pay for a beer with a Sainsbury's kids voucher. Oops.

You can trade children for beer?

Hush now. Don't want to glut the market and destabilise the current exchange rate.

Although it's not a particularly good beer.

That's okay, I have a not particularly good child.

I don't have any children of my own, but some of my nieces and nephews are pretty awesome. Plus there are loads of them so no one will mind if I trade in a couple.

Pepsi Max with Ginger is... Okay. A lot like ginger beer, unsurprisingly.

...not as fun as cider with Rosie.

I've been drinking boiled coke with ginger and a slice of lemon. It's kinda nice.

I've tried to pay for coffee at uni with my Tesco club card. On Sunday I tried to get into the library with my Costco card (it didn't work). Hmm, spotting a theme here!

And nowhere near as much fun as cider with Old Rosie.

<Polite cough>

I've just watched back that for the first time.

Just rewatched that. Superb stuff.

I've just watched the first half hour. Now I'm going to record myself masturbating to it and watch that video on an enormous zoetrope

I always get Chris Pine and Chris Pratt mixed up.

Chris out of ten for the best Chris. Which is Pine. No, Pratt. No, Pine.

(tina) Hendricks.

Chris Pratt was in Rise of the Guardians, whereas Chris Pine was in Guardians of the Galaxy. Or the other way around.

Right guys, I'm just going into my final stats exam, so all send positive thoughts my way (and luck, lots and lots of luck...).

Go go go!

You'll smash it, kiddo.

GO GJ!

Good luck! Remember to normalise theZ-distribution to isolate the key variables!

Go GJ!

Giphy "positive vibes":

Smash it Jazzy!

So I spent my lunch productively;

Good luck Jazz!

Cheers guys. Out now, fingers crossed for the results!

Good luck Jazzy! Hope the Fresh Prince is making you a nice tea tonight.

Did you revise drunk?

Nah, she knows drunk inside out

Unexpected questions in letters to local newspapers, part 94:

I'm with this guy which is why I watched when I had my vasectomy.

I was at a family function this afternoon and it was good to catch up with everyone on various limbs of my family tree again after so many years.

I was talking to the wife of a cousin who told me how she remembered me when I was very small:

"You came up to me, Kern, with your 'Body Book' open and said 'Hello Mrs Penis!'"

2 questions:

Which cousin?
What party?

It's funny because MaliA still uses that line

Clearly Mali's invite got lost in the post.

Mr Penis. Obviously.

I think it was the late Carrie Fisher who said the two saddest words in the English language are "what party?".

A happy Kov
