The very definition of irony? [Feb. 26th, 2009|04:43 pm]
[mood | bemused]

My SingStar Abba PS3 disc has a bug, in that when you quit the game the normal way (PS button ==> Quit Game), it just restarts the console and thus the game, as any disc inside it boots up automatically when the console itself starts.

Sony know about this bug, and have uploaded a patch. In order for me to download this patch however, the system requires me to quit the game. Which restarts the console...

Very ironic. How I'm supposed to install this bug-fixer which sets off the very bug it's supposed to fix, I have no idea.

A quick appeal... [Dec. 21st, 2007|02:07 pm]
[mood | angry]

Apparently the delightful Olympic Delivery Authority is refusing to allow a charity onto its site to safely move all the feral cats that are living there, despite having originally given permission. These cats, if not moved, face death by starvation or during the demolition process, but apparently the ODA don't care.

As the charity says, "The ODA has banned the Trust from the major part of the Olympic site on Health and Safety grounds. This is despite the fact that all our rescue staff have CSCS (Construction Skills Certification Scheme) Health and Safety qualifications and we have two qualified First Aiders in the team. We are therefore as qualified to work on a construction site as unskilled labourers."

You can check here for more info. There's a petition to sign too - please sign it.

Your Score: The Frog


You scored 46% domestic, 33% gregarious, 28% trickster, and 50% intellect!




Wild, Solitary, Serious and Emotional: you are the Frog!
Sensitivity, regeneration, renewal. In many cultures, frogs are a
strong symbol of luck and wealth. Frog medicine teaches the power of
transforming oneself, a natural path of change that occurs over a
lifetime. Frog is also a symbol of femininity and fertility, and
natural healing. Frog people tend to be pleasant, positive, and well
in-tune with the energies around them.


This test categorized you based on four different axes of personality,
which were then associated with a different animal. The four axes, as
well as all possible results are explained below.


Wild/Domestic: This first axis categorizes you based on how much you
are drawn to the outdoors, versus how much you are drawn to civilized
situations. Domesticity has many shapes and forms, and varies from the
joy of dolphins leaping next to a ship to the steadfast loyalty of a
family dog.


Gregarious/Solitary: This axis measures how solitary you are. If you
scored high, it means that you enjoy the company of other people, while
a low score indicates that you prefer a more solitary lifestyle.


Trickster/Serious: This axis measures how well you line up
with conventional trickster archetypes. People who fall into this
archetype have a sense of humor and an excitable, highly chaotic
streak. Scoring low doesn't mean that you don't have a sense of humor;
it just means that you probably don't think dynamite is very funny.


Intellectual/Emotional: This last axis determines whether you
are more emotional -- acting based on feelings and instinct, or
rational and intelectual -- acting more on thought than on your gut
feelings.

[music |The Look Of Love - ABC (it was just on the radio!)]

When watching TV with [info]dengel3000 on Monday and the phonetic alphabet being mentioned, I was reminded of a conversation I had with someone ages ago where we were trying to think of the worst words to use when spelling things out over the telephone - think silent letters, words that sound like other letters, paired letters that create a new sound and other eccentricities of the English language.

So [info]dengel3000 and I had another go, and here's what we've come up with so far. You have to say them out loud to get the best effect. I'll add more when we think of them - can you guys think of any others?

A for Are (Or Aesop; EDIT: or Aitch - thanks [info]mollydot's husband)
B
C for Cue
D for Double you (EDIT: or Djinn, or Djibouti - thanks [info]bopeepsheep)
E for Eye
F
G for Gnat
H for Heir
I
J (EDIT: for Junta - thanks [info]mollydot's husband; or Jalapeno - thanks [info]baloobas)
K for Knee
L
M for Mnemonic
N
O for Oedipus
P for Psychology
Q for Qat (EDIT: or Qi, as I've just realises 'qat' contravenes the 'word must be relatively well-known in English' rule.
R (EDIT: Rong. Clutching at straws now, but trusty Scrabble dictionary tells me it's an archaic past participle of 'ring')
S
T for Thaddeus (EDIT: or Tsunami - thanks [info]bopeepsheep)
U
V
W for Whore (EDIT: or Wring - thanks [info]mollydot)
X for Xylophone
Y for You
Z


I suppose it's pretty indicative of a geeky Mensa household that the first 'th' word I thought of was 'Thaddeus'. I got laughed at for that, lol.

[music |I'm So Angry - Alice Cooper]

The Nightingale club in Hurst Street is having a review of its licence (see here).

For 'noise nuisance'.

Brought about by Crosby Homes, according to the Evening Mail. That's right, the property developers responsible for some of the nearby 'luxury apartments' (why can't anyone just live in a flat anymore?).

WHY THE FUCK do they think they have the right to build NEAR AN ESTABLISHED MUSIC VENUE then complain about the noise? Imagine if the lot near Eddie's had campaigned for it to be closed down due to 'noise nuisance'? (assuming they didn't burn it down in the first place ;-)). And as for the homeowners, well if you're stupid enough to buy a property near established nightlife then be surprised by the noise, you don't get any sympathy from me.

The Council should've told Crosby to fuck off. Other whingeing twats already got the Fiddle and Bone closed down, and apparently people who've just bought flats in Digbeth are complaining about the noise there (This site puts it well: http://www.thestirrer.co.uk/1306072.html).

WHAT DO THEY EXPECT IF THEY BUY CITY CENTRE PROPERTIES?!? GENTLE BREEZES AND THE SOFT CHIRPS OF GRASSHOPPERS???

I'd hate to live near somewhere as noisy as a nightclub, which is why I don't live near any nightclub.

As you can see, I'm not impressed about this (/massive understatement). Such complainers should be told they should have done their research before buying and then ignored. And developers should be encouraged to build away from the nightlife if they see it as such a problem. Fucking idiots.

I was idly pondering before getting up this morning, and one of my thoughts was:

If I made and marketed waterproof towels, along the lines of "Fed up of dropping your towel on the wet changing room floor leaving it too wet to use? Not any more! These new waterproof towels repel water and stay completely dry at all times!!!1!!1!"...

...would anyone buy one?

On Monday morning I woke up with a cat on my head.

Tink had decided to squeeze himself onto the bit of pillow between the top of my head and the headboard, all while I was asleep. And since I woke up at 6am and 10am and he was still there, he obviously liked it :-).

Hehe - go here to [info]dengel3000's journal to get links to the funniest mixed songs of the summer so far < /hedging bets> :

50 cent vs Thomas the Tank Engine and (my favourite) Eminem vs Benny Hill. The latter sounds as if it was made for the Benny Hill theme, lol - I prefer it to the original!

Wales stuff to follow. Probably.
