It's the fact that soooo many people do not understand and comprehend root words anymore. Twit(ter). Knowing what a twit is, works out perfectly as most on it are exactly that.


The irony of your statement about people not understand the root of words is fantastic, due to your failure to account for the fact that "twitter" and "twit" do not share a root :lol:

How very dare you! Watching HD content on a 640x480 class screen in glorious monophonic sound (1kHz-8kHz speaker response) is the pinnacle of of home cinema!

No, you're right. It's all horses for courses.


Simple solution: stereo headphones, and hold the screen closer to your face to simulate a 50" screen. Sorted.

OIC. I didn't really interpret that facial expression as sarcastic. :shrug:

Even though I know he's a horrible example of humanity, I idolise House for some reason...

I just keep waiting for him to come out with a blackadder-era-ism...

The closest I saw was when he put on an English accent when he called another doctor :) It's so easy to forget it's him actually; his accent is so convincing and he plays the character so well that it's really weird think that it's the same guy :)

Rowan Atkinson as a patient with Lupus would be the ultimate House episode. I would happily watch it on my cell phone's 1.7" screen.


Just add Stephen Fry as a rival consultant and that would be the best episode ever. And maybe the woman who played Nursie. As a nurse.

That would be pure, uncut win!

Don't forget Tim McInnery as some conniving, ass-kissing specialist that is constantly sucking up to Stephen Fry's consultant character.

Someone should write in and suggest it as a seasonal special for next year.


I bet loads of Bladder/House fans already have ;)

Formatting adds up to more than the sum of its parts. But don't go combining them without knowing what power you're meddling with!

I wasn't offended at all, I was just pulling your leg ;) though in all seriousness, the etymology of "twit" and "twitter" are completely separate :razz:
