Anybody notice that the two worst post-apocalyptic movies ever BOTH 'star' Kevin Costner?

In case you are wondering...(The Postman and Waterworld)

That's it...blame The Sun for everything!!! Why not blame the Mail or the Mirror??

mm...Rutger maybe???

The Hitcher?

Planet Terror...but that is post-2000

The plural of "BUS" is "BUSES"...NOT BUSSES!!!!!!
[/picky]

You ARE allowed to read on a bus, as long as you don't happen to be driving it at the time! (and you don't have a 'quick one' while reading Playboy or Rustler or whatever!)

NOTE: Don't be a total lazy prat and leave your bloody newspaper on the bus when you have finished it!

With the new 5-star Euro rated engines, buses actually produce a LOT LESS nasty stuff than people imagine, and I get 12 mpg out of my Volvo...better consumption than an some cars!

I live miles out in the country with very limited service (4 or 5 buses a day between 8.00 am and 5.00 pm).. I would have to cycle/walk 5 miles just to get to civilization.

I am too old/decrepit to even think about cycling anywhere! (But I _DO_ get free bus travel anyway!!

I think it MIGHT be a TMA

Sod the toast and kittehs, just break out a nice cup of tea

Quote from HHGTTG :

The Heart of Gold was the prototype ship for infinitely improbable travel. The principle is that as its drive reaches infinite improbability, the ship passes simultaneously through every conceivable and non-conceivable point in every conceivable and non-conceivable universe (in other words, when one activates the Infinite Improbability Drive, the ship is literally everywhere at once). It is then possible to decide at which point you actually want to be when improbability levels decrease.
It is the infinite improbability drive in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy that saves Arthur Dent and Ford Prefect from certain death by asphyxiation in deep space after being thrown out of the Vogon ship; the improbable odds against being rescued being two raised to the power of the Islington (London) flat phone number where Arthur had met Tricia McMillan, aka Trillian, who is aboard the Heart of Gold with Zaphod Beeblebrox. Incidentally, Adams explained in the annotated volume of the original radio scripts that it was the eviction of Arthur and Ford out the spacelock of the Vogon ship that led to his own "invention" of the Infinite Improbability Drive. Adams realized that he had worked the story into a dead end, thinking in frustration that the only solutions would be "infinitely improbable." In a flash of insight and what Adams called "mental jujitsu", the Infinite Improbability Drive was born.
In the third book, the Infinite Improbability Drive is discovered to be the Golden Bail of Prosperity in the Wikkit Gate. It is stolen by the white Krikkit robots, however, it was returned and the Heart of Gold returned to operational status.
An earlier attempt at using the improbability drive, Starship Titanic, was also mentioned. In theory, the infinite improbability drive would make it infinitely improbable that anything would go wrong. It was not successful, however, ending in a "Spontaneous Massive Existence Failure." This was because, in these earlier times when the nature of improbability was less well understood, it was not appreciated that any event that is infinitely improbable will, by definition, occur almost immediately.
Because of such problems with the infinite improbability drive, efforts were made to find an alternative. For example, since it is well known that nothing travels faster than bad news, research was done and a prototype drive system created. However, spaceships powered with bad news were soon found to be so profoundly unwelcome whenever they arrived anywhere that it really was not worth the trip. Eventually we learn that IID has been superseded by the Bistromathic drive, based on the alternative mathematics used by waiters in restaurants, which has the advantage of not having improbable side effects or improbable things going wrong. The Starship Bistromath is more maneuverable than the Heart of Gold, but it seems that the Heart of Gold is still the faster of the two.
The engines of the drive manipulate the ship in such a way that it exists in every possible existence and will, by law of probability, eventually end up at its destination

[showoff] Sorry guys, but I have a "Full House"...only thing I HAVEN'T got a full license to drive is a tank (or track-laying vehicle)...full list:

Cats A, B, BE, C, C1E, D, DE, D1E, f, k, l, n, p.

Held 'A' since 1971, and 'B' since 1972. Got the rest in 1982.

Quote from spacedskunk :

There are annoyances online though, such as nooby unlocks/perk, like grenade spam, and the ability to drop a live grenade when you die.

The worst annoyance online are hackers/cheats..it's really demoralising to be on a server when some guy shoots you in the head from the other side of the map...through about 6 walls!
Try only going on servers you trust, with admins that instaban the cheats..another tip is to go on servers with killcam enabled..its a pain, but in my experience the cheats tend to stay away from them.

Is it? could it be?...

Surely not...


It IS!!!!1!!one!!!1!





It's a MARS BAR!!!!

She's playing Harry Potter

...but at which sport/game?

Found this so I thought it needed a bump

Too late...we had a long running comp with those rules YEARS ago on dSRC...check with Dodo.ger how we set it all up

On my old DT 125 I used to hit speedbumps as fast as possible just to see how high I could jump
Problem was, the old DT wasn't very fast

QT has had his hand in a great number of movies, either as director, writer, producer or even actor...sometimes all 4 together!

I suggest seeing doctor about that cough Squid...or maybe give up smoking!

Me caught unaware...you can see why I got that Simpsons piccy!

Just got around to re-installing my Steam games....got loads (Already had all the old HL stuff up to HL2) and added the Orange Box pack when it came out..
CoD and others I got in stores....but my Steam list is pretty full. Strange how I have more FUN playing TF2 than I do playing CoD!

ot....anyone really, REALLY want a HL2 license...I can give it as a "gift"!

Quote from DieKolkrabe :

Hey all.

I'm stumped trying to track down two old games

One of them was (I think) for the Atari ST, I remeber very clearly it was a space based game, where the player had to walk around their ship and configure every system before launch

The second was (again I think) for PC, it had a landing screem that had a planetar map and an interior top-down view, with a radar-like screen, with the player's characters displayed as blue circles

Pretty sure the first one is Shuttle...I remember trying to get it working on my old ST...buggy as hell (kept freezing IIRC!), but the idea was great!

LFS Demo??
