That's only for Protestants. Catholics don't get booze. At mass. Trust me. I know what I'm talking about. I was raised not directly in, but around, this stuff. Catholicisim isn't a flavour of Protestantism. Only Catholics celebrate mass. Protestants call it something else.

It's where everyone goes into the church and sits down, and then the priest stands up and says some stuff, and then everybody in the church repeats bits of it back to him in unison, and there's a lot of sitting down and standing up and kneeling on the little kneely-cushion-thing at various...

Spoilers! :( Moonrise Kingdom 9/10 If you like the whimsy, random, unrealistic aspects to Wes Anderson's other films, you would like this. It's basically Rushmore meets Fantastic Mr Fox, with extra what-just-happened. There was really nothing I didn't like about this actually. I think I...

The bits of outer space that I look at are so far away that the light coming to me from them left long before God was invented. So I really wouldn't be an expert on that bit of science. I am, however, apparently qualified to tell you your horoscope. Tell me which arbitrary assembly of stellar...

Now everybody who knows me is all like "so you're a physicist, I bet you're all excited about the God Particle" and then they proceed to expect me to know things about the Higgs Boson and ask me questions about it and tell me what they read on the BBC, but I know nothing about the Higgs Boson...

Meh. It's either history in the making, or a bird pooped on their equipment. I won't be getting my hopes up about this until they go downstairs to the LHC and double-check for bird poop. Then maybe I'll truly believe them. But until then, they're still the shower of clowns who started mass...

Oooooh. I like Berlin. And I like detective stories. *Puts on list* I'm reading Dead Souls by Gogol at the moment. I'm only about a fifth of the way through, but my god, it's hilarious. I've already recommended it to everybody I know. If there was one all-time...

Apology accepted, Mr Snarkyboots :)

Heh, it just irritates me when people make assumptions about me, that's all. I know this is what you are like :) As for me, I overreact, in general. To everything.

Excuse me please. How do you possibly know enough to make such a sweeping statement? I actually did read a bunch of reviews. I also spoke to people who owned them, and I went into the shop and tried them out, not only for one piece of music, but for a cross section of pieces from the various...

Actually, the way these are put together really suits me...you can kind of fold them back in on themselves, making them easier to carry around when you're not listening to them. And the cable is coated in a kind of fabric thing, which is fantastic, because the main reason my earphones used to...

I considered both appearance and sound quality when I bought these. I mean, the main reason I bought them was because the sound out of them is better than the sound out of the little tiny ones that go in your ear, but obviously I also wanted to wear something I liked the look of. I tried them...

Heh yeah usually I try to tuck it in behind my ears before I put on the headphones. But it's unruly and it doesn't always do what I say (there's also the advantage of the headphones slightly holding my hair in place, thus making me look less ridiculous when I go outside in the wind, which is...

I don't know!!! This is just what people said to me when I bought them :( I don't understand it either.

Yes they are nice aren't they? I don't know. I bought them unwittingly, thinking only about sound quality and not damaging my ears as much, and then all my friends accused me of being a hipster. I don't care. They're super.

I know I've now crossed the line into full hipsterdom, but I don't care. The sound out of these is terrific. I listen to a lot of instrumental music and it sounds much richer coming from these than it does from any set of earphones I've ever owned. And they don't fall off like earphones do. And...

Silly people who are all like "I love Oreos but I won't be buying them anymore because of this". Some things in life are far more important than politics. Like delicious milky cream surrounded by yummy crispy chocolate-like biscuit stuff. Also, those people are full of shit. One time, I tried...

The smell of this particular brand of suncream reminds me of when I went to visit Dachau concentration camp. I can't use it now without getting a headache. The smell of a new musical instrument reminds me of a beautiful view of Cork city. There's a certain smell of .... I don't know what it...

Pedanticism of the day: You're all abbreviating Riomhaire to Riom. It sounds odd. Riomhaire abbreviates to Riov. That's my tuppenceworth on the matter. I don't know enough about piracy and copyright law in the US to offer an opinion on that, as I am neither a lawyer nor an American nor a...

Here's mine. http://lambentstew.com/webblog/miniproject/steamanalysis?profileid=76561198013721338 I only bought Toki Tori because of the potato thing.
