what?

someone please shed some light on what they are talking about :/

It's a parody based on the Star Trek "Ferengi" species, who are a race obsessed with business. It controls every part of their life and even takes priority over family.

They feature heavily in Deep Space Nine, and a little in Voyager and Next Generation too. Also in a couple of Enterprise episodes.

They follow a guideline (although it's more of a way of life for most) called "The Rules Of Acquisition", featuring such rules as "Once you have their money, you never give it back", "Never place friendship above profit", "Treat people in your debt like family. Exploit them" and "Never have sex with the boss's sister". There's supposed to be 285 rules, but all of that are not known.

Disclaimer: Gary is not a Trekkie.


Are you a Gater?

Nope. Nor a crocodile :p. I lost track after season four and haven't caught up yet. I'm currently finishing Enterprise and working my way through the new Battlestar Galactica. Which I'm guessing makes me a Batty

I like an escalator because an escalator can never break, it can only become stairs. There would never be an "Escalator temporarily out of order" sign, only an "Escalator temporarily stairs. Sorry for the convenience."

One in 50 isn't so bad.It could be a lot worse.I'm the worst kind of city kid (although i know eggs come from chickens) and have no idea how people function in the countryside without Oyster cards to take them places.
I once thought that strawberry cow milk could naturally happen if I fed a cow loads of strawberries. My AS biology class laughed at my attempt to revolutionise cow milk but I read in the Metro a couple of weeks ago that by feeding a cow orange carrots, the milk went orangey so the farmer had to feed it white ones from France, so maybe my strawberry milk idea could work.Also, if breastmilk from women has all the good stuff the mothers eat in, then surely, the same thing works with cows. It'd work, dammit.

Woman ‘tricked into sex’ by penis cream treatment

So, basically, a guy tricked a lady into having sex with him by saying that he just wanted to use his penis to administer an ointment.

"It began to dawn on her that he had devised this treatment in order to have sex with her on his terms." ...after NINE MONTHS!

On another note, I wonder how many people will try and take up residence in it?

"Last night my computer started making a lotof hissing noise at me so I shut it down. This morning when I turned it on the computer started hissing and cracking,then started smoking and a bad smell, then nothing".
"I will have a technician come over first thing this morning, just leave the computer just like it is, so they can find the problem and fix it, or change it out with another computer. Give me your address; phone number and the technician will be there just as soon as they can".

...So, what was wrong with the computer?
Why not ask this guy?

It didn't say if the snake was harmed, but it doesn't look too bad.

It's probably a very old article, I just got it from an annoying forward-emailthing that I actually bothered reading because they'd deleted the "Fwd:" from the title. Clever b*st*rds.

Strangely, the Sky player says the video is 1.61 long. Yeah, clever.
Anyway, they should be getting off Windows Movie Maker and have a read of How Not To Leave Your Young Children At Home Without Anyone Else Around.

I can't believe how long it took me to figure out why the length was something to remark upon.

I posted a letter, and it got there in less than twenty four hours.

Since when does this happen, ever?!?!?!?

Quite often for me - most times I post a letter with the last post at half four first class and it'll arrive the next morning. So a good six hours shy of twenty four.

My luck with parcels is crap though

Nope! She gave me £1.03 change from £1.05. It was supposed to cost 92p, so to confuse her, I paid with £1.05 and got money back! Woooooooo!

It made sense at the time.

Dude. Respect.
I love doing that ^^

That is ace. I'm good at the reverse and putting money into my til float at the end of the day.

I keep a running tab of my float, and help myself to the difference some days

There are builders here who have been working solidly since about ten o' clock, without once asking for a cup of tea. Or having a break for anything.

We have super-human builders.


They don't ask! You go out and say HEY WHO WANTS TEA?

I bet they're dead now. I hope you're sorry.

I googled my name like a year or 2 ago and found out that amongst other things the lead singer of a 70's punk bad called raped had my name.

but what freaked me out were all these references to rape but not the band, so i look at a result, some forum spammer was posting comments that were just hundreds of links to rape sites and and along with some random words in the middle was my name. F*cking freaked me out.
