Get the rockstar pass loads of LA Noire dlc for 800 points.
Suits and 6 cases I think, oh and a powerful gun.

Now or should I wait til I've completed it?

( CowJam, Wed 15 Jun 2011, 0:30, archived)

Get it now, you don't need to download the dlc straight away,
You can get it later on throught the marketplace link when you've got the game loaded, it's just really cheap right now, till the 21st I think.

that film The Game is on
i'd forgotten it was quite good. Also I've been spoilt by the internet as the adverts make me angry watching a film on ITV.
( Windy Pig I'm naturally quite suspicious about the moon., Wed 15 Jun 2011, 0:00, archived)

A tip might be, don't watch them on itv.

( Wildheart Baby. Drunken Mess In A Good Way, Wed 15 Jun 2011, 0:00, archived)

you never just see a film is on
and think, ooooh, i'll watch that? then it turns out to be ITV, and i know i could go online and find it without adverts, and in fact i may even have it on DVD, but you know, when it's on...
( Windy Pig I'm naturally quite suspicious about the moon., Wed 15 Jun 2011, 0:05, archived)

Yeah, get yourself a + box then live pause for a bit, then watch it and skip the ad breaks.

Good plan.I always try and forward through live programs I've not paused.
Like a dafty.
( Wildheart Baby. Drunken Mess In A Good Way, Wed 15 Jun 2011, 0:26, archived)

there needs to be some sort of system
for calculating the optimum pause time to film length and advert frequency ratio, so you never wait longer than you have to, to start enjoyment of the flick.
( Windy Pig I'm naturally quite suspicious about the moon., Wed 15 Jun 2011, 0:31, archived)

Yeah, movies on TV are far better than movies on DVD

saves the horrible hassle of deciding on a movie you want to watch
thanks TV, for taking away the hard task of walking to the DVD shelf and selecting a title.

I watched the Mummy Returns earlier

I like adverts.
They let me go for a piss or a smoke. I'm watching it too now.

I don't have to be in work til half ten.
( CowJam, Wed 15 Jun 2011, 0:31, archived)

i can piss and still see the tv thanks to downstairs toilets and mirrors.
it makes the lady angry though, so i can only do it when she's gone to bed. smoking indoors is allowed if i'm by the window in the living room and it's not just a vanilla roll.
( Windy Pig I'm naturally quite suspicious about the moon., Wed 15 Jun 2011, 0:32, archived)

I don't like smoking in doors, it freaks me out a bit

( CowJam, Wed 15 Jun 2011, 0:33, archived)

i don't like smoking ciggarettes indoors
but the more mellow of items needs a comfy seat that the English weather can't always provide.
( Windy Pig I'm naturally quite suspicious about the moon., Wed 15 Jun 2011, 0:38, archived)

Ah.
I rarely smoke that and nobody in Wigan has offered me it so I haven't. In which case I'd consider using the conservatory for the purpose.
( CowJam, Wed 15 Jun 2011, 0:43, archived)

I am naughtily smoking inside..
I should go outside but that involves getting off my ass.
( Herb Alpert's Taxi Driver I have very beautiful lips, Wed 15 Jun 2011, 0:38, archived)

It felt a bit odd smoking inside your house.
Each to their own, I'm not saying people shouldn't, just that I generally don't.

I never used too
I'm at a mates anyway. I am trying to be good and go out..but really, can't be chuffed.
( Herb Alpert's Taxi Driver I have very beautiful lips, Wed 15 Jun 2011, 0:48, archived)

If you're ever up my way I'll let you smoke in the conservatory
what with you being a lady and everything.

Speaking of smoking, I just rolled myself one then went for a piss before stepping outside. I sneezed while pissing and lost my tab down the bog :(

I can understand that.
My aunt and uncle moved out to Spain. Before they left I pirated them a "learn spanish" set of CDs which they didn't bother listening to.

Within a month they were complaining that nobody spoke English where they lived (in Spain) so they sold their house and moved to an ex-pat enclave, losing shitloads in the process. Bunch of fucking idiots.
