however at a party once I sat at a table with a whole bottle, a pile of salt and some jif lemon in one of the lemon shaped things.

I have never rarely been so drunk in my life.

Ended up passed out on the bathroom floor at my parents' old house.

Not had any since, except in cocktails.

edit: actually that's not true, since then I've had slammers once, and that was what led me to getting with my ex. I'd had 6 cans of beer, a bottle of white wine and was on the 4th tequila, which went down the wrong tube and made me shout soup in the garden. My mates mocked me so to prove I wasn't a pussy I necked about a third of a bottle of Bacardi.

Then I woke up in bed with my (female) housemate. It was quite the surprise.

Nottingham Forest will finally get back into the Premiership
This time next year I will glumly predict imminent, humiliating relegation for Nottingham Forest

Bruce Forsyth will forget who, where and why he is, live on air

Lady Gaga will pull an "Emperor's New Clothes" moment at some awards show or other. The tabloids will believe her claim that she was wearing a fabulous dress made of air and pixie dust and chastise everyone who points out that she's a mental

Arsenal will win the League Cup, getting the papers off Wenger's back and giving him the right to not buy a goalkeeper for another five years

Premiership? That's so three years ago. It 's the Premier League now.
And on the subject of Lady Ga Ga's dress sense, that "dressed to grill" look was done ages ago.

Yeah, but, not done with actual meat
I actually love Gaga's music, and am a big fan of someone in her position using it to speak out against injustices like Proposition 8, etc. It's just a shame that a) she uses shock tactics to get airtime because of the age we live in, and b) she munts

Just a moment. Are you saying that bacon isn't meat?
This will cause uproar at the next meeting of the Vegetarian Society.

Given how little meat is actually in bacon, I doubt it ;-)
But admittedly I should have rephrased to clarify that I meant MASSIVE STEAKS

Techno things

- apple 'facetime' to be launched on every platform out there,
- Windows Mobile 7 to take a 25% market share,
- Nintendo and Sony to launch new consoles.
- A massive attack on Google by China or North Korrea.
- Google TV
- Spotify for Films.

World Things
- Inevitable international desaster, along the lines of floods or eathrquake.
- The next phrase of the 'war on terror' to move into a new country, maybe forcably go into Pakistan with pakistan's permision.

Deaths
- Bob Forsyth
- double-or-nothing for the 10th time Maggy Thature.
- Someone from a boy/girl band at a young age.

I was asked about my techy predictions at an interview yesterday and all I could come with was "Playstation Move" and "Kenect"
And how Kenect won't be as good because you can't play it slouched on the couch and how it's lack of buttons would be a big problem for developers doing anything appart from 'party games'.

Hopefully they showed that I know the UI stuff, but it's a bit of a poor thing.

They liked my pointing out that Safari in iOS lacks any sort of photo upload feature, even though it's built into the OS for PDF docs.

Netflix just launched in Canada, so it shows they _do_ have outside-of-US contracts.
And a lot of hardware manufactures have invested in Netflix technology built into set-tops and even directly pumped into tellys.

Yes, but very strong ones, reportably coming from inside facebook themselves.
Personally I can't see the point, they've invested in so much in having a system that's so expandable with one of the most complete APIs out there, and also in having apps for more or less every device I can think off.

I've been saying that since before the Simpsons were around

it's been on british terrestrial tv since about 98

Ah, but, for what reason, or under whose influence, did you start saying it?
Just because you hadn't seen it on the Simpsons in, for example, '91 doesn't mean that the friend you heard it from hadn't seen it on Sky

The episode I'm thinking of was broadcast in season 12, if I remember rightly, so this is a totally moot point

There is an underlying point about how The Simpsons has sublimated itself into the fabric of pop culture to such an extent that lines from it are used by people who claim not to watch it, or even to dislike it
but that's much better illustrated by watching an episode of Family Guy with someone who prefers the Griffins to the Simpsons, and pointing out the number of gags lifted wholesale - sometimes verbatim - from the latter

I don't watch either Family Guy
or the Simpsons. The few episodes I've seen seem to recycle very old jokes a lot
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Fri 24 Sep 2010, 11:38, Reply)

In the case of the Simpsons
if you've seen episodes from the first few series, the jokes are old because the programme is old. In the later series I will admit the wheels came off and they started covering old ground, as far as I can tell their logic was "Family Guy can re-use our jokes so we might as well do so too"
