Post came (hur) still no Saints Row IV Grr. Also, to rub salt in the wound, an imported copy a friend in Australia bought from America arrived already. So US-Australia is faster than ****ing Royal Mail or whatever Amazon Ewe Kay use. Though he still can't play it 'cos it's Steam locked until the Australian release date in like two weeks and mine should be here before then.

In other news, yesterday I stabbed myself in the nose with a butter knife by accident, this morning I accidentally punted one of my kittens across the room and he is kind of cranky with me despite the fact he tripped me up AND then managed to run in front of my foot as I did some weird kick thing to not fall over and squish the little murderous barstud.

I think if you opt for free shipping amazon deliberately sit on it, cause at most you should be looking at 2-3 days from Royal mail.

Kerrang just made my ears and brians very angry.

They're playing pop punk, which in itself is fine.

Except they played some pish by 'Cobra Starship'. Which as well as being utter crap, and about as punk as my Nan.......includes a vocoder. And is shot in a club. Gibbering to a distinctly hippity-hop jazz wank beat, about 'good girls gone bad'

F U KERRANG! F U IN YOUR CLEARLY MALFUNCTIONING EARS!

Just because you don't like it, it does not make it bad. There is a reason it is called POP Punk, because it is popular.
Your musical ignorance astounds me. I would like to think that I am a fairly open minded person, and when someone is so closed and closeted like that it annoys me.

Seriously, the older style of music is dwindling, it's getting old and evolving into what it is today. Appreciate the new and old. Don't hate on people for what they like.

[Mr Mystery]

Pop Punk for the most part is fine and dandy.

But this was not even vaguely punk. It was just another quasi-hip hop white boy drivel.

If you're gonna play music, at least play the good stuff.

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Look up Twenty One Pilots, they're good, and hip hop white boys.

[Wolfshade]

They have replaced Kerrang with PlanetRock in my area, I am less than impressed.

[eldargal]

Turns out drinking half a bottle of red wine and half a bottle of 60% alcohol gin by accident at lunch makes Eldargal a bit crazy. Also a bit hungover. That would be me, apparently, hiding the water I was given to drink like it was some kind of game and ending up dehydrated. I also apparently sent a lot of PMs here on BoLs I have little memory of so going through the sent folder is going to be fun.

The wife has read it, she was "Meh, that wasn't explicit" could be worse, it could have been written by Dan Brown.

[Psychosplodge]

Yeah the wench paid a pound for it second hand to see what the fuss was about without funding it. Hence my earlier thing about seeing how bad it is. I've still not got to it as apparently it's worse than Breaking Dawn my all time worst book ever...

[Wolfshade]

I have read the twlight books, they are not as bad as Dan Brown.

I really loved Buffy, a great female lead who was a genuine female charater, not just a male character portrayed as woman, she was strong and decisive, then you have Bella who is just a damp squib

[Psychosplodge]

I've never read more than a chapter of Dan Brown, it was bad...

[eldargal]

Apparently only Gotthammer got drunk PMs, sorry about that. Apparently at one point I got lost navigating from my inbox to sent folder or something and freaked out and my brother had to come and help me get back into my inbox or something. I don't actually remember anything, sounds like fun though.

Yep, Bella is just an atrocious character. Buffy was excellent and as you say a woman who was strong and decisive not a 'guy with breasts' that a lot of that sort of character really are. Not only that she was surrounded by a lot of equally well developed character. Like Xander, who was surrounded by girls who were all a lot stronger and more powerful than him but wasn't overpowered by it and found his own way to contribute.

[eldargal]

Ditto. Also worth remembering that Harry Potter has had a huge impact on how people perceive the world (http://www.uvm.edu/~uvmpr/?Page=news&storyID=16276), not something a mediocre book achieves"

Harry Potter and the Millennials: Research Methods and the Politics of the Muggle Generation (John Hopkins University Press, 2013) reveals that readers of the seven-book series and viewers of the movie franchise tend be more open to diversity; politically tolerant; less authoritarian; less likely to support the use of deadly force or torture; more politically active; and are more likely to have a negative view of the Bush administration.

God has a sense of humour, anti-vaccination megachurch struck by measles outbreak:

Measles outbreak tied to Texas megachurch sickens 21 (http://www.nbcnews.com/health/measles-outbreak-tied-texas-megachurch-sickens-21-8C11009315)

An outbreak of measles tied to a Texas megachurch where ministers have questioned vaccination has sickened at least 21 people, including a 4-month-old infant -- and it’s expected to grow, state and federal health officials said.

“There’s likely a lot more susceptible people,” said Dr. Jane Seward, the deputy director for the viral diseases division at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Sixteen people -- nine children and seven adults -- ranging in age from 4 months to 44 years had come down with the highly contagious virus in Tarrant County, Texas, as of Monday. Another five cases are part of the outbreak in nearby Denton County.

