Wha gwan?

[Wolfshade]

WTF is cake vodka? Also Bailey's is just wrong.

[Psychosplodge]

But who has all these spirits?

[eldargal]

WTF is cake vodka? Also Bailey's is just wrong.

I hate Baileys. There are better Irish creams if you accept Irish cream as something to be used in a context other than making adult milkshakes.

[Wolfshade]

Not me, my spirit cupboard consists of two bottles of vodka at the moment. It is was a victim of the recent economic crisis.

[Deadlift]

But who has all these spirits?

My wife's cocktail cabinet is legendary amongst our friends :D I hazard a guess she could make every single one of those.

Nice.


I was at work the other day, fulfilling my favourite role of She Who Glares Menacingly At The Public And Yells At Them If They Look Like They Might Touch Something and we wear those little ear plug things so we can be told what to do if something happens and all that. As you can seem I'm all about explaining things in great detail. anyway this little boy came up to me and said 'Why have you got spaghetti stuck on your ear?' so I knelt down and said 'Because I'm a really messy eater' and he said 'Wow!' looking genuinely impressed.:rolleyes: So then I explained what it actually was and he said 'Wow!, You're like a spy!'.:cool:

[Psychosplodge]

Aww ceasing the glare for that makes you sound broody :rolleyes: lol

Is glaring at people genuinely a job in a museum?

Not really, I get along well with children because I don't talk down to them in that insufferable way most adults do but I've no interest in breeding at the present time.:p

Well technically you are there to safeguard the item on display and offer assistance to the public should they require it...

[energongoodie]

People post a lot of the time about work based stuff so I thought I'd join in.

Today is my first day on a big new job and it is terrifying! :(

I agree with the comments - I want this played at my wedding :cool:

[Mr Mystery]

My mate Adam got a slap off his new wife when they entered the reception to the wedding march from Flash Gordon.....

Also....don't suppose anyone caught Atlantis on BBC1 on Saturday? Sadly I forgot to watch it as I was too busy playing GTA V. Is it worth iPlayering?

Also also.....

Saturday. Played GTA V until 3:30ish Sunday morning. Sunday afternoon, nipped round my friend's to do my washing (no facilities at my flat, too small) and watched....Childs Play 3. Yet I don't feel even slightly murderous..... Have I done something wrong in this?

[eldargal]

Nope, we frown on that sort of thing in fact.

Clearly you're mentally ill, as the media repeatedly link murders to games and horror movies.

Come to think of it, I'm pretty sure I caught a bit of Marilyn Manson on Kerrang. Tainted Love (not his best cover. Sweet Dreams are made of these is vastly superior) I believe. Though that could have been Saturday.

[Psychosplodge]

And you didn't feel the urge to burn down a church and murder some nuns?

[Mr Mystery]

Nope.

Just sort of did the washing up, and hoovered.

Maybe it's because I'm not quite foreign enough? Though I'm fairly sure my generally atheistic and liberal outlook on life would make up for that?

I'm afraid I'm not a big fan of Marilyn. His covers of both the songs you mention were terrible. I also find his persona rather contrived and too obvious. It's all a bit too "try hard to be weird" and much like slipknot comes across as an attempt to commercialise the alternative.

[Psychosplodge]

MM has passed his best. I've seen him twice, and both were shockingly bad. he was so pissed/high he couldn't remember half the lyrics and spent most the time stumbling about stage muttering nonsense.
I think originally he was quite a clever performer, and found a niche that was successful.
Slipknot on the other hand are good at what they do, and it doesn't hurt that a major label got behind them and really promoted them. Though as you say they are heavily commercialised as a side effect.
But compare them to someone like Trivium, who the record company spammed the **** out of to the point that every month they were in metal hammer or kerrang, but they haven't got the same draw as slipknot, as they simply don't have the same level of talent to take advantage of the resources made available to them.

[Mr Mystery]

Prefer my older Metal.

