And yes, I am still at my desk.

Why couldn't I just keep my mouth shut? I had an IC (honestly, purely IC) whinge on the FC lists about being the only FC member present at the National...which was probably in hindsight very stupid. I know people have very good OOC reasons for not being there, and I hadn't intended to make anyone feel bad. Honestly ( Read more... )

If anyone ever had any doubt that I know how to waste time, check this out. This is one of several items that Dash will be flogging at the National. Be afraid.

Here's an experiment. New Scientist started me off on this, and I've added my own fun.

Measure the speed of light. How, you ask? You need:

A bar of chocolate
A microwave
A tape measure
A calculator.

OK, here goes. Remove the spinny plate from the microwave and melt the bar of chocolate for 30 seconds. Remove the chocolate bar. There should be melted ( Read more... )

A new DVD is available to anyone with Level 2 access (or higher) to the Rococo Space Ninja Lounge. The tape begins with the logo of the Rococo Space Ninjas, burning itself onto the screen before vanishing smartly and revealing the true feature. The film rivals Cloverfield for slightly shaky camera style and grainy picture quality but it's semi- ( Read more... )

'But by the contrary, if a man smoke himself to death with it (as many have done) then some other disease must bear the blame for that fault. So do old harlots thank their ( Read more... )

Is it a good thing or a bad thing to be likened to James Caan at the end of Rollerball?

I'm a little foggy on how that goes down. Doesn't he just skate around on his own at the end?

Totally non-Cam related. But it made me almost wet myself laughing, so here you are.

I went to Waterloo at the weekend. As you do. Stood on the mound where the Prince of Orange was shot, caught a cold. But the true genius is the gift shop. It’s chock-full of inappropriate and bizarre Napoleonic tat. The stuff starts off normal (playing cards), ( Read more... )

He will subsequently go to a late night Safeway and buy as many tubes of Smarties as he can, with which he will try and create a mosaic 'of the Queen Mother'. He'll get about as far as pouring them on the floor and starting to rearrange them before he falls asleep.

Do you remember ‘Breaking the Magicians' Code’? It was a TV show, with the bald bloke from the X-Files, Mitch Pileggi. Each week this prancing prat called the Masked Magician would mooch about, doing the kind of ludicrous hand gestures perfected by street mimes and accompanied by some glamorous girls.
