Kristofer hivju for sternhammer in strontium dog.

I find that extra funny because the word hun is sometimes used as a derogatory term for the British in certain parts of the Emerald Isle.

Wow - those old war comics must've been REALLY confusing!

Gérard Depardieu is my new hero.

I'd avoided this week's slew of Pizza Express Review Girl tweets because I assumed they were just sneering metropolitan journalists being ironic, but there is something genuinely charming about someone seeing something unremarkable through fresh eyes and without the cynicism of professional food critics:

I'm no fan of Pizza Express but good for her. I liked that she took her mum.

I hope he paid the tax on those.

If you ever think your wierd for believing in Aliens, just remember at least your not Billy Meier.

Doesn't apply so much to us here, whose interests are genuinely marginal, but this makes interesting reading all the same:

In a debate on the nature of geek culture at its present juncture published earlier this week, my friend Frederick deBoer wrote what I think is a succinct and important summary of one of the more dismaying trends in cultural conversation today: the inability of people who love what is now the dominant culture to recognize that their interests have gone from marginal to hegemonic.

"My fear is not merely that the geeks will never come to acknowledge their triumph, as comfortable as they are in their self-professed victimhood," deBoer argued. "I fear too that we have come to so thoroughly associate fandom with grievance that the two are now inextricable. That, I suspect, is the long-term consequence of the rise of the geeks: that we no longer know how to enjoy art without enjoying it against others."

Did you see the state of them in George sq after No win? I would say Hun is polite.

as a side note I couldnae give a toss about either bigoted side and wish they could both fuck off.

She says she wants to be unattractive to men. I bet it doesn't work.

If by 'fuck off' you mean drop to a lower division and stay there, the current trajectories of the old firm suggest you may yet see your wish fulfilled.

It's Fresher's Week on the nightshift, which means being the background in uncountable (oxymoronic) selfies. 

I was in town for a drink recently.
It was like being on the set of Damo Ivor and Ivor.

There is some amusement to be derived from knowing that these charming clowns will, with complete confidence, be telling me what to do in 5 or 6 years.  I feel an Ed Reardon rant coming on. Sheer asininity etc.
