Broadchurch was really good. That's about it really

will you

have to return it to the dealer if your battery needs replacing?

Latin audience?

I would have thought this would be concentrated in the Vatican rather than the US.

Not just Southampton

I've stayed here a few times - nice place http://www.hobbithotel.co.uk/ Are they going to be next? Maybe they were hoping nobody would mention them - sorry!

chore?

It certainly takes it out of you

Does that mean ...

As a Transgender Werewolf, wouldn't you just use a lamppost?

Re: huh?

No, we're in England (well I am). That's how we spell the word.

Not Strictly Accurate...

That's "Nineteen" and "its themes or characters". if you're going to use the pedant icon, you need to read your post several times before clicking 'Submit'.

Not necessarily

My son doesn't have one. Long story, but he'll always be the wild card when playing "innie or outie".

Not my fault, guv

This sounds just like Andrew Lansley saying that nurses didn't like the NHS cuts because they hadn't been explained properly. We're all too stupid to go out and buy new 3D TVs, too.

Joke

Penne

Was that your two penne's worth?

WTF?

Discrimination!

Charging younger people more for insurance? isn't that age discrimination and therefore illegal too? Let's all pay £2,000 a year and be done with it.

Illegal language

I see you can now post death threats with impunity. Good job you didn't threaten to damage an airport or you would be in trouble.

Thank you, Sir or Madam

I've never heard anyone else ever mention SINTRAN. I used to work for Norsk in the late 90s writing reports on their call management system. The technical skills I learned there became obsolete quicker than any other skillset I have acquired before or since.

Worse than that

Wasn't even "on" the moon, just near it. Meh.

Won't rename one building

but happy to rename the whole state to "Indianna"...

@AC

smile.co.uk (part of the Co-op bank) - no card reader, British call centre (think it's in Lancashire) and you can use Post Offices to pay money in. I've been with them over 10 years and never had an issue.

Sparticle

Will a particle come out announcing "I am Sparticle?" Or will it only spin to the far left?

@AC 10:49

What are the odds? About 1 in 10, apparently.

Re: Did I win?

You put a hyphen in "full-stop", so you don't win anything.

16 fingers?

That'll be handy. I assume they'll stop at 21 (or 20 for the women-only version).

Virgin help

http://www.virgindigitalhelp.co.uk/pages/Article.aspx?ArticleId=040934612103937 - how to secure your wireless network

Tells you to use WEP even though the screenshot they use has WPA as an option. First page I looked at, and the advice is bad.
