Thanks Lesley. By the way, I had no idea what FIFY stood for. Guess what I did? I'll give you a clue. It's starts with a G and ends in oogle.

Surely if we found everything we need from Google, it would reduce the amount of interraction we have with each other. No need to converse or chat to discover things - just ask Google, sounds rather dull and eliminates the delight of talking to others. :) I see where you're coming from Ralph but im...

If??? You posted at 8:45. Wasn't it obvious they would lose at that stage?

I've gone for the top one even though some days I will just do the duel but overall I would do well more than 7 games, not including the duel, in a week.

The 3DS doesn't work if you've only got one eye. It's Nintendo's way of trying to stop pirates. © S. Parkin?

In other tournaments, it's taken me a week to organise one game against one person. I don't think a round robin system or even a group stage is gonna work. Should really be just a straight knockout.

I just remembered I won 500 quid on the lotto a few years ago and I spent in on a big bag of weed. Nowadays I'd probably spend it on a new guitar.

Sometimes advertising is so blatantly cringeworthy that it somehow transcends cringeworthiness and is actually good. I'm undecided as to whether BBC Sport's trail for the Masters is one of these rare occasions. Haha that's great! I'm sure it is. I wouldn't know though as "media cannot be playe...

I do love the Wii technology and how versatile it is tho, even if most of the games I've played so far are rubbish (recommendations welcome). Games on the wii where the motion controls are at a minimum or non existent are the best. The Mario Galaxies, New super Mario brothers, Zelda Twilight Prince...

Ian Dent arrived in to apterous just after midnight asking if people had seen the news on the front page of apterous that it was shutting down. Managed to hoodwink Scott Gillies.

I thought that too.

Mark James

When you say each variant of numbers will appear an equal number of times do you mean 6 small, 1 large 5 small etc. or variants like hyper and omelette? You can probably count me in either way but it all sounds a bit finicky.

I have an irresistible urge to go a bit adult with you. http://www.ldsamra.org.uk/playvideo.aspx Was I the only person that was expecting there to be some kind of porn on that link?

That's one of the lamest things I've ever seen. The following video of the house that looks like Hitler is quality though. As for ghosts, according to Professor Brian Cox our current understanding of the laws of thermodynamics means there's no afterlife.

I'm unemployed and looking to stay that way for the time being. Just can't think of anything I'd really like to do. Unless there's a premiership football club looking for an unfit 29-year-old with no discernible talent. Besides Man City obviously. I couldn't play for those bastards.

For me games are more important than consoles. The snes probably had my favourite games though so I might go for that but then I remember all the N64 classics like Goldeneye and Blast Corps.
