(translation to fit with music etc) Sunday is gloomy, my hours are slumberless. Dearest, the shadows I live with are numberless. Little white flowers will never awaken you, Not where the black coach of sorrow has taken you. Angels have no thought of ever returning you. Would they be...

"Virtuality" was the type of thing you mention. This was a system driven by an Amiga 3000 computer (obviously with some custom hardware). The problem was, the helmets were rather heavy for prolonged use, and a little too cumbersome. Motion sickness couldn't be ruled out, either. I tried it...

I was discussing this with some friends at lunch. The most politically-correct version we could come up with was: Baa baa rainbow sheep, Have you any non-descript keratinous fibrous coating? Yes comrade, yes comrade (can't say sir, that is gender specific) 3 bags full. (this gets better...

If it was Morrison's then he might not have seen one before... Morrison's being the supermarket where I found green peppers in an aisle labelled "Fancy Veg". :lol: Although, he might have been asking a rhetorical question: does anyone actually ENJOY eating a grapefruit? I mean when they...

Unfortunately I haven't been getting on here much, so apologies for the delay in offering some education for Ionkontrol :wink: Ah, "best". That superlative common in the parlance of those who know nothing of computers when describing THEIR favourite system. :shock: What is "best", Nvidia or...

Take out a mortgage first too :wink: My tips: 1) Metro is great and cheap. Buses are also excellent and they even have little electric ones for the narrow roads. HOWEVER: despite their tremendous contributions to culture and civilisations, Italians haven't yet grasped the largely-germanic...

2 things against that: 1) Causality: anyone trying to do this would be incapable of doing it, otherwise Hitler wouldn't be alive in their timeline. 2) if causality CAN be satisfied WITHOUT a paradox, then disrupting the time line may mean the time-traveller ceases to exist... suicide for...

Poor chap. When I'm in a philosophical mood I often wonder: is it better to be ignorant as a cat or a dog might be about the gravity of such a situation, or is it better to know that you are ill? You've done everything you can for him, so IF the worst does happen on Tuesday, your mind...

Damn, you've discovered the new "old-person-drinking tarriff" whereby older people get charged £3+ for a pint... :wink: Since I started drinking in earnest around 1997, pint prices don't really seem to have changed much... I was paying about £2.20 a pint then, I'm paying about the same now...

Just found a site devoted to wobbling your face in front of a camera; http://www.shakeskin.com Awesomeness. :lol:

Call me old fashioned, but I think that sleeping with other men and saying "eff off and stop coming round here!" would be a far better indication of a girl losing "that loving feeling" than the state of her eyelids during a kiss. :wink:

I agree partially with this, but with 2, they can only charge for the water that actually gets to the consumer. So, provided the government or an independent body steps in, there is still an incentive for them to stop wasting water during transport. One of my friends is a chemical engineer...

ROCK AND ROLL MAN, ROCK AND ROLL!!!!! :D

"Buster Gonad" I believe the large-plummed Viz character was called :wink: I thought I should post a few, hopefully one will capture my good side :lol: Ganesh (after a nose-job, of course!) Me doing my "come-to-bed" face (or should it be my "go to bed" eyes?): (by the way...

So we're all going to end up with water meters eventually... I confess that no-one round here seems bothered enough that it has even been a water-cooler conversation, but listening to the radio they had some "man in the street" interviews. The only issue the interviewees raised was "Now...

Remind me never to borrow your phones :shock: :lol: Mobile Smellyphone? I read "Viz", or random factual books. My current one is "What eats wasps?". When building my new bathroom it took a lot of willpower to not install a 12V TFT and get a waterproof keyboard and mouse... otherwise I...

"And now, a man with a tape recorder inside his nose" (Couldn't resist the Monty Python reference! :D ) Or... "I'll blow your horn if you flick your ding-a-lings at the same time" :shock:

"Unorthodox method of giving the bumps results in best birthday ever!" says lady.

Andy, it would probably be quite pricey but I have heard of retrofit xenon headlamps. Despite the dazzling effect of a set in the rearview mirror, they aren't any more powerful. However they are meant to give a better view of the road. Presumably they are more efficient and the blue tinge is...

It's about 4 miles now, but a few years ago I worked in Rome a couple of days each week. 1050 miles each way with an overnight stop in the middle... :lol: ... Was worth it just for the coffee and the secretaries :wink: There is an increasing number of people who commute from Yorkshire...
