Internet puzzle
Hello internet, you'll know this. What is this dialogue from:

Person one: Are you saying that's not you?
Person two: Yeah
Person one: Well, I'm saying it is.

It'll be a tv show, but cant put my finger on it.

Odd file problem
Sitting on the sofa doing some work on the laptop a week or so ago, Mrs SLVA thought it would be a good laugh to distract me from my work by 'waxing my dolphin'.

She succeeded in distracting me but I got my own back by capturing her in the act on the laptop's webcam. Har har!

I played it back to her and she made me delete it. So I did (and used Window Washer to completely shred the file).

Fast-forward to earlier this morning, I've just searched my hdd for *.mpg (to find a stop-motion animation of a Blu-Tac morph I once created) and there, in the search results, was my homemade porn. porn.mpg, including original filepath, filesize and a thumbnail! WTF??

I try to open the file, but it won't open. I try to move it, but it won't. But the thumbnail and file info exists.

Where is that stored? I thought thumbs.db might be it, but there isn't one for the folder it was in. I even did a full 'wash' on the hdd with all the options selected, but it's still there.

How do I remove this retained information?

This is just me being curious
curious nosy, but how did you discover B3ta?

A friend had a quote from an image challenge as his MSN name. I asked where it was from, and he linked me to it - the inappropriate books for children one I think. And it was all downhill from there.

Pisswitch
Have been informed that, when my company moves to the new building (this weeked), all net activity is going to be recorded/monitored.

Looks like my days of having b3ta open constantly are over, but I should be able to pop on for lunch, and a few mins here and there.

Following on from yesterday's career question
What job do you do and do you enjoy it? Also, what did you want to be when you were a kid?

I think you all know what I do when I'm in gainful employment and yes I love it. I wanted to be an astronaut, but wasn't good enough at science or maths.

For many many years now,
there is one item that I have desired......

....wanted...

....coveted...

some would say, even lusted after. Alas, until now, I had not found one that I both liked and could afford at the time.

Today, I found the object of my desire.....

We sat on the bar seats which face onto, you guessed it.... The Bar! The bar man, a chinese moody fellow didn't even look around before bending over into the ice sink, turning on the tap and washing out his nose and using his fingers a greeny lever. Then kneeled down and did the boy playing football thing and blew out of both nostrils onto the floor....
Then turned around and just stared at me as if I was the one being revolting....
