Well horses in general...


That's his scene, and I'm fine with that.

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

I've been up in the air, out of my head,
Stuck in a moment of emotion I destroyed.
Is this the end I feel?
Up in the air, ****ed up on life,
All of the laws I've broken, loves that I've sacrificed.
Is this the end?

A hot pocket is like a poptart I think?

It's a savoury poptart.

When did we get that?

[Kirsten]

the government has spent years trying to get rid of hate preacher abu qatada, australian man disrupts the boat race, straight home for you boy-o.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-23025311

[Psychosplodge]

No human rights lawyer wanting to line his pockets wanting to defend him there though is there?
Seems excessive to me, he got in the way of some posh boys in boats, the only person really at risk was himself wasn't it?

[Kirsten]

it does seem excessive yes, the way the home office are reporting it you would think he had tried to blow up the boat race.

on the other hand I do think his thing about protesting is bollocks. should immigrants be allowed to protest? no. citizens can protest the laws of their country, wherever they may have originally been born. immigrants do not get to protest the laws/society/government of somewhere they have chosen to come to.

[Psychosplodge]

True, that's a reasonable point.
On the other hand is it because he's an easy headline considering it's far easier to deport to the relatively civilised Australia?

Going to see that tomorrow eve, I hope it's not too bad. I've heard mostly positive things but apparently the ending is a bit controversial.

Also, beef wellington for lunch :)

That's why when coworkers ask me where I want to go for lunch, my one and only response is "anywhere where my meal died screaming."

That actually works on two levels. First, it makes my dining preferences clear. Second, it ensures I don't have to waste my lunchtime locked in a pointless conversation with someone whose world view includes far too many flowers, anthropomorphic equines, and fluffy woodland critters.

it was terribly cartoony and silly, and the tank shells were slow and ridiculously parabolic even though they only travelled a small distance

Hot tea is for winter. Or to wake up in the morning. Still sans dairy. Ugh.

And a Mosque has had swastikas and EDL sprayed on it's walls.

Economic recovery can't come soon enough. The loonies always come out when they're skint.

To be fair that "mosque" is always being vandalised as it is a) in a remote location and b) has been in construnction for at least the last 10 years, it has been vandalisied as much as any other abandoned building.

[Mr Mystery]

It's more what it's be vandalised with. The odd sweary? Yeah fair enough.

But racist drivel? Not in my country, thank you very much.

And yes EDL, it is my country, as I represent the educated majority who don't feel the need to make up for our shortcomings by victimising a minority.

[Wolfshade]

Sigh. A mosque isn't a symbol of a race, nor is a swastika.
Moselem isn't a race, it is a religion and religion have been using the symbol far earlier than 1930s.

[Mr Mystery]

The intent of the graffiti is clear, and are the connotations.

EDL need to sod off, and quickly. Their claims are as ludicrous as their chants. According to the EDL, 40% of Britain is 'muslamic'. Which of course, it isn't. It's closer to 4%. Damn that pesky zero eh?

Sick to death of my intentionally peaceful existence being threatened by a bunch of under educated oiks (on all sides) attempting to stir up civil strife.

See earlier comments about turning the O2 arena into a Thunderdome, and letting them get on with it. Then bumping off the survivors.

I know, but it is important to stress these things.

As an aside.

Watching the QI last night (I think EG make like this)

The question asked was "Where is the nearest bit of the United States of America?"

The first answer given was the American Embassey in Grosvenor Square. This was wrong.

The land is still owned by the Duke of Westminster, held on leasehold (not freehold) and he was approached to sell the freehold and said he would only do so if the lands which were confiscated during the war of independence were returned to him namely Virginia.

What? You feeling fat, overly self-important with the notion that everyone should take you far too seriously and/or pander to your special interests? ;)



Have you thought about Canada, it's a bit like America without all the bad bits :D

One word ... Quebec. 'Course we have Louisiana, so maybe it's a wash.



They'll be all hot and sticky though with it being above the boiling point of water all the time.

Well it is supposed to be 117°F (47°C) here in the next day or so. Today it was only 107°F (42°C). Girls in the American South West tend to be a bit less (oh shall we say) "husky" than those in the more northern latitudes. They also tend to have attitudes.

They don't count, they're really French.

[Necron2.0]

Exactly. Well, actually, my experiences with Quebecers has been they could make a Parisian say, "Damn! That guy is FULL of himself."

beat me to it

Yeah we'd still drink tea in that :D
Are they also a weird shade of orange the further south you go or is that just here?

Don't forget things like the scouse brow though:

How can they compare it to a vajazzle? you don't generally see vajazzles being waved around in public...

Depends where you go I suppose.

Also I am doing science!

Remit from yesterday: "Go develope a new model"

[Psychosplodge]

Sounds a bit open ended.

[Wolfshade]

Wonderfully so, but I have just discovered a relationship which I am unaware of and there is nothing on google scholar with it. Now all I have to do is determine if this relationship is useful and has a causal relationship.

[Psychosplodge]

And then what will you do for the rest of the day?

[Wolfshade]

I may have to contain myself. My model is behaving as I would expect in some conditions and not in others. When demand outstrips capacity I get queues and these queues dissapate nicely, I just have some issues that while over capacity speeds are high but are preceeded by a low speeds.

And to top it of, my rivals model has failed, quite spectacularly. And GW stuff arrived day early.

By funny, do you mean special.

Like the Essex accent, it makes me assume the speaker is really rather thick, even when there is no other supporting evidence!

