Big Gus in centre mid? Bit old no?

Not an AGFW nor a pet hate but a funny comment in my office yesterday... One of the web devs was wearing a Jets T-Shirt (NFL team). I bump into her in the kitchen and say 'Go Jets!... didn't know you were a fan' her reply: "Well, i'm not really... i mean, I don't even know all the characters" CHARACTERS!!! She meant 'Players' but said 'Characters'!!! We both got a good chuckle out of it.

I've missed that dense fucker

Great show. Watched it in a oner. Gandolfini was supposed to play turturo's character apparently. Would have been a completely different vibe. it manages to be really tense and funny at the same time.

Points for me! edit: also, sad

http://nymag.com/selectall/2017/01/worldstarhiphop-founder-lee-odenat-has-died.html Beat this for a 'celeb'! I have no pun but it's a good time to remember the joke about 'Allahu akbar!' being arabic for 'Worldstar!'

See if you can get a measure of the decibel level of the noise? Here in Poland, the landlord isn't obliged to do anything about noises under a certain number. We had banging pipes for weeks, complained about it almost every day, landlord did fuck all about it. As soon as we mentioned decibel level he shot round and fixed it. I dunno if there's something similar in non-poland?

I don't really think it's terrible. There's a tendency to believe that stream of consciousness style is inferior to flowery prose but if done right there's no difference. I felt she fleshed out the Rachel character really well. The rest not so much.

Jon Ronson books are great. Psychopath test is maybe even better than publicly shamed. More interesting anyway if not as funny.

Interesting to see bigsby so low in the unique picks chart (thanks for the data lemon). My list is basically ripped from the existing celeb death list charts on the internet + a few more obscure possibilities + a lol or two. My guess is Bigsby has access to actual medical records. Evil. Sad.

Girl on the train dealt wi... enjoyed it quite a lot. It was like if Miss Marple was an early 2000s T4 programme sponsored by lambrusco. Will watch the film this wknd. heard its shite. About a quarter of the way through 'White Trash: the 400 year untold history of class in America' - i think the author was on a podcast I was listening to and that's why i got it. Good read but heavy on the info. Might take a while.

This happened to me the other day. Boiled my piss. Around my office there are limited outdoor spaces to have a wee sit, eat your lunch and read. It's weirdly warm just now so i went down to this spot the other day. 10 minutes into my blissful isolation up comes 3 of my workies. I say hello and get back to my book. They sit down right next to me - either side of me - and start talking over my head. As if we were all now having lunch together. I continued to try and read for a few minutes but couldn't concentrate so said i was heading back to the office. Now i'm the grumpy one who didn't want to have lunch with everyone. /CSB

Chill out snowflake!

just found out Peter Odemwingie plays for Rotherham now.

top quality quick question answering @Soda van Jerk

Scottyboy is playing the celebrity death version of gengenpressing to our standard 4-4-2. I admire his tactics.

maybe not long enough samples to get a good acoustic fingerprint. Most dj mixes got taken down since they signed deals with the majors. Or maybe sampling is ok and mixes aren't. Dunno, stop grilling me

If you put anything on soundcloud it might get flagged. They have some fingerprinting technology that will pick up on a sample. Alternatively, you could pretend all your music is a clever parody, in which case you can use anything you want. I think that's right? You can use and transform work without consent if it's a commentary or parody.

As for the year in the making thing - I've seen that being thrown about. Quite obviously one logo didn't take one year to design. If you're talking an entire rebrand though, you're encompassing all kinds of stuff from banners on buses to letterheads for office workers. A lot goes into a rebrand beyond the logo. Added onto that is the amount of testing they will have done to arrive at this final look. I thought the premier league rebrand last season was great too. Beyond the inital 'it looks like a cartoon' reaction you can see how the whole brand has bled into everything from the scoreboxes during the games to the MOTM trophies, to the mics the commentators use. It's kinda just normal now and instantly recognisable as the premier league. That's the sign of a good rebrand - not a novelty change but something that will last - I think the similar thing will happen with Juve. Their alternate colours will be interesting to see. The pink with that stark black and white theme will be cool.

It's a good bit of branding. Whether or not it's a nice club crest is debatable - I happen to think it could make an awesome shirt. reading football people critique a bit of graphic design is always funny. Suddenly everyone is an art director. its bold and new and isn't just a spruce up of the existing badge. Hats off to juve imo. spurs have a chicken standing on a beach ball on heir badge.

RIght, i'm giving this a shot this year. 2 down, halfway through the 3rd: Kubrick's Game - Derek Taylor Kent - a trashy page-turner billed as the Da Vinci Code for film nerds. Great one to hammer through to kick things off. Gained very little from it except from a desire to rewatch a bunch of Kubrick films, but enjoyable nonetheless. Barry Lyndon is hugely underrated. The Circle - Dave Eggars - near-future dystopia type thing with a google-alike company that runs everything and spies on folk n shit. Decent. There's a movie coming out, will definitely go see it. reading The Girl On the Train - another wee page-turner before I crack into something a bit more dense. decent so far. I'm also doing a 52 week photography challenge thing which is quite fun, and easy https://dogwood.photography/52weekchallenge2017.html

get em up lemonade!

i guess he'll finally see if his mum does indeed suck cock in hell

beetle drives. How good were they!?
