But doesn't the fact that he specifies Bavarian Whorehouses make you curious why he would have intimate knowledge of such businesses, or be able to compare them to similar enterprises in other regions? Nah - it's part of his charm... Besides, if I ever needed his advice on such establishments, I'd expect him to have a working knowledge of the topic. Besides, as long as he doesn't start buying up whorehouses and running them like Lord Littlefinger, it's all good...

There's a really, really rubbish magic show on Saturday nights on BBC1 - which is the main TV channel in the UK. It really pisses me off that such an incredibly shoddy show gets such top billing.
Its content is--- 1) Clips from other magic shows that somebody else has paid for. (20%) 2) Clips from 10-40 year-old BBC magic shows that they just got from their own archives. (10%) 3) Clips from old BBC magic shows in which the magician fails. (10%) 4) Clips of American amateurs doing magic tricks from YouTube. (20%) 5) Clips of American amateurs failing to do magic tricks, from YouTube. I can't begin to understand why these exist. (10%) 6) Clips of basic camera tricks, from YouTube, which the show passes off as magic tricks. (20%) 7) Clips from YouTube that really have nothing at all to do with magic or camera tricks. (10%)
And absolutely no intro, outtro or links whatsoever. And a narrator who absolutely will not shut up for more than a single second, with an appalling script.

I have narrator problems too. The author of the book I'm listening to (set in rome, see my post in Mass Effect section) has the weirdest omniscient perspective I've ever found. It zooms out, it zooms in again, it zooms out to tell a history and then zooms in again on another characters thoughts, then returns to what it was talking about 3 switches back... Really weird.

I dunno if I've said this before, but the term "Hipster".
The fuck does that term even mean anymore? Dude who listens to Modest Mouse? Craft Beer lover? Fuckhead who ravished your Warpaint album with a can of PBR in his hand? I don't even know anymore.
No I didn't do the latter,noIdidn't

Totally agreed on that one. Trying to keep up with what's cool and what's not quite cool and what's trying too hard to be cool has always been a waste of time. That 'hipster' thing was very annoying. I think it means 'people whop like things ironically but not like I do like in a lame way'.

I always thought "hipsters" were people who liked things simply so they could say they liked it first, and once it becomes popular they suddenly hate it for "selling out".
I thought they were the ones who would say things like "Oh, I'm sure you've never heard of the kind of music I like... you're much too mainstream."

I'm pretty sure it's just another term for an indie game developer. That's how I've been using it, at least.

Holy shit we got a whallop of a storm out here the last couple of days. Snow, then freezing rain, then rain, then more freezing rain, then ice pellets then snow. It's a goddam snow sandwich and 24 hours later most of the streets are still skating rinks.
On the plus side it was really slow at work today and as my section can't be left unmanned I was there for the whole day.

The bloke who keeps turning up before YouTube videos to point at his new Lambourgini and bookshelf and boast about them.
