Good times.
I guess my biggest claim to fame is Noel Gallagher of Oasis. They were my no-1 band growing up so to meet him, and actually shake his hand and chat with him was pretty cool. I've met the whole band since then but meeting him when I was 16 was great. I've got other claims to fame but none I can be bothered to mention, and none that beat Dayv's Nirvana story.

Nobody 'declares' themselves an employee of FrobozzCo. You can apply and be considered like everyone else. Although your 'declaration' has seriously damaged any chance you may have had of being officially hired. I believe my highly competent Manager and buddy Sybe has already explained this:

Adamwankenobi is not the assistant manager of FrobozzCo. Adamwankenobi never will be the assistant manager of FrobozzCo. "Adamwankenobi" and "assistant manager of FrobozzCo" will never be synonyms. The managerial staff at FrobozzCo reserves all rights to determine which persons are and will be a part of the managerial staff of FrobozzCo. Adam, you're not any manager of FrobozzCo. End of discussion.

This has been an official statement from the management of FrobozzCo.

P.S Now we all know what a Grue is and we all know that FrobozzCo is breeding them (and is the only organisation with the know-how and expertise to do so), I suggest nobody mess with us.

I'm totally at the other end of the spectrum. I can sleep for 8, even 10 hours, and still not be refreshed when I wake up. I have weird dreams, too. Last night, I was a best-selling children's author. Same here - I am always tired, whether I got a good night sleep or not. I've been to countless doctors about it but apparently there's nothing wrong with me. I can only assume that I'm not actually getting the 8 hours sleep I think I am because I am actually being abducted by aliens and experimented on for 6 of those 8 hours but then they wipe my memory so I think I was sleeping the whole time.

I recently dreamt I was in the Russian Revolution. I swear it was an actual past life memory.


Do you remember which side you were on? And if you bit the big one?

I was just a worker, but I must have done something to piss someone off because some guards tried to restrain me and I escaped and was helped by a girl (who looked like someone I went to school with but didn't really know too well). One of my good friends was also there, so I see it as meaning 2 things - it could just be my brain using people from my life as characters in a meaningless dream, or it could mean that I have met these people before in past lives. I think the dream was set before the actual revolution, while the Tsar was still in power, so I guess I was on the side of the revolutionaries. It was pretty scary and felt real. The thing is, a little later I had another dream set in current times of someone telling me that my revolution dream was an actual memory and I have a job to do here on earth and will keep being reborn until it is complete.

AS SOON AS I MADE IT HOME, WHICH ONLY TOOK 1-1/2 MINUTES FROM A FEW MILES AWAY, WE RUSHED HIM TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM. HE'S FINE THOUGH, BUT NOW WE HAVE YET ANOTHER MEDICAL BILL TO PAY.
Which is why I love the NHS

All this taunting of AWK without me?!
Can someone PM me too?

Back on-topic, I am 5 posts away from 1700, and six posts away from 1701. Anybody know the significance of that number? If you do, then you are a GEEK.


Beam me up! 1701 is the registration number on the Starship Enterprise of Kirk's day through Enterprise-E. (Not the one on the show Enterprise, though)

You are correct!!
It's also my birthday (17th January) - In England we say the day first, month second.

The legendary "Starkiller Ranch" Thread
Time
Threepio being built by Anakin then living with Owen Lars for a decade than ending up as Luke Skywalker's mother's valet, then ending up as counterpart to R2, who Leia just happens to choose to hide the death star plans in, then finding his way BACK to the Lars farm where he becomes the property of his builder's son? That is just too inplausible.

OK, I'm no editor, so I don't know if this will work, but I think you need to cut Threepio from Episode 1 entirely. Have him gone 100%. Paint the mofo out if needs be. He serves NO purpose.

