Ning feathermuckers!
The sun is sheeining here, and it's almost light when I get into work. I saw the first new shoots of the year last weekend... Spring is coming!

Oh, and CUNTYPOPS!

Morning
Made it into work today courtesy of a collegue.

Strangely, the only part that's hurting is my shoulder - I seem to have escaped remarkably whiplash-free.

Edit: and curiously, the site where I work seems to still be covered in snow, despite it having thawed out everywhere else in the area.

Good(ish) news there ducky
Still sucks about the car though.

Are you going to try and replace it, or aim for something different?

Morning all
It's not spring here - it's heavy snow! I took a good while longer to get here because of people driving very slowly. Not that I would have been going fast, of course, but some folk just take it too far, which leads others not to leave as big a gap as they should.

I saw one shunted-up-the-arse-at-a-junction type accident this morning, but surprisingly no more.

Sorry to hear about the Jag, rubberduck.

Morning, cumdumpsters!
It really sucks about your car Ducky, but I'm very glad you're ok!

I had my first skid on ice today, nothing major, just slid the back end out a little bit before correcting. It was actually quite fun!
(I helped save b3ta! Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Thu 12 Feb 2009, 8:33, Reply)
Morning Lab
Correcting the rear end is a bit more intuitive than correcting a front end skid. It's also more fun, because you can go sideways.

I got some funny looks as I passed dozens of cars on the dual carriageway this morning, as the only car in the outside lane. They were all nose to tail, doing about 25mph, and I managed a whole 35mph on a snowier bit of road, with no danger of shunting the car in front.

Made sense to me, but obviously not to everyone.

Sorry to hear about the car, but at least you're OK.

K2, it always makes me wonder about people driving in the snow, down here even 25 is way to fast for them.

Any ideas on what to replace it with yet?

Morning folks
I got to work without trouble today, hooray, but I was late anyway, booooo! I've got into the habit of leaving about half an hour later than I should in large part due to me reverting to my natural sleeping pattern. I had an early night last night - I went to bed at 1:45...

Also, got my tapers in now and they keep knocking on my collar. Feels very funny.

:edit: And ducky I'm glad you're alright, shame about the car though.

Taping Tapers
Can cause typographical errors.

1:45 is normal for me.
(Herr Doktor Lemminge Is bored, so cheer me up!, Thu 12 Feb 2009, 9:07, Reply)
I can understand
why London is hit hard when it's snowing, because it's so busy. But up here, it isn't so much of a problem.

There's a couple of inches of snow here, and more is falling, but all the schools are open and all the buses are on time. The roads are a bit snowy, but easily passable, and only one street is closed in Dundee, which is the Hilltown, a 1 in 6 gradient.

It's because people are idiots!
Partially because we don't have much snow, and partially because everyone seems to be a fuckwit, nobody seems to have the slightest idea how to drive in it. Pathetic really.

Cheers everyone
K2 - I usually find that 'virgin' snow offers more grip anyway than stuff that's already been packed down into ice. I got some very strange looks last Friday as the only driver to use the snow-covered lane 3 of the M40.

I'm not sure what do do about the car replacement to be honest. My heart says to find another one the same. My head tells me that I ought to find something more sensible (well, until the XFR drops below about £25k anyway...)

I'm just thoroughly pissed off about the car. Aside from its voracious appetite for petrol and tyres, it was bloody perfect.

Well, duck
My boss (big boss, not the one who currently has the XF) had an S-Type R, and he replaced it with a Continental GT, so that'd be my recommendation :P

Not sure if you could get one for £25k though!

Nah - I'm not a fan of German machinery in general. Since the Conti GT is essentially a tarted up VW Phaeton, that's enough to dissuade me...

That, and the ever so minor fact that I can't afford one.

It's a tarted up VW
but they don't have nearly the same level of trim...

I don't think I've ever been in a building as luxurious as that car. Lambs wool shag pile carpeting!

Most if not all of my recommendations would be German I think. Although maybe not if you want something less than about ten years old.

If it's only rear end damage to the Jag
Transplant the engine into something really really shit looking, and have fun burning people off at traffic lights.

My mate's brother built a car consisting of a rusty Montego estate body held together with gaffer tape dropped onto an Impreza WRX chassis, engine & drivetrain. Slight waste of effort but he is a pretty ninja mechanic*, and you should see the boy racers' faces when you challenge them at the lights!

I'm going to have to have a think about this. I think I want something that seats 4 comfortably, with the same level of performance as the Jag.

I've got a funny feeling I'll probably end up with another one...

Edit: @ V, one of my first cars was a standard (i.e. FWD) Fiesta RS, absolutely mental car. Rolled it over a hedge and into a field and wrote it off... There's no need for turbos in cars of that size!

Duckie, check out www.autoebid.com

There are some fantastic bargains on there. You can pick up a Jaguar XJ diesel for £32K or an X-Type (fully loaded) for £25.5K.

There's loads of other bargains on there, too.

Absolutely no idea! Despite being a geek I don't really use Linux, I have Ubuntu installed on an old machine to piss around with but it involved far too much fiddling around with for my liking... I like my computers to just work.