All of the cases are linked to the Eagle Mountain International Church in Newark, Texas, where a visitor who’d traveled to Indonesia became infected with measles – and then returned to the U.S., spreading it to the largely unvaccinated church community, said Russell Jones, the Texas state epidemiologist.

“We have a pocket of people that weren’t immunized,” said Jones, noting that vaccination rates typically hover above the 98 percent range in his county.

[Wolfshade]

God has a sense of humour, anti-vaccination megachurch struck by measles outbreak:
I think he has, he drops churches on them as well from time to time.

It really does amuse me such people because they seem to pigeon hole God, surely the invention of a cure/immunisation is enough of an intervention.

It is like the old Joke:


John, who was in financial difficulty, walked into a church and started to pray. ''Listen God,'' John said. ''I know I haven't been perfect but I really need to win the lottery. I don't have a lot of money. Please help me out.'' He left the church, a week went by, and he hadn't won the lottery, so he walked into a synagogue. ''Come on, God,'' he said. ''I really need this money. My mom needs surgery and I have bills to pay. Please let me win the lottery.'' He left the synagogue, a week went by, and he didn't win the lottery. So, he went to a mosque and started to pray again. ''You're starting to disappoint me, God,'' he said. ''I've prayed and prayed. If you just let me win the lottery, I'll be a better person. I don't have to win the jackpot, just enough to get me out of debt. I'll give some to charity, even. Just let me win the lottery.'' John thought this did it, so he got up and walked outside.
The clouds opened up and a booming voice said, ''John, buy a ****ing lottery ticket.''

Sometimes you need to meet him half-way

Happy Monday all. September is here with avengance, crisp Autumnal feeling to the air this morning, also during the weekend someone has installed a silly round-a-bout on my route to work and I almost went straight over the top of it as was going slightly too fast to get round it properly, this wouldn't be a problem if it were just a painted on island, but this has a 3' high parapet wall.

[Psychosplodge]

I'm pretty sure everyone is more pro-boob here...

I hate when they put random roundabouts in the way.

[DrLove42]

This mornign i have ascended from stressed to raged.

Had the microscope booked for a week. Come in this morning to find the room its kept in is now locked (hasn't been for last 2 years). Only guy with the key? Not in today

So had to rebook for wednesday afternoon

I seriously cannot wait to get out of this ****e pit

[Psychosplodge]

it's a conspiracy. Especially since they know you're leaving...

[DrLove42]

If it wasn't for the fact i'm exhausted beyond the ability to form rational thoughts thanks to my wonderful weekend i'd complain.

They still threw in some of the heavier stuff towards the end of the night :D
I can't even link you the blue song as a video :rolleyes:

I just try not to go clubbing anymore. Its **** music, expensive and tiring

[Wolfshade]

Psh, Eddies is great. Reasonable priced drinks, great music (if you like that sort of thing), and there are plenty of seats and tables, not that I use them too busy bouncing around.

Also they serve cups of tea, and hobgobiln (not in the same glas obvs.)

[Psychosplodge]

I just try not to go clubbing anymore. Its **** music, expensive and tiring

last time I went was with a group of early twenties people, plus the SO who is nearer thirty like me. They all couldn't hack it and went home tired at about half midnight - we were there till they kicked us out about three.

Youth of today :rolleyes:

[Psychosplodge]

oh we had a booth pegged out. We're not young enough to do the "dancing" all night...

[DrLove42]

i'd rather go to a bar where I can talk to people not be deafened by the dubstep and hip hop they all play now

[Psychosplodge]

Yeah if they were playing that I'd agree 100% with you.

[Wolfshade]

Why would you go to a club that plays that music if you didn't like it...

[DrLove42]

Cos I get dragged out my the wife and the douchebags she used to work with

****ING Bollocking ****bags of ****

I'm now beyond stressed. As if moving wasn't expensive enough, between van hire, legal fees, deposits and all the rest, our current landlord is insisting we pay the full month rent on our current flat, despite only the fact we will only be living in it for 4 days. We move on the 4th, and as our contract doesn't expire till the 28th, they're insisting on a full months rent (another 600-700 pounds).

The worst part is they're claiming they're only doing this as "a months notice (its been 2) is not long enough to get new tennants in on that date, and so they'd be losing money

So the cost of moving has now hit 2K. Minimum

[Psychosplodge]

If they do that, insist on access till the end of the month, as in send someone round with the keys and if they've changed the locks kick off...

[DrLove42]

Still hoping that a month is long enough for them to find someone to move in. Its a nice flat

My only concern is they've bumped the price up for the next tennant to what I think is unreasonable money for it, so that'll put a lot of people off

[Psychosplodge]

Surely once your contracts up it doesn't matter?

