*sigh* to go from from the proud empire that held sway over more than a quarter of the globe, to the nation of lackwits who think that national pride is epitomised by a brace of tacky flags attached to their cars in under 100 years; such a depressing thought :/

The empire on which the sun never sets? A nice thought but, on the face...

I think it is widely regarded to refer to the sun never setting on the British empire in the past tense.

But hey, at least you've got a good set of former colonies you're still on good relations with. As a Canadian, I have much love for my former imperial overlords. God save the Queen!

The cost of stuff in the UK makes me chuckle; it's nothing new to moan about the prices of, well, everything over here - cars, houses, petrol, electronics, blah-de-blah-de-blah it's all *way* overpriced compared to certain other countries I could mention (America for example)...and that's fine, I don't really get irate about it (which makes a change o_O) as it's just the society we're stuck...

I can't think of anything even remotely interesting to post; so i've nicked this from Roopie instead ^_^

1.) Where were you when the ball dropped for 2006?
I have absolutely no idea o_O and you can take that one of two ways; either I got so pissed the entire evening is a messy blur...or I was dull and did nothing at all. Hhhmmmm?

2.)...

Havok makes my head hurt, it's all fun and games to start with but fuck me does it get complicated quickly :/ Much as I thought Half Life 2 was shit I feel a pang of sympathy and a glimmer of respect for the poor souls responsible for all the physics simulation in that game, the mere prospect of having to simulate that much stuff...

Giggedy giggedy! Metal Gear Solid 4 trailer from E3 is super-duper nice...I really want a PS3 now and, quite frankly, couldn't care less how much it costs! But that's just me, i'm a firm believer in "you get what you pay for", take the DS vs PSP prices for example; people freaked at how much the PSP cost compared to the DS but, again merely...

Bloody Kate Moss has now changed the way I speak. I now seem to be incapable of saying the word "really" any way *other* than the way she says it in that sodding phone advert!

It's even more annoying now that i've noticed i'm doing it. Harumph!

I finally got around to watching Sympathy for Lady Vengeance last night...fuck it's brutal! Drags a bit at the start but the end is...erm...uncompromising to say the least, you know you're watching a good film when it can make you recoil in horror from what's going on! o_O.

Comparisons to Old Boy are inevitable I suppose but, in my opinion, a trifle unfair since the...

I actually failed to watch the film last night, embarrassingly. I got distracted.

Still, now I have it for tonight. biggrin

I hate spam emails, I loathe them and the time they waste by me having to sit and sift through to make sure they're not something worthwhile, even more though I detest the sneaky ones that dance their way past all my spam filters, yes I hate them, loathe them, detest them...but not all of them.

Y'see when i'm having to sift through them there...

One of my email addresses get about three spam emails a day, so I just delete anything from a sender I don't recognise. In any case, they too have giveaway names such as 'Sang Mabel Tolbert' and equally surreal subject lines. I'd like to hurt the people who create these bots. skull
