"I got the impression that even its fans found it rather tired by now."

Really? Perhaps you North Americans and your lacklustre humour don't get it, your comedy tastes are catered for by such classics as "everybody loves Rainman" or the fat delivery guy one, or possibly even a bit of good old Benny Hill, I'd say that's much more suited to our six fingered cousins.

On a more positive note, McFarlane is doing the voice of Johann Kraus of the BPRD in Hellboy II which is nice.

Erm, Translation required

Could someone please tell me what exactly that michael chap (4th post) is trying to say? One can only assume that someone's let management near the internet and they're running rampant with "reasions" for "miths", although that may be illogicle (sic).

As alien as a spell checker.

Extinct

And I thought that the South China tiger had become extinct after eating all of the Yangtze dolphins.

Oh dear

'insisted his arse be protected by a "strategically-placed star"'

Hmmm, would that be a chocolate star?

My coat I am getting.

Morons with your money

I deal with a bank who refuse to send us data via anything other than CD because they consider FTPS, HTTPS and SFTP non secure transport mediums, which begs the question what does that say about their on-line banking?

Yeah yeah

And she'll get a fine because she's famous, why bother?

Um

Would surveillance not be better off being used on the all of the civil service who keep losing all of our data? At least that way you can look back through the tapes and find out what the hell they did with it.

Alien - because Brown is alien to the concept of secure data.

"Working outside normal times and place of work is usually a sign of inefficiency, bad planning or gross overwork suggesting that staffing is inadequate, badly managed or the staff themselves are inadequate."

Yes, you've just surmised the civil service, except the overwork bit.

Ahhh but

if we were a surveillance society the surely the police would actually be able to solve crimes as they'd all be on tape? Or is it all shot on Betamax? As for that joke of an ID card plan, the only people it'll help will be identity fraudsters.

It could be worse

He could have been wearing a Manga t shirt and been arrested for kiddie porn.

Oh dear

The question "who did the floater?" just takes on a whole new life.

IE???

Sorry, no idea what that is? Oh, it's that blue e that used to sit on my desktop along with that envelope thingy, didn't I remove as much of those as possible as soon as possible? Yep, pretty sure I did, I need bloody Windows Live Messenger for work though (couldn't choose yahoo could they).

Yeah

but at the end of the day it's still a Samsung and as such will only ever be used by people who don't care about their phones.

Well

Can someone give a me a damn good reason why we shouldn't render people like this infertile? Surely it can only be a good thig for the human race?

Bah

I've lost 2 phones in my lifetime, one fell out of my pocket in a cab and the other one was stolen from my hand whilst I was talking on it by a kid on a bmx, the first can kinda be blamed on my own actions, the second, not.

Oh Dear

Bob Crowe's offered an opinion, couple that with the warm weather and we have a strike brewing.

Well

It could be worse, I noticed MI6 had an IT recruitment advert in the Metro this morning, so I went to their www.ITineverything.co.uk and it doesn't work properly with Firefox so maybe the site should be called www.ITineverythingaslongasitsMicrosoftbased.co.uk.

Alien because non MS products appear to be Alien to the civil service.

Ah

Dear old Tim, I used to go out with his son's nanny, Noah was a great kid.

Jonathon

The Times article says:

"412,000 faulty second preference votes that were not counted."

It depends what they consider flawed I would guess, I didn't enter a second vote as I thought the whole process was pointless, would that count as a flawed second vote in their eyes?

This years act

Looks suspiciously like the offspring of Sleazy P Martini and Rolf Harris, perhaps he should consider a career as Lordi's manager, it worked for GWAR.

Sitting in the office one day

And the receptionist picked up a call for one of the directors (it was her brother who was always prank calling), when putting him through she was asked who it was and what it was about, her response was "it's Jim Morrison about the Doors", the whole office fell about laughing but she just sat there clueless.

Hmmm

Pot, Kettle, black indeed, anyone fancy watching something in HD from another source other than Sky? Well tough shit, they own the market, and there's nothing you can do.... bwaaahhhaaahhahhhaa.

