Re: Adverts that irritate and entertain

There's the other one with the mad bint giggling because she gets to eat yogurt. Mentalist.

Re: Adverts that irritate and entertain

What's with all these weird lobotomised women trying to sell yogurt?

Re: Mrs T

The thing is, that policeman who threw the old bloke to the ground causing him to have a heart attack had authority and passion. But where were his redeeming features? (Do you observe how I skilfully avoid the hitler analogy?) You can decry the thousands of haters as unpalatable, or you could take ...

Re: What are you reading this on?

I'm reading that and writing this on a MacBook Pro thingy. I get the idea that for most people, they probably don't really need a PC-shaped box to do what they want to do, but it's a struggle to remind myself that most people's idea of computing begins and ends with Facebook and Hotmail, and that a ...

Re: Bye bye MSN messenger

IIRC my first entry online was via Demon circa 1995, supplanted soon after by a BT ISDN line (where 64 kbps *seemed* fast!). After getting cabled up at some point in the interim we moved to broadband with Blueyonder (at a mighty 512 kbps) in I *think* 2000. It's odd how appreciable the smallest bump...

Re: Bye bye MSN messenger

Skype isn't a *brilliant* IM client, but I don't think it'd take too much to make it better. Its persistent group chat stuff is handled better than MSN ever did, but its UI has way too much white space (for some reason, I think only the Mac client lets you fix this with CSS). A few of my friends mis...

Re: My Lovely Horse Lasagne

Similarly, all this fuss made me recall just how *vile* I found crispy pancakes as a kid. Despite it being about 15 years since I was last near one, I still can't forget that horrid slimy layer of what apparently was meant to be pancake. Then the treat of the filling - some variation on molten sick....

Re: High Street chain collapse sweepstake

I knew a surprising number of people who went there from time to time for video games. I have no idea how much this cost, but I suppose there's some rationale for renting a game you'd pretty much immediately trade-in anyway.

*that* one. Sometimes I go in just to see if someone's brought in more Seinfeld VHSs.
