  • Field Theory: Entropy,

    The Hammers jersey was best from about 1965-72, the Bobby Moore era. Sheer classic. The Dagenham Motors and Dr Martens late '90s jobs weren't too bad either. In 2009/10 there is not enough blue in the claret and blue and that's why we can't win a game.

    Oh, hang on a minute...

  • Hard News: Windows 7: Actually Not Bad,

    So, Windows 7 is the Obama of PC OSs, compared to Bush's Vista?

    Which makes XP, what, Clinton?

    Yeh, and Windows ME was Bush Senior. I think you're onto something here?

    Heh, the only fault with Leo's plan is that it would mean Vista was eventually useful for something and this is so patently not the case. Otherwise, well done to him.

    I remember Gen-i reps 3 yearsago trying to convince me that Vista was actually a really good step forward and we should upgrade. I ignored them and stayed with XP like pretty much every other corporate around the country. In the last 12 months their view has changed to, "you'll love Windows 7, it fixes all the problems associated with Vista... #whyyoushouldneverlistentocomputersalespeople

  • Field Theory: Wait for it...,

    As a West Ham fan can I just say Bollocks! We want goals and we need 'em quick :) (At the oppo's end as well, just to clarify)

    It is possible to have an entertaining 0-0 game but not often, most of them are crap. Likewise, if a game heads into 5-0 or 6-1 territory it's seen as a massacre rather than as a great game. Like a lot of sports, no scoring is a bit dull, too much isn't great either.

  • Hard News: Invasion of the pagan matrons,

    I still haven't gotten over WoW moving away from Nelson. In large part because (due to my parents being there) it was feasible to go at least every 2-3 years.

    After the third time all the entrees start to look the same though.

    "Haven't we seen that crawling crab couch before dear?"

    "No, it was something similar but made of aluminium cans and gull feathers."

    "I thought that was the dancing goat faced baby?" etc...

    Sad thing is, we're most likely going to be in Ak and able to go to the BDO in 2011 but I'd be really happy to see all the artists listed in Russ's post to (possibly) play this year.

    Apart from Muse of course.

  • Field Theory: I'm ever so pissed.,

    I have come to the realisation that Stephen Donald's suckiness is a bit like climate change. While most people agree with it and there is huge amounts of data to prove it, there are still some pockets of deniers who still think he's actually alright.

    I don't know if there were too many people jumping from rafters proclaiming Donald as the undisputed king of the NZ pivot. Most just seemed resigned that he was our best option at 10 with Carter injured.

    And that probably still is the case.

    Let's hope some of the raw talent performing in the ANZC can make the step up.
