Mike Springett beat me to it in the Facebook discussion, but obviously there will be a parkrun happening as well on this weekend.

Just like to let everyone know there will be a parkrun happening over the weekend for Colin 2020 too. And Colin 2022.

Matt Morrison

Is it refusing to print or showing as offline? Mine has improved to almost perfection by checking out the Window settings for auto on/off, and now I never turn the printer off myself but leave it to turn itself to low-power standby/off and then get automatically woken again by network traffic rather...

Matt Morrison

If this thread didn't exist, and Gevin thought your advice was serious and that you were a generally a honest and intelligent person, what do you think you could make him do if you told him that it would help him get a faster PB at a park run?

I will start with:
- shave his head

Matt Morrison

Is it a wireless network printer? I have one of these, and I've finally got to grips with it, but the first few weeks it was a fucking nightmare of connection issues. If it's not wireless then you're just stupid.

Matt Morrison

Glad I consider Ryan a real friend.

Matt Morrison

I think you kind of answered your question at the end there, though you started with "hard to get", which I'd read as a matter of availability and access, and ended with "a bit rubbish", which I read as a judgement on quality. I may have got both or either of those readings wrong. I've had some very...

Matt Morrison

You're definitely right that it's a thing. I don't think this is the original site (although it does look shit enough to have been going for 15-20 years) but there is http://stuffonmycat.com. That said, maybe it's not as widespread a natural impulse as it might feel as I'm sure successful blogs in t...

Matt Morrison

What generic group would you assign them to? Crisps?

Matt Morrison

I've just realised in my head I kind of count poppadoms as a bread.

Matt Morrison

But real Indians eat with their hands, with bread, or if not bread then you most definitely need rice (which surely fits with your "carbs sap my curry hole" point). So you can totally get down without the bread or rice if you're spooning, but bringing up how Indians eat doesn't work for you.

Matt Morrison

Nonsense. You only have to look at sexy truffles, which don't exist in fist-sized versions, to know you're talking shit. Some reasons why small chocolates might not exist in large form: - they are higher quality and would be too expensive for the consumer to eat in one go at a larger size - they are...

Matt Morrison

I don't think they do at all. For me, Roses/Street are much cuter, have more tradition/emotion tied to them, and, on a far more logical level of judgement, provide a lot more variety which is the whole point of these sort of boxes right?

Matt Morrison

Ah nice one Gevin. I didn't actually know this, since I spend so long in the flipping quick reply box. Dunno why it only works with the full editor.

Matt Morrison

Haha

I haven't missed chocolate this much in ages actually.

Matt Morrison

I put Galaxy Caramel top and ended up putting Malteaser bottom, but mainly because I can't remember exactly what it's like. All the others are miniatures of proper bars, whereas the Malteaser Celebration isn't a mini Malteaser. Really embarrassing spelling mistakes/comprehension errors in here. It'...

Matt Morrison

Not answering as I was prepared to rank bar mitzvahs and half-birthday parties.

Matt Morrison

Adam Curtis stuff is awesome.
Highly recommend Bitter Lake and HyperNormalisation.

FFS Robbo, way to ruin No NuT November.

Haha, two days left as well. You know Robbo couldn't hold it in. Emoticons bursting everywhere.

Matt Morrison

Have we done early Matthew Corbett and Charlie?

Matt Morrison

The only effort I am willing to go to to convince you otherwise would be to show you the amount of money I've earned, and I feel like that is just playing into your hands. I guess we're not talking about corner kebab shops here, we're talking about big companies willing to put aside a couple of perc...

Just piercings. Stretched ears and two pierced nipples There was a guy on Masterchef yesterday with massively stretched ear piercings (like, both earlobes were just big holes with what looked like black plastic rings to keep the holes open) and I'd be terrified that something could get caught in on...

Matt Morrison

Could I have speedrunners please (and if you're feeling really generous, ultimate chicken horse as well?) Thanks a lot :) Looking back I don't know why I gave you ultimate chicken horse. I can't remember if I thought I already had it or I wasn't excited by it, but subsequently got high with a frien...

