Lily Allen 'in talks' to become Doctor Who's assistant

RTD

As long as RTD is in charge, thing's will get worse.

Mac OS X Leopard - Time Machine

alright

Firstly: I love you all, thank you for replying. It's been a joyous read and my weekend starts with a light heart. Secondly TM is something my grandmother would use before I could explain the word "backup" to her. There. Okay, so this fine gentleman had problems with his complete installation. Well, poor him. Teaches him to install a dot-zero release. Pah!

Peace!

Steve, iLoveU!!1!

Netcraft confirms: http://searchdns.netcraft.com/?restriction=site+contains&host=bbc.co.uk&lookup=wait..&position=limited

Their servers mostly run *nix... But what it has to do with the price of fish, I dunno.

American football power nabs phone numbers for 13,000 StubHubers

It's not for injustice...

It's only because management/stakeholders found out about the high prices, and are jealous, and want a piece of thát cake as well. It's not about sports anymore. I say: screw them and don't go to the game.

The first rule of Reg Club is...

Most importan rule

Don' mention the BofH. He might mention you...

So, what's the first rule of Reg Club?

Shouldn't the First Rule be...

Rule number Zero (of 'nought' or 'nill' or whatever equals '0')?

BOFH: You think you know a guy...

Loved it

Always tell a joke in front of people capable of laughing :)

First computer: Aster CT80, in school. Yeah...

Great British fry-up under threat

Huh?

Farmers deal directly with the supermarkets? I always thought the cooperation dealt with sales to retail et cetera, and farmers offered their goods to the coop. The coop closes the deals, they're the ones to blame?

Jason Bourne disses James Bond

Sour grapes

James Bond is an icon, Jason whatshisname isn't. Will never be, as well.

NASA delays decision over Shuttle repair

memo to nasa-boffins

Spend more time and money on developing robots that are able to to these things.

Tories aim to ditch data protection laws

Really?

"Redundancy regulations should be relaxed, say the authors, to allow employers to make cuts more easily." And who is going to do all the work then? Poles, or Spaniards?! *chuckles*

Doctor Who signs up thinking man's crumpet

Objection!

>> Well it's a children's programme, at the end of the day.

No, that is not true. It is a family show.

@Dillon Pyron

Sorry, just sorry.. what can I say? Feel glad you're expectations won't be too high? Or just high? Just don't expect anything worth watching. I haven't met _anyone_ confessing to having enjoyed it.

Davies kills Dr Who in favour of Torchwood

Catherine Tate has been the worst choice ever: nothing can compensate for that (sorry Kylie, no offense). O yeah, that last episode, with the Doctor shrinking and the whole planet chanting: that sucked so immensely, it fell nearly into itself. It was embarrassing to watch.

BOFH: PFY rescue mission

hurray

Truly inspirational, like the old days! I really miss the bulk eraser...

Endemol in 'win a kidney' TV show rumpus

The Golden Cage, BB, The Spermdonor Show, Marry a Millionair

The idiots will watch, it's entertainment aimed at them. For the rest of the population there's nothing to see, just waste of public money and bandwidth. Be honest: if your neighbours smear dog poo under their eyes every night, would it change your life? Would it bother you? You would probably start avoiding those neighbours, but everything would be all right. Wouldn't it?
