Controversially non-lunch thread about inconsequential but noticeable difference ...

Anyone else noticed that b3ta's clock seems to be running a bit slow after the upgrade?

What else have you noticed that's nearly, but not quite, right?

Annoyingly the PC clocks in here are correct
but the clock on the sign in desk is wrong.

I'm assuming it was yesterday.

I meant this saturday (12th) and it's been cancelled so no race till the 27th.
I do however have Motogp on the 20th WOO. And as it's my birthday I can demand to watch it

Depends on where you go
Tenerife - Las Americas/Los Christianos yes. Last time I went it was to a resort called Los Gigantes on the West coast. Lovely and quiet and great restaurants too.
Lanzarote - not been for years so can't say
Gran Canaria - Maspalomas has some really nice hotels there but this may be getting pricy

I'm sorry, I made that up, I don't know how many levels the Marks'n'Sparks in east chiswick has.
Enfield Town Centre has a really good shopping precinct though, there is a big HMV, a Game, a CEX _and_ [that video game shop you can trade games in who's name I've forggotten]. They might have some good DS games second hand, and there is a noodle place there where you can pick a type of noodle, a meat and a sauce.

My trip into work this morning was nowhere near right.
The M4 from junction 4b to 3 was closed this morning. This backed traffic up right the way around the M25 to where I get on, which in turn backed up the A3 all the way back to Guildford. I travelled at a dead crawl almost all the way to work and at the one point where the traffic was moving, somebody cuts somebody else up, causing a line of traffic to have to slam on the anchors, which ends up with me narrowly avoiding slamming into the car in front of me and the girl behind me having to emergency-abort onto the hard shoulder in order to avoid me.

Having escaped the motorway of death, the M40 was backed up due to reasons of its own and, as a parting shot, I get a large rock crack my windscreen.

You know the story of Robbin Hood? Well, someone said the same thing about that, and Bryan Adams was in the charts for 18 weeks because of it.
Think about that, next time you threaten to add a forrest scene into a perfectly good film.
( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Mon 7 Mar 2011, 12:29, Reply)

I'm curious, Gonz. How would you tell the story of Robin Hood without mentioning a forest.
Perhaps a modern, urban retelling of the legend where Hood is some New York street punk and Marion is a member of one of America's moneyed families? Perhaps not a Rockefeller exactly, but one of those types with the mansion and the European pretentions?

The Sheriff could be the mayor or something, who's cracking down on crime in the inner city and it has the result of cutting off allt he meth factories that supplement the poor families' incomes and so Hood starts jacking cars and popping caps in the asses of busters in order to keep his homies folks ticking over.

Is that why you rebel and steal thing?
Because you're daddy never remebers these things? Did you feel underloved as a child? Did you think bringing him stolen coats would forge an ever lasting bond as he swept you up in the latest steal (a camel hair) ruffling your hair and saying he could really do with a new pair of shoes, you feeling as if your coat thieving skillz would never be enough, hanging around outside Japenese temples and stealing the shoes which only angered your dad as he had size 13 feet, the constant beatings with sandals. The day he left and the coats had all been shredded and you made a little nest out of them and curled up remembering the smell of your dad and the happier days when coat stealing was enough.

My name’s Billy. I’ve been beaten since I was three, Mum died when I was born and Dad takes it out on me. He ain’t a bad man, He just gets drunk and feels alone, I tend to go for walks and hope he’s asleep when I get home. Don’t like to talk about it though. As I said, it ain’t his fault, it only happens when he’s drunk as a last resort. Tried to get him a gift, to show my support, but had no money and I stole and I guess I got caught. At times like that, I tend to switch of my mind, stare blankly into space and let what happens unwind. I seemed to anger this guard, he put his hands around my neck, he said it’s time for me to learn some manners and respect. It hurt. I’ve had worse before, it made me realise life is just a series of wars. I went straight home that day and locked the bathroom door. Took a blade to both wrists, they won’t hurt me no more.
