Yes, it does need a new thread. Can someone else other than me please say "Meakin should be allowed to make threads again now" please? FFS

I quite often chuck a tenner or so at Humble Bundles to get my hands on one or two games from my wishlist, leaving over a load of bits that I either don't want or already owned on Steam. Currently have codes going spare on all of these, let me know if you want any: Caveblazers Dungeon Souls Hospital...

Lloyds customers - I don't know how dynamic this is related to your own spending, but check your Everyday Offers. I've got 5% off Travelodge and it lasts until 14 Dec 2017. So I'm now hoping for a triple layer of savings - Travelodge sale, Topcashback cashback, and then Lloyds cashback on top. Finge...

As a web person, i've always found it slightly strange that old BBC articles maintain the stylings of the BBC website at the time rather than fit into the of-the-time BBC website design. Very strange, an odd lack of separation between content and style that is supposed to be the backbone of web desi...

You have to go to sleep at the time chosen by whichever of you wants to go to bed later, and get up at the earlier time. Whilst you're obviously mental (and whilst that whilst I respect your reasoning) this particular part is surely totally wrong. And we have a kid! Hmm.. or maybe it's wrong becaus...

Quite an intriguing one. Obviously you're going for hyperbole, but realistically when would a song's joy die for you? There are many, many tracks that I can't ever imagine suddenly not enjoying.

Matt Morrison

Isn't the whole point in these things is that they aren't groundbreaking, and people are shocked by their having felt like they were groundbreaking discoveries only for a moment's thought to lead them to believe that no, they're actually "REALLY obvious"? The only difference with the finge...

The noise made when clicking your fingers is the sound of the finger hitting your palm not the finger and thumb rubbing together. Yes, I love this one! What am I missing here? Why on earth would anyone think a finger and thumb rubbing would produce a sudden sharp click sound? I think it's more of a...

He was short of time so could only link me to this image list, but says there are some others that are...

Just pleased to see a Deeks post in this thread that didn't involve telling me off re: Hipchips.

Matt Morrison

Hmm. I don't see tons of donut shops popping up here in London. But then this is London. Everything that pops up these days is hipster as fuck, and desserts do well in this category. This year there have been notable rushes on bubble wrap waffles , candy floss-wrapped ice creams , and mermaid mering...

Matt Morrison

I'm sure there were a million posts about it before, especially in the run up to the announcement of the 30th thing. I think generally it was a case of the rise of apterous meaning that COCs are now dominated by players that are so good they alienate the show's core audience? I could be wrong but th...

Matt Morrison

Oddly, my work laptop is working on Firefox. Charlie also told me he has no problems on Firefox, so whilst it's widespread it's not complete. Will work with him to help solve it when I get home.

Matt Morrison

Ah, I done this: https://www.apterous.org/ticket_view.ph ... 270#p58545

But yeah, I tried clearing cookies and cache too already.

Matt Morrison

Haha thanks for typing all that out Z, sounds mental. How did it all go? Is there photos/information on the winning efforts on some of the relevant games, e.g. the high-glass one or the card-jump one? Great effort organising all that, I now understand what that weird massive drinks holder thing on t...

I think if Christmas was still a respected religious festival, like Hannukah or Diwali or something still is, then you'd be absolutely right Heather. However, Christmas has become something pretty gross and superficial these days. However one's experience is balanced (individually or as part of a fa...

Matt Morrison

Haha. Can we know what the other games were? I was around for the start of the Height one.

Don't forget to mention it on Twitter too Gevin.

Did I misunderstand or did you just take a big steaming dump on Zarte and JR? (and maybe others?)

wasn't it darts180 or something like that?

Catastrophe is excellent.
Cuckoo turned out to be surprisingly good, classic British sitcom sort of thing.

Wolverton returns are £20, but I can get a single to and from MK for £12. Assume that is actually better for the way home as people will be in MK, but what about the morning bit, how would I get from MK to Wolverton, and what would it cost? Are there barriers at Wolverton or would I be fine just usi...

Stop being so Gevin. Obviously you can't use the same person (or even same identical name) twice, but whether or not you can use an individual name part (John) more than once is up for discussion.

Matt Morrison

Having never tried, this feels like something you could do indefinitely. But I bet it's much harder than that.
Is there not a rule about not using a particular name (John) twice?

Matt Morrison

Do you search everyone every Saturday or do people secretly report in to you?
