  1. In Australia, eh? I hope you can still provide a UK mailing address as per the T&Cs. If not, you can always use mine!
  2. Gaaahhh!! I forgot to put Al's face on Socktopus!
  3. At the risk of making a fool of myself yet again... It must be 6.
  4. First impulse says 26 edit: although further consideration reveals that once again I'm struggling with basic numeracy!
  5. Not forgetting Taxi Driver and Apocalypse Now!
  6. Is it just me or did everybody watch that with closed captions on after reading the transcript from yesterday?
  7. Is it just me or is everyone seeing yesterdays video again? Edit: Fixed now
  8. *ahem* It must have been a different socktopus that only had 7... or the data file got corrupted during the upload... or... or... I really AM losing it! EDIT: The original clipart image is actually called 'Smiling Octopus with six tentacles'
  9. OK Here we go... It's a Socktopus! Edit: Yes I know it only has 7 tentacles!
  10. I was trying to think of an appropriate theme tune for Socktober* and I think I may have found it! George Melly and the Feetwarmers with 'Your Feet's Too Big!' Worthy of a bonus entry IMO. EDIT: *In addition to the fabulous current theme tune!
  11. Yay!! Got called in to a safeguarding training session and I thought I'd have missed it, but it looks like ILM is still working on the FX.
  12. http://www.clipartguide.com/_named_clipart_images/0511-0701-3117-1335_Skeleton_Behind_a_Business_Desk_clipart_image.jpg EDIT: Sorry. Did everyone get all excited then?
  13. :DCool! I'll give it a week, pay off my mortgage and then come back here. EDIT: Doesn't look like a very popular school. There's only one pupil. The further information headings are The School - The Job - The Child!
  14. It is indeed the anniversary of the sailing of the big ship upon the ally-ally-oh and the sinking of said vessel to the bottom of the sea.
  15. I'll never forgive him for trying to fill Tom Baker's shoes as Dr Who!
  16. A few months ago, my milkman started leaving plastic bottles. I was gutted! Thankfully, less than a fortnight later, we were back to glass. I don't know whether people had phoned up and complained/threatened to cancel, or whether there was just a shortage of glass bottles for while, but I'm SO glad it wasn't permanent.
  17. When I moved house just over two years ago, it took me a few weeks to track down a milkman. I ended up knocking at someone's house a couple of streets away when I saw empty bottles on the doorstep. It's certainly not as cheap as buying a four-pinter from a supermarket, but it's about more than just price. I love putting the empty bottles out before going to bed, knowing that in a few days, they'll be sitting in someone else's fridge. I love opening the door of a morning and finding my milk just sitting there waiting for me. I love the feel of the glass bottle, as opposed to the flimsy disposable plastic containers, and as for the taste... Simple fact - you just can't beat milk that's delivered to your doorstep in a glass bottle.
  18. I'm just wondering if he'd be so eager to tell Barack Obama the details about THAT phone call!!!
  19. I've never won anything in any of the VeryPC draws, but this time... I garter good feeling about it.
