Has he just eaten someone or are those glasses his?
Favourite Englishman:
I don't give a fuck how is career is now, I doubt he does either (not known for really wanting fame, quit Chancer at it's height...) but anyone that can call Julia Roberts a "fucked up Slag" with such conviction deserves a knighthood.
Edit: also, he made Children of Men one of the greatest Sci-Fi movies of all time, and he was amazing in indie flick Trust recently.

Speaking of James Hunt, what do you think of Chris Hemsworth's english accent?

The real James Hunt for comparison:

It feels a bit off to me.

Who the fuck is that?
No shit, Ron Howard made an F1 biopic? I had no idea. Looks decent as well, good cast, great soundtrack and Natalie Dormer getting smanged.

On the flip side Japan thinks our girls look like this:
Japan's view of its own girls is warped to begin with. English girls are very cute though.

They look like translucent mole people.
Clearly, their loin-spawn would look like:

If it is what I think it is.... hang on

Holy shit it is! I remember playing this in infant school when I was 5 or 6, didn't remember what it was called till now. Ah memories!
So how did you get hold of that for free?

Was in a finance meeting at the uni today. So many acronyms. So many codes. Percentages. Cuts. Systems. Head boggling.
Drove to my old school and asked them. Lo and behold, they still had one in storage.
I can't believe it hadn't been thrown away. This is probably the same one I was using twenty years ago!
I also used to play Granny's Garden on Windows 95, but it was nowhere near as terrifying as this one.
We also used to have a cool programmable robot (the teachers called it a turtle). We had to type in commands into the micro, and it would then drive around on the floor. Like, we were essentially learning programming at age 5. Amazing.
The language was Logo.
They now use a program called Scratch (http://scratch.mit.edu/) to try and teach kids basic coding. So they've skipped a few generations and only just decided to bring it back into life.
Yeah, I know my old secondary school have Raspberry Pi's and coding in their IT lessons now apparently.
Our IT in secondary school was essentially typing documents in word and making simple spreadsheets, from year 7 right up to the end of GCSE. What an absolute fucking terrible waste of time.
Coding or HTML would have been far better. But no, apparently we were all training as Secretaries.
We started on micros at High School, then they moved us to what I think were macs, would have been about 91 and they didn't upgrade them when I was there. We just used to draw stuff on paint...
IT was so "important" at my secondary school that in the first year we only did it for half the year, the other half was DT. The biggest problem I found with IT is that it punished you for learning more. If you answered a question with an answer not in the answer booklet you lost marks even if it was right. :/
RPG Maker 2k is what taught me the basics, but I was still pretty clueless when I got into university.

We never had macs until secondary, but in junior school we had Acorn computers! They had a kickass paint app.

I spent my IT lessons playing Triad Bloodbath (I think that's what it was called), a rudimentary but incredibly gory (and therefore incredibly cool) point and clock lightgun shooter.
Aah, good times.
I also remember when they tried to take Snake off the computers so everyone would stop playing it, but they only removed the shortcut.
:/
I actually remember feeling insulted.

This is what people played during out IT classes:

Oh and when "games" became a filtered word on the web (and ruined a project I was working on since I couldn't even research games) people changed the IE shortcut to point towards Hearts and played it over the network.

That's Logo, which richisawesome is alluding to. The onboard programming software was 6502 BBC Basic.

That's the one!Rise of the Triad?
I loved that shit.

Knows the score
Although I seem to remember it being a static lightgun style game? Maybe there were two?
Back in sixth form, me and my mates installed Return to Castle Wolfenstein onto the school's media server, so we could access it from any computer in the school and even play via LAN.
That was awesome. We also used to play Smash Bros Melee projected onto the cinema screen in the arts theatre. Such good times.
And yeah, LOGO is definitely what I remember.

The school I went to now has laptops and iPads for each student. I had to make do with shitty XP and IE6 and had to rely on proxies that lasted a few hours before they got blocked.
That's the one!

Not sure, all I remember of it was that it was the first game where you could rocket jump and I'd be happy to do that for ages.

ha yeah we had Acorns too, even at secondary. I remember at secondary I was one of only about 4 nerdy kids in my year and we would constantly harrass the head of technology about the computers, we hated them.
In primary school we had a 'good' acorn computer and it had a 3d polygonal flight sim on it that blew my mind. This must have been in 1990 or so, and it was super advanced, I think I was the only kid who could figure out how to take off. This was also the first computer I ever saw with a screen saver that was one of those screen melty ones. My friend told me the computer had a virus and I believed him.
We used to have GBA emulators for Pokemon games. They get quite a bit better at 400% speed
Holy fucking shit. We had that flight sim on the acorn too. And yeah, only one of us could take off.
edit: it was called Chocks Away! Oh my god, the memories!!!
