Where's Crazy Bus already so I can show you what REAL video game music sounds like?

I have the first one but I don't date and I spend far too much time on my own to enjoy it or for it to be healthy.
I might follow the example of one of the thread's dearly departed and hit up Tinder. Is there a Tinder spinoff that you can only join if you can pronounce all your words correctly?

Try match.com if you're looking for a relationship. It's worked for a lot of my friends although I think it's a bit tougher if you're a bloke.
Try joining a club of whatever you're into.
I can see you getting into theatre or creative writing.

Thanks for your replies and suggestions.
I always got the impression Match was for slightly more mature users in their late twenties or early thirties and above. As such when I dipped my toes in online dating I decided to use OK Cupid and found the denizens wishy washy and lost interest.
I don't do clubs, a society would be much easier and along those lines if I was a student but those days are behind me, I'd keep an eye out though.
This is my quest, to get some poontang I can relate to.

Yeah I called the police and reported it stolen, called the network and they blocked the sim and blacklisted the phone. Nothing else I can do.
Well she's on my friend's list and considering you know most of my friends she shouldn't be too hard to find...
I know a quarter of the people on your friend list, dude. Not as easy as you may think

Really? Would've thought you'd know more than that...
*shrug* You've got comic book people/work people/band people etc. that you know and I don't. We don't hang out as much as we used to these days either too, so it's not really surprising.
Sucks. Good luck and hope you get it sorted as painlessly as possible.

This week has been the most brutal work week I've had in a long time. Was working from 8am ish to midnight last night (admittedly with a lunch hour and evening break) and straight back into it again. Couldn't even get to sleep until 2am because my brain was still in the land of exchange rates and spreadsheets and deciphering the unrestricted market value of securities for UK tax purposes :S
I really want to treat myself to something for surviving and I'd normally buy a game but I have so many already I've not even properly started there's no point. I am looking forward to playing some more Calladuty and Dragon Age later though. My K/D is nearly 1 now on Calladuty! It's very compulsive and fast. And Dragon Age is the first RPG that I kind of/mostly get (after hating it the first time around). So that's nice.
How's everyone?
I got stuck in hours of traffic on the M1 because of that stupid fucking lorry full of batteries going fireball mode.
I was about 8 cars back southbound when they closed the motorway - at least I got free water.
8 hours in a van with no AC in 37 degree heat made me want to cry, though.

We need to rectify that
Cheers sploat, but I've already resigned myself to the fact that it's most likely I will have to fork out full whack for a new phone.
Does anyone know of any way around this at all? I'm only 9 months into a 24 month contract paying off the original phone
Yes, yes it is.

Me and my blasted memory. As it turns out, I had completely forgotten that I had already purchased the Big Hero 6 3D BD last week, and I only just bought it again at a different store. Glad I kept the receipt for the one for last week, because I'm not treking an hour's bus ride just to return the new one.
We do. You know I miss ya, dude.
Hmm I'm playing through Resistance 1 right now. I was wondering what your opinions are on it, since from my perspective on this 9 year old game is a bland, uninspired FPS with interesting weapons and a story that does disservice to its setting. Perhaps it really was a 'you had to be there' shooter, but even then, I can think of multiple PC FPS's at the time that put this to shame.

Might want to return the first one too, had to shut it off after 20 minutes, what an overly-mawkish piece of shit.
I'm in my windowless, air conditioned box of an office. And I'm loving it.
Cheers for the tunes, though! Have a peachy weekend yourself!

Had an awesome day down at the seaside yesterday, caught the sun, barbecued steak and shrimp, and spent the evening doing a jigsaw puzzle. Actually starting to enjoy not being tied to a phone.

Hey so here's something British that is going to cause a strong, opinionated reaction.
Chris Moyles doing XFM breakfast from September.

I only really listen to Radio 4 and Classic FM, used to listen to XFM a wee bit many years but I don't know what's its like these days.

For the most part I find Moyles irritating, but I'd probably listen to this if he started doing Viaduct again.

....and Vernon Kay is going to have the slot right after him.
XFM used to be a great station before Capital Radio bought them up.
JonathanEx
Member
I get the Moyles rumour, but who, WHO, ever said "Yeah I'd love to hear Vernon Kay on the radio"? The best episode of his Radio 1 show was the weekend after he was revealed for doing the saucy texts and he had to be all apologetic about it. Otherwise? Guff.
I like a bit of XFM recently, though a station that plays Coldplay's new stuff as often as they can't pretend to be indie/alternative.

I think they're going for the 'blokey' Absolute radio demographic. It will be interesting to see what happens to their playlist once it changes.
JonathanEx
Member
It makes sense - it's not a demographic that Global really cater for now. And there's been some slight relaxing of music formats that will help them do that. I think you're right - they'll twist it a bit more that way. But without random interjections from Matt Berry.
But blokey, still. No-one wants to hear Vernon Kay. There's blokey and there's horrendous.

Vernon Kay could never have been as bad as that time 6music replaced Gideon Coe with George Fucking Lamb.

Anyone from Canning Town??
In September i will travel to London, my cousin lives in Canning Town and for first months (maybe) i will live there. I like to know how is it there.

I work nearby (just 1 stop away on the DLR). It's an ok place, can be a bit rough but Idris Elba's from there and he turned out alright.

If you aren't listening to 6 Music or a dash of Radio 1 when it's not doing its midday Now That's What I Call Music 2015 guff then you're doing radio wrong. BBC radio is basically what I pay my licence fee for at this point. Radio 1's Glastonbury coverage was excellent.
Commercial radio with its obnoxious and intrusive, "ram the tag line down your throat with repetitive sound bites because we have no visual aid" adverts is the work of the devil.

Speaking of 6music, there's a good in depth article on it by esquire magazine:

Apparently George Lamb was hired to attract female listeners.

What does BritGAF think of The Telegraph's comment that the BBC website is too "imperial"?
The Telegraph have said the BBC website moved away from its core function and now competes with national newspapers too much.

Yeah, 9pm. He used to have the 10am slot.
I can see why Coe wouldn't appeal to women at all, but I can't see why Lamb would either. I think they've done much better with Laverne in that slot now!
It's difficult to read that as anything other than "we don't like the BBC website because it cuts into our ad revenue."
That said, the website isn't really what it was. It's all getting a bit Buzzfeed clickbait in places and is a bit gross. The new homepage is horrific as well, not looking forward to when that becomes compulsory.

Frank is a great little movie. They'd be my new favourite band if they were real.
I don't know enough about it but I'm sceptical about a newspaper like the Torygraph using the word 'imperial'. The BBC is a more valuable entity than the Torygraph, imo.

that is such a fucking tory comment. i love how they're rolling out all the checkbox moves right now; cutting inheritance tax, trimming benefits, claiming the bbc is some massive burden. fuck sake.

You're a big guy.
This is true. The BBC website is mostly shite. However the comments of yours are exactly attributable to the telegraph too.
