Beefy's Corner.......For all off Topic threads

This episode of Top Gear is pretty brilliant.

 

I'm watching a film at the moment, I'll catch up on iplayer.

 

I do wish Clarkson would lose his illogical hatred of motorbikes, so that they would feature some. The other two are keen bikers.

 

Caroline Flint is the dirtiest looking mp, really surprised she's only 10th. Would also have a dabble with baldy dinnange's daughter, not because she's particulary fit , but to piss the skate twat off.

 

They're certainly right about the handbrake.

 

Clarkson's public persona rarely reflects his personal views. As he said to Alastair Campbell: "I don't believe what I write any more than you believe what you say." He's sold his stake in Top Gear now as well, so I think the content of the show probably just reflects what the viewers want to see. I'd like to see them do some stuff on bikes as well, but maybe they don't think there would be enough interest.

 

I think this Celtic fan took the loss to Juventus VERY badly...

Fitting that.. excluding the welcoming note to Beefs, that post by DTLW was reply number 666.

 

Ah, I was too busy watching Glee. Covered some interesting songs today, Heroes by David Bowie and Some Nights by Fun. Which is a great song. And I love it when they play at the gym, it's just so damn motivational! Though it's kinda annoying that Glee and Top Gear are on at the same time.

Also Joe, just a quick question, you know the Enchanter perk on Skyrim which increases the power of enchanted items, does that also increase their value? Also, is there any way to learn enchantments without destroying items?

 

Never mind PL. I hear the BBC have just invented something called iPlayer for annoyed people like you. Of course, years ago there were things called video recorders, which allowed you to record the channel that you couldn't watch because you were watching the channel you preferred. Gosh..! Isn't that amazing..? Even before the modern world came about in 1993 they had stuff like that to use. The mind boggles..!

Damn it, I've just spilled nearly a whole glass of red wine over my desk. That's what you get for taking the mickey..!

 

Yeah, I think it should increase their value. I'm not 100% on this, but I'm pretty sure a better enchantment = higher price.

I'm afraid the only way of learning new enchantments is through disenchanting. Always keep an eye out for weapons/armour that have new enchantments so you can learn them. My favourite weapon has the paralyze and fire damage enchantments (I have the Extra Effect perk which allows two enchantments) and it kicks copious amounts of arse. 117 base damage + 38 fire damage + extra damage while on fire + paralyzed for 7 seconds. It feels almost like cheating.

 

But I prefer to watch programmes live. Then it can be seen as a shared social experience.

 

Reports going round now that the owners of Leeds United (GFH Capital), have contacted Nigel Adkins in the last couple of hours.

 

So watch programmes later with a friend..!

No seriously, I know what you mean. This is why people will watch a film on TV, with possible adverts too, and yet they have the DVD or Video in the cupboard. Where's the logic..? It's an interesting subject. It's people trying to fit into the social mindset. Ever since I realised the herd instinct is alive and well I have always tried to fight it. Yes, I will occasionally watch or do something with friends, after all, that is indeed being sociable. But watching a TV programme during the time that it is broadcast seems to be taking it too far for me. Who am I sharing it with, aside from potential people or friends who drop in..? Besides, if I can't watch the programme live [because I don't want to, or can't watch the TV when the broadcast comes up] am I to deny myself the experience because it isn't the perfect scenario..? Besides, I don't want to be a slave to the box in the corner of the room. The technology gives me the power to decide. It would be a shame not to utilise it because it is both freeing and breaks the bond between me and the herd, allowing me to go and do other things [possibly non-herd stuff].

My initial post was meant as a joke, but you point out an interesting facet of behaviour, Pomp. Good one.

 

Someone seems to be voting for all of the Conservatives, as they hold 13 of the top 15 right now.

 

Been thinking about how I'd feel about Nigel becoming Leeds Utd manager, a few times today. I do wish he'd find a nicer club. Leeds would be a fantastic challenge for him, but I don't think he'd find a better job than there, at the moment. The money is about to go in. They have a history of success from the start of regular televised football, so they are well known. They have a fanbase just waiting for a manager they can really get behind. Is Nigel too nice for them..? I hope they don't turn on him if it doesn't go brilliantly, right from the off. That's if he wants/gets the job, of course.

Don't sully your hands, Nigel..!

 

I noticed that as well, it must be a thing about posh crumpet.

Need more women in parliament anyway, whether ugly or fit. Too many of the same types at present, white middle class males. Not sure how to encourage it though.
