The plane did a couple of circuits around us, which is why I had a look on Flightradar to see if it was another survey flight, similar to the one I spotted a few months ago.

Finally, a new Duke Nukem I actually want to play if it ever gets finished with the speed that silly things worth adding are happening in the world!

That looks like a cease and desist wet dream.

It also looks ace.

I think "Snake Charmer" was the best bit.

How would you pronounce the word:

Ensue

?

I would have it sounding a little like N Shoe (bit a little softer than that)

My eldest son says it more like N Sue (like the name)

Whilst my wife says it rhyme with tissue

I'd say I mostly agree with Mrs Malc, but then that depends on whether she pronounces tissue as tishoo or tisyew :D

I think we can all agree that it definitely isn't N Sue (like the name)

It really depresses me watching a Youtube vid and the twat doing the commentary talks about "the early internet" and you realise they're talking about 2010.

I was online from 1999 and even I know that wasn't the early internet.

I first went on the internet in the college library in late 1996. It was slow as fuck and there was bog all on it, but damn it was exciting.

I remember I bought a magazine called XNET, which was a standard lads mag type thing in the style of Loaded or Zoo (it was the 90's, I was horny. Don't judge) but it had a CD on the cover with offline versions of a load of websites! It was glorious.

This was when all web addresses were like http://www.geocities.com/earthnet/U7650 ... index.html and you jolly well had to type them

And my first email address was <myfirstname>.<mysurname>@hotmail.com before microsoft bought them.

AND in the first year of uni, only the students in the computing school got email addresses AND you could only access it through TELNET

1994 for me I think. That was my first year of uni and I don't think I was online at home before that?
Had a serial connection in my room at uni for the first year, connected to my 286...

I first went on the internet at college I think... but I barely remember anything other than downloading Jpegs of Stone Cold Steve Austin.

The first 'internet ready' computer I had at home was when I was 18 and looking back, it probably changed my life. Yep, I'd have probably done something with my time on the earth if I hadn't had that damn PC...

I think that every manchild who attained the internet at the right time in their lives have similar stories about how much fluids they lost that first night.

I'm similar to Trooper, but I started Uni in 1993 (and didn't have a serial connection or 286 so not all that similar at all) , I had been on bulletin boards on my friend's computer back in the late 80s/early 90s, but my first taste of the internet was using gopher, email and usenet, and then someone told us where the mosaic installer was, and then away I went.

Very much remember loading up http://akebono.stanford.edu for an early version of yahoo.

I had to use Lynx if I was in my room, no way the serial connection could handle images! Netscape was reserved for the Library.
