Be Excellent To Each Other

WTF isn't there an ITV4+1?

There's an ITV1+1, ITV2+1, ITV3+1, but no ITV4+1...

I want to sky+ The Shining, but it started 48 minutes ago on ITV4

Pictures of Oktoberfest.... but it's September

There is on FreeSat here (Manchester). Weird.

Oktoberfest is a celebration of the arrival of Oktober October, so runs from mid-September.

You know what's better than a month of drinking beer? 6 weeks of drinking beer!

I really want one of those dresses....

My friend, ex-colleague and MrsA's old housemate lives over in Muenchen. She looks a bit like Jennifer Garner. The picture of her in Lederhosen was, like, cripes. Talented scientist and runner, too. We were going to go over there, but, erm, didn't. I've always wanted to go, seems like a right old giggle.

Thank you, Mr Russ, for helping me out via text last night. To recap, I've set up my desktop in the basement, and it worked happily for a few hours. Then I went out, after asking it to transfer about 10Gb from the C: drive to the E: drive. Upon my return, it was switched off. Confused, I turned it ona gain, it booted into windows, then there was a loud "PHUT" sound and a smell of ozone. It won't turn on at all anymore, and Mr Russ said it was the PSU. How damp does a room have to be to knacker a PSU, or do tehy just pop once in a while? I'm going to get a new one, and see what happens. If that one goes pop, then I'll have to put the computer in the first floor library, which I'd rather not do. But anyways.

Who is she, and is it safe to google her from a public library?

Nothing to do with damp unless there's actually water running into the casing

Thanks, good sir. The room was just slightly humid when we first moved in. It seems to be getting better now there's air moving around in the room. I'm not sure how these things actually work, but seeing as boats have computers and boats sail in humid areas, I didn't think it would be a problem. I've ordered a new one now, it was £30 so hopefully should do. I didn't see any magic smoke, so I assume the other bits are OK.

They are singing songs about pirates in the library, makes me smile. Right, some jobs done, I'm off to the magistrate's court for a bit to see which law firms, if any, do what, then to to the tip, fog the house with chemicals to clear the remaining unwanted guests and then that'll be me until the afternoon. I've come to actually quite like the house now, even though it's stupidly decorated and has no coat hooks.

My week so far has been visiting 200 student halls rooms to wire up the internet. As a reward, I got to see the best view ever.

I am working from home this morning, sitting in my lounge listening to Mozart is a significantly nicer atmosphere than the windowless dungeon I am normally subjected to.

FTFY

FTFTFY

Well if you're going to get a job as a professional gimp don't come crying to us.

but it pays well!*

*sadly I don't mean this

What's that? You're looking for a Russian Book retelling the LOTR story with Mordor as a peaceful nation and Aragorn and Gandalf as villans?

OK

Not been posting much as I'm showing a freelancer the ropes to cover my holiday break. I'll be away from tomorrow so apologies to Word Feuders if my games lapse and If I miss out on next weeks Song Wars* as I'll be too busy swimming, getting pissed, reading, taking photos and chilling the fuck out.

*I'll do my best not to though.

Have an awesome holiday Daz!

So PETA are making porn now. No, there was no ? needed, PETA are making porn now. (SFW)

I think PETA are a bunch of cunts, but I totally approve of their photography. Especially Kelly Brook the other day.

NSFW: https://secure.peta.org/site/Advocacy?c ... on&id=3825

That appears to be 25% photograph and 75% airbrush...

Nah, I think her tits are really that big, fella.

I just did 300 "squashes" of my "spring thing" with my left hand and now I can't move my fingers.

Hold on while I TECH THIS UP a bit.

[edit] This is a "spring thing":

"...the nurse said she would call the police whereupon the defendant shouted 'Call all of the fuckers for all the good it will do you' before clenching his fist and striking a computer tower, rendering it inoperable and further striking a security camera with a clenched fist, breaking it."

That was possibly the highlight of my visit earlier. The rest was a sad long line of heroin addicts been caught with about 3 days worth of supply. I really can't see the point in fining people when they already have a couple o fhundred left outstanding to pay at a fiver a week from last time they were nicked.

Ooh, the picture makes it make more sense.

300 is too many.

Feex

300 is madness.

I'd say so...

MaliA, what is it you are referring to? I got a bit, lost sorry. I hope you're enjoying the North, so far. In keeping with your comment, I'd have thought there'd be plenty of call for lawyer types up there, is job hunting in your near-future plans?

Good film though, I think the loin cloths and toplessness made the film all the more enjoyable.

I went to the magistrate's court for a bit yesterday as it is warm in there, and I wouldn't be surrounded by cardboard boxes. It was interesting and quite sad.

I've been spending my time between building furniture, putting it in the correct place in the house, making food and looking for jobs. Going to try to get to Leeds tomorrow to go aorund the agencies, things keep happening to slow that down, like waiting in all day yesterday for a washing machine.

300 is SPARTA!

AIDTR?

We don't need lawyers oop North. We settle disputes with bare knuckle boxing, dog fights and bingo.

I've never thought of magistrate's court as a place to go for basic shelter and light entertainment before, but now I have. Do we have them in Scotland?

Ah I see!

Yeah, I'm sure your days are filed with all that kind of crap. That is one of the worse things about moving. We took time off for packing and moving but then you have to factor in all the rubbish that goes with it...Waiting for deliveries, being in for the gas man, being there for the Sky installers blah, blah. It's a right pain and such a waste of time when there's a million other productive things you could be doing.

Good luck with the hunt, I'm sure you will dazzle them with your Southern charm and 'posh accent'

MrsA coming home for lunch is nice, though. And the fact she now leaves for work at ten to nine and is back at twenty past five is also good.

And I deffo have not been hamming my accent up at all, for fear of losing it.

Waiting for broadband and a phone line to kick in, thne life will be easier. Wetherspoon's tea isn't my favorite, and I'm to afraid to ask them for a cup of green tea.

So I finally have an Android phone, someone should do a top apps thread for it, so I know what to download.

It's bingo that causes the disputes in the first place.

We can never have too many threads, you should start one.

I'm posting from 35,491 feet in the air, after having just watched an episode of Charlie Brooker's Screenwipe, streamed from my home PC through the air to my iPad, in the air.

Isn't technology glorious?

In the office in Reading... the amount of coughing and spluttering it is like being in gods waiting room....

That is what I am wearing

Also Barrow-in-Furness to Reading is a silly long drive and I don't wish to do that again!!

Snow Plough Train

Cool, although I did just draw a cock and balls for everything.

Very cool indeed.
