Be Excellent To Each Other

Star wars weather.

Outted:

do female astronauts wear bras in zero-g?

Dimmers? Did you notice any decent new perks when you levelled up this morning? I swear if any more skill points have been spent on my Fertility talent, I'm going to be fucking pissed off.

God damn crappy nicotine patches. So I woke up today with a pain in my chest and decided to start giving up smoking.

Stuck on a patch and it's half fucking fell off already after 30 mins. CRAP.

Thank god for parcel tape.

Why did I test perfume out by spraying it on myself (wrist) instead of, you know, anywhere else? I smell like a girl now.

Eurgh.I hate doing that. All day you smell like a tart's windowbox.

In other news: my younger brother told everyone he had made a Christmas list this year, and to please try to only buy him stuff off it. Fair enough, it'll take the effort out and give him something he really wants.

Except he'd given the list to his girlfriend first. His girlfriend is useless and hogged the list until last night, when she'd finally decided what she was going to buy for him. The one thing within my price budget, mixed in with expensive motorbike parts, is a book, for which I'm now having to pay £8 to guarantee it'll arrive before Christmas. I was going to pick up something small as an extra gift, but now I'm broke again.

It's nice, classy perfume, so it isn't too bad. But I still smell (more) like a woman.

I thought you were a girl.

Hoorah, after my line break repair the ADSL seems to have had a speed increase of 25% to previous speeds.

To, 1.25meg. Is that fast enough to shoot Mr Chris in the head repeatedly if Father Christmas brings me a Microsoft GXBox?

Yes, yes it is. Congrats!

Aye, it's plenty

Hey everybody have you seen my balls they're big and salty and brown !.

I have had to resort to drastic measures given the shower of shite choice of Xmas songs this year.

Anyone know a way of downloading stuff from youtube? The stuff I've looked at looks too much like dodgy spyware.

That lost out on the number 1 slot by 500 units.

It took me 3.5 hours to get into work today.

It's a 22 mile journey.

Drive faster.

HTH HAND

You lazy cunt.

It took two hours for me, and that's a journey of a few metres. Man, my bed was warm.

work? No ta. Fiddling with media center and xbox for me.

Yeah, turns out I have to make myself available for the week, as I didn't explicitly book it off and there are loads of things happening behind the scenes that I may need to do I needs arise. I'll likely be sitting here reading and BeEXing, though.

Also: James May's Lego house was amazing.

I GOT A CATE USB SOULFUL HUBZOR FOR TEH SECRET SANTA!!11111!

I just got a PS3 as a "free" gift with a new phone. Should arrive either today or tomorrow.

You whore.

That makes me need one now.

I dared to say the Gamestation (and by association GAME) sale is shite on HUKD and have been roundly shouted down by shilling pricks.

You insensitive bastard. My mum died in a GAME sale.

And, um, you know, Hitler and stuff?

This was indeed awesome. We need a rematch soon - sorry for wussing out last night.

I have had a hideous cold for 8 days now. This is unacceptable.

I started with mine yesterday, it had better not go on for 8 days. Also we have no snow, they said it would snow but there's nothing

I'm at the end of mine now, snot is thickening rapidly. Feel ok though.

I started coming down with something last night, ending the day with a sore throat and the feeling of impending doom come the morning. A few people I've been with lately have been stuck in bed for a few days with some sort of 'flu-type illness. Probably just colds: who knows.

I swear there's a massive psychological portion to succumbing to such illnesses, though; I've managed to, seemingly, fight off such things by mentally refusing to drag myself down into feeling like shit a few times in the past. I feel absolutely fine right now.

Probably should start my Christmas shopping. Spent the morning playing PIRATES!

There is a bit, I won't generally let a cold stop me from doing something fun that I have planned and I'll usually feel fine for the duration. Yet if I have a cold and have to work then I invariably feel fucking terrible.

Annoyingly, I thought it was a combination of being hungover from jugs of Vodka Redbull on the Friday night, plus botulism shits from an ill-advised hotdog on the way there. By the time I realised it was a cold, the bastard already had me.

sweet! I've coaxed windvd into playing my wall-e blu ray. I was tempted to buy a hardware player, but i think I can save my money now

Yeah, once you're gone, you're gone. If you catch it early enough, though, it seems you can give it a mental 'FUCK YOU' and kick your immune system into over-drive.

Same here. I'm sure it's the additional stress of Christmas that normally does for me at this time of year. OK so far though.

I forgot about Presto! It's the best Pixar short evar!

I don't know that by name — I'll check it out. I absolutely loved Partly Cloudy at the start of Up, though.

Yeah, well I'm medicated to practically turn mine off, and I still only get one cold a year. I reckon it's a myff. Human metabolic defenses are actually performed by (not unexpectedly) doozers. So basically, it just depends whether you have lazy doozers or whether their coffee machine is working correctly.

I'm tempted to go and get a can of red bull right now actually.

I love that game.

Yesterday I decided to dispense with the desk cluttering my room and hook my PC directly up to the telly via HDMI, with an optical cable to the surround sound amp. I now have glorious 1080p Windows gaming goodness, although my games all still seem to want to output in Stereo, so I'm obviously doing something wrong there. Or, more likely, the built in soundcard on my PC's motherboard is a bit shit.

Also, I've really got into Mass Effect lately. I bought it when it originally came out and got as far as the Citadel before deciding it was shite and turning it off. All this time later I've come back to it and I don't know what has changed in the meantime but I'm finding it absolutely fantastic. Just in time for the sequel! My only regret is that I've been playing it on the Xbox, despite having bought the PC version of Steam ages ago... a quick perusal shows that the PC version is much, much nicer looking. Plus, despite not normally being from the mouse & keyboard brigade, mouse controls really seem to suit that game. I'm having to play the Xbox version with Casual combat to stop the pad being launched out of the window in some sections, whereas the PC version has presented no huge issue to me playing it on normal difficulty.

I might actually end up playing through this a second time on the PC once I've done the Xbox version.

Where is the thread for Avatar, and why isn't it on the front page?





Seriously, what kind of nerds *are* you?

The trailer looked rubbish.
