taking the piss

is all very well, but you can't knock the scale and complexity of this experiment. also, if the higgs is not found now, it never will be no matter how large an accelerator is built...

Dan

can someone please explain to me

why sms is so expensive?

@Ian Ferguson

yes ian, exactly right. its high time the supermarket chains in this country made dog meat available to the masses. i've always said us stuffy, unadventurous brits need to bloody well cast aside our conservative tastes and eat more domestic animals. personally, i'd like to see hamsters, guineau pigs and cute kitty cats on the menu in mcdonalds too. let the cavery commence.

Dan

i don't like the look of

that precocious little bastard.

Dan

poor old muslims!

always copping the shitty end of the stick.

Dan

holy hell

she looks a tad troubled.

surely

the iphone is so flipping versatile it works any way up, down or sideways.

@Mr Brush

i bet you're pretty chuffed with that, eh?

Dan
Thumb Down

that fucking woman

has she never heard of the phrase "dignified silence"?

Dan

lamb flaps

'nuff said.

Dan

one of our dinosaurs is missing

scoff all you like, you still can't trust the bastards.

Dan

perhaps

and "and what do you think you're up to comrade" might have been a less extreme initial reaction.

Dan
Thumb Down

perhaps they should

concentrate on understanding why these silly bastards want to kill us in the first place. act, don't react. no, thats too simple, too obvious. ignore me.

Dan

i'd do two years

so they couldn't get their mucky paws on my stuff.

boy king comes to london

immediately has run in with tube ticket tout, pays over the odds for everthing, generally made to feel wholly unwelcome...fucks off back to tomb.

wheely stupid

as jonathan ross might say.

the guy must have been driven to distraction at this point, before actually taking a gun to his car, completely nuts in fact. still, theres plenty of milage in this story for taking the piss, if anyone wants to go down that road. lucky it was only a hub that slowed him down, he might have ended up gunning the engine. imagine he'll be treading carefully for a while. for anyone wondering where the IT angle is here, its in the boot.

oh fuck me.

bet the kid

is really beating himself off about it

Dan

i for one

cannot wait to see this unfold in the media, doubtless it'll be a complete mess - cost overruns, crashes, a plethora of companies all over the world being involved, then dropping out, limited but overly touted 'successes'. great stuff.

Dan

the trouble with the avengers

and most of the other remakes of old classics, is that they try to make them too *big* - overembelish them and lay on shit loads of naff cgi - completely losing the charm, style and identity of the original. am i missing the point? is it not possible to develop a complete original idea, rather than mess with a classic?

mind you, if anyone can make a decent go of it, its del Toro.

"I want to say I love my writers. In honour of them today, I'm not going to do a monologue."

Well, thank fuck for that.

Dan

who gives a shit?

tv has been dominated by this trite load of wank for too many years now.

Dan

imagine

the offline processing power of modern cars. all linked by bluetooth. discuss.

Dan

the australians

have an army?

Dan
Thumb Down

meanwhile

thousands of defenceless dolphins slaughtered, the bloody savages.

Dan

just the facts

this sends a clear message to us all. if you are considering a criminal career, murder, blackmail, drugs, armed robbery, people trafficking, burglary are all safer options than knocking off a few dvds.

Dan

@The only reason your shed is invisible

surely "ivor headache" would work better?

Dan

burial mounds

that woman's knockers will be around long after she, and indeed the rest of us, have shuffled off.

Dan

they will

be after our women next

Dan

at least

they're not living up to the ludicrous fictitous sterotypes created by cohen.

Dan

@That's

not really.

Dan

this will come to nothing

someone else will put the site back up, things will carry on as before.

meanwhile the investigation has cost £1000s and crack dealers walk the streets unmolested.

Dan

how utterly

disappointing.

Dan

Never a truer word said

"This great country is being ground down by people who won't play by the rules, so we all have to suffer with these ridiculous measures."

Amen to that brother.

Dan

@Is there a new writer onboard?

not in the least bit tedious, you chump.

Dan

when stars collide

it is like celestial celebrity wife swap.

Dan

@A site full of geeks an no Python quote yet?

"not that im homophobic or anything..."

my cousin is a gay!

Fantastic, you couldn't make it up.

interesting

how any comments criticising the mccanns were removed.

Dan

all depends on the type of crash, apparently

from: http://www.netcomposites.com/news.asp?3306

"Research at Farnborough in the 1990's indicated that if carbon fibre composite material is shattered in the absence of fire there will be little or no release of respirable fibres. If you burn carbon fibre composite material without subjecting it to high energy impact there will be little or no release of respirable fibres. However, if you subject carbon fibre composite material to high energy impact while simultaneously burning it with a high temperature flame - typically 1000ºC (typical aircraft crash conditions) significant quantities of respirable fibres may be released."

But the best bit:

"Post Crash Management Systems highlight that whilst they are aware of the hazards of carbon fibre particles following an impact and fire situation, the company are still investigating and evaluating the effects of carbon fibres on the resipratory system. To this end John Andrews would welcome any suggestions or information from members of the composites industry dealing with carbon fibre."

Dan

who will end up buying this?

a bunch of cock-ends, thats who.

Dan

you can't pollish a turd

doesn't matter how it is sold, shite music is still shite music. punting blunt on myspace already awash with an ocean of dross will only see him drown, or be blown straight out of the water by the .01% of listenable stuff.

Dan

its a

feckin waste of time anyway.

Dan

@Claus Møller

mmm, interesting...CUCKOO.

Dan

far as i understand it

this idea has been kicking around for a long time, design in place, company ready to build new sarcophagus - only sticking point was funding.

Dan

re: Title

Hey,

Thanks for setting me straight on that one, you are a shining example to us all.

Good luck and keep up the good work!

re: the are of reading

i hate people like you. so Right On, yet so utterly out of touch with reality. fact is that outside work related issues, the internet at work is a privilege. do you honestly believe people will use facebook only on breaks? office work is so crushingly tedious employees will do absolutely anything for a distraction.

here at Boredham Unlimited we have two machines in the canteen which allow unrestriced access to networking sites, only two machines for IS to keep an eye on, only accessed during breaks. problem solved.

you, my workshy chum, need a sharp rap upside the head with a rolled up guardian.

Dan

a car and three iphones?

the man's an idiot

Dan

lets us be thankful for small mercies

does this mean the end of being constantly invited to become a zombie, pirate, be pimped, sent a virtual drink or become a jedi? thank fuck for that.
