Weekly Folly
Merger Info Started by the Mad Scottish pinko about some Hp/Q thing or something. Was just about ignored right off the bat. A bit of abuse here and there, then a little side conversation between Flassman and Kenny, which unfortunately led to some traffic bodging The Flassman ran into, apparently due to some demonstration or something.

With the Mad Scottish pinko around, that surely wasn't going to lead to anything good, and it didn't. There was a whole load of discussion (Predominantly between a sexually frustrated Mr. G and the Mad Scottish pinko) it all seemed to center around someone putting a mustache on a statue of Churchill or something. Blew over the heads of us Colonials I must say.

Holland Newbie Robby (sorry can't think of a good nick for him at the mo, give me a couple of Guinnesses and I'll think of something) had to go to Holland to re-boot the servers, he asked for some advice in dealing with the Tulip heads. No one seemed to have anything bad to say about the Tulip heads, which is rather unusual for this lot. I reckon we can attribute it to marijuana being legal over there; everyone was too stupid to notice an arrogant behavior.

Else the locals were too stoned to be arrogant.

Flassy's "strange fear of stamps, too." Comment begs some elucidation though. There was a rather lengthy discussion of ales available (rather limited input from the potheads I noticed), with the general consensus being Grolsch sucks. Then there was a Tax discussion between The Beancounter ("Ten pounds ninety!") And the Flassman, didn't think there could be anything more boring than a PHP discussion, but I guess if you're English you have to talk about it, what with it taking 97% of your salary and all.

Flassy and Bertie Mark I, started off some discussion about Barbie websites, there must have been some offline discussion or something because it was a little hard to track, unless Flassy and TCB are the same person and talking to themselves.

Carol Vorderman was brought up, don't know who she is, I suspect she's some kind of Vogon or something. After that we moved onto authors and books, which with this lot means sci-fi/fantasy. A bit of Mathematically impossible boasting by the Pimply faced git. Ended with a short geography lesson.

Flat Screen missing, presumed nicked The Pinko Barron continued on with the locating of his LCD whoosie. He looked for ways to get back at his boss. For anyone with direct access to Mr. G's office please contact me directly and I will be happy to summarize the finer points of annoyance for you.

My Girlfriend needs help! Uri made the mistake of letting us know what the woman trapped in his basement his girlfriend does for a living. Turns out she's a geek headhunter, which explain a lot. The search was focused around geeky gamer types, and the conversation was about as boring as you would imagine it would be. Some newbie came in to explain some useless facts.

The newbie started a lot of well-justified sig bashing. Bunch of blather, the only thing of note was AL_V pining for Irish Nurses.

TFT Monitors Piss off Mr. G.

Middle East Conflict This thread was resurrected by a close up view of Flassman's colon. Where in the hell is the damn waitress, I've been out of Guinness for like five minutes now. Maybe standing on the table and dropping my pants will get her attention. Spinola said something about his Dalmatian Himmler or something playing with his poodle, bit disgusting if you ask me.

A little discussion on the fe-mail of the species between me and SGF.

Robocap 2002 OI! CAN I GET A BLOODY GUINNESS OVER HERE! Sorry wrong train of thought. A little more discussion on the FS KRAP what have you done to my computer! * I should note that the original pic that started this thread was quite ironic, as the next day we rode with the police officers in question. Last week was a lot of talk about Flassy's ass, this week was guff about me.

He did the summary last week, and now me, odd isn't it. Anyways, lots of scooter talk.

CPU fans Frigging Mr. G. Can't you make a bloody decision without asking the Drunken sousers club. Monkey elected Mayor of Hartlepool Bloody political discussion. First it was some local bastard Haggis Muhnkey or something. The thread started with Spinola and Mageek going back and forth, then Trotsky jumped in, which attracted Mr. G like a Moth to a lamp. Back and forth blah blah blah. The only reasonable comment in the discussion was made by Tamealien (alias Dr. Evil), as seen in the quote of the week. Why can't we all just get along, I mean hell, nothing is really that important.

This week was blessed by higher than average postings by Mrs. Bertie Mark II and SGF, though that didn't stop the testosterone crowd. Bit of good booze talk in Anti-terrorist stuff. SDMYHIENEY and his rat dog Rosie were on a bit of a vacation, stopped by New Hamster town, and we had a bit of an impromptu OOFG US edition, sorry no piccies, and sorry Gazpacho, not enough notice. SDMYHIENEY felt it important to mention his various stops, well it was more interesting than Mr. G talking about his latest girlfiend. Ohhhhhhh look a frangipile cheesecake!

The place is famous for its whiskey.. I even see occasional bottles of it here. An ad or two even.

Well, I figured there has to be some way to transport the whiskey other than in a drunken Scot. Little paths ain't gonna make it cause they'd bust the barrels rolling em over the rocks the area is comprised of besides crushing that thistle they're so fond of.

Must be roads.