[DrLove42]

Won't bother me at all. But someones got to move in eventually. If they move in during that empty month i'm not paying the full price for it

[Mr Mystery]

Not sure they can do that...

Check the terms of your tenancy for your notice period. If you've given the correct period, you've given the correct period and they can whistle. If they get the arse, rent tribunal, which means you won't have to pay until it's resolved.

But yeah, as said, you pay for the month, it's yours for the month, whether or not they have someone ready to move in.

[Wolfshade]

If you can prove that you gave your contractual notice then you are laughing. I had a landlord not give me back my deposite because they hadn't got a new tenant. I suggested that it wasn't my issue and that if he wanted to I would see what the small claims court suggested. I had my deposit back within 3 working days.

As for staying to the end of the month I think that that might be a contractual issue so no leyway unless the landlord is cool.

[DrLove42]

Yeah, as its less than a month we leave it vacant theres not much can be done.

They're also suggesting getting the deposit back could take between 2 and 6 weeks.

[Mr Mystery]

Sounds about right for the deposit. Most landlords now pay it into a 3rd party thing, to keep it safe for all concerned. That of course adds admin time to returning it.

And in other news....does anyone else just kind of ignore advertising for the most part?

[Psychosplodge]

of course, why would you do anything else with advertising? When you want something you generally go looking for it...

[Mr Mystery]

Goodo!

Also, didn't get my promotion this time around, on account of stupid mistakes in my application (grammar and that).

Still....they're happy with my experience and skills and that, and it's only two months until the next openings....

And to be honest, after 3 years of just success, it's kind of good to get knocked back once in a while!

[Psychosplodge]

Shame Mystery, did they tell you that was what it was then?

[Gotthammer]

Re Ignoring ads: Nope, I do look at ads and have found quite a few things I have enjoyed but wasn't previously aware of - even through random banner adverts.

As an example I've got a "70% off Corsets" from a company I hadn't heard of who not only have a great range but extensive detailing of their ethical manufacturing processes. Not buying anything now, but I wouldn't have ever bought anything from them if not for the ad.


Mystery - ah well, better luck next time then! Least it's not a long wait to re-try.

[Mr Mystery]

My own stupid fault entirely :)

Just need to whip through it and tidy it up ready for the next window. Oh, and add in a buttload more 'this is how awesome I am' to cover off the intervening 2 months!

[Wolfshade]

I need a new job :(

[Psychosplodge]

I need a better paid one...

[DrLove42]

I can't wait to leave my current and start the new one

[Wolfshade]

Frustrating.

I am involved in a charity, we are trying to get quotes for some works.
One of the members on the board has just emailed an email requesting for quotes without proof reading the email and letter. It contains the word "quotating" I have no idea what planet he is on. One of the firms he has contacted I am already in contact with and are in the process of writting up the quote. Argh.

[Psychosplodge]

Too many cooks?

[DrLove42]

Some people shouldn't read...



Or Write

[Wolfshade]

Well there are three problems

1. He is the chairman, having filled the role after I left the board
2. He is the only one who seems to be doing anything
3. He is my father

[DrLove42]

Ah I can see them being a problem

[Psychosplodge]

Surely 3) makes it easier to address? With a stop I've already done that one...

[Wolfshade]

No, no. He just seems to have a strange disregard for most things that I say. Like when i told him not to delete the windows directory to save space as it would stop all the programs from working (this was back in Win95 days) he deleted it and suddenly Word would no longer work, shock.

[Psychosplodge]

or boot even?

I'm having this problem with my mother, I answered the same question three times saturday, and then the fourth I was more than mildly irritated - and she claimed she hadn't asked me...

[Wolfshade]

It would boot into Dos 6.22 (I think, not that it really matters).

[Psychosplodge]

ah, when you had to load windows yourself?

[DrLove42]

Rome Total War tomorrow. Got me excited.

What else are parents for if failing to understand technology?

[Psychosplodge]

Yeah I'm going to get nothing done this week after work...

[DrLove42]

Start as the red Romans and conquer straight up through Gaul and the Goths, then invade Britannia.

Can't wait.

[Psychosplodge]

Nah.
Red Romans, and conqueror Greece and North Africa, totally throws off the other Roman factions.

[Cap'nSmurfs]

I have it preloaded~!

[Mr Mystery]

Well. That could have gone better!

Having to get accredited on everything again, which rather than the free style I've been honing the past three months, means I have to do it all strictly by the book.....

[Wolfshade]

Watching Jamie Oliver's new programme on Channel 4 about how to cut down your food bill, it is all common sense, tip 1 reuse left overs, e.g. left over beef use in a stir fry, tip 2, freeze herbs/spices

[Mr Mystery]

Yup.

Sadly, this stuff isn't taught in schools anymore. Far as I'm aware, at the ripe old age of 33, I was amongst the last batch of secondary school kids to be taught home economics.

