@hondanhon @antimega He makes Ben Stiller look like a natural comedian. And with that, I must sleep. 'Night!
@hondanhon @antimega He is the least funny, most show-offy thing in it. Well, nearly.
@blech That’s certainly another data point.
@DeanVipond Phew, glad we’re not alone. You didn’t miss much in the second half.
@suegyford Weird. The dog was about the only thing that made us smile!
@matthewbloch :) It was a pleasant surprise.
Surprised how very unfunny Anchorman is. So bad. Like children showing off, rather than acting. Is it an American taste? Do Brits like it?
@chrislunch @tomcoates You’re supposed to write your own blog post in response, then send a Trackback to the original via 2004.
@tomcoates I reckon you’re on track to pick up Best European Weblog again!
@tomcoates Worth waiting all those years!
@tomcoates You should totally blog about what you think of it.
@tomcoates How is it? I’ve never got round to giving it a whirl.
@GreatDismal “my Lady Castlemaine hath all the King’s Christmas presents … given to her … a most abominable thing” pepysdiary.com/diary/1663/02/…

Islington, England, United Kingdom
Aw bless, Dopplr still apparently host with Bytemark.
@joe_malia @tomstuart Have you just got the next gen equivalent of a single game home console like Astro Wars? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astro_Wars
@chrislunch Oh. Any other chores you need doing? Anything?
@chrislunch Yes sir. One year I *shall* go to the ball!
Doing all your washing up.
@kevinmarks @holgate @dracos @Zoonie @tomcoates Sorry, fair enough.
@kevinmarks @holgate @dracos @Zoonie @tomcoates “push”? You’ve already lost most people.
@0898CHEATHCO Yes
@dracos @holgate @Zoonie @tomcoates “just” can hide many complexities for a non-coder :)
@holgate @blech @Zoonie @tomcoates @indec Ghost is the latest thing isn’t it? But node tricky to deploy, relatively.Nothing beats php still.

That's not "futuristic", that's how was until you tried to optimize profits and hired only part-time at minimum wage.
