No, his main greatness is his newspaper column. Whilst I think he's alright on TV, he comes across way better when he's writing for The Guardian. You can read most of his stuff on The Guardian website, or I believe HMV have collections of selected articles for under a fiver.

He seems out of his depth when he discusses politics. Anything on the student protests by him is often quite cringe inducing but the last segment of Screenwipe on how the media portrayed the demonstrations/riots was spot on.

But that's just playing to the bias of The Guardian's readership. Any comment column in a newspaper has to do that which is why I hate them all.

What??? Srsly?

He's Konnie Huq's husband. Everone knows that.

That's what he's envied for, more, tbh. *.wipe is his main greatness.

Quality roundup, some bare lols.

I've gone down this route before and got riddled with virus'/spyware/etc. And it always takes fuckin ages for stuff to load via vpn unless you pay for a good one. Cheers tho.

I'm missing out on iplayer and spotify for the moment but Hulu aint too shabby.

Yeah the free ones are a bit shady, but I got to enjoy a bit of Hulu also before I decided to get rid of it.

Woah woah woah... Finding out you can only use Spotify in the states for 14 days. What am I gonna do now?!? I'm not paying 9.99 a month. If it was half that then maybe but I find that a bit pricey. Fuck, that's annoying.

You need a VPN that'll cludge you a UK IP address. Works for iPlayer also

lol, I forgot about this but if you like late nineteenth century porn style shots, yeah....

merry christmas all. I'm all up in tha quality street.

lol @ the icicles hanging off the Sky dishes in my street.

Glad to get out of this muck and finally nail my door shut for christmas.

Or, have sex with a woman/man, depending.

I did once see a 'cookies and blowjobs' offer for help with a young ladies laptop problems on another forum but, on top of the other stuff she was posting, that was her off in tears once the responses came in.

What the fuck is a ping?

it's basically the time it takes for a packet of data to reach another computer and back to your's again, measured in ms. the higher the ping, the longer it takes. in gaming, low pings are generally desirable as it means the game data is being updated to your computer faster, which could be movements of characters, firing data etc. potentially giving you an advantage over other players or at least not putting you at a disadvantage.

This is annoying. Mrs Bigsby and her sister get up early every boxing day to go and every year I tell them not to bother as the staff take stock out at random through the day.

Seems I speak shite.

According to a guy I was workign with, the Union Square store doesn;t actually have a stock room (or not a proper one) so people getting frustrated with the staff because they don't have their size in but there's nothing they can do.

Here's to finishing with work at Christmas

yeah, the real deal! Unlike those skinny jean freaks with their fucking 'journals' lol

I am a gamer, but when you are as good as me you don't need low pings.

people don't realise that some monitors/TVs can add as much as 50ms lag to the display update also. games compensate for high pings, these days, with mixed results but I can still have a decent enough game of COD, late night when Americans are on, with my average broadband.

wow, it's really -13 out there? Nice and wintry, wouldn't want to be out in it too long though.

The slush turned back into snow. I don't think I've seen that for a while o_O

The i3 thing will take longer to get off the ground as it doesn't have government funding and are not allowed to use BT ducting so provides a lot of issues in Aberdeen that are hard to over come. It was a problem for Aberdeen Cable/Atlantic cable and they had permission most of the time.

That remains to be seen. Fibre CIty already rolled it out in Bournemouth, retrofitting the sewers with their network. Dundee will be the nearest city in Scotland their project is to be implemented in so keep an eye on that. I know they've had some problems with the water companies in England but if Scottish Water and the city planners give it the go ahead, we could see FTTH available as well as BT's FTTC solutions. True competition for broadband provision in our area, a fine thing for consumers

I know people say happy holidays in the States, but it seems to be more of a nod to their Jewish heritage as Hanukkah is also a seasonal holiday. Never heard anyone use it here.

My god, this is more Cruise than Gibson. o_O he is absolutely, genuinely batshit mental.

How about BT just sucks my fucking dick? Cunts.

A difficult request to fulfill when they're already fucking you in the arse, I'd imagine.

wow, I seem to have lost 4/5ths of my bandwidth.

same line, lol.

Fujitsu to support i3 Group with delivery of UKs largest FTTH initiative | i3 Group

FTTH, much better.

Amazing Steam deals on if you haven't seen already. BFBC2 for 6.50 (ish) kind of amazing.

Just comment on all her statuses, referring to her as a "Chunk". Never once, not once, explain that "chunk" is a cross of "chav" and "punk".

it's fine she'll probably just assume he's calling her out as a fat arse, which no matter how thin she is she, like all women, she'll think it to be true. This will finally tip her over the edge of depression into a downward spiral of alcohol, drugs, and momentarily assuring sexual encounters eventually resulting in her suicide (after numerous cries for help), leaving her motherless child to grow up in care, sodomised by pedophiles and eventually working the streets as a crack addicted prostitute.

Facebook lol.

I'd say they've probably raped whatever song it is, whoever did it was. people try to talk to me about this kind of thing and my flat response seems less acceptable than contempt but I don't see how I could possibly get worked up about TV too beige to care about.
