I have no idea what you've just said, but I feel sorry for you.
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

I was unfortunate enough to witness just now the most disgusting, wasteful display of bowling in a 1 day international cricket match that I have ever seen.

Australia made 239. In reply Sri Lanka were 8-107. Yep, that's right 8 wickets down for 107. We were bowling to a fricking number 10 batsman for fucks sake, AND SRI LANKA WON WITH ALMOST 6 OVERS TO SPARE!!! :p :( :D :p

Mathews and Malinga simply flayed our bowlers to all parts of the ground with ridiculous ease, it was almost like a comedy at times. Someone needs to have a VERY strong word to our bowlers about line and length. It was always too fucking short or too fucking full. That's when it was anywhere near the right line.

This game should go down in history as a salutary lesson in how to lose the unloseable. Wresting defeat from the jaws of victory.

Not good enough.

I hear you Sombra. That would have to be the worst game we've played in decades. Bangladesh could've topped that performance. Utterly atrocious.

the elections in America and especially in my home state. It was like watching common sense and decency get raped repeatedly. Kind of like that Jodie Foster movie. Disturbing.

Point him to 4chan. He can moan about anything and voice his opinion on whatever he feels like, he's not wasting your time and the allure will probably keep him in his office all day...


I could, if not for 4chan being blocked at work. Besides which, many of the topics posted there may well make him decide I am some sort of deviant for recommending it, and that would severely hurt my pay scale.

How old is your brother?
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly.

Awkward would be finding anyone in your family IN one of those clips. Yeah that would be awkward.

Yes. However, if his brother decides telling mum is the most entertaining way to exploit the find, then brother finding out leads to mom finding out.

I'm still amazed by the amount of people taping themselves in action. I mean, Trainspotting basically warned against it when VHS was still viable.... however, if you do porn professionally, well, the chance is there.

Pray, do tell? :p

(don't ask) just heightens the need for my already quite well developed curiosity to be sated.

Dont you work as a ICT consultant or something?

A couple of years ago, two of the people I went to school with decided to video themselves, which turned out to be a bit of a disaster when one of the girl's friends (who had wanted revenge for something or other) found the video on her phone and bluetooth'd it to everyone that she could.

Don't know whether it actually got on to the internet (I'm sure it must've done though) but it definitely made its way around at least three schools in the area.

...How embarrassing.

ANYWAY!

My brother (older brother) seems to have dealt with this problem by removing it from the universe. Hell, that's what I'd do.

I am on guard today. 24 hours of bleah, except for the entertaining period between 11pm - 5am when all the drunks roll home and expect us to pay for their cabs because they ran out of money and threw up in them. :p

But Fridays are a half day for everyone else ... :)

On the up side, at least we can have our laptops.

I am also peeved that I can not afford this:

$200m Beluga super yacht 'emperor of the seas'

* By Kate Schneider
* From: news.com.au
* November 05, 2010 9:51AM

The yacht features two living levels that are connected by a glass staircase and mezzanine.

A NEW superyacht designed to resemble the shape of a whale is set to offer the ultimate in luxury - for $200m.

Unveiled at the Monaco Boat Show last week, the Beluga yacht won the title of 'The Best New Super Yacht Concept'.

But the ship is not just a concept – its designers are in talks with a major Dutch manufacturer to produce the vessel.

The spacious yacht features two living levels connected by a glass staircase and mezzanine.

The sunroof opens like the mouth of a whale and measures 100 square metres, a spokesperson for Pure-sang, the company that designed the yacht, said.

The owner’s suite is located on the roof in an oval, glass room while the belly of the Beluga holds five luxury suites with extendable balconies and ensuite spa.

The front of the yacht will include a beach club with a 14m long swimming pool, cocktail bar and a lounge area spanning two levels.

Also on board will be a gym, theatre, bar, library and greenhouse.

It can accommodate 30 staff in separate facilities, including their own living area and kitchen.

The tender garage can transform into a nightclub with a glass-lit dance floor and sound system.

The boat was also inspired by the fairytales of Moby Dick and Pinocchio.

Damn ethernet cable went missing while i was out. My room mates trying to say he has no clue what happened when he's the only other person with a key to our room. Now i'm stuff on my wireless that only works about a quarter of the time. It also means that i can't get on our DC++ network to download my stuff.:p

Confront him with the fact that it could only be him unless he had masses of people in the room that he paid no attention to while you were out, thus also making it his fault.

This is just one of the reasons why having room-mates (as opposed to house-mates where you have your own separate lockable room) is a VERY STUPID IDEA.

Fuck, I'm bored. Just spent the last couple of hours on guard going through my contacts list on my (old) phone and typing the lot into an excel spreadsheet because it won't save them to the SIM, and it doesn't have bluetooth. I think from now on I'll keep the amount of numbers on my actual phone to a minimum of frequently-called numbers, and leave the rest and any more I collect on the spreadsheet, changing as need be. Sort of like a large Contacts squad, feeding into the elite Contacts that make the Contacts team. :)
