(Aside: why can I smell meat pies being cooked (I never buy meat pies) and I just went out to the corridor and noone is cooking them in their flats either? I keep smelling odd things around this time of night, it seems to be phantosmia. Weird. Or what?)

...

You can choose anything from a cold to a mini stroke for that one, takes very little for the sense of smell to go all weird.

The Miami Showband massacre was a hard blow to N.I. it was talked about a lot when i was growing up.

Out shopping with the missus and she saw a stand with a crystal she liked so as she was buying it the guy starts talking about the "vibrational energies" that would help us in our home and my missus said "oh I don't believe in any of that nonsense, I just think it will look pretty on the mantelpiece." For a second the guy had the saddest look on his face, he was crushed.

With that outlook he was probably a covid denier, enjoy the pretty crystal as it is. :thumbsup:

The Young Ones got a Blu-ray release remastered with a 1080p picture recently and while it's still a little grainy in places it's night and day from the old fuzzy dvds or even vhs you might have watched before.

Never bothered with blu-ray, more than happy with my dvd collection as far as viewing quality goes and i'm not buying them all over again for a new format.

Christ, how small is your TV?

Blu-ray is like night and day vs DVD, especially on most modern 4K TVs

Edit: I've got a fairly big DVD collection too, but I've been pretty content buying new stuff on blu ray and gradually replacing absolute classic stuff too (usually when I get an urge to watch it)

Late reply. :ughh:

24 inch widescreen monitor or thereabouts has been my default watching size for decades with several hundred dvd movies and a few box sets to pass the time.

More or less stopped buying them now. :corsair:

I just remember some goon saying that in Eve you could just float through a sector and say in public chat "I, too, am gay" and be guaranteed a bunch of furious cunts ranting about how they're not gay and that's disgusting and raging at you until you floated out of range.

Sounds about right tbh, some days i miss that game.

It used to be more common, finding random weapon stashes, most are left to rust due to the GFA.

Told this story before, my home town in the early 2000s, the primary school was celebrating the birthday of the principal, there was a party planned for the kids.
During break time, one of the kids went into the woods nearby, and came back with a gun.
Whole place was locked down, army and police called, and they found some bullets after searching the area.
The principal instead of thanking the kid got angry for ruining the birthday party, parents threatened suing the school.

Why in gods name was a school principal even celebrating their birthday at the school, sounds like a self centered gobshite.

That's a terrible implementation of XFCE, but then again Arch users deserve what they get... elitist pricks.

Syzdlo knew how to make teenaged boys interested in his subject. Also well worth checking out his lectures on YouTube- he’s a great public speaker. Used to be his assistant for those throughout my late teens (though before the age of easy video).
