Much as I don't want to agree with that...
... I agree with that.
Yes
I recommend Lamebook.
I don't work for them; I just like to spend 10 minutes a day laughing at the stupid.
3 films
If he released the two trilogies separately the huge disparity would finally convince him that the last 3 (or first, as it were) films are utter shite.
Why?
You've got to admire him. No way could I sit through an entire Jenifer Aniston movie, no matter how much money I could make off the knock-off DVDs.

Apart from the sport, I agree
It's good at sport, rubbish at everything else. I've really no interest in what the "Great British Public" has to say about anything. And if their phone-ins are anything to go by the country's full of knuckle-scrapers from Dagenham who blame immigration for everything.

Me too
Telly is pretty much all shite. Radio 4 is fantastic. All IMO, of course.

It's the 80s all over again
My ZX Spectrum used to play hell with Radio 1 when it was on Medium Wave.

I'm not sure when, but...
I'd take a guess that *legally* an unmarried girl becomes a spinster as soon as she is old enough to be married.
When my (then) girlfriend and I arranged our wedding, the registry office legal papers referred to her as a spinster. She wasn't happy at all.

@Dr Anonymous Coward
I'm neither jealous nor ignorant. I'm just not in the least bit interested that you spent a few years extra at University, whatever it is you did.

Take it from me
Even us lowly Misters know to steer clear of iTunes. Once was enough

PhDs
Unless you're actually giving medical treatment to people, calling yourself "Dr" is just pretentious; as is sticking long strings of letters after your name.
Went to school a bit longer than the rest of us? So what. Get over your selves.

Yes
When there are plenty of other countries with sane immigration and better gun control. I should say so.
There are bits of the US I'd like to see. In the meantime, Peru and elsewhere can have my tourist £££
Posted in Channel 4 4OD to hit PS3
Great news!
Do C4 still have good programmes? As most of my telly watching is iPlayer on the PS3, I've lost touch

Pace notes
I've not got a sat nav and I'm not getting one until I find one with a stressed sounding Welshman reading the directions like rally pace notes.
Tea Party Caucus
Was it just me that read it as ""Tea Party Circus"?
I thought not.
What they should've done
What they should've done is given them all Scalextric if they're that desperate for toys.
P45s for some, toys for the elite
That £90k saving sounds like complete shite to me.

Magnificent bodging
Lovely stuff Reg. It's great to read of some proper boffinry. Boffinry with bits and bobs from the "bits of string" drawer.
Wow
I bet even 419 scammees are thinking this woman is thick.
Pathetic
If I didn't spend so long on the Reg forums I'd moan about them having nothing better to do.

@Big-nosed Pengie
"Think different" aka "manage your expectations".
Security
Even with asking for a PIN at random, contactless payments will still make my future debit card more attractive to a potential mugger. Not a smart move (and not that the banks would give a shite either way).

A victory for common sense and decent lager
Congratulations to Proper Bud*! In celebration I might try the 3 Budvar thing tonight.

A design of stunning awfulness
Nah, they scrapped Vista. Windows 7's not so bad.

Classified data
My arse "none of the stolen devices contained classified data".
Cover up
The church has spent years covering up all that child abuse. It's only fair that the faithful cover up, too.

BT: Bunch of Twunts
If it wasn't for iPlayer, software updates and whatnot I'd tell them to go screw themselves and go completely mobile.

Flashblock + Streetview
You can whitelist Google Maps' URL
(On Windows) go to Tools > Add-ons. Click Flashblock's options, select whitelist and add maps.google.co.uk (or whichever Google Maps you use) and hey presto, you have Streetview

That is all
Re: Over the top?
"On a personal level I have seen photographers taking illicit 'up skirt' shots,"
With DSLRs? Talk sense!
Plod's out of control
Somebody should remind this bunch of Gene Hunts that they work for us.
No downvote required?
But downvotes are traditional in iThing comments; no matter which side you're on or how sensible your comment.
I'm not making any claims to sensible comments, BTW, but some commentards have.

Here's hoping...
...though I fear it's the exception, rather than the rule.
I'll happily eat my hat if this common sense continues and sorts out the USA's laughable patents system.
Which party?
I think we can all make an educated guess at that...
It's their loss
No, no, no. Ignore the poster, above. Stick to the fizzy piss and save the proper beer for me!
It is a fork
In fact Linus has said "nice fork" or words to that effect.
I'll help
I'll do it for a few quid. I bet a few other fellow commentards would, too. Just check our posting histories for references.
PS WHY IS THIS STORY IN REGHARDWARE? IT'S GOT JACK TURD TO DO WITH HARDWARE YOU HALF-WITTED ASSCLOWN. GOD THIS SITE SUCKS. UTTER SHITE, REG!
Anti-stupid
So instead of wasting thousands of plod man hours, they tax it and make money? If only a few other authorities would follow suit.
(Personally I'm not that arsed about drugs, one way or another - I'm just opposed to stupidity.)