Nu-Metal can bite my hairy, pimpled behind.

Except Marliyn Manson, as I quite like his stuff. Deliberately provocative. Unlike Slipknot in their stupid masks. Or Soggy Bizkit, because Fred Durst....

[Wolfshade]

Saw MM and Rob Zombie dual headline. Zombie was so much better.

Manson's latest album the vocals sounds shot, it is simple.

[Psychosplodge]

I never thought much of slipknot till I saw them live in 05. One of the most entertaining live bands.
I think Iron Maiden and Rammstein are tied for first in my best live bands of all time :D
Alice Cooper comes in after Slipknot.

You see I think this can be a strange thing, my favouite band to see is the Wildhearts their gigs at Wolverhampton are amazing, seen them else where and while good they have not been so much fun. But are they my favouirte band to listen to? Not always.

Has anyone seen those selfish Rich senators not giving a **** that half the american civil service won't be getting paid for the forseeable future? Awfully nice of them isn't it? Also a ridiculous way to run a country.




So just to clarify, the Affordable Care Act

Passed both the House and the Senate
Was signed into law by Obama in 2010
Was upheld as constitutional by the Supreme Court in 2012

And yet now it’s 2013 and the GOP in the House has voted 40 times to repeal it and is now going to shut down the ****ing government because they can’t handle the democratic process.

[Verilance]

They should not get paid for as long as they shut down the govt in fact perhaps pay a penalty but it wouldnt happen

truly America has the stupidest form of govt based upon a myoptic mistake by a french philospher as my politics teacher would have said

separation off power only leads to this a govt that has done almost no work in years because of deadlock

I really do despise the Daily Mail. All it does is peddle hate.

If the diary entry is accurate, it's not a massive jump to make.
But it's not like anyone would be surprised if that's the views of a confirmed marxist though is it?
What the bigger issue is is that the paper can't find enough to condemn red ed on it's own and smearing his family isn't the way to do it.
All his done is elicit sympathy for who is essentially a very mediocre leader of the opposition.

I really have no words for this, suspended for running along a side line (off the pitch) in a banasuit at half time. Of course had he been dressed as an animal it would have been fine as it is the schools mascot.

Where you have incidents of schools failing to expell/suspend children for bringing a knife to school then you have this.

Probably because it was during the sports game.

I'm just glad the story explained what a free school actually is; The terminology for different kinds of schools does tend to go a bit wacky from country to country.

They're confusing enough within the country without trying to explain them...

[Wolfshade]

Isn't it obvious.

A Public school is a private school
A State school is a public school
A Grammar school is public school that skims of the brightest and best (or those who can be trained to pass the 11+)

[Mr Mystery]

Isn't it obvious.

A Public school is a private school
A State school is a public school
A Grammar school is public school that skims of the brightest and best (or those who can be trained to pass the 11+)

And a free school is a public school funded by the tax payer, but with absolutely no local authority control.......

[Psychosplodge]

Yes, but don't forget state schools have secondary moderns, academies, high schools, comprehensive (or comp.) , technical college, sports college, and no doubt many more I'm not familiar with.

[Mr Mystery]

Tear it down. Start again.

What this country needs is a serious middle class revolt.

We're the power. We get things done. We pay, statisitically, the most tax as a group. What about us?

Smash the rich. Get rid of the genuinely idle poor. Restart our society on a fairer footing.

Anyone remember the original Huron Blackheart? The one they kitbashed in a WD, you had to buy a chaos warriors box, a chaos rhino AND a metal dark elf just to make him. HE WAS AWESOME!

[Mr Mystery]

Thought for the day....

Right wing American bigots seem convinced there is some kind of homosexual mafia running the world. Sorry. Liberal, homosexual mafia running the world.

My one question to them is......if that's true, why isn't the world considerably more fabulous????

[Kirsten]

if it is true why the hell am I still poor?

[Cap'nSmurfs]

There's an old, very dark, Jewish joke from the **** era.

