    I've never seen one before -- no one has -- but I'm guessing it's
    a white hole.

    Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. A black hole

    Yes, Minister, Yes, Prime Minister are pure genius.
    Fr Ted, IT Crowd.. "So Jen, what does IT stand for?"
    Increasingly poor decisions of Todd Margaret is very good.
    Big Bang Theory, of course.....

    I always enjoyed Rumpole of the Bailey, but that was more witty than funny.

    Red Dwarf...
    "Go to purple alert"
    "But Sir, that will mean changing the bulb!"

    Minder used to be funny too.


    Freakazoid,
    Animaniacs,
    Tiny Toon Adventures.

    Ren & Stimpy
    Rockos Modern Life
    The Pink Panther...


    Funniest of all?

    a tie between...

    Road Runner

    and

    The 1940's/50's Goofy cartoons from Disney, the ones where he is an everyman, presented in a documentary style, keeping fit etc, brilliant.
    As Roger Rabbit says, "No one takes a wallop like Goofy"

    Precisely. That's why we're experiencing these curious time

    Local guy was selling 55 odd Ps1/ps2 games on adverts , tbh It cropped up on my search as I was keeping an eye out for ray tracers.some of its shovelware (but kids shovelware so my daughter might like em ), but some nice ones in there , and but there's an interesting survival horror game there as well(top left).
    Also the nice guy through in a controller and a few extra PC games as well.
    Which was nice

    Yes Minister helped me gets an A in Public Admin and it's also a genuinely clever satirical shows.

    The Key to enjoying TBBT is to ignore Leonard, if you just sort of phase him out the show improves massively and becomes much more enjoyable.

    In exactly the same way ignoring the narrator guy in HIMYM makes it watchable.

    In other news I got a couple of quid from my Mammy for my birthday last week so I decided to flitter a bit of it away today. Super Mario Tennis on the Gamecube and Golden Sun on GBA for €12 and €9 respectively which I felt were pretty reasonable.

    Also picked up some knickknacks in Forbidden Planet, Issue 2 of Lady Mechanica, it has a great art style and a kick ass protagonist, if they managed to get an episode out more frequently then once every 6 months it would be great.

    Finally a series 7 Lego minifig and a Kidrobot keyring and badge. the last bits I had from them was plastic and pretty ****e but these are really solid enamel and I'm very pleased with them.

    Leonard, I think he is supposed to represent the target audience of the show, or at least be the one that the viewer can relate to, he is more practically minded, is shy but ready to approach women and so on, unlike the rest of the cast who have varying degrees of what we in business call "Social Delay".

    Unfortunately Leonard winds up being so milquetoast that he becomes the Harry Kim of the Big Bang Theory universe.
    The one character that simply has bugger all of interest going on, aside from being Sheldons enabler.

    The story behind Warp is way, way more interesting than that! Kenji Eno who ran Warp was an absolute nutjob. I'll link below to an interview with him that contains stories like sending a cut version of the original D to the ratings board so it would pass, practically holding Michael Nyman hostage in a hotel room until he agreed to do the music for Enemy Zero and how he revealed Enemy Zero was coming to Saturn at a Sony only conference.

    Surely your comment is in hipster territory, anything could be perceived as hipster territory when you think about it! ;)


    I remember the bassline in the Last Ninja sounding extra warm when a guy with the record played it.

    Although that bassline is very warm sounding compared to other SID sounds already.
