BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOBS! xx

Thought about this one a lot recently. I'd go with super-intelligence. Like a la Tony Stark/Reed Richards level of smart, that makes Stephen Hawking look like a toddler eating crayons. From there, I could build an Iron Man type suit, build awesome gadgets like Batman, and if I were so inclined I could do a fuckload of mad scientist experiments to try to develop MOAR POWERS! xx

Would you rather be a virtuoso on one instrument, or be reasonable on fuckloads/all instruments? Note - if you choose being adequate on all the instruments, you can't claim you'd practise lots and become a virtuoso in one of them, too. Being mildly good as the best you'll ever be. And to answer the question, I'd rather know the languages. If I wanted to learn more instruments, I'd enjoy the challenge of learning. Languages, I fucking hate learning. I just want to know them. xx

I like the artwork. xx

I really, really wanted to enjoy it, but it just didn't hold my attention at all. I think the sequence where they enter the mountain was excellent, but otherwise it just felt like really long sequence inconsequential events, strung together. When you read any one of the LotR books, you can understand why they need a movie each, The Hobbit really, really doesn't need 3 in my opinion. xx

People telling stories throwing in "pause for laughter" moments. Especially when they use these pauses to try to instigate laughter by starting to laugh themselves. This gets promoted from Pet Hate to Punchable Cuntery if they are quoting a comedian verbatim and keep the laugh-pauses in there anyway. xx

The Hobbit They're taking a short kid's book and turning it into ~9 hours worth of movie, and it's very fucking obvious. I'll watch the second two, but I won't enjoy them either. It's all very well made, the acting is solid, all that jazz. There just isn't enough plot. 2/5. Iron Man 3 Lots of Tony Stark, fairly little Iron Man, but that's OK. The film had a solid story, the usual cracking performances by the usual cast. Ben Kingsley was awesome in the role he was handed but I sorely disapproved of the twist on the Mandarin that they've thrown in. Fun fact - the reason they opted to go with a white guy as the villain is (rumoured to be) because their Chinese distributors wouldn't show the movie if the bad guy was Chinese. I assume this would also lead to problems when it came to merchandising because who else but the Chinese could be asked to make a billion Iron Man 3 toys for 5p each? Good old Disney. Better than 2, not a patch on 1. 3/5. xx

Fixed. xx

It's less shit than it sounds. Honest. xx

WIMMIN! xx

How the fuck can you get lost when I'm willing to bet every one of you had a map feature on your fucking phone? xx

I started fucking around with ragtime and jazz/swing rythms writing a punxasfucx riff last night. Phil's gonna love this shit. xx

Buy it Phil. Phil, buy it. Buy it. Phil. Phil, buy it. xx

Some of the nicest ales I've had are just unbearable in large doses. 4 or 5 pints in and it's like drinking a pint of soup. Or honey. Honey-soup. Hoop. That said, after a few pints I'm usually on to the nips anyway. Actually, that's a lie. These days 2 pints and a dram and I'm fucking sleeping on the table. Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's a cool story, bro. xx

I prefer a splash of cool water, YOU FUCKING CUNT! BOURBON ISN'T REAL WHISKEY, IT DOESN'T EVEN HAVE AN E IN IT, YOU CUNT. OMFG, YOU HAVE YOUR STEAK ANYTHING OTHER THAN MEDIUM RARE?!?! WHY NOT JUST BUY A BURGER AND BURN IT INTO CHARCOAL, CUNT!! Some of the most irritating cuntery is shit of this nature. xx

More or less the point made above - it you like it, it's right. Still interesting to know some of the sciencey shit too, but I can't be fucked with drink-snobbery. xx

http://www.whiskyforeveryone.com/whisky_basics/adding_water_or_ice.html Good article onthe subject. By good I mean informative, but not at all high-horsey. xx

When my previous band split I started feeling the same way - I kicked the slump by getting an acoustic guitar and writing material for "singer/songwriter" sets. Never performed any of it live save for a couple of open mics, but it does give you something to work at. If anything, it made me work harder because when writing the material I knew I'd have nobody else there to pick up slack or add to the music. I actually wrote some of my best material to date in that situation, a lot of which has transferred to my new band. xx

Using "haha" and "lol" in the same sentence should result in a 6 month ban from the internet. xx

Pet Hate thread is NO PLACE FOR SIMPLE LOGIC. Nobody comes here for ACTUAL, USEFUL SOLUTIONS to their problems. Pet Hate - people offering actual, useful solutions to my first-world problems. xx

OMG FOUND A TGI FRIDAY'S ON HOLIBOBS IN SHAGALUF! LOL!!! Kill them all. xx

Just wanted to make sure it's just the quote you're laughing at? Or is there some homeless guy taking a shit in the background that I can't see? xx
