Yo dawg, they must have heard that you like to play PS2, so they put a PS2 in your TV so you can PS2 while you etc. etc.

Very nice. But still not as good as my toaster with a Wonderswan in it. Or my Vectrex hairdryer.

Not as awesome as my portable bum washer. My inlaws kindly sent me one from Japan when I had my abcess. Nice to know what they are talking about..

[EvilBoris]

Sweet, well done, what's the position etc?

Working for a big lens manufacturer in their Opthalmic Lens arm, not entirely sure exactly what I'll be doing just yet, but it's nice to step out of the lens retail part of the optics industry and into something with lots more potential.

Just been kicked out the lounge for gawping at Nigella's humungous tiddies.

They're like a dead heat in a Zeppelin race!

Awwwwwright.
Giggedy
Pelvic thrust
Etc etc etc

She has a chest you just want to bury your face in.

Can you mod the PS2 in that telly?

And as for Nigella, I find the best way to be get away with gawping is to mildly discuss what she's actually cooking. Occasionally propose possible improvements to her recipes, but make sure you use hardcorps words like turmeric or else your cover will be blown.

your cover will be blown.

Is that a euphamism?

Motorboat FTW

I love Wedding Crashers!

Vince Vaughn is a funny guy. I regularly watch Dodgeball too.

It was pretty much exactly that phrase that got me kicked out, but I did indeed add "...and motorboat".

I didn't help that I kept rewinding the bit where she took off her coat to reveal them beauties and claimed I was "pausing it so you don't miss anything".

I think I gave the game away by still licking my lips and going "Om nom nom", despite there being no food on screen...

I'd like to see a tussle between Nigella and Will's Mum off The Inbetweeners...

Om nom nom

Someone drove into the back of me this morning, felt like a big shunt but surprisingly little (visible) damage - dented boot, cracked bumper etc. Quite noisey these crashes aren't they?

Since this morning my lower back has been aching more and more, like it is getting 'tight' and uncomfortable rather than outright pain. I mentioned this to my insurance company and since I have legal cover they are going to advise me on how to proceed with a potential injury claim.

What's the deal with this? I don't want to be a money grabber and can see it was just an accident, however the back issue has obviously come from the impact as I was fine before. I don't want to fight the guy in court and nor do I want to take all his money, but it was his fault and I'm now left with a hurting back (ok, it may all be fine in the morning in which case I'll stop thinking about it).

Anyone have any experience of this?

[Number45]

If it causes you long term issues you should definitely see the claim through - you might find you need physio which doesn't come cheap. At the very least listen to what the insurance company have to say, you shouldn't have to stump up for that.

Whiplash is nasty. It can get worse and worse too as the damaged spinal column inflames.

It happens when you get hit from behind like that. You head is heavy, so it tries to stay where it is while your body goes forward. Your previously straight line spine goes into this shape (ignore the dots, it wouldn't let me do it with spaces:

...O head
...I neck
--- spine
I spine
X body
X body

Then when the neck can't shift any more, the head tilts backwards. This then sends the shape VERY quickly from that sort of S shape into a r shape:

--O
I
X

This is like cracking a whip, thus whiplash. The injuries tend to get worse over the course of a few days as the swelling increases. Get yourself checked out.

How cool is this?

I wouldn't be able to decide between Nigella and Will's mum. God forbid I should inadvertently throw Peep Show's Big Suze into the mix to really confuse matters.

Is that a euphamism?

It was, yeah