Busy morning Mystery?

George Osbourne criticised over his choice of burger. seriously? all the things you might disagree with about the man, and you pick the fact he ate a £10 burger?
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-23077801

[Wolfshade]

Saw that, I mean I am more disgusted that he is eating with his hands, ugh.

Apparently on the same grounds http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-23065542

[Kirsten]

yeah I saw that too, was thinking of posting it yesterday. not exactly the raciest number

[Psychosplodge]

oh noes a dress! I can see her ankles :eek:

There's plenty of places that charge more than £10 for a burger.

[energongoodie]

Down the road from me.

I had a ******* 100USD burger in New York once with foie gras in once.

On a related note, I had my first ever McDonalds burger recently. It was ok, not sure what the fuss is about them being horrible, it wasn't. I like pickles.

First you see the ankles, then you see the kneecaps, then you see the navel.

Get me when I'm having a burger craving and I could devour it.

[Wolfshade]

If that place wasn't within my exclusion zone I'd take on that challenge

[Psychosplodge]

There's no taste to a mcdonalds burger, I prefer burger king cause at least they flame grill it :D

But considering I have them plain I can actually taste the meat and not all the sh!t they add between the meat and bread.

[Wolfshade]

Someone needs to teach the beeb what "Rock" music is, big hint if you are including Paul McCartney/U2 you are doing it wrong.

[Psychosplodge]

Yeah that chart makes no sense. A lot of it's pop...

[Kirsten]

the problem with them is that they are so small, you practically inhale them and they satisfy no hunger, and just leave your wallet feeling empty...

awful lot of bands on that list that are not rock at all

[eldargal]

That's true, I had to eat two large fries to stop being hungry. Nice fries though, suitably crispy.

[Psychosplodge]

That must have been well timed, they can be anything from nice to cold horrid soggy things to cold things you could snap like a twig.

Now the triple whopper with a couple of portions of fries...

[eldargal]

Hehe 'whopper'. I've never had a Buger King burger.

[energongoodie]

Please elaborate on the parameters of your zone.

Within the M25...

I find that McDonalds chips with KFC chicken is the least worst option when it comes to fast food. Though I'd rather have Tikka Chicken and Chips from the local Chippy

I have been known to eat "multiple" Big Macs :o the "Big Tasty" is my favorite.

[Kirsten]

do you stack them all one on top of another and eat the whole thing at once with a cartoon burger shape moving down your neck?

[Deadlift]

Lol, chewing is optional ;)

[Kirsten]

hardly enough to chew on

[energongoodie]

I don't know if you guys know but KFC changed their chips fairly recently from the larger softer chip to a more Mcdonaldsy style crispy frie. I like them but I miss the old ones.

At motorway service stations I find it is easy to mix and match your Macy D's, BK's and KFC's to get the best of the best with honours combos.

[Deadlift]

KFC, I like the Zinger tower burger. I'm hungry now. It's a good job these places don't deliver.

[Kirsten]

the zinger is nice, but you can buy very similar chicken pieces in super markets for a lot less money and make your own

[energongoodie]

Zinger Tower, no lettuce for the win.

[eldargal]

Huzzah, time to go pick up some pu ssy!

By which I mean I'm going to visit a cat breeder to inspect her kitties and possibly bring some home.

Is Floptimus Prime a good name for a cat? I think so.

Aw **** (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Floptimus%20Prime)

Holy God best cat name EVER!

[Kirsten]

hmm

you read the sport?

[Kirsten]

nope, was on my facebook news feed

[Wolfshade]

yeah yeah...

[Kirsten]

I don't read any newspapers, I already pay for the internet. I am not sure I have actually ever bought a newspaper come to think of it. the headline is every possible shade of awesome though.

[Necron2.0]

<Regarding American South Western girls>:

Are they also a weird shade of orange the further south you go or is that just here?

No. Actually, living in 117°F heat is akin to living in -60°F cold, in that in both cases no sane person sets foot outside. Those that do, or those that intentionally tan, tend more toward a varying shade of cedar.

[eldargal]

No pus sies for eldargal, they need to have injections and stuff or something.:(

[Psychosplodge]

Mad dogs and Englishmen, Necron ;)

So next week EG?

[DrLove42]

Sleeepy

[Wolfshade]

Slightly damp out there. Glad I've got my emergency shorts

[Psychosplodge]

I was disgustingly awake at 5:30, but could barely move at 7:15 when the alarm went off :mad:

[eldargal]

I habitually wake up at ten to five every morning which is a special kind of hell for someone who is naturally a late riser. Stupid trained habits. On the bright side shooting tasty birds isfun.

[Wolfshade]

So you can obliterfry them?

Yep.

white dwarf out over here a day early rather than a week late for once. apocalypse stuff too expensive for me unfortunately. had planned to buy the book but not for £45. Farsight Enclave supplement for tau though, surprised to see another one so soon.

[DrLove42]

Farsight Enclave? Interesting.

[Kirsten]

yeah, certainly a big surprise to me. in the digital section of the white dwarf just like iyanden was last month, so I would expect a hard copy in a few weeks

[Deadlift]

Day off today. Just myself and the youngest. Started out with a full English in the pub, then down to the park. Then we went to see Despicable me 2. It was his 1st time to the cinema and he had a blast.
Back home now and just chilling before having to do the school run.
It's been a good day so far :)

[DrLove42]

I'd be interested in reading Farsights fluff, but dont think i'll be having it
