4 miles square is 2 miles long by 2 miles wide. The height is 2 miles also so it's a perfect cube?!?

A 4 mile cube is 4x4x4

[Lazare]

2m wide by 2m high is 4m sq, but if it's 2m deep it's 2m cubed.

2m cubed is vastly bigger than 4m sq.

[Lazare]

Ah I see what you were saying now.

Each face of the cube would be 4m square.

Why didn't you just say it would be 2m wide and 2m tall ye banana

[Lao Lao]

I never said it was a 4 mile cube, I said it was four miles square and two miles tall

Four square miles is 2 miles by 2 miles - it is also 2 miles high, then it is a perfect cube as all sides are 2 miles

Finally got around to seeing Dunkirk, didn't really get the hype. Some nice visuals but I cared little for the characters. It was fairly short so they really could have bulked it out and added some depth in there earlier in the film.

Tom Hardy nearly on mcgregor levels of big payday for minimal effort.

Massive disappointment. Hated the editing. English man's son dies at the hands of a mad allied solder and he hardly bats an eyelid. WTF.

So he should have made the film longer to include stuff he purposely veered away from. The lack of backstory and you not caring for the characters was part of what he was going for.

That wasn't his son, it was his sons friend. He was probably pretty used to people dying.


Story just played it too safe, actually have some characters die films, thanks.

Someone really needs to explain to Simon Harris that his alcohol plan makes no sense. Hopefully the rest of party manages to keep obstructing him.

Its the exact copy of Leos plan though, that makes it tough for any up-and-coming go-getter on the backbenches to point out its flaws.

Ah there are non one direction music world people also.
If it's got 50cent in it, it'll be shit. So I avoid.

Maxi and I aren’t speaking since the mid 90s.



I don’t know what your old man told you but here is the true story.* *TL DR etc

*

We were drinking in D4 *in the mid 90s *(I was a rambunctious scallywag) .* We were to head to a party in Shrewsbury road later,so in the bar Maxi was cosying up to our pal Timmy. She dated his older brother and was moving cougar style

on young 21 year old Timmy and was dating him a few weeks.She was about 20 years older than all of us but sure shag an experienced celeb who wasn’t the worst looking so who could blame him. Anyway we were at the bar talking and Maxi was

bullshitting/namedropping away. Anyhoo I asked her did she have any younger sisters I could date, someone perhaps in their mid 40s.(I wanted a cougar too) Anyway she took great offence to that comment and throw a martini (yuk) over my shirt.

Other amusing related stuff happened but later at the party we chilled out by the pool and she seemed in better form. On Monday in work she sent me an email apologising and telling me Timmy explained how I was off my rocker most of the time and my intention was to get her to laugh and not insult her(* cant remember if I was or not)

I’m not proud of my tomfoolery around that time but rest assured if you are dating a celebrity right now and I enquire if she has a sister in her late 40s. I may genuinely be interested this time. (don’t tell the missus)

Our servers, and the associated support staff are largely based in Houston, so it took a lot longer than normal to fix the problem. Until this week the site has been pretty stable for a good while, so hopefully this won't be a recurring thing. I have less free time to chase things and try and fix anything as well, so the combination meant it was offline for longer than I'd like. I was doing my best though to get it online, and we finally got there.

Apologies, but largely out of my hands unfortunately.

[6starpool]

I have the site to myself, it's great. I should take off my pants.

The hosting company, as part of rectifying this outage for us (which I should clarify, was not caused by the storm, but was delayed in being fixed due to support staff not working) have restricted the site access to the IP of my home network, which was a very bright idea. I have asked them to fix this, but obviously none of ye will see this until it's back up, so hey, hum.

I've had a quiet few days as well and today I have a ton of stuff to do. Bloody typical. But since my office is in my house I can still browse when I want I guess. But can't imagine there will be too much happening here for a bit.

On Houston, there are some shocking scenes coming from there, the weather seems horrific. I have friends close by to where it is the worst and the stories coming from there about people trapped and people getting killed are just awful.

Just rang Elton back there and told him to hold off on that song.

Just walked my kids to school and noticed traffic volume has doubled overnight (all schools back).

Giving each child a bike, a helmet and mandatory training would be the best investment the country could ever make.

One of mine did a six week course in school last year, he'd shame most adult cyclists now.

A few bike lanes for them to keep out of the traffic in would help.

It should be a crime to drive any kid less than 2Km to school.

Went to South Korea for a few days last week for work; didn't leave Seoul over the five days and didn't need to, there's a lot going on! Very interesting place and I think we got lucky when it came to the weather, were warned it would be over 30 degrees each day and that the air quality was the worst in the world, but it had actually rained a good bit recently so was only mid-high 20s and the air seemed fine (gets worse in spring I believe).

Needed the cooler weather as I had to do a corporate photoshoot followed by attending a wedding on Saturday and so obviously was wearing my woolen Irish suit The Koreans are great, some very similar traits to us (at least when compared to their neighbours to the east and west), they love to party hard. Was a tough enough journey getting there for such a short trip, 14 hours flying time each way via Germany. Hopefully will make it back sometime in the future for a proper holiday!

Well, seeing as you are at a loose end now, time to earn the big wage IPB pays you. I'll even double your wages if you do a good job figuring out the db problem we've been having.