Episode 2 - Again, no threepio. What purpose does he serve apart from to get his head put on a battle droid's body and utter the line 'this is such a drag'. I think what you need to do is re-dub Threepio's Lars Farm lines to a defferent voice so that it is a different droid. He's all rusty and shit so he doesn't even look like threepio anyway. In the current version of AOTC, Anakin and Padme show up at the farm and Anakin recognises Threepio. He then says ' I'm here to see my mother'. All you need to do is cut the recognition part, so Anakin and Padme show up and say to this random droid 'I'm here to see my mother'. We then cut to inside the homestead and the scene plays out as is. If possible you could have this random Lars droid say 'and you are...?' to which Anakin replies 'I'm Anakin Skywalker'. In the next scene Owen says to Anakin 'I always expected you to show up' or something like that, so the droid would recognise the name skywalker (because of Shmi) and take Anakin to Poppa Lars to break the news of her kidnapping by the sand people.

In the original Anakin takes 3po with him when he leaves Tatooine, but there must be some way around this.

The whole nasty droid factory crapness can be cut, as can all Threepio's scenes in the latter part of the movie, then, the first time we see R2 and 3PO together in episode 3 (which is after Anakin, Obi-Wan and R2 rescue Palpatine, threepio is one of the people waiting to greet them and him and R2 have a few lines together) you just insert a line of threepio saying 'hello, I am seethreepio', artoo beeps in reply, threepio says 'pleasd to meet you' and they walk off together. The two droids then play supporting roles in episode 3 and really come into their own in the OT. It's almost like we hand them the torch to carry on the story from the prequels to the OT. I understand why George felt the need to have them in all 3 films but the point of this edit is to make it work as a 6 part saga, which at the moment it doesn't.

Artoo and Threepio's love/hate relationship in the OT will have developed during their time on the Tantive IV. Remember, back in '77 nobody knew who these two droids were, what they had been through, etc, and we all just accepted their relationship as it was. It is perfectly fine to show very little of them in episode 3 then have their relationship fully developed in 4, which is set 20 years later.

spider-man 3
Time
Just decided to give up. My Dad had a drink problem that put me off. Never had a problem myself, but seeing him take his life and flush it down the toilet was enough for me. Never really liked drinking anyway, it was always just a social thing so I figured 'what's the point?'. I'd rather have some fruit juice or something. As for the weed, well basically I just had enough. Smoked a shitload, then stopped. Not really sure why - just didn't feel like it anymore. I do miss it from time to time though.

What this has to do with Spider-man, I have no idea. Although Kirten Dunst looks like she could do with a break from the ol' ganja and a good wash, so maybe we are still slightly on-topic.

Adam, seriously man, you need to knock these kind of posts on the head. Telling us you would like to see a 7 year old girl being breast fed is just not cool.

Ric, maybe in June if you're there for a longer period I might visit you (provided you don't die in a plane crash).

Nanner, Notting Hill is pretty good.

For some reason I thought Warbler was in his 40s. Must be his Avatar, or perhaps the constant sighing.

When the SEs came out they were giving away Star Wars Pogs in crisps (chips for the yanks). I collected the whole set and got the folder to keep them in. Ah, Memories.

P.S Adam, I've seen loads of photos of HLF. Jealous?

Using British Computers In The U.S
Time
Well, I went home and had a look behind my computer, and there is indeed a voltage switch (hidden underneath a sticjer), so my computer will be going with me to America. As for the monitor, It's pretty big so even if it will work abroad, by the time I've shipped that S.O.B I may as well just put the money towards a new one - good excuse to get a flat screen.

Thanks for all the help guys. I may have some more compatibility questions in the near future.

X-Men 3
Time
I saw Patrick Stewart perform a one-man production of a christmas carol and it was great. The man is an acting God.

But X3? Looks ok I guess, but VINNIE JONES as Juggernaut? Are you kidding me? The guy's a footballer, not an actor. I don't know if maybe they thought it would be cool because he's English and America kind of digs on English stuff, but I say - bad idea.
