Re: No change

It looks a bit different and so you're flouncing off into the sunset? Get a grip.

Re: Memories ...

HEAD CRASH!!! Run for the hills!

Re: 19TB is a lot of porn

Ick. I really don't want to see every pore and blemish. Soft focus exists for a reason, you know.

Re: Jail time or the highlands would have been better

"nothing to show for it"

He's not picking up soap in a US penitentiary. Also, I suspect he'll be looking a serving a dime or more (I watched all of The Sopranos, you know. Boom, bad-a-bing, etc, etc). The US authorities will want serious payback after being embarressed like this. Just look at poor Bradley/Chelsea Manning :(

Icon is Kim after 6 months of prison food.

Re: Finally a use for Zoolander.

I'll see your Zoolander and raise you a Highlander 3. Never has a franchise gone downhill so far, so quickly....

Re: errrm....

S'a larf, innit.

And I think that's the beginning and the end of the explanation.

Re: This one's my favourite

That's wonderful. Not difficult to guess which one of them is telling porkies.

Re: Good Grief

Maybe, but are you really using the same password to shout "Apple is better than Android" (or vice-versa) as to access PayPal?

If so, you're a moron, and it would be pretty pathetic to blame El Reg when some villain pays for a truckload of ebay tat using your credentials.

John Lewis

Not that is a Bobby Bonanza price. I'd like a Tab S or a Nexus 9, but for £150 less, this is a clear winner.

Now to see if the missus is up for buying me my Christmas present early...

Re: Do you have to...

It would certainly put you on the right career track without derailing your other options.

Re: Yep, that will work...

Fun to be had for a tech-savvy crim (or terrorist) by inverting the fire/no-fire rules. Imagine the hilarity when every police officer and SWAT team member finds their weapons disabled while the bad guys can spray bullets with impunity.

WTF, America? WTF?

Only until we fire up the (Mr) fusion plants.

Thanks, it's the one with 88mph written on the back.

Re: TAX DODGER!....excuse me...TAX EXILE!

WTF? Did the vacuum cleaner pack up just as you were in the vinegar strokes?

Re: FUCKIN LONDON AGAIN!

I've always found I get better mobile data services anywhere but London, especially when in Zone 1. Just too many devices soaking up limited bandwidth.

Re: Who defines terrorist ?

Any excuse to show Groundskeeper Willy.

Good question. You'd need at least two dimensions for form the queue.

Licorice

I sincerely hope not. Forums will be choked with reams of pointless wittering on whether it's licor-ISH or licor-ISS.

The former is clearly correct and anyone who says otherwise is a moron. [See! It's happening already!!]

Re: Heh

Thanks for taking the time to write that. Jolly interesting.

Re: Chump change?

"Still helps them make a loss in Europe (excluding Ireland), so less tax to pay. So a win for Google."

So you'd rather be paid £10k a year and avoid income tax than be taxed on £40k a year? It's a thought, I suppose...

Re: signed-up for free trial in France - still feel it is bad value for money

Re: The Good Wife

To my (and my good wife's) irritation, the latest season and subsequent seasons will only be available on Amazon Prime. They bought exclusive rights for a mind-boggling amount of money.

Re: Kaboom?

Commiserations. Still, at least you can supplement your cheese with a smoke and a pancake.

Re: Looking on the bright side...

Oh good, more charity shops paying no business rates and selling tat. Just what my high-street needs.

Re: In other news

Immigrant Bosons On Benefits Cause Cancer And Falling House Prices

He does love 'developers'

Really? Have you, by any chance, got any evidence of that fact...

Re: Apple school of marketing?

You have 20 seconds to comply ... I am now authorised to use extreme suction.

Re: It really doesn't matter

+1 for the last sentence, although I'd add "arrogant and self-important".

A spy lies. More at eleven. --->
