That really annoys me. When you are served breakfast at a hotel / guest house and you are served toast that is little more than sundried bread. Just how mean / lazy / incompetent / inconsiderate do you have to be not to spend a couple of minutes browning the bread that you are serving as toast?
This!
Its called toast, not luke warm bread.

Books & Comics / Re: Old school paper v Digital comics
« on: 17 April, 2014, 04:59:56 PM »
I read a lot to my son who's not long turned 4, his books vary from Hot hippo to Iron man (Early readers kind of stuff DC and Marvel),Also I read his comics to him. Avengers and Ben 10. I have also brought him some Adventure time comics from Kaboom. He loves them, books and comics the whole shebang.
I can't see how trying to read a book/comic to him on an tablet would be better, considering the amount of fun we have reading them, and my 21mth daughter has taken in interest in Spiderman and Adventure time. So last night she sat next to her brother while I read his one of his books and then comic. Its defiantly not something I think would be much fun using a tablet, although my son has asked when he can read properly, if he could have a kindle
So I think the paper will be with us for a very long time.

Seeing people driving their cars using mobiles, or even worse Ipads. How this doesn't register in their brains, that driving while using 8-10 inch tablet is dangerous and down right stupid beyond belief

"I cannot get up the stairs!"
Me "Why not?"
"There is a box in the way"
Me "You mean the empty box?"
"Yes!"
Me "You could move the box and go up the stairs?"
"Uh yeah"

I'm normally a peaceable man, but that ad drives me into a frenzy of vocal hate and sincere threats of actual bodily harm. DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE WHY WON'T YOU DIE.
What grinds my gears, the lack of common sense and ability to think on your feet, that seems to be effecting any one below the age of 25.
Niece complaining on twitter about her bus being late, going to miss her connecting bus to work, ok fair enough. Then complains she has waited a further 30min for said bus. The bus station she need to get to is 1.5 miles away. If she walked 200m down a hill, she would get to another bus stop for different bus that goes to said bus station and buses run more frequently. Or with the 30min waiting time she could of just walked.
More examples are available on request.

Looking forward now to the new one coming out this month.

Enjoyed this Prog again, Not sure about Sin/Dex but these are new to me so guess I don't the any of the back stories to them.
Dredd, did anyone notice the name of the block the journo lived in?
Very tongue in cheek and I did have a little chortle to it. But for me Jaegir stands out the most in this issue.

The Lego movie, took my son yesterday to watch this at the local cinema, it was his first film he has watched at the cinema. Very funny film, and my son enjoy it as well.
Lots of references to other films which being an old git, I recognised most of them

A bit late, but managed to get round to watching Batman 'Dark knight rises' over the weekend.
Such an underwhelming film. Fight scenes were laughable. Lack of chemistry between Batman and Cat women and pretty much the rest of the cast. I did like Bane and story/plot was a little different (hmm not that much) to the other films, but alias it was very very predictable to what was going to happen next. Shame really so glad I didn't go to the cinema to watch it.
