2. Are we nearly there?
at that time, I was fiddling with my fusebox, lol etc, after my modem exploded in the middle of the night. Suspected cause? A can of beer precariously balanced at the end of my bed made the journey to the underneath of my desk, and released it's fury. That means, UT2004 fans, that I'm out of action for a while (for ever if my whole computer is fucked).

Half of them wouldnt understand that was an insult...

Thats a shame mate - look if you need a new (ADSL) modem I have a spare should you so require I can send you. Else any other components that may be fried, let me know and maybe I can have a scout around at home to see what I have.

the only conclusion that can be drawn is that there are multiple 'move down twats' on the Victoria line at any one time. I have probably been one at some stage.
Transport-related People Who Let Me Down = those walking behind me with sharp-cornered bags, who tut when they hit me in the back of the knee, causing me to stumble like a spazmo. Those who repeatedly try their ticket, despite 'seek assistance' coming up, causing a backlog the length of Kings Cross concourse and causing multiple deaths.

It'd never work here, I tend to lock threads at the 700 posts or so mark.. Last Friday was a long thread though. Counting backwards from 10,000 just smacks of boredom doesn't it ?
I feel mostly let down by humanity every time I hear from someone whose only reason for calling me is either to borrow money or get their computer fixed especially when those are the only times they call me.
Fair-weather friends suck.

It's a cable modem. I'll probably pick one up on ebay, but more pressing is that the main fuse for all my sockets is now knackered, so I'm going to be spending the week without any kind of entertainment/cooking/ironing facilities. I've no idea where to buy such a thing. It's a beige box with a switch in it, that plugs into the main board, but the rating has rubbed off, so I don't know what to buy. And my neighbour hates me after I confronted him about his inability to flush the toilet, so I doubt he'll let me have a look at his box.

Which brings me to a great conversation I had with Thorn and Octavia at the weekend. Thorn remarked that "it was time the human race was brought to a close".
That phrase has been ringing in my ears ever since.

If it's any help, I found out that about 75% of the jokes he used at high school were taken from the Smith and Jones book

[self pity] Cheers Dazzler, but I'm planning on just wrapping myself in a duvet and gently rocking to try and put myself into a healing trance. I've kind of reached the end of the line with dealing with problems like this, so I'm just going to leave it, and try to lose my mind. Although, if I can sort out this loan, then I can pay my rent up, and get a man in. But, alas, I'm not exactly credit-friendly. I've lived without running water for a couple of months now, but the image of Louise carrying a bucket of hot water from the shower so she can washup a bowl for breakfast was heartbreaking, and prepped me for my upcoming transition from sane and bothered to mad and peaceful.[/self pity]

Amen to that! Thankfully the real friends make life the wonderful thing it is.

The other 25% were from Christmas cash in book The A to Z of Behaving Badly. Actually now I think about that, one of the jokes in that was about how to amuse yourself at family gatherings, and went
"Talk your shy younger brother into doing his Michael Jackson impression, then stop him half way through saying 'I'm sorry everyone, this is just embarrassing'"
which is obviously the joke I was trying with Pearlie, earlier. The truth is I'm not that funny, I've just got a good memory.

My God. If I said a couple of years back people here would be counting back from 10,000 on a forum thread for fun, I'd be on Fifichan's `shit list' quicker than you can see `Romano eunt domus'.
I'd like to nominate this for the `Alphabet Thread' 2005 award.

But the idea in the title of the thread isn't the idea of the thread itself - the thread's actually about stupid people and the stupid things stupid people do.

Do you remember when we had annual awards on TMO? And thorn won best newcomer for two years in a row? That was when TMO meant something. Now, we count down from 10,000.
