Yeah that guy Bill has paid me to say Zelda is bad.

He's been added to the kill list then. Bad investment.

Going on honeymoon soon. Determined to buy a pair of trousers so I can call them 'Japants'.

Thanks, Jim - I do have the added advantage that I am now in Japan to get 'em.

Have amazing time Zero! I'm expecting you to come back with lots of top tips for getting the most out of dat Japan life.

I've always wanted to go to Japan with a partner. Jealous. Have a brilliant time!

I think I'm in a bit of a mood lately, so sorry if I come across as extra grumpy or anything.

Anyone else think grumpy Drunka is probably still happier and more optimistic than most of the rest of us? (Apart from where the recent GitS movie is concerned.)

Has he seen GitS? or am I missing something?

I slagged it off on facebook then went back and deleted the messages because they were way too moany for a reply to my mum

So today I joined my brethren in the intellectual super-sphere by committing the most intelligent act a human can perform: sticking ones finger in a bottle top and getting it stuck!


Truly I am the next Einstein!

I've done that more times than I can count, my friend. Also, if I'm drinking tea from a cup with a silly little one-finger hole.

I forgot the "classy" teacups have those dorky not-even-large-enough-for-a-finger handles.

I don't use them a lot because honestly, they never hold enough tea. Mugs are barely enough for me, let alone cups. I ten to use a big oversized novelty mug where I can.

I woke up today feeling odd. I have come to the conclusion that, for the first time in eons, I'm actually sick. Flu of course, if the chronic weakness, rampant temperature (jokes on the flu, I can save money on the heater!) really sore throat, and noticeably slower tempo of music are any indication.


Also mugs for life!

All about the mugs.

We have enough mugs at home for me to issue every non-zero posts forumite with one.

MUG COUNT

I have thirteen. Ten in my home flat, two in my weekdays-to-prevent-commuting flat, and one at work.

Best ones are a Phoenix Wright mug that the girlfriend gave me, a mug with a Lady Macbeth quote and splatters of blood on it, and a one with pigs on.

Got four mugs myself, three plain and one swanky Mighty Morphin Dalek's one for when I need to exterminate my thirst.

Random Question time... Is it a bit weird to sit on Google maps for 7 hours straight?

The context to go with the question is where I work I basically sit and watch for alarms to come through (it is beyond boring since not allowed my 3ds / Switch anymore) and when said alarm comes through we get all the details like address etc, well the one I've mentioned before is google mapping the clients addresses to basically google map stalk them

Not if the job demands it of you Shanksy! In your own time... well we all have some weird hobbies I suppose!

No we only monitor sites we don't go, this thing literally looks up clients and checks it their houses and that. If it was for directions sure. But yeah to me it's weird looking at our clients, if it was in general sure no problem, I tend to have the odd look when I'm bored

I'm sure it's fine, as long you're not sending them letters or anything.

Why do Microwaves go for up to 30/40 minutes?

I think some things are maybe best defrosted by putting them on for a long time at the lowest setting?

That is true. It's also a throwback to the 80s, when they were still trying to convince people a microwave is ultra-convenient and the only oven they'll ever need, even though cooking a proper bit of meat in the microwave requires so much stop/stir/starting.
