El Pibe

Messrs Lineker and Barton are apparently having a bit of a ding-dong on twitter. I gather Barton is threatening to publically out Gary's philandering ways, or 'fleet street's worst kept secret' as it's otherwise known. Barton is an absolute arse and no mistake, but that I'd quite like to see.

"xxxxxxx That is one of the nastiest posts I've ever read on this forum." Why all the kisses then?

ok ok. 2) Use lion poo, through some sort of trans-continental-atavistic-fear mechanism, foxes will avoid your garden.

Have you tried past life hypno regression therapy? I'm guessing mouse!

yeah my 37 inch LG was ?1400. Within a year equivalent tecnhology was being sold for less than half the price, I decided not to make the same mistake again!!

oh yeah, internet. It has all that stuff, but the interface is a bit cumbersome, plus I get all the catchup stuff from the virgin box so never use it. USBs and lots of HDMIs are a good idea though

totally agree re 3D, i decided non on my recent new telly. I say new, it was already a couple of years old when I got it in richer sounds last year, 4 grand down to 800 quid. It pays to follow red devil's advice and not get the latest thing immeditely. It's a philips and I can honestly say I have yet to see a better picture even wandering past the latest and greatest, and it is a huge increase in quality from my old LG, though that was nominally HD it was 7 years old when it finally gave up the ghost. It is quite bulky compared to the latest & greatest however

New Nexus. I have to say I actually quite enjoy your weird links and bonkers theories, that surety that you are party to esoteric knowledge [self-]denied the rest of us sheeple. And despite the fact that the theories themselves (and your general worldview that nothing is what it seems running counter to the quacks-like-a-duck/occam's razor approach to things) offend my sensibilities, I think I'd rather miss you if you stopped doing it. I am however left wondering why you bother doing it on these boards where you are invariably dismissed as a loon, undermined with pesky things like facts and constantly have fun poked of you. I'm sure there must be richer seams of positive feedback for you on t'interweb.

Kids love tagliatelli coated with sauce of softened (but not browned) onions done with a bit of single cream, fresh lemon juice and lemon zest. Liven with a bit of chipotle if they like that kind of thing. Incredibly simple.

"to avoid excessive pedanticness" pedantry ;-P

Bought a nice painting on Champion Hill, result.

Yaaaay!

What's the singular of sheeple?

"Not dada's ipad, pibi?os ipad" 2 and 3 months and this is a stock phrase. Yipes!!!

quod erat demonstrandum

I tried it despite having given up 20 years ago. They're coooool!

Is that because it broke and only allows 'non sequitur' or 'peurile rhetort' settings?

Just get yourself a pair of these http://itvgoggles.com/images/thumbnails/wideviewxl3_0x403.JPG

I'm actually trialling my python PibeBot to see if I can emulate myself. "Don?t you ever get tired of being wrong all the time." You sound like my dad, he's got pathological issues too ;)

http://www.informationisbeautiful.net/visualizations/rhetological-fallacies/ undistributed middle appeal to fear appeal to authority appeal to ignorance appeal to wishful thinking affirming the consequent composition burden of proof begging the question confirmation bias wow NN, you're on a roll!!!

got to love the links on there. This one's a peach http://www.sovereignindependentuk.co.uk/2012/05/10/21-goals-of-the-illuminati-and-the-committee-of-300/ Plans going well then......

It's actually quite a limited bot. I reckon I can knock up a NewNexusBot in python fairly quickly with an rss reader pointing at a few choice news sites and blogs and a limited bunch of keywords.

Does NN pass the Turing Test? Thinking about it I'm not sure it does.

actually by and large agree with most of that quids. Some minor quibbles, UK interest rates have been rock botom for ages and (thank god) haven't gone up today. Sovereign debt can be sustainably higher than most EU countries currently have them at. Some of the smaller less diversified economies were more fragile than they appeared during the boom and debt reduction realities are having to be faced up to, but if you take the bailouts out of the equation then Brown's spending boon turns out to be something of a myth.* I think worse than sovereign debt has been, to paraphrase you, 'individuals in countries' who's spending has been fuelled by cheap debt. This is certainly the case in Spain where sovereign debt remains markedly lower than the UK's. This has been facilitaed by membership of the Eurozone in places like Greece and Ireland, but I think has also been down to other factors such as deregulation, globalisation and is simultaneously symptom and contributory factor to all those lovely bubbles we've seen rise so high, only, like my dreams to fade and....oh hang on wrong thread. *although all those damn pfi contracts means he single handedly made much of the public sector pricier and worse but that's a whinge for another thread.

Oh how disapointing. I was hoping for a Foxtons, or may be an M&S. Wood Iceland consider opening a place their, I luv there frozen food?
