What's the point of a android tablet btw? Is it not just a slightly bigger desire that you can't ring people off?

Dar you go. WD are pretty much bullet-proof. I have the 1TB model for going on 2 years now. Never had a problem and decent transfer speed. Quiet too.

I thought komplett had gone down hill in the last while? A lot of people on boards were saying to avoid them?

I have a toilet related query for the BBV. I was at the Mogwai gig last night and waiting to go for a piss. A guy told the guy next to him that he had the dreaded double stream and was actually pissing himself in a public place. Seemed like a reasonable thing to say until the guy pissing himself told the guy that he shouldn't be looking at his cock which is againalso a reasonable thing. I just wanted to check if the all wise BBV thinks that it is right to tell the guy or not. It was admitadly funny and im glad he pointed it out so that we could all laugh at his pissy trousers

Guy A shouldnt have been pissing close enough to guy B for guy B to see Guy A pissing himself.

[Wesley Harms]

Guy A shouldnt have been pissing close enough to guy B for guy B to see Guy A pissing himself.

Unless it was Icarus, then he was probably there all night waiting for the opportunity

[daire]

Guy A shouldnt have been pissing close enough to guy B for guy B to see Guy A pissing himself.

Think this might qualify for extenuating circumstances, it depends on how crowded the toilets were. Half-time and full-time at matches and straight after gigs all urinals are fair game imo as all etiquette-compliant ones are usually taken.

I've never met a woman who understands urinal etiquette. No matter how long you spend explaining it to them they just look at you like a dog that's been shown a card trick.

[Emmet]

Nothing worse when you walk into a three urinal bathroom and the only one in use is the one in the centre.

Exhibitionist/rapist/serial killer/murderer always runs through my head when that happens.

Best to steer clear of those people imo.

In order to clarify it was just before they went on stage and indeed all the urinals were in use meaning you que up and take the next available slot. Was about 10 people waiting and so if you had metioned that you want atleast 4 foot of space either side of you before you go I dont think ti would have happened. They are also individual urinals so spacing was dictated by this and not by choice.

[ghostface]

What!?

Just don't go to the cinema you weirdo!

Booked tics already, actually expect Barca to dominate so may not be the best of matches

Speaking of Bathroom ethics
Many moons ago in a far away land 1997, I was at the European Championship Qualifier, Belgium V Ireland in Brussels, and was drinking in a bar in town before the match (as you do)

The big thing then in Brussels was unisex toilets.... Jaysus the Irish cannot do unisex toilets,
Anyway with the beer being consumed, and the fact I only have only the one kidney, I had to use them... Needless to say the Jacks was packed with men and only 2 of us women in the queue. All the lads were doing the business up against the urinals, but for some unknown reason people kept talking to myself and the other girl

the usual nonsense, "howya love, going to the Match?"", eh yep what was the giveaway, the Ireland Jersey, scarf, hat maybe

Anyway I eventually get to the top of the queue, and there is only 5 bathroom Stalls, so I'm praying "please please please god let it be a women coming out of the toilet", but nop this 6Ft fucker comes out of the jacks, in a sweat... and actually goes red....

"Jesus love he says, wouldn't go in there.. had Pea and Ham Soup last night, not pretty"... I proceed to do a Uturn and head out of the bathroom to the chant of "cheerio cheerio cheerio"...

Unisex bathrooms are stupid

[colquhom]

Dunno if people have seen this, Its a pity he was such an incompetent leader because I think this encapsulates a lot of whats truly special about this country.

ha ha no. Ihave done something similar before. Bought the tics online and go cinema. All fine, chap lets me in and then usher shows me to the seats. Sitting there for 10 mins and a couple come up and say thats my seat, grand I think must have sat in wrong seat. The tics were same seat tho, just for the night before Anyway back out I go and get them changed, great crack

[Emmet]

Wow, what a remarkably simple yet brilliant idea.

A Gym Where It Costs You to Skip a Workout
By FREAKONOMICS
A lot of people who join gyms or health clubs find it very easy to stop going. Gym-Pact, a new program in Boston, aims to change that. “Gym-Pact offers what [co-founder Yifan] Zhang calls motivational fees: customers agree to pay more if they miss their scheduled workouts, literally buying into a financial penalty if they don’t stick to their fitness plans,” explains Susan Johnston of The Boston Globe. “The concept arose from Zhang’s behavioral economics class at Harvard, where professor Sendhil Mullainathan taught that people are more motivated by immediate consequences than by future possibilities.” Gym-Pact launched a small pilot program last fall at Bally Total Fitness in Boston, and expanded its program at two Planet Fitness gyms in Boston in 2011. Currently, participants are fined $25 if they fail to follow the schedule in any given week, but Gym-Pact’s founders are still refining their model. ”Zhang and [Geoff] Oberhofer plan to tweak the fee structure to allow it to be customized to a customer’s goals. Future iterations may include a combination of discounted gym memberships and smaller penalties that apply daily rather than weekly.” (HT: Marginal Revolution)

I have a Dell laptop from 2006 that is pretty clunky and slow but still works fine. Would it be possible to strip this to somehow use solely as a media player with my TV?

Feeling a lot better about this bet, than I did just a few days ago. If that 12% poll result is even close to the actual election they'll get well below 20.
