oh yeah, Cake lyrics get a star. Maybe not my favourite Cake song, but so apt - and a Cake song!

That can't be right - big 4WDs and cars with bull bars are child killers precisely because they hit the kids up high rather than "scooping them up" like normal cars.

No, no, no, a lot of the money will go on the electricals as well - who wants to bet those flippy uppy headlights no longer do their flippy uppy thing, for example?

Getting Gerrard off the field is what made them better. Rodgers cravenly sticking him back in again and messing up the entire balance of the team instantly made them rubbish again. Henderson's reward for best performance in the best team performance of the season: shunted out to the wing to accomodate slow, old,…

The low part of your drive, at 5280 feet, is higher than the entirety of the British Isles. Ben Nevis is our highest mountain, at 4409 feet. You people live quite high up, is what I'm saying.

I have seen this plane flying. I believe it was at Wings and Wheels at Dunsfold aerodrome in 2011- I found a youtube someone took on the same day. It was cool as all hell to see it, 1950s tech that still looks all kinds of awesome today. I noticed it was very smoky, that and "so cool, so so cool" are pretty much the…

It's a Lancia, by the time the time comes, it will have rusted away or fallen apart, or fallen apart, caught fire, and rusted away simultaneously, dissipating into a cloud of ashy rust and leaving Doug bouncing down the highway with a surprised look on his face.

And we could be flying these things right now and getting ready to fly them off our full size carrier, with two advantages: 1) we'd be able to integrate operations with French squadrons and with their carrier, and 2) these things actually exist as opposed to the vapourware F35, which even if it ever turns up is…

Cape Buffalo are renowned by big game hunters as scary, scary bastards who also sneakily look a bit like cows to lull you into a false sense of security. Seriously, they are bad ass motherfuckers.

Hippos will fuck your shit up, on dry land or in the water. They're huge, they've got ridiculously big mouths with giant fangs in them, and they're mean as hell. They kill more people in Africa than crocodiles do.

In Glasgow, Scotland, "fizzy carbonated beverages" are referred to as "ginger" (from ginger ale), as in "get us a bottle of ginger" "what sort?"

I get more and more convinced that NFL Bad Lip Reading is actually pretty accurate

I've seen some Fast and Furious films, so I know you also need to install one of those special gearboxes that let you shift up about seventeen times without even downshifting.

I had some decent times scuffling about in EVE although it did tend to turn into an evening spent spinning your ship waiting for something to happen or an evening spent watching bubbles waiting for someone to happen along and bumble into it. The problem with a game where the players make the stories is that there are…

Why did I not know they released a new album? I love TV on the Radio! They always sound like themselves even when they're trying something different. Don't know if they'll ever top Wolf Like Me, but they don't need to. I'm about 3 minutes into the first track on spotify - yep, that's some TV on the Radio right there.…

It's hate tinged with awe in my case though; the sheer ridiculous chutzpah of the man is incredible. It's an attested fact and I still cannot quite believe that he actually did it.

Sometimes I really wish there was a negative stars button. (Just to confirm, as you appear to be someone who might need a clue or two, this is one of those times. Right now I am wishing there was a negative stars button so that I and many other people could give you negative stars for your post.) In closing,

Didn't the Americans screw with Sweden back in the cold war, by pretending to be Russian submarine incursions in order to drive them into the arms of Nato?
I'm not saying it was Americans this time... it's definitely aliens.

It's also a strange coincidence that the manager of West Ham United was Jeremy Irons.

I would also have said the bullet train in Japan, but I'm thinking they're getting their electricity from fossil fuels these days. Still, it's not directly powered by fossil fuels and it's an awesome train, and ridiculously punctual. Also you can see mount Fuji from it, and I'm pretty sure you can't do that from a…
