Israel doesn't need Gizmodo make itself seem arrogant and oppressive. It manages that entirely by itself.

That would be the 'buffer zone' that Israel's been building settlements in ever since, would it? That's not a buffer zone, that's occupation by osmosis. What a fucktard.

Oh please. Since when has using white phosphorus on civilian populated areas been "right"? The entire Israeli occupation is nothing more than a form of apartheid. I'm not saying there aren't elements within Palestine that don't exacerbate the conflict, and certainly there are people within Israel who'd like nothing…

Well, with the Cybus Industries Cybermen - particularly in their debut story and the series 2 finale - are designed to deliberately evoke the idea that these are people who've had their individuality completely stripped away and made uniform. That's why it's an automated production line, rather than conversion…

Fleming also wrote that homosexuals can't whistle. I don't think fact-checking was necessarily his strongpoint .

Agreed. Which must mean that the airstrip is extremely middy a lot of the time. You'd think they'd do something about that.

There's an early 50s CBS television adaption of Casino Royale (in which Bond is American). Because it was made by Columbia's TV arm, they held the movie rights to the novel. When EON's Bond films became hugely popular, Columbia approached EON with a view to a co-production. EON had just made Thunderball as a…

I dunno about before bed, but I have discovered that gaming whilst flying a plane or driving a car is bad. Especially if it's motion controls. Then the whole thing goes to shit.

There's two civilian versions of one of these for merchant shipping at the nautical college in Shetland. Amazing thing, they can simulate fishing boats, tankers, ferries, tugs, etc. You can have two crews working in conjunction (multiplayer!), all kinds of weather, different harbours, etc. It's quite odd seeing the…

Damn. Course it was. And I've seen the damn thing myself. I shall now hang my head in shame.

Bletchley Park had nothing to do with the Bomb. I have no idea why the presenter would mention that. It was all about cracking Nazi cyphers so the Allies could intercept their coded messages. Actually, it you're ever in the UK, it's a fascinating place to visit - particularly when you see an Enigma machine core sliced…

Throw in an Indiana Jones minifig and he maybe - just maybe -the WW1 Tank could become a proper set.

NES Metal Gear, using Michael Biehn as Kyle Reese from The Terminator.

You do know this is a show with dragons in it, don't you?

More on the story from my local paper. the previous record for the world's oldest message in a bottle was held my another fisherman who is a crewman on the same boat. His bottle was at sea for 92 years.

That's weird. I've been out all week enjoying the lovely weather here. Because I don't live in a 'dismal shithole'. Not hostile toward criticism? Bitch, please. Every time I see your name in a comment, it's some overzealous, asinine defence of some perceived slight against the US. And yep, our economy isn't in great…

Took a while for you to reply. Guess that's because you've been to busy swallowing your own bullshit. Envious? No. Clearly you fail to understand what envy is. Despairing might be a better word. You're so hostile to the idea that the US can be criticised in anyway, it's actually pathetic. Are you going to start…

Yes, every country has it's braggarts. You're seem to be one of them.

Pakistan & India's tensions goes back a long way and isn't actually rooted in a 'we're better than you' argument. And yes, they have enormous amounts of squalor and poverty. I'm pretty sure the people living amongst it are well aware of that.

My pretty little head? Patronising much?
