Sony PSP launch party

PlayStation Portable Launch Party

ChrisXS says:
"I want more pics of the Sony GIRLS!
Are alcoholic beverages being served?
What celebrities are there?
I should have swung by after work but the weather was absolutely horrible and none of my friends wanted to party tonight. Any single girls up in that place? Hit me off with some more details about the party."

Yes Chris, loads of hot single women go to launch parties for games consoles.

New Fischerspooner album

Why does it not surprise me that a Fischerspooner fan is also a Menswear fan?

I would hate to see his monthly eyeliner bill.

The most beautiful moment in my life

The most beautiful moment in my life from b3ta:

"The sun was just rising, as I reached the summit of a large sand dune on the edge of the Great Thar dessert. The horizon was alive with an awesome show of pinks, yellows and orange. It took my breath away. Such a great view couldn't be missed and I spent a pleasant few minutes having the most satisfying turd in my life. It rolled away down the dune - which made watching the view all the better. Later on, as we were preparing to leave, I noticed some Americans had stood in it. It's still the best shit I've ever had."

NOTE: This is NOT MY most beautiful moment.

low spec bittorrent client

Arctic Torrent is a minimal BitTorrent client. It wont have all the pretty features that other Torrent apps have, but focuses on low memory and cpu usage. Because it was written in C++, you dont get the high memory requirements of Java or high CPU usage of Python.

A heartwarming story

I was out with my flygirl a couple of years ago heading into Havant. A very large man jogged past us.

A few moments later a chavmobile boomed past and a spotty, malnourished face emerged and shouted something along the lines of:

"whatchoo runnin' for you fu'ing wanga"

The man stuck his finger up at them and instantly became a role model for me.

Predictably the vehicle screeched to a halt and an articulate youth emerged and started doing a strange arm-swinging dance in the man's direction.

At the same time he enquired if the gent was seeking a physical beating and did he know of a good doctor.

Things happened very quickly after this. The first scumbag got close to this man and received what I can only call a world-class uppercut.

Three others had emerged from the car ready to assist their leader in yet another easy beating and froze at the site of this. The man carried on jogging in a very calm manner in their direction.

The nearest two regained the moral high ground by informing him that he was a 'cunt' for 'chinnin'' their friend.

The larger of the two nervously stepped in his way only to be doubled over by an honest to goodness flying kick.

The remaining two gangstas decided they would let him live this time and stepped aside, hurling a bit of predictable abuse when he was about 30 yards away.

Knowing that if we hung around we would receive the beating these lovely lads still had in them we doubled back and laughed all the way home.

Top hit for "The Goose" in Romford

Goose, Romford, Essex

This must be one of the worst pubs I have ever been in. As you open the door you are greeted by huge clouds of smoke that is also desperate to get out. It is populated by the type of people that think Weatherspoons pubs are expensive. Burberry and fake bling abounds on the clientele whom wouldn't know a decent Bacardi Breezer as they were bottled by it, never mind a good pint of beer. The rest of the population is made up of old men, looking as if they had been sleeping rough most of their lives, getting quietly drunk around the walls of the pub on one of the knife scarred stools, hacking up as much phlegm as they can muster.

On one of the two quick visits I have made (mainly as a stopping off point to use the particularly smelly toilets) I was able to witness a bar brawl between two young girls having of course first moved their requisite pushchairs out of harms way. And this was at 4pm on a Saturday.
I was gracious enough to give it one point as the beer is cheap and so I didn't mind leaving most of it as I beat a hasty retreat.

Insider Info: apparently Yazz drinks there.
