Although Lucca Brazzi slept with the fishes, dirty boy!!

Actually fish is the plural, fishes is the third person present isn't it? I'm having a grammatical nightmare today.

although why you'd want to make a fishing rod from fishes is anyone's guess.

Or all three could be industrious, one makes a fishing rod from wood and fishes, one builds a house from wood for shelter and the other makes a spear...you can see where I'm going with this can't you....

It was a pretty organic process to begin with then became more formalised and poor Georgia got badgered or lumbered with the organisation of it, so hats off to you Georgia for sticking with it for so long. But, much like most of the forum, it can be what the people in the community want to make of it, so perhaps its time for a new generation to do what they want to do and put their stamp on it. There were some top nights though, I'd go with Phoenix as the high water mark too.

Has anyone downloaded Limbo on XBLA? Is it as good as they say it is? Should I do it. It sort of looks like Shadow Complex meets Ico, am I even close? Anyone, anyone....Bueller?

This website is rather nifty It's a google maps mash up where historic photos are shown on google maps and when clicked upon are superimposed over street view. A date slider allows you to narrow down the time period taken, ie if you're interested in war time damage say. Sort of thing t'interweb is actually good for. http://www.historypin.com/photos/view/phid/747023/bground/:photos:feed:geo:51.5144,-0.12972:zoom:15 Can anyone tell I'm not spending all day looking after my son anymore?

Call me an old cynic, but am i the only one thinking that Cheryl's choices mig have been subconsciously steered by her past racist tendencies? I can't see any other reason for putting two girls through who didn't even manage to sing in their auditions, when the others had terrific voices. Frankly weird. Of course it's all pantomime, nothing to see here.

I have to say that Trinny & Sussanah: Boom to Bust is genuinely making me chuckle. It's lifted about a million pages from the book of Alan Partridge, but it's been well done. And hats off to the girls, they've gone up in my estimation (not hard from where they started), they can clearly laugh at themselves!

That would have to be some gymslip from Pennsylvania who likes trucks if google is anything to go by. I can't believe there's only one usage of 'oudeous' in t'interwebland!! Well, i guess that's three now.

Dual core and quad core mean having effectively 2 and four processors in your computer respectively. Fairly recent advances meant that it was possible, faster and of course cheaper to put independent cores on the one physical chip rather than have multiple [processors as such, for which their was a brief trend. I think it still holds true that laptops cant currently support more than dual core technology, probably because of heat issues, though that's a guess. The modern equivalent of Pentium 4, once Intel's flagship chip (flagchip?) is the iCorex series, i think the iCore3 is the top one, then 5 then 7; I think there may be a couple of chips with the Pentium brand still hanging around. But there are other processor manufacturers out there who have long since closed the gap, AMD being probably the most famous. Did any of that make any sense?

I was only joking about the suing Huguenot. Ouch!!

Blimey, I've just been made redundant (about 2 minutes ago), I wonder how much the forum was to blame, do you think i can sue, i believe its now win no fee these days *rubs hands in glee*

"The best bet, if you're unfamiliar with Macs, would be to go and use one for a few hours somewhere" == Spot on. I give the same advice when people ask about camera recommendations. The market is so tight and competitive these days that for me it boils down to how you get on with the interface. I'd struggle to switch from Canon to Nikon even if it was the best deal in the world because Canons are completely second nature to me now. I think the same goes for computers. Give them a go and see which you get on with. I can't really do MACs because the nerdy MS developer in me needs to know exactly what's going on under the covers the whole time and there's just too much abstraction for me, but I understand for most people who just want to get something done, whatever it be, then that's probably a dream situation.

Or buy a quad core Dell studio XPS with a lovely screen for about ?750.

I bought deus ex on steam for about a quid. The graphics and mechanics have aged badly in this post havoc world, but the atmosphere and story are so good, better than anything I can think of since.

Or did you mean he supported arsenal and was very boring, I'll let the jury decide on that one ;-)

I think you're talking to Narnia, I know all the Irish look alike and everything but pay attention.

:-) I have to say I skim read a lot of the forum these days but I didn't spot it at all. Axeman, thought it was mike, now pretty convinced it's wolf despite not doing his usual giveaways (though footie thread avoidance is one of these thinking about it) Is it because Halloween is coming soon or something?

Good use of your spider sense ther Jah!!

I was watching Wu Tang v Ninja this afternoon with my 8 month old (you're never too old to start I say) and was struck by the facial similarity between arch villain Abbot White (played by Jack Long) and Alan Partridge. It's absolutely uncanny. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3pv7kibtMw check it from about 7:10 onwards Only the crazy golden era of Hong Kong cinema can have a gold lam? ninja baddie and one with a hitler moustache drawn on in felt-tip, marvellous!!!!

Seriously, why are you here? I can't speak for everyone, but I'm pretty sure no one wants you as their whip. Which begs what are you getting out of it? If you don't like it there are plenty of other places to be. For where you see insincerity i see honesty. A good number on here know each other personally, there are likes and dislikes as in any community, but we mostly manage civility, something you have been sorely lacking Mike, errr I mean axeman, let's just say I'll give you the benefit of the doubt for the moment. Now, be a good fellow and try playing nice for a change.

The Ghost. Very enjoyable and very true to the book. Brosnan is really enjoying life after Bond isnt he. Last night caught Juno on Channel 4.Marvellous. Great writing keeps it from being the standard saccharine rom-com fare who's conventions it more or less follows, well acted and brilliantly cast.

Feels like 8-0 doesn't it Quids :-)
