Nice of them, with all those women throwing themselves at you you have to be picky man.

When we were in year 10 this girl called Karen started MSNing a 60 year old physics teacher at my old school for a laugh before actually falling in love with him.

The weather is warm and I work on the ground floor of an office block right next to a window, with my eyeline out of said window probably only just slightly above the pavement.

I can't fucking stand him. I always thought he was shit as a bag full of shit on MOTD just doing the after-match stuff and can't understand why he seems to commentating on all the BBC's games.

I've never actually read one, I just find it comforting to know an institution exists in these uncertain times.

I've not had the internet at home for a while and still don't. The Robinson Recap is one of the things I'd never thought I'd miss, but do.

Ben Hunter

Sorry everyone, gonna have to pull out of this, I won't have internet at home for a good while.

Ben Hunter

Congrats Oli, been following your progress since you first joined Apterous! So awesome that you're now a series champ.

Ben Hunter

Wow! Brilliant game, loved it.

Ben Hunter

I blame the jabulani, the vuvuzelas and the bribe I took off Ryan before the game started.

warning: Group B's done one

I've not had much access to the internets this week, but I'll play my group game with Ryan as soon as.

GROUP A RESULT France 6 - 5 South Africa: http://apterous.org/viewgame.php?game=253613 A disallowed effort from Thierry 'Timerous' Henry that briefly preceded a South African surge was the only highlight from an otherwise unexciting game. Domenech will be looking for more from his team as they prepa...

I ask because a case was reported of this happening when the rhino got stuck in deep mud - in the wild I should add.

To prove to itself it could be genuinely altruistic. Or maybe it thought it was another elephant, both are fat and grey.

Unless I'm mistaken (hopefully James will confirm) we should have a very good idea of the line up for the finals today. If Scott wins Claudia is safe as Scott or anyone else can't win enough before the series ends and if Dom wins today he will probably be in because even if he loses tomorrow he'll ...

I can see the studio crumbling today and the clock falling down.

I wondered about QIBLAS too - the definition made it sound like something there's only one of? I'm not clued up enough about Arabic or Islam to be sure though. There are quite a few senses in which 'qibla' can be plural. The first is historical: when Mohammed first started authoring the Quran in Me...

I've always been intrigued by homosexuality- not in a bicurious kind of way A likely story. -How does homosexuality fit in with Darwinian theory? Surely it doesnt make evolutionary sense to be gay? In humans at least, you get lots of gay people breeding. All those gay Republicans who don't admit be...

This might be a bit radical but maybe get rid of voting all together and make it so that the prize goes to whichever game got the most nominations? I haven't checked if there's a correlation between how many noms a game gets and how big a score it gets in the vote, but I imagine that games that gene...

What about the loud alarm that goes off or are you a fast runner?

I grew up in a town where the alarm on a 2p machine is a drop of piss in an ocean of alarms going off.

I'd like them if they weren't so insanely detailed. The animations are cel-shaded with a small but very varied colour palette, which makes it pretty much impossible to tell what's even on the screen half the time. And 'Wenlock' and 'Mandeville' are shit names.

I have found the best game that pays out money is Pints make Prizes. The Hangman style game (like Hex) pays out extremely well if played correctly (tactics do come into play with which pints you fill up first etc). I won the jackpot 2 weeks ago (just £10 but not bad for 50p) and £4 the time before ...
