Re: Benson

... What have the Martians ever done for us?

Just to repeat...

It's in Bootnotes.

Or have IQ levels taken a dip today [possibly in the commentards section]?

Re: Frank Doberman character on Armstrong...

"It's a NICE suit, but not a SPACE suit!

It does NOT contain an intricate system of tubing for the collection of bodily waste!" :-D

From memory, so probably not accurate. :-D

Re: You had to explain the meaning of exoplanet?

"A planet with its core on the outside?"

Wouldn't that be an exo-core planet?

I assumed exo-planet refers to a planet being outside something, in this case our solar system.

"Exo" = outer.

"Planet" = well...planet.

Re: Snugsburys Famous Ice Cream

Definitely clutching at straws, man.

Re: awwwwww

Or a Turtlenator! :-D

Icon appropriate to discussion.

Re: Normalization with the real world......

"and on the TV there is the 9 PM watershed."

After which ANYONE with a television set can access the material broadcast. There is no filter in place. So it is the responsibility of the parents to prevent their precious kiddywinks from seeing the smut.

Just as it should be the responsibility of the parents to prevent those same kiddywinks from seeing the smut on the internet by supervising them when they are online.

It's very simple: Don't allow your children to have a computer in their bedroom, just as my parents didn't allow me to have a television in my bedroom when I was a child. If you only allow your child properly supervised access to the medium by which such things can be viewed you control their access and you know they are not seeing anything they shouldn't.

As for cinemas and WH Smith: There is no catch all filter in place. There are, however, adults providing proper supervision of the children in order that they do not come into contact with the grumble mags and flicks. (Are you spotting a connection yet?)

Really, if you can't handle the responsibility of bringing up a child properly, don't have kids.

Re: Nothing to contribute

Cease these terrible jokes!!

Re: I'm ashamed of Reg readers

I found myself in one of their elevators in a hotel in Portugal many years ago.

Made me giggle. :-)

Re: Mammoth burgers, perfect for the Merkin market.

...in the picture above the counter, but is the size of a small coin when placed in your hand. ;-)

Re: Hard G, Mr Wilhite (what sort of name is that anyway?)

Folk who say "Snezz" are surely pronouncing the acronym SNES (Super Nintendo Entertainment System.)

Would it be OK to say "Sness"?

Re: Au-pair in a tank...

THINK!

Well, here it is: The pink panzer.

The rinky-dink panzer.

And it's as plain as your nose..........

That it's the one and only, truly original, panzer-pink-panzer from turret to track!!

Hmm, I think I lost it a little toward the end there. :-/

Still, I guess that's my earworm sorted for the day! :-D

I'll let Father Ted explain it....

Re: What's that in square fettuccine? And who owns the patent on the file format?

It isn't dragging, it's panning.

You move the mouse in the direction in which you want the "camera" to pan, hence the arrow that appears.

If you were dragging it you'd get the grabbing hand cursor, I'd have thought.

Big Brother because I've not yet found anyone doing anything untoward in any of the windows......... But I'm going to keep looking. :-D

Re: Will nobody suggest the hybri scalextric option?

I envisage a full size version of the Race 'N' Chase I never got as a kid.

Can't wait for the tipping bridge/jump section. :-D

Re: Robocowboys

Ah, the old robot tooth-drier.

*inhale through teeth* "That's gonna cost, guv'nor!" :-D

Re: 666

Revelation 13:18 - "Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six."

The wording differs slightly in different versions of the Bible (King James, New International, etc), but it's there.

Or have I missed some very subtle trolling here? ;-)

"Maybe someone who thought that computer should actually work rather than overheating every three minutes..."

A bit Red Arrows, was it? :-)

Re: How do we know that it came from Mars?

UUULLAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

And what's that floating on the top? :/

Re: Curiosity 2 would meet it's father?

"Wouldn't that cause time and space to explode or something like that?"

Um, no. I meet my father on a fairly regular basis and have done for over 40yrs now and, to my knowledge, time and space have not yet exploded.

Re: Annual remake?

"This film will be a revolution. It will be released in iMMersion - the patented novel all-sensory media format whereby iPhotons are propelled at extraordinary velocity until they dramatically collide with a screen coated in purest iSilver resulting in a pan-spectral iPicture that quite literally reflects into your puny mortal eyeballs."

iBalls, surely?

Re: Orcmobiles.

No, that's trolls.

Orcs drive BMWs. ;-)
