No.2 is the Zeitner Marine Chronograph. 'Google Image' it for some better pics. Lu-"let the beast beware"-cy .

This is a slide in a works presentation I'm doing. A colleague of mine is holding the toilet roll on the right and Paula Radcliffe (marathon runner) is on the left. I need a funny caption or speech bubble to go in it. Any ideas ? Much appreciated.

You know how you get a big preview for a blockbuster film, and when you see that film it sucks ? Well your cartoon strip..............ISN'T LIKE THAT AT ALL. Good job dude. Nice work. Lu-"let the beast beware"-cy .

Why oh why do they put the buttons on the bottom of the phone. Surely it would be more ergonomical to stick the numbers on top with the screen below ? Most people I know use their thumb to push the buttons. The thumb is on the top of your hand so it would make more sense to position the buttons to correspond. Lu-"let the beast beware"-cy .

I'm looking around for a new one as well. Preferably a fliptop one. I've got it whittled down to two. Motorola V220 with camera or Samsung X460 without. the reason I mention this is cos they got on your list the Samsung E700 which gets good reviews.

So you can get Gerb to add earings to your BletherPark character now. Lu-"let the beast beware"-cy .

Too little and too late, but it kept me occupied for 5 minutes. Lu-"let the beast beware"-cy .

I flew a Robinson R22 about 18 months ago. Second best thing I've ever done in the air. I had 2 two hour sessions where I was allowed to fly around using the stick at 2k. I also got to try the hover. After quite a few attempts I managed to get to a point where I was able to keep it in a fairly stable spot using the stick, but as soon as she said "OK, let's see if you can do it now with the rudder pedals as well" I went all over the place like a drunken squirrel. As a finale she flipped and twisted the thing around like a pro to show what you could do after hours and hours of lessons. Great stuff. I advise anyone to give it a go.

OK, I've been back in work for 4 weeks which total 140 work hours. I can honestly say that only 2 of those hours have actually been spent doing work. The rest of the time I have to find ways to waste time. (DZ.com being one of them. thanks guys.) Also the managers I work with are egotistical, self important, immature assholes who would seem more at home in a high school playground than an office. I've worked with some really nice people in other departments here but it seems that this one is a magnet for jerks. Why then do I put up with this shit ? Well the salary and benefits are the best around and I'm not prepared to waste 16 years worth of working here which will determine the amount of any redundancy package I get. In 12 months time the whole Agency I work in will be re-organising so I hope that this will offer me some opportunities to find a better position. Do you guys think I'm crazy ?

One movie quote I use a lot, which has been used in a lot of American movies, is "Goddam son of a bitch !". Trouble is that we Brits never use the word "Goddam" so I get funny looks whenever I do. Also I've only ever heard "Goddam" said in an American accent and so I say it the same way. It just doesn't sound right or natural with a Welsh, English, Irish or Scottish accent. "Does everyone pay ?" "Does a hobby horse have a wooden dick ?" Lu-"let the beast beware"-cy .

Apologies if this has been posted in the past. It involves a guy, a freeway, a bridge and a swooooop ! http://www.blennus.com/index.php?option=content&task=view&id=206&Itemid= Lu-"let the beast beware"-cy .

It looks potentially wicked. It's CTRL+D'd and I can't wait to see the strips you come up with. I'm guessing your going to introduce us to two other main characters during the course of the series your preliminary cast list is missing : A diver-driver and a keg of beer.

I enjoyed playing HL Classic more at the time than I did playing HL2. Steam(ing pile of shit) also ruined the experience of HL2 for me as well as the well documented motion sickness HL2 can cause. ( I didn't realise until close to the end how to fix it. ) It's well worth getting both and playing just for the comparison alone to see how far the physics, character animations, sound effects and graphics have come in such a relatively short time.

Any movie that falls under the heading "Romantic Comedy" shouldn't just go straight to DVD but straight to the bin. A computer could write one of these scripts if you gave it the following parameters :- 1) One Male & One Female character 2) Characters come from completely different backgrounds 3) Chance meeting brings them together 4) They hate each other 5) Over the course of the next hour they fall in love with each other 6) A terrible secret is revealed on one of them and they split. 7) Lots of solitary crying from both characters 8) One character realises mistake and chases after the other to plead for forgiveness 9) Apology accepted. Roll credits immediately following hugs & kisses. 10) Insert crap, situational jokes wherever possible. Lu-"let the beast beware"-cy .

Half Life 2 Am I the only one in the world disappointed with this one ? I'm an FPS nut and with HL2 I was expecting to lose friends with "Can't come out........shooting shotgun.....fragging muvver fu**ers.........later.....much later......", but I haven't been playing HL2 like an addicted mad-bitch from Mesa. I can quite happily play it for just one hour before saving it, shutting it down and having my dinner. That to me indicates it's not as good as I'd hoped. Sure the physics within the game is fun, picking up almost everything and throwing it around like a 70's rocker in a hotel, and I'm sure it's going to be copied by all FPS's worth their salt, but I don't feel that it's the pinnacle of all FPS's I was expecting. Like Doom 3, it's good but not that good. Pro-Evolution Soccer 3 Always have a sports title on the hard drive to waste the odd half hour or so. TOCA Race Driver 2 My fave game of the moment. The feel of the various cars and the way they drive are clearly distinguishable from each other. The AI drives the opponents cars better than any guy in the real world. Unreal: Tournament 2004 Gotta have something to frag online and this is the best one since Team Fortress Classic. Waiting in the Wings to be installed : Call of Duty : United Offensive Medal of Honor: Spearhead Can't wait for Star Wars Knights Of The Old Republic II: The Sith Lords. The original KOTOR had me addicted so much that I had to roll my entire computer setup into the toilet. Lu-"let the beast beware"-cy .

National Lampoon's Animal House. In what film would you find the numbers : 104 44 30 40 36 10 Lu-"let the beast beware"-cy .

...... which one of these kitchen timers would you prefer to get as a christmas stocking filler ? I really can't decide which as they are both great. Cheers Lu-"let the beast beware"-cy .

Bad weather is the better one, because bad weather can turn into jumpable weather quicker than a conked out plane can turn into a flyable one. Lu-"let the beast beware"-cy .

CGI is getting closer to photorealism every year. I was totally fooled by CGI for the very first time when I went to see The Day After Tomorrow. The opening title sequence where there is a flyover the icefields, I knew the background of sky and mountains was a CG plate, but I thought the motion footage had actually been shot by a helicopter. I only discovered when I watched the DVD that the entire scene had been generated inside the computer. Excellently done. I wasn't planning to, but I will now go and see The Incredibles when it's out in the UK based on all your recommendations. Lu-"let the beast beware"-cy .

Yeah, contact sheet is good. Trouble is I didn't take he piccies, I just got the discs so I don't think I can use any catalogue software. Lu-"let the beast beware"-cy .

I've got 10 discs filled to the brim with photo's of buildings. I need thumbnail hard copies of these photos but I'm not sure how to do it. The two methods I'm familiar with, Paint Shop Pro and Windows Explorer, won't print thumbnails big enough. I require them of a size similar to fit 6 or 8 per A4 page. Is there any software out there that can do such a task ? Freeware would be good but any other suggestions would be welcome. Cheers. Lu-"let the beast beware"-cy .

Did the Blue Angels include their loop with the gear down in their display ? I'd love to see that. Lu-"let the beast beware"-cy .
