For that left field eccentric vibe?
Didn't realise the average tramps are avid El Reg readers using libraries to keep abreast (ahem) of LOHAN and PARIS news. You learn something new every day...
Re: Cold winters, Wet summers
Reminds me of Carry on Cleo:
"Hail, Mark Antony!"
"Hail - snow, rain, thunder, lighting - the lot!"
Never did believe in platform lock in myself. After all, if I switch to a different OS and I return 2 years later, my apps and other purchases will still be available. Nothing is really lost...

Re: Bah
Looking at that, I had to do a double take and wonder if I was seeing a still of Martin Landau in Space: 1999
A crawl of every .uk domain? Hmm, wonder what seedy or ancient sites that will dig up...
Venison has a lot going for it. I love it and try to have it where available. It's lean, rich and lower in fat than the main meat groups.
Tuck in!

Also, since you're in London, head to Carnaby Street and to Camellia's Tea House. Some lovely teas there for the real tea connoisseur (Irish Mountain blend is particularly smooth and rich) and they're all loose. None of this bag nonsense you see these days...

Suggest you try Clipper English Breakfast blend - nice brew.
Re: Good luck
Erm, she said she'll be leaving it behind? Are you trying to steal it? Are you a secret apple fan?
Anna, here's a pint for amusing headlines at the very least!
Re: Alternative solution
It could work, but then you'd have to put up with it screaming "MY VISION IS IMPAIRED!" whilst it sprays the area with weapons fire...
Re: Sweeney
You are L Ron Hubbard's sweaty bedsock and I claim my £5
Sounds like he has a case of Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia
Re: Not just for loyalists
Definitely with you here. I've had both and iPhone and (currently) an Android phone. My contract is due in a few months and I have no desire to use either of the above nor a WinPho8. The new Blackberries however, I think we just have a contender!
Well, good news for all those retired Pravda reporters - there may be a new job for you all soon...
Now he just needs a cave to store it in...
Re: Games 'n guns link?
Apparently they don't make Wattz 2000 rifles...
Please let it be youtube or a google search app!
Am I the only one that finds this just a little bit disquieting?
Nice. I'll be looking for a new phone mid this year and am not liking the big two. Don't like the look of WinPho8 but from what I've seen of BB10, it looks pretty decent. I think my next phone will be a BB...
Seems an extreme way to avoid going to the gym and changing ones diet...
Oh my god, those designs. How I don't miss the heady days of late 1990's websites.
Didn't spot any mention of metaspy - a funny little site where you could view what people were currently searching for. Lets just say a lot of innocence was lost...
Re: Requisite pop culture references
You forgot to mention the Cybermen. Apparently, the drilling rig is just a cover so that Cyberagents can install energy transfer equipment to help save Mondas at the expense of earth...
Re: Don't be evil!
Why? What has your foot done?
Re: I love hubble photos
Well said. For me, oddly, I find it rather comforting. The endless great unknown, so full of mystery. Who knows what's out there and what is happening right now at that galaxy in the lower right, if even it still exists...
Dishonoured is a brilliant game. Loved playing it on extreme difficulty - reminded me of why I enjoyed the Thief series. Not too sure about the new DLC for it though...
Definitely interested now. I'm due for a new phone in the new year and this will be one to consider..
Also, don't underestimate the power of the "Sunk Cost Fallacy". A psychological flaw that many of these online game peddlers use to hook more cash out of you...
RIP Patrick. A great man and you'll be missed. Truly an inspiration to Boffins everywhere!
"Appointed by Gordon Brown"
Those four words are enough...
Re: What is it with Microsoft?
Technically, in Microsoft's case, it's known as Foot-in-mouth syndrome...
I've seen a rise in people using the following as a password lately: xsw21qaz
Yes, it is that easy to spot...

This is one of my pet peeves. People jabbing, physically, at your screen when they want to show you something. It drives me up the wall. Also, why is it, only the most grubbiest bastards that do it the most. You know the type; their scent makes your eyes water at 20 metres, you can see them picking their noses and gums (usually in order) making a beeline for your desk. Before you know it, your screen is covered in various biologic substances, you want to vomit as their foul breath washes over you and you have this powerful urge to spray Dettol into their faces (and probably have them scream "It Burns! It Burns! The Hygiene!").
So, despite all the hype, all the guff, Windows 8 really has had much of an impact at all. Is it too early to call it the next Vista?
As long as we don't mutate to an extend where we'd need to be encased in bonded polycarbide armour...
Re: Best use of 'goatse' ever
To help you understand, just google goatse and switch to image view - that should explain everything...
Heh Heh Heh
I really want to like the Windows phone, really I do. I don't like iPhones for being far too locked down and I feel that my Android phone is tracking me in everything I do. I was looking at a Nokia as a third alternative partly to support the last few European phone maker and partly to escape Apple and Google. Everytime I see something I like from WP8, something new happens to put me off.
Suppose I could look at getting a blackberry. However, that'd mean I'd become a rimboy...
Just waiting for the next flood of paranoid hippies decrying putting nuclear fuel in space. Apparently, they reckon that thermonuclear reactions going off in space shouldn't be allowed and they don't want to pollute outer space with gamma ray producing material...
Interesting. For me, the downside to all projectors was the bulb lifespan and replacement cost.

Re: Secondlife Is still Alive.
Ahhh, second life. A place to go for those with no life in order to try and create one.
Only, they end up creating weird bizarro sexual fantasy worlds...
Re: Personally,
You forgot the:
"Yours
- Tunbridge Wells"
Re: Natural support with estate?
Oh my GOD! What hell is this? I don't know whether to downvote you or upvote you. Either way, away with you foul song! It's worse than getting rick rolled...
Could be worse I suppose. Could be shatners rendition of lucy in the sky...
D'oh! Playboy should have said Playmobile. Stupid Freudian slips causing me to type rubbish!
Wonder how much tracking this plug in does? I wouldn't put it past facebook to insert some nefarious monitoring tool to see which websites you visit. Before you know it, a facebook page has been created for you listing your favourite websites, including sites listed under the "Gentleman's Downloads" category!
Re: Hmm..
More like facepox...
"El Reg accused of lasering rivals"
Its like the kebab wars all over again!
What next? El-Reg altered Rise of the Machines controlled Playboy units invade and sabotage American Challengers - University block reduced to smoking rubble. Nearby digital toilet suspected!
