  1. Where's that laughing policeman when you need him?
  2. 11:40 BBC1 tonight (Sunday 26/06/11) is The Quiet American. A beautiful film that captures the atmosphere of the book perfectly. Trailer here Not normally a fan of Michael Caine to say the least, but in this he is superb, from his opening voiceover right through to the end of the film.
  3. Pics aren't showing up Si, but I love Don't look Now. Venice looks beautiful and creepy. Also has the best sex scene evar.
  4. A smile looks better but a pout says 'I'm a slut' Main thing for me is that it's just fake - I tend to start laughing at them.
  5. He's being a jammy bastard. VERY fit women in Toronto.
  6. There's a new swype beta out. the word suggestion thing is now in a row, rather than a panel, plus other tweaks
  7. Which I also do. Some people say it's poncey, but some people have no sense of irony.
  8. I'm an arnty man myself. Also occasionally antsy.
  9. What is this 'they' of which you speak? As for manager updates, I'm happy with twitter thanks. You just choose to not follow the edjits and hey presto, intelligent and informative comments.
  10. I don't think I've been into on topic for over a year, and then it was a quick in and out.
  11. You can also configure gmail to pick up mail from all your various email accounts and set rules so they go straight into folders; basically use gmail like outlook and send non gmail emails. Plus it keeps a copy of everything in the cloud, so you never lose anything. Ever.
  12. Buy Nespresso. I guarantee it'll give you great espresso. Some say it's as close as you'll get to the best stuff in italy. It's definitely the best I've had in this country. Don't swear by Starbucks, swear at it. Or get yourself a Rancilio Rocky grinder and Rancilio Silvia espresso machine. Then buy freshly roasted beans locally. Nespresso is easy, quick and clean, but by god is it crap. Also no alternative to Nescafe pods; they do a wide selection, but there's no organic option and no fairtrade option, or at least there wasn't. There's a company in Switzerland that do refillable pods tho...
  13. I have an unlocked Orange San Francisco with a very stable CM7 on it. I'm on T Mobile on PAYG. I pay £20 for six months unlimited mobile web. Also a nice place to be.
  14. People who don't pick their feet up when they walk. Why don't you just tattoo 'slob' on your forehead?
  15. Christ almighty. Where's an Enigma machine when you need one?
  16. On my first playthrough atm. I'm playing it on Insanity setting and it's quite a challenge: ME1 on Insanity was a piece of piss. Combat is much better, though I'm not enjoying getting stuck to objects. Trying to back away from a mob and then I find myself stuck to some box at my side & end up dead.

    Deck.ly is fine as long as you are happy being complicit in the murder and suppression of country by a brutal dictator. It's a Libyan domain so at least 00000000000000.1p goes directly into killing Libyan kittens every time you use it.
  19. So then Rob and Chindie, it is sexyphone yes?
  20. Cyanogen Mod 7 is out now and it is stable and good. Download here
  21. Where you at? I just got back from a quick non-skiing trip to Portes du Soleil in France and it was lovely. Sunny in the village but loads of snow and coldness up the mountain if you're into breaking limbs and freezing your arse off. I stayed in the village. Was just looking at home cinema amps that I can't afford, then I made myself a bacon sarnie with my mum's date chutney instead of ketchup. That and a cup of tea. Bostin'
  22. Sibelius appreciator here, although Shostakovic ain't far behind. Sibelius' violin concerto in D; Viktoria Mullova has made an excellent recording. Shostakovic's Gadfly seems to crop up through my speakers very regularly (all my music is lossless ripped so I can listen to it from a PC, which is connected to my amp) Umm, Yoyo Ma doing Bach's cello concertos is another - was used in the film Master & Commander . I do like Mozart, but I use it to help me concentrate, not relax. Mahler 4th symphony. There are probably more. Oh, and Dickens - thirded. Just tedious.
