As Karlos doesn't drink, I'm sure he won't mind drinking that one, and then buying myself one on his behalf either!

Eh Karlos? ;-) :pint:

If they're wearing turtle neck jumpers and rimless specs they will need tenderising with a 2x4 (complete with rusty 6" nails) first.  :evilgrin:

Is there any kind of self-obsessed "always on tv telling you how sh*t your taste is" interior designer type that *doesn't* need working over with said nail-encrusted length two-by-four before being burned at the stake?

If you ask me, it's too good for 'em :evilgrin:

Well, the first thing that popped into my vacant mind..

 .. Gag them with Bloodlines sock, and force them to listen to that Crazy Frog song on auto repeat whilst holding their eyes open with matchsticks and being forced to watch Big Brother (or whatever UnReality show is on at the time) for 24 hours.
  Reformat their PC and install Windows 3.0. Although they've probably got a Powerbook, so gimme that and buy them an Oric Atmos.
 
  Then once the pretentious little {Ashcroft}'s spirits have been broken, send them down the DSS/Job Centre/Whatever Labour are calling it this year, to get a proper job.

If you put it like that it looks kinda a lot, eh?

-edit-

To be fair, probably a few hundred were in the various groaner's corner threads.

-/edit-

I'm sure that there are plenty of more prolific posters when viewed in posts/unit time. I seem to remember Speel managed about 220 a day when he first arrived :-)

My rate for comparison
236posts/11 months =22 post per month

I'll be at 7035 posts in merely
7035posts/22 ==320 months (26.6 years}! :-o  :-o  :-o

Couldn't we just subject them to a life of grayscale by stapling grey cellophane over their eyes?

I was using a laser level at work the other day, had to wear some red glasses to see the laser, and they turned the whole world greyscale.
It was blooming freaky, like being in an old b&w film :insane:

OK smartie pants, yes you would see red as a colour.
But I was working outside, with a nice blue sky, and green countryside as far as the eye could see, with nothing red.
 Still couldn't see the tiny red dot from the laser though, had to walk along holding a sheet of paper in front to follow the beam :-x

...hang on, I'm a member of a mac forum, and I'm also a mac user,  then again so is Karlos, so macs cannot be the common link as both Karlos and I use macs and cannot correctly perceive red, hmmm, too confusing for this time of the morning.

I think nature is trying to create a race of super beings who create designs using only blue, black and white.

Yup, close enough..

I was gonna put something about the type of people who would buy polished dog poo with an Apple logo on it (probably called the iTurd or something), but then remembered you could easily swap the words 'Apple' and 'Amiga'..

Then I decided against it, figuring it'd be a bit hypocritical seeing as I've been using a shiney new iBook for the last 6 weeks :lol:

Let's face it, that's how they'd avertise it in print.

TV might be another matter..

They'd show you some poor PC owning sod dying of constipation in cubicle A, with its empty paper holder, dingy, flickering light, crap smeared walls and intel inside logo on the back.

Meanwhile, the uber cool mac owner would be happily crapping away in a brilliant white cubicle next door whilst bopping along to his iPod...

Could I have the first shot at Laurence Llewellyn Bowen? I'll trade him for Laurie Turner and Handy Andy.  :destroy:


It'd be good to release all the angst that's built up after working as a set builder/model maker in advertising. I had a pretty good record too, 10 yrs and I never harmed a single stylist (just don't ask about incident that involved an art director and a blow torch  :-P)

Kevlar ? That's a bit too hi-tech for this job.

Just get Handy Andy and Tommy Walsh to build a softwood frame to take 50mm MDF, then the others can join in and decorate it in the usual purple and gold murals, and maybe a throw rug on the ground to soak up the blood.

They'll be so busy showing off their artistic talent, they won't hear the sound of the nail guns being reloaded.. :evilgrin:

oh, come on, Laurence is fun and very witty (especially compared to the jackass's on american TV). My favorite is Oliver (so cute and his rooms are always whimsical.) and Graham makes rooms with incredible class. I'm honestly shocked at how well his projects turn out.

BTW, i have NEVER watched any so-called reality tv shows, so don't bother naming anyone because i won't know what in the heck you are refering to. :-P
