"I thought that was the Islamic version of Poundland... "

Beware of their cheap shoddy knock-offs. I don't care how they brand their products - you can't get one virgin for a quid, let alone 72 of them.

"There are some excellent PR people"

Indeed, some PR people are dead.

Re: "You're BENDING it WRONG "

That's the point. Gou is saying that the iPhone 6 isn't bending at all, reality is just distorting around it. It's like watching Chemical Ali at work.

"Here are some other fun challenges young Bitcoiners can do in their spare time!"

- Find a way to leave the house and meet girls!

Bitcoin never ceases to amaze me. So much intelligence and ingenuity poured into being colossally stupid.

"Where are the $7000 hammers, the $1000 screws and bolts?"

They weren't needed, thanks to one weird trick discovered by a MOM. NASA hates her!

"making space for something more useful"

Like payday loan companies and cheque cashing bureaux? Letting agents and bookies aren't half as bad as those bastards.

"They should've retired after "All That You Can't Leave Behind"."

But surely the new Apple tool means you can leave it behind?

"This is Olga. She is shot-putting champion. Have nice month in orbit."

Do not be fearing, little Western man. Before date I shave leg, armpit *and* chest!

"it's a wonder you didn't get a couple of bullets to the head."

Be patient, EE had to see the results before commissioning hitmen.

"These guys owe me a joystick"

No, they don't. In fact, Epyx sports games were best known for not being joystick thrashers. Their preferred control systems were rotational and/or rhythmic.

"At least someone is making money off the stupid this way"

There are already laws to defend the mentally handicapped aganst sexual exploitation, but raping their wallets is OK in your little world I guess?

The people who go to payday loan companies are mainly desperate, not stupid. They're taking the loan so they can pay the rent or eat. Sure, there will be the odd cretin who goes to Wonga so he can buy a PS4 and those people deserve whatever they get, but in the main payday loan companies are morally equivalent to a man offering a homeless woman a bed for the night if she'll fuck him.

"Right now, you're pikers but gaining fast."

If we're still small compared to Americans, surely we're pikelets?

"you are assuming the English would vote to keep the union. Where's the evidence of that?"

Several large polls have been conducted on the subject, and they all show that support for the Union is even higher in the rest of the UK than it is in Scotland.

"referring to Jesus in your headline for the article isn't in good taste and objectionable"

I agree. Keep up the good work.

"Does anyone know why it will take 9 months for the full data download to occur?"

That's how long it will take for Starbucks to set up a franchise.

"If Scotland get independance, I'll be the first one to move there."

I'll swap you - if Scotland gets independence, I'll be the first to leave. Take a look at the report on Scottish independence in the current issue of the Economist. Salmond's plan for independence is to spend all the oil money and hope it brings in business. Students of history will note that in general terms this is painfully similar to the Darien Project, where Scotland overcommitted its existing resources to New World colonisation in the hope that this would bring in great wealth. The gamble didn't pay off, and the result was... Scotland having to sign the Act of Union.

"Windows 7 isn't easy to purchase anymore, if at all."

Yes, but there are ways to find a copy if you're willing to put in the effort. Try this plan:

1) Go to obscure online retailer www.amazon.com.

2) Search for "Windows 7" in Software - the site search engine should automatically recommend this department.

3) Buy the item at the very top of the page.

It gets slightly more complex if you want Pro or Ultimate. Then you have to perform an intermediary step where you scroll down to find the specific item you want, as it is further down the first page.

Re: Marin and San Francisco counties both screwed the pooch.

Perhaps Chicago was selected because it is a more wretched hive of scum and villainy?

"Well, as long as they use plenty of Crisco..."

I'd rather see AT&T fall foul of consumers using plenty of Drogo.

"Downvotes or not, this is a valid comment."

Yes, it is. YouTube are trying to get something for nothing, or at least as little as they can get away with.

So it's a pity that your comment had to be flavoured with the "internet piracy is killing music" crap that we hear all the time from RIAA and their cronies - something that has been proven false time and again by indie artists discovering that giving some of their music away for free on the web actually increased their sales.

Internet piracy reduces the margins of corporations churning out bland drivel. The people being affected by YouTube's musical land grab are not affected by it half so much.

"Who down-voted Cliff ?? "

Some guy called Tobergta, I think.

"Which begs the question, how come gecko feet don't get clogged with dust?"

And the even more pertinent question: why are we sending humans into space to retrieve satellites instead of specially trained geckos?

"Should be "Anyone that can read""

Well, yes. But while anyone who can read can get the information, only criminals can use it because using it is the crime.

Kudos to the bank for issuing the kids with an excuse note, but I can't imagine how it went down with the school. "Please excuse X and Y for being late into school this afternoon. They were here with us at the Bank of Montreal, trying to explain why we shouldn't call the cops on them."