Are Colin McRae or Dirt still available? I like a good driving game, and I've not had one on my laptop for a long time (excluding emulated oldies).

coming right at you via PM

Two pizza cutters, in a variety of geometric shapes.

Yep. But you also only like one song. Entertainment is not for you.

I wear what my partner lovingly calls 'Night Knickers

This is wonderful. Gevin would like a photo for clarification.

Matt Morrison

Maybe the tattoo question should have its own thread because in the last twenty years or so it's becoming quite common Agree with Gevin it's not a good suggestion for this thread. Hang your head in shame. But then raise your head again because this is a great new thread. I bet there are some intere...

No wallet , although I do keep my credit / debit cards etc in a tin.

This made me chuckle since the word "although" doesn't work at all here.

Matt Morrison

Pizza cutter? Ridiculous suggestion. I think this was a really good suggestion, and I daresay nearly everyone here has a pizza wheel or a dedicated pizza cutter in a different geometric shape. You're the dick here. Not got a microwave though. Not a bad shout. Though I still think not as ubiquitous ...

Can highly recommend slippers, even though I only ever seem to wear mine when I go for a sleepover (cute) at my mate's house who has a dirty "outside-y" floor. They are super cool. I usually sleep with my tits and bits on display but I do have a pair of loungewear-type shorts and (separate) t-shirt ...

Matt Morrison

Thought you meant Ashwin Shah for a minute.

Matt Morrison

Now, come on. Have you or have you just been Googling people off of Countdown's names?

Matt Morrison

The Dripping Pan is a fucking horrible name for anything other than things I don't like.

Also managed to spot the fuck up I made adding the fixtures on apterous before Zarte spotted it for me, so that's good.

We finally have ...

Matt Morrison

Haha that's a great story.

Matt Morrison

See, Mark's a good guy. And yes Gevin I guess it's fair to differentiate "swimming" and "being in the water", which I think both Mark and I have alluded to. I like them both but being in and around water is the best part for sure. I understand why you didn't get this at first as there is no way to h...

Matt Morrison

I just cannot agree with you at all Gevin. That's all I have time to say right now, but I'm hoping to find modern C4C-ers agree with me more than with you and do the work for me.

Matt Morrison

Seems to be this: viewtopic.php?p=2 (IDs 0 and 1 no longer exist)

Matt Morrison

Any update here?

Matt Morrison

Criminal Prosecution. It means Jason is posting to us from prison. Consider it a trial run for the next lot of posts from Richard Brittain. Wow. I like swimming by the way. I used to be pretty good (I remember doing 50 lengths for a BHF sponsored swim when I was young enough that 50 lengths was dec...

Matt Morrison

Yeah Graeme at his best.

Matt Morrison

Great shout. Forgot to update this. I've hit 11 then! Truly wonderful.

Matt Morrison

Haha, not necessarily the response I expected, but that's for the best.
This thread is already a car crash, no need to rubberneck.

Glad to hear it's going well (as obviously it would).

Matt Morrison

You know you done fucked up when you make Graeme swear.

Matt Morrison

Totally agree you cannot have more than one group per table. I'm far from the most ADD around, but I found that really distracting/annoying/frustrating at Colon.

Matt Morrison

Basically, no-one wants to play more than six games I do. Irritates me how long people give for lunch breaks. Less wandering around, more Countdown. Or make the whole event shorter. The pub's for chilling, the Countdown tournament is for playing Countdown. I'm up for making events shorter. I don't ...

Matt Morrison

Great tips. Great idea for a thread too. I think there's a small part of all of us that is tempted to host an event, though I imagine that is almost exclusively due to either "I know this cool venue/place to go afterwards that everyone would love" or "I would love to proudly show Countdown people ho...

Am I the only one who can take a shit and then after I have wiped and washed my hands, can then immediately take a piss. This was discussed a while back I believe.

Didn't think you were gonna accept the faceless :( I won't. They signed up agreeing to the rules, so I'll give them a chance to provide a picture.
