Oh shit AJR, and there was me thinking I was good at this! Consider my mind blown.

@Thomas Stearns Lee - if by "thinking man" you mean James Cameron, then no, it's not crazy.

I tried to get into that once; the industry was very resistant to a the idea of a customer they don't know turning up and trying to spend money. I still don't get that.

Flaubert, I think the word you're looking for is "Italian".

Tuck, I think what AJR's saying is that you get the idea when you're NOT having a conversation about gifts - just when she says at some point during the year, like you do, "Oh ain't that annoying, I don't have an [item], or at least not a decent one, I should get round to buying one." At this point you say "uh-huh"…

I'll be interested to see what people make of Series 7. I thought it looked mean, obvious and unnecessary, but everyone told me it was clever and hilarious. I finally saw it a few months ago and it was just as I expected. I still don't get it.

Funny to think - when BEP first came out they looked as though they were going to shape up into a halfway decent crew. Were we ever so young and uncautiously optimistic?

It's mainly to do with those truckasaurus hands.

Congrats JVS - AVC Achievement Unlocked!

I have time for the guy, but the tiresome striving for relevance is bloody irritating - especially Jpod, which constantly harks back to DC's status as some kind of ultimate touchstone of 21st century pop culture (as opposed to what he is, which is a cult author, and one of many). It was pretty obvious Jpod was going…

Not sure what to tell you, captainyam, because I also bloody hated Jpod - like huuaecre above, I thought it was just a half-assed rehashing of Microserfs, and it's becoming obvious that he's writing novels with a view to getting them picked up as films.

PRESS X TO NOT CARE

Four albums. Tarzanell, am I missing a joke here?

Some of us favour cuteness over hotness, you know.

I think The Grid might have beaten you to that one, Rocky.

I never got the obsession with Jessica Rabbit. She has a spherical head and a receding hairline! But I hold Daphne from Scooby-Doo responsible for my lifelong obsession with redheads. See also: Ariel the Little Mermaid, Anastasia, Lois Griffin and Frankie Foster.

She's a black… ops agent.

Uhh, I guess I… prefer… not to?