I can't remember the name of the Windows .ogg encoder I've used, but tbh I couldn't hear any benefits over ripping to mp3 with CDex set up properly.

Fair enough Sam
I might just install a different program to rip with. Not entirely sure why I ended up ripping my whole music collection in .ogg anyway. Sure on principal I prefer the format to .mp3 but considering neither my mp3 player or my sister's old ipod that I use with my ski jacket support .ogg it's a bit mad!

Too lazy to rip it all again right now though.

I think
there's a third party firmware you can flash an iPod with so it supports .ogg. Not sure though, I've never bought into it that much, it seems like a solution in search of a problem. Did some proper ABX tests and I couldn't hear a difference between it and mp3...

mp3 gets a lot of unfair criticism because people listen to it on shit replay systems. If you have flat response speakers even a 128k mp3 is pretty much indistinguishable from .wav, because of the way it works.

Well, given that she's an 18 year old lesbian
I think it's a dead cert that we would like her.

But on a less pervy nature, 128kbps mp3s can sometimes suffer from a sort of washy watery noise in the background of quiet sections due to the forced sampling of silence.

I rip everything in VBR using EAC and having tested it through my Hi-Fi, there really is no difference that you can hear.

I meant I object to it on the principal of it being proprietary, I agree with you entirely on the subject of quality. So long as you use a decent bitrate, be it average or fixed, it's going to sound fine.

I think the firmware you're thinking of is rockbox. Imo it's way better than the default ipod firmware in many ways but it's biggest trump card is that you can just drag and drop your files rather than being forced to use that heaping pile of shit that is itunes. Unfortunately I have to use the default firmware though as rockbox doesn't support the use use of the use connection for remote controls like the one in the sleeve of my jacket.

Yeah you do get some artefacts like that, particularly apparent on cymbals
That's usually down to incorrect encoder settings though.

Not sure what you mean by 'forced sampling of silence'?

mp3s work by removing frequency bands that are masked by other frequencies, because your brain will fill in the gaps afterwards.

The thing is they presume that your replay system is perfectly flat (which nothing ever is, outside a treated studio. Although they couldn't work from any other assumption). If you have perfectly flat 20-20k replay then it will sound fine, most of the problems are down to inconsistencies in the replay system rather than the lossy compression, if you see what I mean.

Psychoacoustics is a very interesting subject.

I'll just say that as TV licence inspectors have no right to enter your property and that TV detector vans are inadmissible as evidence on the ground that they wont tell anybody what technology they're using (frankly I think it's scaremongering anyway).

I'm not so sure Al
I love the BBC and the fact that it's publicly funded but having people that want to watch TV foot the bill for radio, their web ventures etc. etc. doesn't sit well with me especially when you can watch most of the content online for free too. The TV licence just isn't fit for purpose.

As it's a great asset for the country and something to be proud of it'd be better for it to be paid for by the tax payer rather than the TV owner. Let anybody from anywhere in the world view all the content and listen to all the radio and we're sorted.

Could allow the bbc to advertise, in a strictly controlled manner, on their website to viewers outside the UK to recover some of the costs of the bandwidth international visitors use.

No need to arse about scaremongering to get people to pay a licence and we could be even more proud of our service because we'd have opened it up to the world.

The way they go about it is really cuntish as well
In my last flat I didn't watch TV at all. Had a TV for DVDs and games consoles, which means you don't require a license. Didn't have a single aerial in the place.

When I rang them up to point this out the guy in their call centre refused point blank to believe I didn't watch TV, as they assume everyone does and send letters to those without licenses. He said 'do you really expect me to believe you don't watch TV?'

Er... yes I do.

I gave up after that and threw their letters in the bin without opening them. They never came round despite threatening to many times. Fuck 'em, I say.

The problem with that idea, V
is that you'd get all of the 'I don't have a television so why should I pay?' crowd bleating about it.

But that applies to plenty of things. I wouldn't expect to be able to withhold the part of my council tax that goes towards street lighting just because I lived on a farm, for example. (I don't live on a farm, by the way - it's just an example!)

So I agree with you, in principle. Convincing the great unwashed might take more effort though.

The BBC do advertise on their website
if you are outside of the UK, they show some adverts on BBC Worldwide too.

If it were funded by the taxpayer surely there would be questions of government bias since they would control the funding, as it is, they do have a certain degree of independance.

And much as us tech savvy people love to download stuff for free regardless, we really are in a very small minority of the country, many many people just listen to the radio and watch telly.

Lets face it, the vast majority of people have a TV. Therefore they are going to have to display a reasonable amount of scepticism to people just phoning up to say "I haven't got a telly". It's not ideal, but otherwise, don't you think that most chavvy scum would do that?

And that's pretty much why I don't expect it'd ever happen. It's not like it'd be a situation that's in any way unique but because it's been so shit for so long people just aren't going to change.

This is where benevolent dictatorships are full of win. They could sort all this out without having to give a shit about remaining popular. That's why I dislike democracy.

