  1. Update. Up to halfway through series 7. It's almost unwatchable by this point. By series 6 it was pretty obviously going downhill and almost every episode was just utterly bizarre and packed with comedy. It was like a piss-take. But the last few of S6, and the first lot of 7 have been back to the look and feel of the earlier episodes, but nowhere near as good. 8 and 9 are going to be a real struggle I think, especially since Mulder isn't in them.

    It's an odd show. Throughout the whole thing the good episodes are unmissable but the bad ones are just dreadful. No middle ground.

    The standalone episodes were always hit and miss. The one with jigsaw man (don't know if that's his going by title, the Jim Rose Sideshow guy anyway) was a classic one I recall. I always got bored of episodes that strayed from mulder, his sister and UFO abduction etc.

    I yearn for satisfying arcs in television. The Wire is the ultimate culmination of this disrespect for the mindlessness of TV stand-alone episodes and a generation who won't fucking read. (I should add, I don't read.)

  2. I saw a really interesting documentary on the telly about reincarnation a few years ago. All anecdotal evidence of individuals, of course, but some of it was really inexplicable. In particular, people manifesting birth marks that correspond to death wounds of the persons they claimed to be previously.

    I'm sceptical, myself. Although sometimes, when I'm feeling extra world weary, I wonder how many times I've bumbled through it all and whether I should maybe give Buddha a spin.

  3. Presumably you don't want to buy an Apple lead from PC World 'cos the price squares.

    (that's my super clever apple joke lololololool)

    Internet. Every time. I've come to realise that it's not dehumanising to buy things this way. Dehumanising is having people act like retarded greedy/enslaved robots in your face when you could be deselecting tick boxes on a computer screen.

  4. Well, that wasn't too bad.

    I'm just not sure if I'm an ethnic Scot, if 3/4 of my grandparents were English. I qualify I suppose, but feel fraudulent claiming to be.

    Also, whether I understand Scots lies somewhere to the left on the scale between Aberdeen > Alford and the census should reflect this range IMO.

  5. While its unlikely I'll get to take advantage of this day, I got a blow-job while playing Black Ops on Saturday afternoon. So I don't feel so bad.

    TBH, fellatio while playing MW2 was a lot more enjoyable. There are too many people camping with Ghost Pro in Black Ops and girls seem to use their teeth because of it.

  6. Mine was to put off full-time working more than anything. Never used my degree since getting it 9 years ago.

    Still, they can't take it away from you.

    They can, kind of, by letting many more people attain one with slightly less difficulty.

    It's a bit like inflation, which totally isn't theft either.
