First up, apologies for reading too fast and understanding too little - and the sarcasm. No need for that.

Yes, PSP did outsell DS by 15%.

To make my point, I should have said "In comparison to the console sales competition, the handheld race was a more close run thing..."

Point taken. Moving on now...

Cheers

Please note that it has been illegal since 2003 to use the above word in everyday conversation, since it brings discussions past accepted levels of pretentiousness.

This law was introduced in response to 'The Architect' scene in Matrix Revolutions. Reply

Now that I'll happily concede! Reply

Dear SPOnGers

Right now, I'm sitting here with my skin covered in small red blotches and my eyes being attacked by pixies (probably 10xMegaPixies) with tiny buckets of battery acid which they use to dip their sandpaper-covered pickaxes in - oh, they then laugh merrily has they drop quartz grit under eyelids every half an hour.

While this is happening all my joints are being filled with rusty ballbearings and my throat filled with slices of sheet steel. Yes, it's the summer.

For those in the know - I have not even been close to any red wine. In fact, I have not had a drink of life-giving booze since Friday night.

The antihistamines are as useful as cloaks of dried lemon grass in a fire.

This puts me in a bad mood for no good reason.

Yours

You know for a second, I thought you were trying to insinuate that SPOnG isn't part of the above.

Did you not say, "though i woudn't attempt to literally do that"? You did.

All I said was that I wanted to see you attempt it. I can't see me misquoting you there. In fact, I wouldn't dream of it. And, no matter what my mood, I would never put you in the same frame as SS4.

Cheers

ha!

are you ok? you seem a little defensive.. you have to realise, i am very hard to offend. i was only joking. and you kinda semi quoted ms doyle, so thats ok.

and you did misquote me, for comic effect, i was just going along with it. is all..

not everybody on here is a demented social retard. (are we allowed to say that?)

im looking at you (insert name here) Reply

To be frank, I'm in pain and whinging about it to all and sundry as my Pom stereotype demands. I'm never happy about it even being hinted that I misquote. And as for classing us in the same mouldiness (sic) as any of Murdoch's rags... well... just... well... that makes me angry as a bee in a China Shop who can't find a way out due to the windows and doors all being sealed up to stop the bargain-hunting bulls getting in.

Atchooooooooo!!!!!!!!

you realise i was being sarcastic right?

(being born and living my whole life in england brings out the sarcasm in ya) Reply

just to clear things up. this is what you wrote:

"mrAnthony wrote:

I want to see you attempt to literally cut sexual tension with a knife.

Go on... go on, go on, go on.

Go on.

Go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on.

Go On.
Editorial Director - SPOnG.com - yes, blame me."


but the way it is formatted, is that all that YOU said, was made to look like I had said it. so therefore i was saying that you misquoted me.

that is all, i was just playing about with a fact that a mistake was made. is all... Reply

Atchoooooo!!!

Yeah... I realise it. Hence the "bee in a China shop" response... which, thinking about it should probably have been, "bee in a china shop" what with it being the shop that sells stuff made out of china rather than a shop selling the country.

I'm dying here by the way.

Atchooooooo!!!! Reply

so the chinese take away dont actually sell bits of china?

i feel ripped off.

or perhaps bits of chyna? though nobody wants that.

and yes i realise you're "dying".. (pats you on the head) it'll be ok, whos my brave boy. who's my brave boy. Reply

If it’s hay fever you’ve got, then pills alone don’t hack it for me either. So this year I’ve used pills, local honey, eye drops, nasal spray, “Hay Max” nasal balm and stayed away from the outdoors (unless at the beach), plus pollen filters in the car. At its worst I used an air flow helmet at work, a small island of filtered air bliss, though you really don’t want to sneeze when you’re wearing it, or be seen wearing without an excuse, (it’s not a good look).
With sympathy for your small hell, Wasp.
PS airflow helmets start at £255.

It's a little more than hay fever. My Aussie doctors told me to take the antihistamines and bloody well get over myself.

Jebus Cripes! £255 - what the hell is an airflow helmet?

Cheers for the sympathy and advice,

Tim Reply

A PS airflow helmet?

Will that simulate the wind through my hair and blow my cheeks out when I'm playing Warhawk?!

I'll get my coat. Reply

You should give bad hay fever a shot sometime. It has all the same things you've got, apart form the sore throat, and lasts for three months.



You'll see them and helmets like them on TV; either on people trying to look like forensic investigators, or as space helmets on sci-fi. Few things kill the illusion of distant worlds, in the far future, than seeing stuff, you use for the mundane, being used to do the incredible.

The new ones might do that a bit, but the old one I use is a bit to tried and asmatic

The new ones might do that a bit, but the old one I use is a bit too tried and asthmatic to move stuff as rigid hair.
Maybe you could try a clip on desk fan, clipped to a peaked cap. It would a lot cheaper, a lot more powerful, and to heighten the experience, add real danger by removing the fan guard.
I take NO responsibility, should anybody try this, or tell someone less prone to thinking to try this. So if SS4 or Bentley gets their face fanned a bit too hard, it not my fault, right.
