  1. Personally if I see a woman in public - even if it's broad daylight, they're on the other side of the road, with company and paying absolutely no attention to me - I simply shout I AM NOT A SEX OFFENDER repeatedly until they're no longer in sight. I'm just corteous like that.
  2. I swear I've replied to this twice and it's not showing up. The ceiling's low, it's quite hot and there's only one one person-sized door in and out so I hope you don't smoke. In my experience it's always been pretty good but the last time I was there the sound wasn't good. If anything, too loud.
  3. I am currently listening to Clarity by Jimmy Eat World. It is very good.
  4. Noted slimy charisma vacuum Cary Elwes is in The X-Files:
  5. Vettel didn't lead the 2010 championship until the last race when he won it.
  6. Kate Winslet's maw in Titanic is in The X-Files: The film "Terminator 2: Judgement Day" is in The X-Files: Xena: Warrior Princess is in The X-Files:
  7. Absolutely disgraceful what Iran's done to Israel. I only get my news from Britain so I have absolutely no idea why Iran attacked Israel. I am certain though that it was entirely unprovoked., out of the blue and undeserved.
  8. It's great going into Asda and seeing a pile of them sitting on the shelf with a yellow sticker on them. Got them for 42p a tub the other week and they were still in the fridge days later, absolutely fine.
  9. CarrbridgeSaintee is extremely obviously not oaksoft. Not every shite poster is a frequently banned poster.
  10. This just goes along with what I said about memories I've seen from other people. People skipping lectures to watch the verdict announcement. The only case of news having that sort of immediate cultural impact I can think of is 9/11. It's ludicrous.
  11. The all caps and the cursor still being visible gives very strong Business Secrets of the Pharaohs vibes
  12. I did read the other day he's one of two Coyotes with a NTC. Grim.
  13. Tom from Lost is in The X-Files: Also in this episode is the guy in one Frasier episode who buys KACL and turns it into a Spanish language station.
  14. I also think this is the first year since I started running this that nobody picked Akebono Taro or Peter Higgs. You know the longer somebody's alive the more likely they are to die, right?
  15. Week 15 update One death this week, OJ Simpson: OJ Simpson, ex-NFL star who was acquitted of murder, dies aged 76 | OJ Simpson | The Guardian My knowledge of recent American cultural history is based near exclusively on things which have featured in The Simpsons. I've just discovered he was originally intended to be in Last Exit to Springfield, widely regarded as the best Simpsons episode, but he turned it down. What a change in history that would be. Outside of that there's probably an understandable reason that someone born in the UK in the early 90s probably hasn't seen much of his media presence. Anyway, the point is that outside of a vague general idea of who he was or what he's known for, I didn't really appreciate how significant his trial was when it happened. Seeing the clips on the news of his trial and reading recollections from Americans this week though, I've really been taken aback by how current it all seems. His trial, the TV coverage of it, it feels like the sort of media circus that we're all too used to nowadays. I don't really have any opinion on the trial or the question of his guilt, but from my brief exposure to it this week it seems to me that OJ Simpson's most significant cultural impact goes well beyond his sporting prowess, his acting or images of him wearing gloves or driving a truck. I don't even want to think about what a similar case would be like now with social media. Oscar Pistorius is probably the closest recent comparable and that was nothing to what I've seen of OJ this week. If Donald Trump ever reaches a courtroom, would he compare? Could the trial even happen? Simpson died at 76 so he's worth 49 Base Points for @BillyAnchor and @doulikefish. @ICTChris gets a Vice-Captain bonus to give him a total of 74 points.

  16. I'm not following this. If the government planned the weather to coincide with a pandemic, why would the weather be nice when people had to stay indoors?
  17. You know on second thoughts he actually does look familiar. Hmm... "Well-manicured man" is a fantastic name for a character.
  18. My condolences. There's no way I was ever following this given some of the vitriol you get from people on the internet with a particular viewpoint on this but from what I've read this morning, it's just been a complete shambles. If you're in the UK, NHL TV remains the best way to watch the NHL. £86 for a full season of streaming every game, regular season and playoffs, whenever you want it. They seem to make accessing coverage of games as hard as possible wherever you are, but we seem to get a really good deal.
  19. I think it's only happened to me a couple of times but that ocular migraine thing would usually happen if I hadn't had much sleep. I think it was Dee Man posting about it which clued me in to what it was. Sitting with my eyes shut for 10-15 minutes usually fixed it.
  20. Kim was a homewrecker who got between JD and Elliot then tried to trap him with a baby. Steer well clear.