Two Jews are riding the bus in 1930s Berlin. One of them is reading the Volkischer Beobachter, the official **** newspaper (it translates as something like "The Racist Observer"). His friend is aghast, and says to him, why are you reading that filth? We're being oppressed everywhere, things are getting worse every day. How can you possibly read that?

His friend calmly says, I know, I know, everywhere I look my friends are being beaten up, rounded up, spat on, thrown out of their businesses. But when I read this paper I read about how I'm amazingly clever, outrageously wealthy, and I secretly control the world!

[Mr Mystery]

if it is true why the hell am I still poor?

Not gay enough?

[Chris*ta]

Not gay enough?

I think the problem is it's a specifically gay male mafia.

Geez, even the homos aren't stupid enough to let the women be in charge ;)


A. "Kissinger played a key role in secretly bombing Cambodia "practically back into the Stone Age.""

B. "Under Kissinger's guidance, the United States government supported Pakistan in the Bangladesh Liberation War in 1971."

C. Chile.

This is all freely-available information.

How much of this was widely known when he received the prize. Also, I still think Putin is worse: He is basically a dictator.

But yeah, I really don't think any politicians are really qualified to win the Nobel prize.

hmm, do I buy some dark elves, or Horus Heresy Massacre?

[eldargal]

I would say both but that's probably not so helpful.:) Personally I'd go Dark Elves, plenty oftime to save to get Massacre before the next one comes out and you can spend some of that time painting Witch Elves! Win-win.

[Kirsten]

hmm, true. I will see what the local store gets dark elf wise, he might not get anything yet, that will make the decision for me :p

This woman is clearly the product of cross breading of a unicorn and a person:
http://christwire.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/a-unicorn-women.jpg

Now you should understand that like with many human afflictions, Satan sometimes uses his powers of sin to alter the, alleles, and codons of the body, messing up the protein secretions in such a way that improper structures form, upregulation takes place and Satan’s genotypical sin is phenotypically expressed.

My best hypothesis is that Satan found some of God’s original DNA blueprint from the unicorn skeletons (original unicorns were pure and horselike, but drowned in the flood) buried deep in the terror regions, then used that DNA to genetically evolve sin right into the forehead of the unicorn people, to create a new magical master class of humans

[Psychosplodge]

Seems legit.
But if they were pure why'd the miss the boat?

Because they refused to submit to the man, its superiors, some theologians* argue that this is a metaphore for man and God

[Mr Mystery]

Today I collected my Dark Elf book and Spell cards. I also procured Damnos and the new Gotrek and Felix novel. Yay!

[Kirsten]

I got the book, some repeater crossbowmen, some skullcrushers, and some mournfang cavalry

[Cap'nSmurfs]

I have Dark Elves and Unremembered Empire!

[Mr Mystery]

That's a random selection......

What you up to with them???

[Kirsten]

they only had one box of dark elves in, so I got some cavalry for two of my other armies instead

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

I looked at Dark Elves with indifference.

[Mr Mystery]

I looked at Dark Elves with indifference.

Me too, really can't see what the fuss is about.

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Dafuq has Mystery been on?

I actually want to do a High/Wood Elf army now.

[Deadlift]

I may grab a box of dryads and make a head start myself, maybe some of the prettier plastics and have a go.
Not that I have much other project stuff on the go, with 3 waveserpents, 10 Wraithguard, more space marines and of course my holiday swap project. Yeah should be able to fit some wood elves in :o

[Cap'nSmurfs]

My hobby focus has been all over the place lately. I used to be a strictly one-army man, now I have one big one, bits of two more, and planning another. Also want to get together some terrain... Help! What's happening!