:edit: Al I didn't realise that. Nice to hear they're already doing something sensible but it's a shame that they haven't got something similar in place for the iplayer. Pisses me off that US networks block international viewers as it just pushes me towards piracy which they then complain about.

The situation with the big music labels is ever worse...
(I helped save b3ta! Captain V, Thu 12 Feb 2009, 14:05, Reply)
But
I was sent a letter asking me to pay the license, which gave a number to phone if I had no TV receiving equipment on my premises. I phoned the number to express said fact, and was just met with rudeness and disbelief.

The vast majority of people may have a TV, but that is no reason to hound those of us who don't. I contemplated taking a massive shit in one of the envelopes they sent me and posting it back to them to express my opinion of their tactics, but decided against it.

It's scaremongering, pure and simple. Automatically sending official looking, threatening sounding letters to people is easier than doing any actual detecting or work or anything, because most people will be scared of them and pay up!

That's a great attitude Sam, how would you like to open an envelope full of shit? It's just someone doing there job, you didn't lose out, so there no real need to get such an arse on is there. If someone did come round, you could just refuse to let them in, or just show them your lack of telly, again, you're not losing anything.

Surely the person handling your call was doing their job although they might have been an arsehole. The whole threatening letter/not visiting/guilty until proven innocent thing is more to do with the way TV licensing is run and I'm not sure how much better they could really be seeing as they're trying to enforce a tax that is completely impractical to enforce anyway.

I once sent a letter so someone
while a b3tan fingered my bum.

The letter was intercepted by a group of japanese attack wolverines. They opened it and translated the text into passable german.

By sheer chance, who should disturb them on one of his evening constitutionals but the former chancellor Helmut Kohl (which translates directly as Mr Cabbage).

So taken aback by what he read he made a call to Jean-Marie Le Pen, the famous french racist and almost president. Mr Le Pen was none too pleased and urinated all over his new shoes in fury.

His wife was most upset with this as she had only recently bought them from the Lands End catalogue and they were moleskin and consequently totally ruined.

So she threw them out and, as luck would have it, a passing tramp lifted them from the bin and decided to wear them, since, despite the stench of old man urine, they fitted a lot better than the two halves of a roadkill badger he had been using previously.

So yeah, who would have thought it eh?

Up until the bit about the tramp it was true.
What really happened was word got back to my boss who took me to task, but when we got to the bottom of it it turned out that the wolverines had mistranslated the word "Aftershave" and had put the German for "felching" which is why Herr Kohl was so understandably upset.

We're okay now. Mrs Le Pan bought some more shoes and waterproofed them before she let Jean Marie wear them.

I'm sure you can handle a bit of cat cock now and again!
Are you sure it wasn't the Traffic Warden outfit?

Oi Oi TGB! Jiggle for me baby!

Border collies are awesome Lab
But it's cruel to have them unless you can give them shitloads of exercise, they get well manic otherwise!

Me and my mate quite often walk one belonging to an elderly neighbour of hers, the dog is 14 or 15 and if we cover 5 miles on the walk the dog will easily do three or four times that with all the running about, and it still doesn't get tired.

Yes Sam
Until a month ago I had one (well, at my parent's), and we walked him miles each day. Beautiful dogs, very placid and intelligent.

White German shephards are prone to more problems than regular ones TGB
So not the wisest choice. Get a leonburger, they're awesome :)

You might Kaol, tons of cats are being handed in at shelters at the moment, including the expensive ones.
(I helped save b3ta! fuck shit up the best you never had, Thu 12 Feb 2009, 16:20, Reply)
Yeah, they're probably more or less the most intelligent dogs Lab
I know loads of people with them as I live in the countryside...

Dunno what dog I want, maybe a Doberman. They're pretty cool.

Why?
Can't people afford to feed 'em?
I thought cats ate biscuits and mice?
And if you don't give 'em biscuits, they just go and break into someone else's house and eat their food.

My mate's cat caught a bat last time I was at his house
That was pretty cool. Made a very high pitched squeak as the cat dismembered it. (in fact, that was probably fairly low pitched by bat standards)

He catches rabbits as well, and the occasional stoat/weasel. He's a pretty hard cat.

couldn't catch a cold.
But he duffs me up good and proper.

I'm a spikey cock
Does that qualify me to own a cat?
(I helped save b3ta! Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Thu 12 Feb 2009, 16:40, Reply)
Yeah
They have spikes which means they can't withdraw their cocks for a certain time after ejaculation, so the sperm doesn't leak out or something.

Think quite a few other animals do as well.

Don't ask me how or why I know this.

Because of
David Attenborough. He has taught me everything about cats cocks I could ever want to know
(I helped save b3ta! TGB checking Off Topic is still shit at, Thu 12 Feb 2009, 16:41, Reply)
Ah. Right fact, wrong reason.
From Wikipedia:

The male cat's penis has spines which point backwards. Upon withdrawal of the penis, the spines rake the walls of the female's vagina, which may cause ovulation. Because this does not always occur, females are rarely impregnated by the first male with which they mate.

So to artificially inseminate a cat
You need a a pipette with miniature sticklebricks glued along the length?
