Yeah 3 episodes every few years isn't exactly the best.
That's the thing with British TV too, we never seem to run things into the ground, which is obviously a good thing, but i still want more most of the time
14 Episodes of the Office compared to the American's 176.
14 Episodes of Spaced.
13 Episodes of Extras.
6 Episodes of Sherlock so far.

Probably around 800 episodes of Doctor Who. (Serials were split back in the day)
It's all about the bouncers program from ITV. Just has clips of drunks getting pushed.

Always leave 'em wanting more.
Though it does hurt, not having Spaced season 3 or Black Books season 4.
I guess Shaun of the Dead is essentially Spaced season 3.

12 episodes of Fawlty Towers.
12 episodes of Phoenix Nights.
The series that leave you wanting more are always best.
Yeah they wouldn't be regarded so highly if there was 8 or so seasons instead, that's true.
I've been wanting to watch Appropriate Adult actually, is there any where i can do this besides Youtube?
I had one of those for lunch today. They are yum.CTRL+F "Zinger"

I wanna know what the plan is for Eurogamer Expo. I'd love to come down. You guys should plan a meet-up for Saturday and we can all go see Jedeye forget all the words to his songs!

THAT'S where the name came from! We thought it up ages ago, so long ago in fact that I forgot the reference. It was our drummer what came up with it, he likes his obscure references. Now I have something to tell people when they ask what it means!

Even better, there are no words
Aldershot is just 50 mins from Waterloo on the train, that's all I'm saying...
This deffo means I can't make Eurogamer then. Oh well, I shall have to cope by having people tell me how awesome I am for an evening. Sigh...

No words? What?
So are you coming to the meet up instead then?

Without being harsh....This.
Yes, it doesn't have the best reputation. I don't live far away (about 20 miles), but don't go there often,
To make the day even more awkward after penis drawings, I had to go into Bon Marché and say the following:
"Hello, I'm looking for a white, frilly bra... that will fit me."
I was treated like a dirty pervert!
Also, had to purchase a sex doll at Ann Summers.
I'm not entirely sure if what I do counts as a real job anymore.
Now off to build this electric bulb circuit...

All of this really does appear to be building up to something spectacular. The great mystery of where the bulb is going...

You guys are pussies
it's not like I'm advocating putting on your best Ben Sherman and wading into Yates! It's a town, a town where I live. It's perfectly safe, I've only had my nose broken once, and that was ten years ago and cos I was in the park with a skateboard at 2 in the morning, my own fault entirely.I can vouch for the West End Centre as a venue though, great people, lovely staff, cheap drink and at least one awesome band playing on the 29th of September.
We're a punk rock post rock band, who needs words? I yelp every now and then when the feeling takes me though, and one of our songs has at least 6 words in it. We also use some vocal samples because we is arty.
Unsure about the meet soon since I've spent about £300 on Mrs Sniv this month which is pretty much all my spare social dolla spent. I'll check my finances the week-of to see what the rest of the month looks.
Is Halo out this month? If it is then that seals it!

Are you sure you're not just a victim of sexual harrassment?
Oh who am I kidding, men can't be victims of sexual harrassment, it's like trying to drown a fish
and here comes someone to tell me a harrowing tale of girl on boy seediness

Speaking of live music, I just spied Blood Red Shoes are supporting Gaslight Anthem on their UK stint. Yum.
I can't tell if that's amazingly spectacular or depressingly soul-crushing. Either way, it beautifully describes single life
Oh christ you guys.
Building a 'celebrity'-proof electric circuit DIY-style is harder than you'd guess.
But I finally have the darn thing working. The bulb is housed in a wooden clothes peg, while a rotating paperclip acts as a switch.
Dead chuffed with myself.
Now to draw the approved penis design all professional like...

Sounds like Celebrity Bedlam. Except, I guess that's already on? So I dunno.
Only in Aldershot would being in a park with a skateboard at two in the morning justify having your nose broken.
Yes, I'm a pussy!
That weekend will be anniversary celebrations anyway.
Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps is coming back!? Lord have mercy on our souls.
Boo! Fucking gamers, come out and get drunk, we're not on till 9
Hmm - if I'm back by 9ish (I don't think I will be) then myself and the Mrs. will probably come down as I'm so close I could spit at Aldershot.
I may need your advice on Batman comics at some point, by the way.
I want to get into the new 52 Batman stuff, but what with the many different comics (Batman, TDK, Detective Comics, etc) all tying in together, I'm not sure how to tackle it.
Tips?

Unfortunately we don't have anything properly recorded just yet, we're aiming to get something down by years end. For now the top priority is writing and gigging - the band is still quite new, only about 5 months I think.

Oh wow. I just, was he being serious or just trying to wind people up? Hopefully that's a perma.
From what I have seen, he was just trolling to wind up non US Gaf, been getting away with it for years, mainly as most of US Gaf secretly liked / agreed with his posts and said it was all our fault for taking the bait.
Other threads he posted in suggested a much more normal guy, but he (since the Olympics) seemed to take no interest in anything but securing a ban. How fast was that caught as well? only one reply...

The bit about english... Priceless.
Hilarious.
It's a shame we couldn't keep the thread open and have nonUS GAF actually explain something to this guy, but I completely understand why that would turn chaotic within 10 posts.
Y'know, I often wondered if Korey was actually an anti-US troll. That thread makes me think I was right. He kinda blew his load with that one and made his true intentions known. He was an intentional parody of an ignorant American.
blahblah...blah

I wish that thread were kept open. It's actually masterfully constructed in its trollishness.
