Fair play to him if that's his bag, we've all got to be somewhere, doing something. However I get the distinct feeling that with so little time on this ball of rock there are a zillion more useful things to spend your time on.

CARRY ON SCREAMING!

It's Odd-Bod on the loose after all these years!

Gothed-up Fenella Feilding and that voice that could floor a man's will at 200 yards, she still gives me goosebumps!

Me and the Missus are on there

However we have different online lives to each other, we have a few common family members on the FB friends list but that's where it ends. I have my FB page to showcase some of my photography, she has her genalogy and TV show stuff and never the twain and all that. We have nothing to hide from each other but she wouldn't like me poking my nose into her business and conversations, vice-versa.

This is a creepy thing for those sickening couples who've only been together for 2 weeks and sit all smugly on trains to work giving off that "We wuv each ovver wery wery wery muchy!" vibe! When you've been together and married for 25 years like me and my Missus that's when you know that person inside and out and you also know how to respect each other's limits and boundaries.

Elephantmen

The best comic in years! Some of the tragic stories almost had me in tears they were so moving. HipFlask is a genuine comic hero with a heart of gold, ha ha!

All that's required to make a person invisible in a room full of other people is let them utter the immortal line, "Hey have I shown anyone my holiday snaps?"!

"I played the game for awhile It's quite boring..."

Some people have way too much fucking time on their hands!

You know what I did this weekend? I spent the weekend outdoors taking photos of lakes at sunrise and sunset, might not be the greatest use of my time but bugger me it's better than paying 59p to stare a 3 inch screen pretending to scratch away at an image of some flowers. If people really need to do this sort of thing, at least go buy some scratch cards and you might stand a slim chance of getting something tangible from it!

Jesus wept the older I get the more stupid and gulliable younger generations seem to be!

Oh God no!

I spent months and months playing Skyrim when it came out on the 360, getting up at 3am for a few hours before work, sitting up until gone midnight after the kids had gone to bed. With the nights drawing in again this could be a very bad move to get this DLC!

( The mask as I am a slave to a fun RPG! )

Brilliant, I needed a good laugh!

Hmmm all the politiicans with mates in IT supply companies? You let us know how that pans out with the old-boy network!

Utter ballcocks!

' May said that "flexibility" needed to be built into any such legislation to prevent the Home Office having "to constantly come back because of too tight a definition." '

Give a politician an inch and they'll take 10 miles. You cacky-fingered, lying old witch, we're not stupid! We want you to come back time and again and ask when you need more powers. It's called accoutabiliy to us, the people who put your party in power and who want you to justify what you're wasting our taxes on when you're spying on us. You are not to be trusted with God like powers as you and your kind need to be kept in check, that's part of the fun dance called democracy. It's not always pretty and sometimes downright unfair to either side, but despite the neysayers we do still have some assemblence of a democracy and with remembrance day coming up I'd like you to remeber that it was hard fought and won, you scrofulous old sow!

"We do not currently block access to any website without a Court Order requiring us to do so."

A bloody good job too! Last thing we need is to hand that sort of power over to the corps, we really would need a whole new separate internet for them and us!

"Oi you, yes you son! No bombing or running round the pool edge or you're out!"

Many memories, many wasted days of me and my mate trying to map out LoM on the Amstrad CPC version!

Cheers and RIP old son!

All mindless sheep who want a riot

Most protesting are mindless sheep who just want a riot and vent frustration. I bet if you did a quick poll of a 1,000 people protesting and asked them if they'd seen this video I bet you could fill a Vauxhall Astra with those who had!

Traffic Shaping!

You mean like their traffic shaping practices? Download two Linux ISOs ( I wanted to test variations of Linux Mint last night ) next thing my Missus is moaning at me that she can't watch some z-list celubtard on Who Do You Think Will Save My Career? ( sorry, "Who Do You Think You Are?"! ) on the BBC catchup service!

Instagram, does for photography what The Sun does for journalism!

Sorry but the fact that they're even considering this as a reasonable thing to do has already made me make up my mind and vote with my feet. No skin off my nose, the joy of Linux is to just find a new distro and spend no more than an hour or two getting settled in to a new home!

I appreciate all that free work has to be paid for but this is a step too far. I always fancied a play with Fedora or even Oracle's locked down RedHat clone, might be time for some testing!

Whatever floats your boat!

I walked to work from Warren Street to Victoria this morning, there was about 30 people queueing outside the O2 shop on Oxford Street and only about 50 odd outside the Apple store on Regent Street this was around 7:15am. So you could happily join the queues at 7:30 on release day if you really were that desperate!

Still, live and let live, each to their own!

"the more people use it, the better it will get"

Yeah but if I can't get to the right place in the first place, how do I fix...ermmm....brain...hurt...need....lie....down.....

"The Dalai Lama of Design meets the Pope of products!", to paraphrase that bollocks that Bono once came out with about when Jobs and Gates met!

"Suicide is No Solution"

Easier to simply cut off the information and make it look like you're doing something to pacify the Daily Mail reading middle Englanders than spend some of money trying to found why society is so fucked up that kids who have barley even lived are contemplating their own demise. How about spending money getting out into schools and colleges to inform anyone who may be listening that there is always hope and there, budget cutbacks aside, will be someone who will listen and advise.

When you read about Bitcoin swindles anyone else think of the scene in the Simpons where Snake rushes into the internet cafe? He shoves a floppy in the PC Homer is on doing his online banking, Snake exclaims "Download to Pappa!" and runs out with all Homer's money!

Oh God, it was horrible then and it's horrible now!

Let it go and stop living in the past!

My first!

I remember coming home from school when I was around 7, my old man was sitting on the living room floor with a new one of these. He said, "Look at this!", pointing at the TV which sudenly exploded into a show of crudely flashing squares and circles! "Isn't that great?!".

Around 2 years later the parents of an old school friend become a reseller for Dragon kit and I got my hands on shed-loads of software and official Dragon odds and sods, like the speech synth!

My very first micro and kick-started my love of computers!

That PM sounds just like Marcus Brigstocke's character in the classic radio comedy, Think the Unthinkable!
