The photo needs to be renewed every ten years so your drivers license is invalid and if you get caught using it you'll get a £1000 fine.

Pushed you over the grand.
Good work.
Error
Sounds like they might have made a sign error. Probably wiped the story once they realised they were looking 5 years back in time rather than 5 years forward.
Oh well. Good effort.
Posted in Twenty classic arcade games
Bump 'n' Jump
Bump 'n' Jump was the only arcade game I became addicted to. Couldn't stop playing it.
Looks very good. Might get one.
I really like my current blackberry. It suits my usage patterns:
SMS, email and occasional web browsing. One other thing I use the phone for is taking the odd rare photograph if I happen across something interesting while out and about and the camera is really quite bad --- any idea what it's like on this one?
Re: why haven't they found us and made contact yet?
Maybe there's a lot more to existence than the observable universe and our animal life. Perhaps the more advanced civilisations are exploring that place.
I also love Hello Kitty.

"She still replied I was equally as mean and controlling though..."
Take her bed away and make her sleep in the floor. That'll teach her.
What's wrong with being a slut? I think they're lovely.
Posted in Thumbs down and Comments
Whenever I get a thumbs down I huddle up on the floor sobbing. It's the worst injustice I can think of.
Re: Not exactly a shock
"Even a difference in survival of 5% would mean the survival trait would be dominant in the population within a couple of generations."
Yes --- when you propagate the 5% difference through the whole species. But, unless it's a super-power, it means f-all for an individual.

I knew that storing all my urine in bottles in the attic would pay off one day.

Re: You're updating it wrong.
"For example, the update promises to fix a bug that prevents iPhone 5s from installing software updates wirelessly"
Presumably not on the iPhone 5.
As an olympic event, boxing must involve some 'talent'.

Hmmm... data services stopped working on my O2 mobile today, but this was fixed after I turned it off and then on again so not sure about the keep connected advice....
Re: bite?
The designer of the logo calls it a bite...

Apparently there's a bite in the apple to stop it looking like a cherry.
Where's Dog the Bounty Hunter when you need him?
Is all that swearing really necessary?
Re: Bah!
From the BBS news website, the co-owner said:
"They muck the buffet up for everyone, they push and shuffle people from the barbecue area and it's pretty sad really, because you can eat all you like over five-and-a-half hours - it's not an issue, you don't need to rush."
If they're spoling other diners' meals then fair enough to kick them out.
Re: There is no standard for such measures
Depends what they mean by "standard measure" --- eg. for chips they just scoop a bunch into one of the chip packs: how standard could the weight of a medium pack of chips be?
"Since McDonald's allegedly only uses the finest ingredients, presumably similar, for example, to Dark Origin Ecuador (£3.50 for 50g at today's online market price), the potential hit to the company coffers is a McMagnificent £18,900 per annum."
However, if the employees buying McFlurries weren't satisfied with their sprinkles and stopped buying them the company would be out £1.40 x 740 x 365 = £378,140 a year.
Posted in Humanity facing GLOBAL BACON SHORTAGE
I was planning on buying an iPhone 5 but now I'll save my money for a pack of bacon, two chops and a sausage.
.. also, a sprinking of well fried bacon bits over the pierogi works a treat.
Hurray, my favourite grub in a death match.
Thanks for giving the pierogi a go Lester -- although personally it's the meat ones that do it for me.

"Cool but can we communicate with the future yet?"
Yes, we can send ourselves a message now and be amazed when we receive it in the future.
"HECToR stands for the High End Computing Terra Scale Resource" (HECTSR).
Instead of a massive storage upgrade perhaps they should have first got around to installing a spell-check.
Re: "Not pleased"
Why did he need a doctor's letter? I can't think of any medical reason for needing to have video recording spectacles attached to your skulll.
Perhaps it was a letter from his psychiatrist.
To Whom it may concern,
This man is disturbed. Treat with caution.
Best Regards,

As a first step it should sense if someone's pooped on it -- pooping in the urinal being a sure sign of excessive alcohol intake.
The bill clearly shows 91.10 (+3.30) as the total.
Looks like you've been overcharged 6.90 (unless this is a 7.5% service charge?).
Oh well.

I'd have thought that shooting lasers at cows would cause them to fart more from fear. Crazy scientists never think their plans through.

I bought a '2011 model' Bravia, 6 weeks ago. It's mental that they won't even bother updating the software on their previous newest model.