Oh dear

I haven't read Viz for a while but it sounds like Millie Tant stills exists.

Ashley - ROFL

Genius, I'd completely forgotten that innocuous little Napalm Death ditty.

Hmmmm

It couldn't possibly be that Epic Games are a one trick pony could it? I mean, they produced 2 good games, both 1st person shooters but lets be honest 1st person shooters aren't what the wii's all about are they? Maybe it's just the way you've written the article but he comes across as a very bitter sad little man and we're all probably a lot better off ignoring him.

Hmmm

The only one sheets I can find that have anything other than Iron Man on them are:

http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k300/agentbedhead/Six/ironman1.jpg

http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k300/agentbedhead/Six/ironman2.jpg

and I'm pretty sure he's not in either of them, unless he's a plane or helicopter?

I don't care

I just want them to bring out smash bros on the wii in the uk, we've been waiting too bloody long.

Utterly irrelevant

But I watched Dr Who via iplayer on my wii on Saturday night (I was a tad drunk) and it wasn't too bad at all (mind you, having a story that wasn't written by Russell T Davies probably helped a lot).

But

Where's the IT angle???

Sorry, I couldn't help it, keep up the good work, IT angle or not (but no Paris unless it's coverage of something very unpleasant happening to her).

Why should songwriters starve so others get rich?

Quite simply they shouldn't but then I'm also of the opinion that the pre-packaged cr@p that gets churned out of reality tv shows and lip synched recording studios should be fleeced to the hilt, a kind of idiot tax for the people that buy the rubbish in the first place.

What we need is more artists ready to go out on a limb and become famous by bribing DJ's with curry!!!

By the same token

Can you tell how many partners they've had by counting their warts?

Nice

Who the hell shops in PC World anyway? Do these people have money to burn?

Well

You can be as bullish as you want sunshine but I don't know anyone who's buying one until the price of the DVDs and the hardware come down.

Hmmm

Because you'll be in international airspace will it be okay to use a mobile jammer? Not that I have one of course, that would be illegal, I'm just curious.

Ahhh

For some reason I have the urge to watch "The Sopranos".

Nick 'em

Maybe they'll get pulled up by Ofcom? Oh no, that's right, it's full of BT's ex board members which is why they've never been pulled for any of their other violations since privatisation.

Yeah-ha

Just looking at them makes me think that you've identified a gene pool deserving of a darwin award.

Deja Vu?

I had that same CERN/Wormhole dream once after 15 pints and a very hefty Phall, you shoulda seen the state of my sheets in the morning..

Incidentally, if CERN can produce the sort of power to produce even a tiny wormhole I think our energy crisis may be over.

Where do I start?

I think I'll settle with " who's your daddy?".

Ahhhhh

The good old days of humming the theme to rhubarb and custard over and over again until Wiggy flipped out and started throwing books.

More hmmmm

Could it be that the discrepency is due to the government and civil service:

a) being inept

and/or

b) lying to cover up a system that doesn't work

Wouldn't be the first time would it?

Alien because that's what working technology is to the civil service/government.

Hmmm

Does anyone even use Ask.com voluntarily?

Two things

Firstly, presumably the nice white jacket that does up at the back was a freebie?

Secondly, how the feck do you type with it on?

P.S. Does the nurse wipe your dribble away every so often?

And

You can get these two to edit the video for you and your loved ones:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AC0sR5_NTFo

Seriously? Would you trust these people with any sort of technology? Your wedding videos would have dueling banjos as their background music.

Hmmmm

I believe Charles Manson is looking for a new best friend, I reckon he and Paris would be the perfect hookup.

I seem to remember

When this was first discussed they were going to have the <sarcasm> amazingly pant wettingly funny </sarcasm> Russell Brand and the <sarcasm> voice of an angel </sarcasm> Sarah Harding in it, I wonder what happened to them? I mean Sarah Harding would fit the "stand around looking gormless with your tits hanging out" category and the mental giant that is Brand could easily fill 2 hours of dick and fart jokes, I think they'd fit in perfectly, after all, the St Trinians remake broke all box office records didn't it?
