"What eventually happened to the bloke I saw commuting this morning on a Honda CBR600*.....................in four inches of snow with more descending."

If this was in Surrey near Epsom, then this is a work colleague of mine. He turned round and got the train.

American 'football' goes 3D

@ GrahamT

"Every one else in the world refers to Association football as Football/Fussball/ Futball but for one country."

Sorry, you lose the internets. In NZ and Australia, "football" tends to refer to Rugby Union/League or Australian Rules (dependent on which you're in (and which region)). Soccer is still used to refer to Association Football (although not exclusively, I grant - ex-pats tend to use "Football" for Association Football and "Rugby" or "Aussie Rules" otherwise - whereas those born and bred tend to use "Soccer" and "Football" instead)

Well done El Reg for provoking the most complete sense of humour failure seen so far in comments!

Erm, Adrian have you read the site in, ooh, the last few years... It hasn't been an out and out IT site for some time, and, in my not so humble opinion, is all the better for it!

We don't WANT one... (and Kipling, as usual, gets it right)

Being British is not about flag-waving for the sake of it; indeed true patriots tend to play their cards close to their chest. Read the "Stalky and Co" episode "The Flag of Their Country" for more information.

@"The “degradation” is worse than the medical problem"

"Think about the fat, hairy pig of a man in the last porn flick you saw, and imagine him grunting away on top of your wife, mother, or 15 year old."

Hell, that WAS the last pr0n flick I saw!
