Be Excellent To Each Other

L-LOL

A vat of the stuff...good job they're fat and buoyant or else they'd sink like a Gaywood in the deep end.

I bet they build a replica of the garden/lake/river from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I would definitely do that.

Didn't that one chap who won just use it to buy a big house with a lot of land, and then spend all the money on crashing cars in his garden and getting shitfaced? I thought that had a certain panache to it.

Chicken breast in pitta, hot, with cheese and pineapple; piri piri chips (with plenty of the extra garlic bottled sauce); macho peas; halloumi (my favourite bit).

The extra hot is alright but it's a bit overpowering and results in a bit more nose-blowing than is polite in a restaurant.

Halloumi is the cheese of the gods. I can happily grill a whole pack of that stuff and wolf it down.

IIRC, he went bankrupt, and his enighbours hated him.

Why do women wear such brightly colored bras under such thin white tops?

IIRC he was in the news a few months ago as he's blown the lot and is trying to get his old job back with the bin men. Can't remember how much he won, but I think it was around £10m. He did come across as a complete tool with an IQ that would embarrass a house plant, though.

It means they are undercover agents hired by MrsA to catch your wandering eye.

Yeah - he got arrested for various things as well, didn't he? As well as pissing off the neighbours and such.

£10 million would keep me happy and not needing to work for the rest of my life. The twat.

Yeah, probably the tastiest of all when grilled.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I find it nice in small doses, but it's a bit too salty for my taste.
*rereads post*
Ah fuck, I can see where this is going to end up...

Much like Cibrushsill, either in your mouth or in your bottom.

I gave the accounts girl an ice cream and chatted to her for a bit. It's getting very, very lonely all the way over here.

And this is how office romances begin.

I would only tell close friends, family and Viscount Cibrushsille.

"we're not flashy people"

Why enter the lottery then, leave it for the flashy fuckers who know how to enjoy all the millions!

You think you're joking.

I wasn't.

I counted up the coins in the jar of change, took it all to tesco and used the self service checkout. I broke the machine twice, but got rid of a tenners worth of change in coins no larger than 5p.

Believe you me, I know which side my bread is buttered.

Well yes, Wendy is a keeper. My ex wasn't.

Malia - Correct that post at your own risk.

You totally changed time, davpaz.

MOD ABUSE!

Someone nominated that rude post for BEEX week.

I think they may heave meant to alert a mod but instead selected BEEX Week. In anycase I emailed them back telling them that I am not in charge of BEEX Week this week.

Unless you want the next BEEX Week to be in the form of a 200 line BASIC type-in which is my next idea for a "concept" BEEX Week.

Sorry for the heavy handed Modding. Not sorry for removing the word

What have you got against raccoons?

What did I miss?

Davpaz being a 'coonist, it seems. Clearly he is not a fan of superior animal based hats.

JC would be creaming himself if he knew I had just been giving this serious consideration:

I just done gone and hyperextended my knee, it bent the wrong way, I heard a loud pop and crumpled to the floor. Just hoping that I've only sprained it rather than snapped any ligaments.

I think I'm too old for this shit

Due to the itchiness, I am currently wear loose pyjamas and have my arms wrapped in damp pastel pink and green tea towels. All I need is a face shroud and I would be the quintessential 80's gay ninja...

I'd just like to say, well done chaps. This place has been most excellent today!

Hope the knee is ok Mark

Did anyone offer to piss on your jellyfish rash? Or rub jellies on your piss rash? I forget which way round it was....Please get a pic of your current attire, it sounds fabulous (@ Trooper)

Why does beex being extra excellent always coincide with me being too busy to r...

Oh.

Back from A&E, doc reckons that the ligaments have had a good stretching but that they're intact.

That's some relief.

My, it is chucking it down outside.

Done my good samaritan bit for the day. I was just settling down to watch TV with a gin and tonic, and I heard this voice bellowing "I SAY, MAY I ASK FOR SOME ASSISTANCE" and a banging on the door

It's pissing down with rain. Like, instant saturation. Standing in the porch is an elderly chap, with a wooden leg. Looked like this He explains, (at some length as he seems to have Asperger's or something as well) that he'd been driving home from Dundee when he met the bad weather, and his windscreen wiper had stopped working. Turned off the road, landed here, can I help?

The wiper wasn't just not working, it was hanging off the side of the car at a jaunty angle. Still, 10 minutes to find a new nut to hold it on, good as new. I also figured out the obscure heater controls to get the screen demisted as well, since it wasn't, and he'd literally been driving with his head sticking out of the side window to see where he was going. It was a weird tiny plastic car with an air cooled diesel engine and hand operated brake and throttle, looked like it would do about 40 mph tops.

Anyway, job done. I can haz drink nao?

Behold! I am quite drunk. Tonight I kissed Polish girl. Sort of. And then she texted to say sorry for acting weird, and some other things. And then while we were texting each other about stuff and I was about to tuck into some (actual, from home) chicken and London 'chicken' shop chips, I checked my email.

I have an email from someone I was living with a couple of years ago. I no doubt blathered on about it here at some point. She's basically sorry and wants to be friends.



I should sober up frst, right?

No. Reply with the first thing that comes into your head. Nothing can possibly go wrong.

Sort of kissed? How does that work?

Anyway, that Rebekah Brooks, eh? Had to go really. Evil.

The airplane safety video from my recent flight.



Adorable!

He leant in to kiss her & ended up drunkenly heidering her

Are there any decent sites left for "abandonware" now that the likes of GOG have bought up the rights to things I was otherwise able to download for free (e.g. Jagged Alliance, the XCOMs) without threat of ESA or whoever suing me?

http://www.abandonia.com/ is the closest thing. Home of the Underdogs was also (fuckin' finally) resurrected at http://homeoftheunderdogs.net/ a couple of years ago, but after such a long period of stasis and since gog proved that they were right about most people wanting to buy them if possible, they've gone pretty quiet again since.

I doubt either of them would do xcom or JA though, as they're not abandonware anymore.

Edit: Huh, interesting. Try http://www.hotud.org - seems to be more complete than the other HOTU site. Not sure what's going on there. I will have to do some investigatin'. I've been meaning to write a toast to HOTU for ages actually - they combined games and archiving, two of my favourite things, and they did it all for free while the games industry sat by doing nothing.

Re-edit: Ah, now it's coming back to me - the first site is where the original HOTU is being recreated after the original owner let it stagnate for years and lost the domain a couple of times. The second site is where some other people started anew, concentrating on the original idea rather than recreating the old site itself. The latter appears to be a better resource at the moment.

Living next to Bletchley Park has it's benefits at times, I've just been buzzed by a spitfire that couldn't have been much more than 200ft off the ground

I've sort of followed what's gone on with you and your ex Zio, but don't know all the ins and outs of it. I've never been one to advocate a couple that fundamentally isn't working any more staying together 'for the sake of the children', but children do certainly change the framework that both parties (plus the child of course) have to live within.

Is it all obliterated and finished? Is there anything left of each other that the other still loves? Then there's the question as to who got fucked over by whom and how many times, who can forgive, who needs to forgive, and will anyone say sorry? (I note from an earlier post of yours that you felt you were due an apology that was never forthcoming.)

Sometimes a relationship needs to end and there is no other option, but equally there can be an alternative path sometimes.

Sorry if I'm intruding here but your post is very honest and really quite heartbreaking.

Thanks, chap - I've used those sites, but I guess my main bugbear was the previously free stuff now getting snapped up for resale rights. I suppose the only way to get them for free is to torrentz them, and I don't do that.
