Thanks, and lang may yer lum reek.

It seems Ringo worked out the secret to getting a knighthood (which is: getting old and not dying). Bravo. Now, can we make a start on becoming a republic?

After My Two Dads, surely?

Nope. She was 17 and went to Dollar Academy which is a (private) high school, not a college. It was reported by multiple outlets, such as the Scottish Daily Record (admittedly, a rag of poor repute, but the highest selling tabloid in Scotland).

While Meghan seems like a nice person, this kind of thing is what should be getting the publicity that will be obscured by the positive feeling she and Harry will generate. The royals are parasites and I wish we could get rid of them.

Your post-script was all I came here to say. I’m such a curmudgeon.

Can they do anything correctly? That’s not a rhetorical question; I am quite sure that they can’t.

I hate the new album, but I still loved the band, up until now. So now a big chunk of my favourite music is tainted. In saying that, albums 2 and 3 have Nick all over them and I suppose I wasn’t thinking about his violence against women when I listened to them.

Don#t blame Underballs for misunderstanding. The video should be Rated R.

Shit. This makes me sad, ‘cos I thought he was one of the good guys. Hell, if he likes attacking women he should probably fire himself from QOTSa, or unfire Nick. Fair’s fair.

I have the GBA version of this but I never got very far with it. Must dig it out again and spend some quality time on it.

Excellent. I never played Earthbound first time around but I did manage to get a SNES Mini and I’m hoping it might be one of the games my non-gamer girlfriend might get into playing with me.*

Does Blaze do the backwards kick on SoR 2 or is that just the first one? I have the boxed Megadrive cartridges for both sitting about six feet away from me right now on a shelf but I can’t remember. The backwards kick was my favourite move. I’ve fond memories of playing the first one with my brothers on a tiny black…

Nothing that happens in videogameland is news. News is shootings and elections.

Me too - at least until Disney buys them all.

All very interesting, but when will it be ready for me to surreptitiously cheat my friends who kick my arse on the SNES even when I’m sober and they’re drunk?

D’oh.

You can disagree violently and debate violently, but you can’t physically attack people.

I’d never heard of that Japanese cannibal before but thanks to Wikipedia I now know some of the details. It sounds like he’s not exactly had everything his own way, but he is indeed free and a minor celebrity. And obviously a black metal band named an EP after him because, of course. The world’s fucked, but we knew…

Pretty sure Kevin Spacey’s career is over.
