About bloody time!

Mid March and we're only up to the third instalment of the year.... I shall be writing to ask for my money back.

Interesting

...on the Avon and Somerset version you get a little warning saying "Internet Explorer may perform slowly with crime statistic, it is recommended that you Firefox or Chrome.

Pacman?

The chart looks like one on purpose?

Encouragement?

Anyone want to bet against them coming up with some kind of bribe for anyone leading the charge for cards?

Maybe a free second identity?

Terminology

Can I just check something please. Presumably "full counter-surveillance lock-down mode" involves going to the pub and staying there?

"Naughty things merchant"?

Did the lude-o-generator pack up or something?

IT angle?

Strange. I don't remember seeing many "Where's the IT angle?" comments re the resurrection of HHGTTG.

I wonder why that would be?

Proof positive

...that the messing about with those big hadron things has transported us to a new reality.

Not bad but...

My favourite is a guy I worked with for a while who was called James Timoney. He did, of course, prefer the name Jim.

I have to admit to humming the tune mercilessly.

Politics

So who's the biggest bunch of arseholes... the government of Burma or Zimbabwe?

Prize?

Is there a prize for the first person to get stars to align to say "Bollocks"?

It could have been a cunning ploy

Can't believe nobody else has posted this yet....

That old man's a killer!

I still don't know...

...whether that extreme lesbian site at www.theregister.co.uk is going to be legal or not.

Revenge....

Simple. In the next 'extreme porn' story just refer to the Indy as a "specialist donkey-fetish magazine"

@vincent himpe

...doesn't really matter if they're hiring people to figure the things out.

Guys, you need to get out more

Reg hacks aroused by graphs? ....oooh... would you look at the segments on that.... hubba hubba

...there's more

There are a bunch of these on YouTube. My favourite is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8nh7gm4jj6c but that's probably because I'm a West Ham fan.

Genius.

Surely the answer is obvious....

....massive increases in budgets for IS projects.

Love it

... reminds me of when they did the same thing to SQL Enterprise Manager when we were trialling it last year. I do seem to recall shouting at them something along the lines of "....and what if it does the same thing to explore.exe?" Glad to see that they're learning by their mistakes.

Clarkson

Could I just point out that I'd prefer to gnaw off my own arm from the elbow down than receive anything by Mr Clarkson. Except a copy of his suicide note.

Do we need a unit of laziness...

...for those who find the effort of typing a couple of words in the 'Search' box a bit too much?

But....

...what should Santa say if, in best Xmas tradition, three prostitutues turn up?
