RE: Sounds like crapland

Yeah, saw that this morning - part of me applauds their audacity, part of me thinks there should be more powers to lock people up for taking the piss. I'm a complex person me.Anyway, enough about skilled entrepreneurs / thieving scam artists. What's ...

RE: Effect on the common man who owns a small shop: KERCHING!

I suppose you're right, I must try to not be cynical. But it's hard, having worked for some of the banks that caused the trouble - and now I'm doing some work for the Tax Man so I'm a little too close to it all.People of the world, keep buying stuff ...

RE: Cheers Darlin'

Tell me about it, my expenses form is hard enough to fill in let alone trying to work out what tax rate goes where.Imagine the poor newsagents and shopkeepers who have to go around and take 2.5% off the price of everything? OR, what will really happe...

RE: And the camera's working at last

Blimey, it's still a bit pricey, all all so that people can spy on their partners while they're at work. Plus it still doesn't seem to perform very well, better off with a web cam and a mini server.

RE: We got Wii!

Cool, I got a Wii a few weeks ago and now I don't know how I survived without it. The little thing is grate for after-pub parties and social drinking. Not to mention thrashing out the day's accumulated frustration.

RE: Tipping etiquette

Oh, inline editing, very nice. Some Ajax goodness?

RE: Yes you must

I don't avoid it as such, I'm just usually too busy and it's gone before I realise what's going on. I'll make an extra special effort this year.I've a few friends who currently rent out during the festival, or have in the past. They only get at most ...

RE: MJ Hibbett's Exciting Life In Rock press launch and things

I must remember to buy tickets to his Ed show before they sell out.

RE: That's exactly why!

I don't know, I find it hard enough to choose jeans when I'm in a shop trying them on, let alone buying them off the back of a picture in an ebay listing. And, judging by the girl in the white jeans with the great ass, these might not be the jeans fo...

RE: Woo we won a "Seven For All Mankind" auction at last!

Is that why there is always a strip of jean auctions down the right side of your site? For some reason those pictures of people's used jeans disturb me - and I can't work out why.

RE: Bring me the head of Jorge Zamudio

It is a nice photo, and a lovely apartment.

I can only assume Jorge has tagged the pic as a reminder to rob your brother in law's apartment sometime in the future. "Note to self, steal fashionably coloured seats by window".

RE: So was that the summer then?

Oh, a job. How much would you pay me, and would I be your boss? I'm down in that there London just now - working and partying. Well, mostly working, but a with little partying.

RE: Hibbett's Edinburgh festival show confirmed for The Medina

Blimey, that's going to be an interesting gig in there. I wonder if they keep the beds...

I shall be there for a performance, he'd better be good!

RE: Folkestone double death plunge smash horror tragedy!

I agree with Claire on this one. While I agree with idea of blogging events, I fail to see why you'd want to look back on the 4th May and read in some detail about how someone you don't know reached a point of desperation where they didn't want to l...

RE: Pirate museum

It's ok, I've already ransacked it for anything worth taking. Which wasn't much, just some Lost DVD's and naked pictures of Kiera Knightly.

RE: House hunt

I like the "not slanderous at all" $10 note comment. That coupled with a picture of the premises in question would never get you into trouble ;) Lovely looking building though - much nicer from the outside than the second one.You like that there Waga...

RE: "Fundamentalist" for the Grand National

I took up the free �25 bet - not through PB - and managed to pick the winner, and net �100. It wasn't through any skill, I just picked one with a cool name that was touted as having a good chance. It's a shame you didn't win, how else are you going t...

popbitch redesign and contest!

See the contest on the homepage, don't enter it though, I want to win! If you really want a Gibson Les Paul, make a video and win a Slash limited edition.Everyone hates the new design. It's not my design, it's not really anyone's any more, bits have ...

RE: New not-comedy on BBC4

Damn, I was looking forward to that program too but I'm out tonight. I hope it's on that there On Demand thingy through my magic Virgin telebroadcaster.

RE: YOU could learn to fix it yourself!

Ha, great stuff :)Just after my rant I remembered I fixed some portable speakers the other day by removing the 3.5mm plug (which had a worn connection) and soldering on the plug from some headphones that had stopped working. Maybe I should make a clo...

RE: Ever feel lacking in skills?

That's crazy talk, and quite an arrogant viewpoint for Wired - screw building a clock out of voltmeters. I've got a degree in electronics but there is no way I'd open up your iPaq to see why it wasn't working. Gadgets are sold as black boxes, and are...

Ever feel lacking in skills?

I do, all my skills are in software, if the power went off tomorrow I'd be SUNK! I wish I had more hardware skills, not just computer hardware, but general mechanics and making and fixing things. Here's an interesting article along those lines from w...

They properly out did you

Now, if my GCSE Double Award Science serves me right, Richter's very handy scale is logarithmic. Which means that the quake in Lincolnshire was TEN TIMES the magnitude of the one you had. Just think how much bigger those cracks could have been....

RE: MJ Hibbett at Edinburgh Fringe

Excellent, I shall make him top of my list of shows to go and see this year. I wonder where he's going to be....

RE: I haven't bought either

I know, but they aren't the ubiquitous force that Sony are.I'd def go and see MJ at the Fringe, although I really didn't like that video he did for FAWM. He's only doing 1 gig in Aug and that's not up here...http://www.mjhibbett.net/gigs/gigs.htm...

RE: Farewell then HDDVD

It's a shame, I'd rather have a smaller, independant company running the show than the likes of Sony. I haven't bought either, but it looks like I'll be getting a PS3 instead of a Wii...

RE: Canterbury Twitter chatter kicking off

That would be an ecumenical matter...

RE: "Sadly disappointed with La Tavernetta"

I'm putting off going home as it'll mean standing for 2 buses in driving rain. It was worse this morning, hail stones the size of billiard balls and they were travelling really rather fast. Not the best on a hangover. Still, had great teppanyaki last...
