What's going on with Ireland? It's the size of France all of a sudden.

that kid will be no push-over!

... sorry

I've looked at that thing thousands of times, as it's on a busy route near me. I always thought it was a cat holding a marker pen! Well, it is a busy junction, that's my defense.

BTW, to those who say he is some kind of menace to society - this piece was commissioned as part of Liverpool Biennial (2004) by the local bigwigs. IE, he was asked to do it.

ted, I don't think that is the point of the humour.

In Charlie Brookers show, the one visible on the plasma TV, CB is berating a certain kind of man in advertising. He uses the word "cock" not in it's genital sense but to berate and deflate the men involved.

The humour lies in the fact that the CBSW segment berating bad advertising then shows up by mistake in an advertisement, by a man.

you can watch the original CBSW segment here, you will understand:

yes, you have got the text to this completely wrong.

The show on the TV is "Charlie Brooker's screenwipe", an excellent show where Charlie Brooker heckles TV.

I have no idea who the guy doing the commercial is.

Seems pretty senseless, we geek the meme even then ... they sell very few.
Me, my tender belfry stresses, tested when he expresses per these steps!

I've met ex-SAS blokes that live out that way, I had to re-evaluate my scale of possible hardness.

Kid Icarus, you may remember this from the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy

{Golgafrincham's} people decided it was time to rid themselves of an entire useless third of their population, and so the descendants of the Circling Poets concocted a story that their planet would shortly be destroyed in a great catastrophe. (It was apparently under threat from a "mutant star goat"). The useless third of the population (consisting of hairdressers, tired TV producers*, insurance salesmen, personnel officers, security guards, management consultants, telephone sanitizers and the like) were packed into the B-Ark, one of three giant Ark spaceships, and told that everyone else would follow shortly in the other two. The other two thirds of the population, of course, did not follow and "led full, rich and happy lives until they were all suddenly wiped out by a virulent disease contracted from a dirty telephone".

So, all we need is a large pile of antimatter balanced exactly against the mass of our ship? Sounds a little 'explodey' to me.

I'll be glad when you North Americans take your 2 weeks off from your interminable election cycle so the rest of us can take a breather from this tedious slow-mo bum fight. It's as much fun as watching embittered spouses arguing, and just as rational.

Lots of love,

Am I the only person who thought that A Brief History of Time was pretty simple to understand?
I found it the usual pop-science stuff, various concepts explained in terms which should be comprehensible to the average lay-person.

I'm still surprised how many people don't understand any part of it. Is this tattooed gentleman celebrating his own bafflement?

hmm, the first word that comes to mind is "ruined"

just in case anyone is confused by that last sentence
the turbine soars over Big Ben and roughly equals 111 Queen Elizabeths (the actual queen) plus one corgi these are Imperial units of measurement as used officially in the UK.

5 corgis = 1 queen
500 queens = 1 big ben
128 big bens = 1 windsor

etc.
