Only thing is that Johnnie Walker green is not a good whisky, it's quite awful. And since when Heineken and Stella Artois have been premium beers :?

And that's your opinion. You forgot I live in North America, the home of Bud and Corona and other gross beers like that. To us Stella and Heineken are premium brands.

Say you live in a poor country where 99 percent of the cars are old Ladas or something. Can you imagine how exciting it would be then if you walked out one day and saw a BMW 7-Series? Even though most of us living in the first world wouldn't look twice at a BMW. Do you see what I mean? It's all relative.

Plus, this whole discussion started out of my saying that I didn't particularly enjoy drinking liquor, just did so to get drunk. I obviously can't be an expert if I don't like the damn thing.

So... why you all grillin' me?

UGGGHHHHH NOOOOO

I couldn't eat cocoa for about five years...gave me massive migraines. I could only eat white chocolate since it has no cocoa solids. White chocolate=FAIL. It's just sugary fat.

Dark Chocolate on the other hand is great, but I can't really handle much above 70%.

When what you should have said is:

True story: when Dmitri Kharine signed for Chelsea in the early 1990s, he was, like the vast majority of Russian footballists, driving a Lada. He was Russia's first-choice keeper at the time, and walked straight into the Chelsea first team. The first thing he did when he arrived in London was to buy a Vauxhall Cavalier. The Vectra was still 2-3 years away.
 
TURKEY: THE CITY OF BATMAN TO SUE WARNER BROS
(ANSAmed) - ANKARA, NOVEMBER 6 - The major of Batman, the small city in South-East Turkey, announced its intention to sue Warner Bros. for its Batman movie franchise. According to press reports in Turkish dailies, the major Huseyin Kalkan has said that they are preparing to sue the producer of the Batman film, who is claimed to make money by using the towns name, and has that they are investigating on the matter whether the case should be opened in the US or in Turkey. "There is only one Batman in this world," said Kalkan. "Without telling us, the US makers of the films have taken the name of our region." Kalkan said that they will use the compensation that they will obtain from the case for women and street children in Batman. Kalkan has criticized that, in spite of the large revenues of the worldfamous Batman film, the Batman Municipality, where women commit suicide and where children live on the streets, have not undertaken anything on this topic. About their expectations about the compensation he said: "If we win compensation, we will see in court how much of the revenues it will be. We expect our share from the revenues. If we win the case, we will use all the rights we won for service to the Batman people and to the street children there." When it comes to the statement that the English version of Batman and the name of Batman city are being used in different meanings, Kalkan said that Batman means "weight, heaviness", and that different meanings did not interest them. The very first filmed Batman was the 1943 serial with the first full-length feature being the 1966 movie with the television cast. More recently, The Dark Knight amassed USD 992,764,009 in global box office receipts according to Box Office Mojo. (ANSAmed).

Warning, this is a completely random and spontaneous insight into my life which will just waste your time. Thank you for not listening.

Man I didn't realise Guy Hands was so rich. After posting this I randomly looked him up.

Basically he lives less than a mile from me (see picture for his house), and everyone knows he is rich, but I'd never looked into what his company does/owns. His company 'Terra Firma' basically owns Odeon Cinemas (biggest cinema chain in Europe with UCI, which Hands also owns), EMI (he runs it badly, but still runs it), until recently WRG (huge waste recycling company with places all over the UK) and a load of hotels across the UK (run by his wife). His house, which used to be a college before it was left, he bought run down spent a lot of money (I mean a lot) on it, then more recently refurbished it again (with marble floors etc) for supposedly around ?40m, was once presented to Churchill.

Now I'm sure if you live just up the road from Beverly Hills or some other 'this is where everyone rich lives' this will all seem mundane and boring to you, but this guy went to the same school as me (we have The Hands Library, built in 2003). It all seems pretty close to me - and surprises me.

And also - supposedly (this is only a rumour) Katie Price and Peter Andre live near here aswell, as there is a very good blind school in my town. Gloria Hunniford lives here, as does Peter Sissons (BBC News presentor), as does Jayne Torvill (the ice-skater - I've met her). Makes me feel poor and unimportant. Oh well, nothing changes.

You can soon change that. Burn them, burn them all... And you'll be the talk of the town.
 
A kid at my school got caught looking at porn, the IT dept is now monitoring our usage (cough*spying*cough).

The teachers said that if we were doing um bad things on the computer that the IT will come and rain hell down upon us.
 
All Stephen Colbert needed was a gag and a pinball table, and hordes of Who fans would have erupted in cheers. Still, halfway is better than no way.

Yeah we can spy on our users without them knowing, or just lock their keyboard and mouse and take over.

But that's just wrong. And I should add that I don't do that. Not yet anyway. :|

Er, it's probably against your Terms Of Use to use school PCs to look at porn.

So I guess spying for nekkid ladies is justified?

Be glad you don't have dodgy filtering software that emails the IT department as soon as it comes up against entirely common words (like 'ass').


Sidenote - at school once, many years ago, I accidentally went to the wikipedia page for 'fisting' (don't, at work or school). Instant removal of my internet use and a rather embarrassing meeting with the depute head.

Worst thing is, someone had (anonymously) sent me it in an email, knowing exactly that would happen...
