jeff's in agony, i'm half drunk
Good morning off topic, I was expected to be at work tomorrow [today] and I said balls to that and so I've been drinking. Surprise surprise.

What've you said balls to that to?

Ive said balls to social groups.
Im still in a club in vauxhall after being befriended by a lovely bunch of gay men. I swear all they do is party, take drugs and shag each other. Its monday morning ffs, the place is rammed. Gotta go, Madonna's just come on. Boogie time.

I ate three burritos in less than ten minutes yesterday afternoon.
I haven't properly overeaten in several years. I was in fucking agony. I was supposed to be going round my pal's, but I was doubled over in chilli-enhanced gastric agony so I said 'balls to that', watched The Alamo* and winced for an hour, before eventually making it out.


*modern remake. I realised the only thing I knew about The Alamo is that Ozzy Osbourne was arrested for pissing on the commemorative monument in the early 80s, so I thought I'd learn the story. I didn't know that Jim Bowie and Davy Crockett both died there. Wow-wee.

Smart-arse jazz-rock bollocks is about right for a lot of his output
We're Only In It For The Money is actually one of my favourites. Freak Out and Absolutely Free have some good garage rock moments, but if you are not of fan of his other big influences (Stravinsky, Varese, Doo-Wop, etc.) which he combines in equal measures with the garage sound, along with his "unique" humour then it is probably quite annoying.

That's not true, either.
DVD resolution is 720 x 576, if you can't notice a difference between that and 1920 x 1080, you need glasses.

Yeah, again, that's just numbers
I know there is a difference between the resolution of DVDs and Blu-Rays but, while it's noticeable if you compare the two side by side, the increased quality of a Blu-Ray does not make a significant difference to your ability to watch the film and enjoy it.

OK, well there you're getting into
individual experience, which is, of course, completely subjective. If you personally don't experience any difference, then fine. You're still going to run into a wall eventually, though, as they'll stop releasing DVDs entirely eventually.
(, Mon 15 Aug 2011, 10:53, Reply)
Yeah, but that will ony happen when the market for Blu_ray reaches a point
when most people have blu-ray players, which won't be for a long time, because most people are fully aware that there is no need to upgrade as the costs of upgrading do not come with an equivalent increase in quality.

It's not the same as going from VHS to DVD, which really was a massive step up in quality, the increase in quality just isn't there.

Especially when I can buy the film I want on DVD for 3-4 quid
or I'd have to shell out nearer twenty for the same film on Blu-Ray.

It's a no contest.

Morning
I am saying "balls" a lot as I've transferred my old mobile number from O2 to Three, and it's taken effect today. I know because my old phone is saying "SIM no longer active" but my new phone is still obstinately sticking with the temporary phone number it came with.

As my car is in for servicing today I gave them the old number without thinking about it, so it had better materialise sharpish.

In other news my football team lost but that's not worth getting upset over. At least it's not Bristol City.
