Is this the one based around the number of the beast being 666, ‘cos it’s not, it was originally 616 but someone when translatigng thought 666 sounded better. Just a bit of QI knowledge for you!
As prompted by Neon on a different thread, but mainly from my summer job working at a Maize Maze, parent who think that their children are the best things in the fucking world and don’t hesitate to tell complete strangers just how intelligent they are/awesome at sports, etc Fuck me, I do wish parents would realise that there is a 90% chance that their child will be nothing but a dim speck on the public conscience AT BEST, is probably borderline retarded and will end up with a drug addiction of some sort by the age of twenty and get out of my fucking face.
On a plus note, there was a toddler yesterday who loved the bouncy castle and was pretty awesome and had a hot mum who was really nice and somewhat alleviated my dour view of kids. And my nephew is the best kid in the world. fact.
paddy is a bloody decent chap. everyone should add him as there friend. Mark Hastead (civil servant) is a knob cheese though. and that’s a fact.
Legit, you ,iss the point yet again, I wasn’t telling you to “fuck off” I was offering advice based upon my own experiences and what I can see you doing. If I wanted to tell you to fuck off I would have (I have in the past). AS for the massive post,I had one, it was sometimes harsh in its commentary of you and so I chose to take a higher ground and not resort to the behaviour you are accusing me of. I wil not argue with you anymore on this board, I have given you my opinion of yourself and I stick to it, either realise that what you are actually doing is irritating the tits off everynody and go and get yourself sorted, or continue as you are and get no sympathy, either way I shall sever all ties with you from now on, I don’t need this emotional blackmail to frustrate me, I have happier and better things to discuss with people on this board.
P.S. I will respond to you if you post a sensible and considered post, or eve if it’s plain funny, just not if I deem it to be crap/
AS a bit of an amateur astronomer I would recommend stellarium as mentioned above mainly because it is the only one I know of that has a night viewing mode, meaning you can take it out side on a laptop and it will display in a red tint so as not to ruin your night vision. Genius in my mind. It is also bloody accurate and will give you the right information from your area (you need only click your position on a map to give it the right co ordinates too!
I would also recommend a reflecting telescope similar to Beer_Monsters, the clarity is often much greater (it’s easier and cheaper to make a perfect mirror than it is a perfect lens) and the viewing position is a lot more convenient. They are also much shorter for the same focal length (as the light beam is reflected back on itself the light travels almost twice the distance in the same length of tube).
AS Beer said you need to spend a decent amount on it, no less than £150, but I would recommend at least £200, or else buy binoculars. Did you know that 75% of the British people didn’t realise it was possible to see the moon during the day? I foyu need any help to find stuff you could always get in contact with your local Astronomical societ, there will be one near you, but you will need to make an effort to get out of the city, it’s less than pointless to do observations there, especially London.
It’s actually Bee’s that die after stinging mate, more books less 2142
In fact it’s mainly wasps that die after giving one sting and bees that survive, in either case it is not one or the other, but the majority of bees survive giving a sting but wasps do not.
I had a massive post here but I can’t be arsed, I try and ignore you but you really et my goat sometimes Legit, I refuse to stoop to your level anymore and get irritated by your posts. It occurs to me that I just don’t give a fuck about you or whether you get some sort of kick out of “winning” arguments by talking people down, it’s the internet, I like everyone in XDC, but as you’re not in XDC I needn’t even try to like you, it’s not as if I haven’t given you enough chances to convince me that there is a shred of sanity left in you, hell i even complimented you in my last post and offered you friendly advice and ended with a friendly sentiment, but I can’t be arsed anymore.
*yawn* Legit, it’s pretty boring hearing the same old crap time after time. Someone posted a video which was a pretty harsh accident and you had to go and get all technical about the issue saying “It’s not a miracle”. Of course it isn’t a literal miracle, it hasn’t been recognised by the Vatican for starters! And the crap you keep posting that winds people up is not all about what you post, but you caused some really quite bad ill feeling by “hacking” into someones hotmail account to try to prove a point, only porblem was that the point you proved was that you’re a muppet, you misuse your apparently considerable computing skills, you refuse to accept when you are wrong AND the target you chose had NOTHING to do with the point you were trying to prove. This all means you are not only desperate for attention but will stoop to any means to get it. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, when I had problems with my mental health I got help and took a sabbatical from these boards (I was doing my level best tat the time to self destruct and destroy all semblance of my past normal life, which seems to me to be what you are doing), I suggest you do the same and when you are better, come back and we will welcome you back with open arms (admittedly Insanes may be swinging with a closed fist at the end, but they will be open!).
Get well soon mate.
definitely ruse, not rouse, that would be slightly odd. Unless of course you were being sarcastic in which case you’re a numpty for trying to be sarcastic on t’internet!

I was chatting to a cabbie this evening…actually it was last night!! whatever, my body clock is outta sync…….he was cleaning out his cab so i asked him if he’d had someone puke in his cab (not uncommon on any given night) what he told me didn’t entirely surprise me but did leave me feeling very uncomfortable about people in general!! he’d picked up 2 ladies, 1 sober 1 pissed up, he’s dropped off the sober one then taken the drunk one home, she’s got out, paid him off then gone through the security gates into her nice, safe private estate……..he’s hung around to check shes in safe, as the gates have shut she’s shouted out to him……”you better check your seats at the back, they’re wet………i pissed myself on the way home” 😯 .. nice eh ? bet most of you wouldn’t like to put up with crap like that !!
So anyhows, i’ve vented now………..sorry but it had to be done, i’m knackered and had a very long week and a heavy night with argumentative customers……….how many times do i need to point out to peeps that i can’t do a U-turn in Piccadilly as its a one way system…………fucking retards!!!!!
off to bed now, will be a happy soul in the morning and probably delete this tirade 😉
just so you can’t delete it 😉