Really should be brought back, along with stuff like how to wire a plug. Yes we are a service driven economy now, but I do wish the Right Wing would shush about 'immigrunts taking ur jurbs' in plumbing and that when the curriculum prevents our youth from learning such things at a young age.

Not everyone is academically inclined, and the current plan just dumps them on the scrapheap from too young an age. Which is yet another thing people whine on and on about.

[Wolfshade]

I didn't do cookery, though one of the other grammar schools did.

Final top tips, cook/prepare large portions and freeze them...

[Mr Mystery]

All good and valid tips.

And given many are taught by TV these days, rather than parents, it is worth putting it up once in a while. For instance, I know that one from Mumsie Mystery, who'd cook up a big batch of plain mince, and then divvy it up into portions for the week. Defrost, reheat, turn into whatever mince based dish you fancy from there.

[Wolfshade]

My biggest compaint is that if you are on a budget then you couldn't really afford the initial splash out of £14 for the brisket to begin with.

[Mr Mystery]

I guess. But then there's budgets and there's budgets.

For instance, although currently quite skint (bill bombed), I can still wrangle impressive value out of a free range, organic chicken by making it stretch to 5 meals, including a one man Sunday roast. Key is the bulking ingredients being kept cheap. Like couscous. It can of course be done cheaper if you literally can't afford to eat as ethically as I try to, and for those who can't I pass no judgement. You family naturally comes first.

But doesn't have to be brisket. Cheaper cuts are usually far tastier when cooked properly. For instance, Oxtail in a stew. Ridiculously cheap cut of meat, but so much flavour!

[Wolfshade]

Oh I no, we have recently been bulking out with haricot beans.

Had a lovely home made "baked beans" and jacket potato, though in relatity it was more of a cassoulet.

[Mr Mystery]

Sounds good to me!

Man if only I had a garden. I'd grow my own veg as well! Dead easy!

[Mr Mystery]

Interesting development is interesting. And having spent some time on the minimum wage, for companies posting healthy profits, highly overdue (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-23934721). Because whilst every company is entitled to turn a profit, paying your employees nuts all to help with just isn't fair.

[Wolfshade]

I thought raising the minimum wage is a good thing, but I now don't.

Consider a service company employs 100 people, and the government raises minimum wage by 10%.

Now this must mean that costs increase by 10%.

The company to retain it's same level of profitabiltiy needs to do one of the two things:
a) Increase cost by 10% (risking losing market share)
b) Reduce costs by shedding 10% of the workforce and increase the work load on the remaining 90%

I would imagine that a company wouldn't want to increase its costs as it might reduce it's market share (unless it is GW) so you are left by loosing 10% of people.

The other thing to continue is that if you increase minimum wage by 10% then you give people an extra 10% to spend, conseuqently you increase inflation and as normal the inflation will rises prices above the price range.

This sort of thing happens whenever there is a pay rise across a large section of employment.

Despite my cyniscism I do think that there is too much of a pay gap between the bottom and the top.

[DarkLink]

Somewhere I found an article that explained that for a given industry, if the minimum wage is more than roughly 50% of the average income of workers, then it starts becoming significantly counter-productive because companies are forced to fire workers to cut costs to afford to pay their remaining workers. I'll have to look for it again.

[DrLove42]

I think the solution is not increase the minimum wage, but increase the amount of tax free allowance you get.

Morning all.

Happy Rome Total War Day

I just don't know how they'll make it a film. Its just porn surely....

[Psychosplodge]

dunno not read it. I imagine something like the secretary?
I think there is already a full porn "parody" version released...

[DrLove42]

I can believe it.

I can guarentee i'll never see it (parody or real film - gonna be a fight for which one is worse probably)

[Psychosplodge]

The parody would certainly be more "honest", probably has more plot too...

[Wolfshade]

Something like the secretary, only half as clever...

Also worse film ever is movie 43 I think it is called, why it exists is beyond my recogning.

Tax-free allowance increase I think is good, but should only be on earned income :)

Happy Tuesday all, new route into work is definately not road bike friendly, crossing two fords and gravel roads. Worryingly strava tells me that I have the 9th quickest time across the off road section...

She is oddly beautiful. Sounds horrid I know, but her face....there is something not quite right about it, but somehow it just adds to her allure.

According to wikipedia shes in Captain America (the first one)

And is going to be Irene Adler in the next series of Elementary (that wierd American Sherlock with Lucy Liu...)

She does look vaguely ethereal. She is brilliant in Elementary.

I still eagerly anticipating Eggs Benedict Cucumber sandwich's Sherlock on the BBC to come back

I ignored it at first as I was against the idea of an American, modern Sherlock adaptation but he is still English and gender swapping Watson was genius and Lucy Liu is superb in the role.