The fuss, for me, started with the Black Dragon Dreadlord kit released with Storm of Magic. Now that the rest of the miniatures don't look like ***, it's just hard to resist! Also, I really want to play Fantasy, which is a game I've admired from the sidelines for too long, and this seems a good opportunity. :)

[Kirsten]

I don't like the black dragon personally, I find the pose really weird

Googled Avenger's Wall Lights.

a family website is selling avengers vibrators? :p

[Mr Mystery]

Probably!

The Hulk one is.....worrying!

[Kirsten]

I think I have seen them somewhere before

[Mr Mystery]

Yarp.

And now looking at a full box of Magic The Gathering Boosters for Theros...£85.79.....tempting. Very tempting!

[Kirsten]

never been a huge magic fan, I will stick to my 100% MtG win record.

[Kirsten]

I hardly think this is worth investigating. Personally I tend to think Sugar is a huge bell end, but this was quite funny

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-merseyside-24421453

[Mr Mystery]

It's something I like to dabble in.

I buy the whole booster box, as it means I'll pretty much have every card I want (barring the odd few), and stops the crack like affect of buying individuals boosters.


Plus, it means my mates can have a grab of stuff I'm not using!

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Buy a booster box and do a draft. The most fun you will have, ever.

Wolfie's catch-up comments:

1. How is commenting on labour practices in iPhone5 factories racist?
2. I thought the Big Red was reference to Bring it On (yes that is how I roll)
3a. OMG I thought it was fake, but now we know it is real
3b. Isn't a ghost, it has feet
4. Hippo Birdy 2x Ewe Kaptain
5. Bon Anniversaire Cap'n
6. I think we have too many people referencing the word captain in their handles
7. After 5 attempts the quarter was abandoned, not impressed
8. Had to take the car into the garage this morning, could be expensive :(
9. I think it may be fruit monday
10. I killed a another dragon and a giant, debating whether or not to eat its toe.

[Psychosplodge]

Don't eat it's toe, look up the potions on a wiki, giants toe is useful in making expensive potions

[Wolfshade]

I don't want to use the wiki, I will grind out every possible combination until I discover receipes :)

[Psychosplodge]

Don't do that you use it wrong and it's gone for no reward.
save it till your a better alchemist then just eat one when it'll give you all the properties.

hurrah, new phone has arrived. and it comes with a USB cable so I will actually be able to take some photos to upload here. why is it that phone companies feel the need to make the battery cover removal instructions as vague and unhelpful as possible? last two phones I have owned I have had to go online to find a proper description.

Anyone know if it's legal to buy up a second hand Black Cab, and then just use it as a private car, and not as a taxi?

Take the taxi sign off the top and any markings that say taxi and she's all yours!
I would personally love to do that and then just drive around in london confusing people.

Yep, it's totally possible to do so.

As a BOLS forum newcomer, I felt it my duty to post in here at least once!

Noel Edmonds drives a black cab (famously to illegally drive in bus lanes!) so yeah it's possible. Why you would want this over a number of better options however...

[Wolfshade]

Well yeah, it is obvious the choice is a bicycle. It is quicker to cycle than use public transport in the capital, the balance point is where you start to push over 8 miles, even then there are still (a decreasing) number of longer journeys which are quicker. Plus you can use (the majority) of bus lanes.

[Cap'nSmurfs]

I think this raises an important question.

Do you really want to be like Noel Edmonds?

[Mr Mystery]

Well of course not, but then that would also involve having to arrange an Elephant to be shot in the face with a shotgun....

On a funnerer note...picked up 'Dr Who Regenerations' today. One of only 10,000 worldwide.

[Wolfshade]

Well his estimated £75million I wouldn't mind...

[ACE01]

The other side of Taxis in London is the number of supercar taxi's registered...

[Wolfshade]

Taxis are registered to circumvent the emission charges in the capital.

[ACE01]

Indeed, though I believe they must actually be used at some point between renewals to qualify. Wouldn't mind a lift from one, just for ****s and giggles.

I suppose you could just use the taxi to drive you to and from work, one pick up, making sure it is a company deductable, claim tax back on the trip jobby :)
