Another new Brindle joined us last week, both to be our house artist and to write about how Metal Gear Solid's strengths are those of Pac-Man, and why the former game became weaker when it moved too far away from the latter one. Bunbury Brindle (for it is he) is also formerly known on this site...
I might have been related to this guy, as I am a MacQuarrie, and we may therefore share a common ancestry with some axe-swinging tartan-clad fifteenth century Scots badass. RIP.
The legal case didn't fall apart because of "bumbling" but because the government, police and federal agencies committed massive civil rights violations. They too were displaying "complete disregard for legal process and the US constitution" - the first amendment, the fourth, the sixth if you...
You blame them? This was a time in which the government and the forces defending it were assassinating people. It was shooting protesters and shooting activists (and more). It was drafting citizens into a mad foreign war that had no justification. It was illegally harassing, spying on and...
...huh? The only death attributable to the mainstream WUO was one of their own members who was crap at making bombs. They gave evacuation warnings before bombings and did their utmost not to kill. You think now, when they've come over all establishment and have legitimate(d) lives in public...
I don't think this is a completely unreasonable thing to say - yeah, university isn't for everyone, and in my opinion should be - but I may be coming at this from a specifically UK perspective. Here, New Labour's policy to get 50% of the country going to university has led to a lot of...
"Sir, you may not like it, but I did what I had to do in the situation as I perceived it. The guy was being reasonable, I was being reasonable, everyone was reasonable. I took that decision! Would you?"
"God damnit, Bob, you are way out of line! You're a loose cannon! I've got Wal-Mart up my...
Yeah, we were all so excited to watch twenty shitting minutes of obviously dim Christian warblings intercut with the slurred, mind-numbing drawl of an equally dim swivel-eyed troglodyte whose slobbish humour is about as funny as diarrhea (coincidentally the best comparison for the colour of his...

Happily, your visit coincides with my holidays. I am free from the 23rd March to the 1st April, from the 2nd to the 14th April will limits (I'll be doing work experience), then until 23rd April. I live in Lewisham, South-East London, and my house is available for lodging. On Thursdays to...
I think it's best I announce a strict rule: only post pictures of cats that belong to you.
Unless they're really adorable.
No, wait, it's a slippery slope - !!
Once I thought I might try and write a sci-fi novel. In its dystopian universe, everyone paid using traceable electronic charges and the use of cash was considered next to criminal, with many vendors refusing to accept such payment. This is just one of the several hundred things that mean I...
Yeah, I agree. In many ways I could get behind the feeling that motivated the London riots last year (in b4 "criminality pure and simple blah blah"), but, like, dudes, there's sod-all point in destroying your own neighbourhoods and trashing local businesses. They are not your problem. Hell, they...
