I love the Mighty Boosh :luv:

I know that you all still love me really.

Fielding on his own, not all dressed up on panel shows is funny.

Barratt was amazing in Barley

But I just don't find the boosh funny at all

Dimrill · **Posted:** Wed Oct 28, 2009 22:41

Barratt was also good in Dark Place.

I didn't find it funny the first time I watched it but when I gave it another chance I enjoyed it. I know that it is widely disliked but I don't mind

That episode is pretty great, yeah

I just saw a scary trailer for a film and now I am scared to go for my bath alone :'(

Drag your PC into the bathroom and you can bathe with us all. Now isn't that an appealing thought?

But then my monitor might switch itself off again! I am going to just go for it.

I survived my bath. Now I smell lovely because I used Radox bubble bath and Japanese Cherry Blossom body butter (my favourite). I don't want to go to sleep but I don't want to be tired tomorrow

being a grown up is rubbish sometimes. Unless you are a rich grown up. That's what I want to be.
In other news, I started reading The Time Travellers Wife again today. I bought it when it was first published and I loved it but then I lent it to someone and lost it. My little sister found it amongst her things the other day. I wasnt going to read it again because I didn't remember it very well and was worried I would find it rubbish now but I'm really enjoying it, it sucks you right in from the first page. Is that book too girly for you lot? I don't think it's soppy or anything although it is a love story.

I wish I was having a bath. I, instead, am trying to review the new Converge album. Why did I think four reviews in a week was a good idea? :zombie:

nickachu · **Posted:** Wed Oct 28, 2009 23:28

I am happy

When I am rich I am going to have a bathroom with a huge bath and also a huge shower with jets all up the sides and stuff. I love baths. You should have a bath and listen to the album in the bath, then if you want to write something just write it on the tiles with a marker or special space writing pen or something. Then if the police ever come to your house and see all these reviews of albums scrawled on your walls they'll think your a serial killer. Then I could sell my story of how you're innocent and it was all just innocent music journalism. Then I'd be rich, so it's win win really!

I have bath crayons. Craig bought them for me for Christmas last year. I draw all over the tiles and the bath when I am relaxing in the tub. I draw trees, flowers and ducks, mostly.

Is there some sort of agency where we can hire a minimimi to say things like this when things are getting all depressing?

That sounds really good actually. The funny thing is, I think a lot about my reviews on my walk home from work. And I think 'nice one, sorted', without actually writing the bastards down. Then, because I've done all the thinking already, I can't be arsed with the actual review.

Also, a friend of mine has two shower jets in his shower.

Fucking xboxes.

Games installed to hard drive. I want to hit green and have them run off the hard drive. Why would I, if they are on the HD, run them from disc? Why would anyone? But nooooo, we have to fucking hit yelloow, wait for the option to come up, then select it and hit green.

Then. THEN.... in your Game library (which takes a week to show up half your options sometimes) when you are looking at, say, Arcade Games, Yellow is play and Green is select.

WHAT THE FUCK, MICROSOFT?

What the fucking fuck is that all about?

I think this must be your Xbox, mine plays from the hard drive by default on the A button if it's already installed.

Not looking forward. That's a week of being completely blanked by two people who don't understand English and don't like to acknowledge the existence of anyone who doesn't speak German. Grrreeeaaattt...

Lovely, ta. I don't know why I'm doing it, as I don't have any msuic on this computer at the moment, as i can't find the lead to get my 2 Gig from my .mp3 player...

Nickachu reported a Gamertag last night while we were playing CoD. With the reasoning that, "If RichardGaywood can't have his name, neither can stephengayfer. Microsoft made the rules, they can't have one rule for one and another for someone else!" Harsh, but funny!

So, I was on the bus yesterday morning, top deck, right at the front.

The bus has just been into a small town, and is heading back on to a 2 lane dual carriage way, it's on the slip road, and immediatly in front of it is a small car, and immediatly in front of the car is a large lorry. I would estimate 4 car lengths between the front of the bus and the rear of the lorry.

All three vehicles are doing about 40-50mph and filter on to the dual carriage way fine, but the driver of the car obviously didn't want to be behind this slow moving lorry, but because the bus is right behind him, he really can't see what's going on in the 2nd lane. He decides to pull out any way, causing a car to veer wildly to the right, almost into the central reservation, he then continues to drive with his right wheels in the right lane, and his left wheels in the left lane whilst 2 more cars overtake him. He pulls out again (bear in mind he's going about 25mph slower than cars in the 2nd lane) and makes it stick, the car behind him slams on the brakes, and just stops from crashing into the back of him, hen then overtakes the lorry, and then indicates left and leaves the dual carriage way at the next exit.
