So, uh, how do you ride a horse?

We must catch that man - he really is a shit.

This post was originally just a quote, but it's just too difficult to pick just one - there's about eighty-million stupidly quotable phrases that The Day Today gave the world. That show, like pretty much all of both Iannucci's and Morris' work, is just so handy with turns of phrase - and I love it.

The A.V. Club
"Some charity BS for knocked-up teenage sluts."

I'm literally just about to go to the pub for a couple of pints of Strongbow "cider" (or whatever horrible mixture of chemicals it actually is). I always go back to it - it's probably due to teenage nostalgia, bless.

The A.V. Club
It seems to go on forever. But then you get to the end and the gorilla starts throwing barrels at you.

Futurama is just my favourite bloody show. I just wanted to say that I'm so happy that the A.V. Club is going to be doing reviews of the classic episodes - the first four seasons of Futurama are just the best.

Christ, did I love this episode - it was pretty much perfect Halloween viewing. Moffat's always had a penchant for getting under the skin when he decides to go for all-out horror, and I think that the central conceit of the 3W and the Nethersphere - that death doesn't mean you can't still feel - is horrifying in such…

Cheers (also to everyone else) - as always, you guys have been great with my incessant questions!

It's Steam Sale time! Well, a weekend one, but it's Halloween-related, so there's going to be all manners of torments inflicted on my bank account. I'm thinking about picking up Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines. Partly because I still think vampires are cool (despite me living in the same era as Twilight and True…

I restarted my driving lessons today for the first time since I failed my test (three majors and fourteen minors - as in "driving faults", not "victims of my murderous Carmageddon-esque army school rampage"). It's a small victory, largely because usually my response to failure is to sulk and storm off for metaphorical…

Aye, I am - haven't installed any of the patches yet though. I'm playing it with my nostalgia goggles on, but I'm going to probably install it soon enough. I've watched footage of it though, and it looks really impressive.

Hanging at the beach with bikini-clad science groupies. Horrible monstrosities that put the entire world in peril are enough to get you laid in the FFVII universe, it seems.

To be honest, the main reason is due to nostalgia - FFVIII was the first one I ever played, and it got me into the series as a whole. I played it for the first time when I was ten, and being young and impressionable thought that Irvine was the coolest bastard of all time (because he wore a hat and shot things which,…

This weekend, I'm probably going to be playing Final Fantasy VII - I started playing it again for the first time in years last week, and I really quite enjoyed it. It's never been my favourite FF - V, VI, VIII, IX and XII all tower over it in the Official dualidean of man Final Fantasy Charts (which is scientific and…

TWIST ENDING: O.J. DIDN'T do it. His wife was actually killed by a wise-crackin' Ian McShane Murder Santa.

Yeah - it's the one thing I'm really excited about. I'm a really big admirer of the sacrosanct status of the U.S. constitution (even if I don't agree with all of the amendments, ahem) and how it preserves free speech and all that jazz. A Scottish equivalent would be incredible for the country.

I should stress, it's a minority - albeit an incredibly loud and dumb one - that's the cause of the anger. By and large it's been relatively civil, considering the enormity of this debate. The way I see it is that there's always going to be utter morons on both sides of the question though. It's largely rocking…

That laugh…oh god, is there a Santa bird? That I can seduce?

Honestly, I'd rather we used the pound unofficially (sterlingisation) in order to build up a good enough credit rating to springboard into our own currency or (reluctantly) join the Eurozone. However, with rUK likely to be our biggest import/export market, a currency union would make sense.
