  • The kids are our deciding factor.

    If one of us going somewhere with the little 'uns, then the “family car” with the nicer booster seats gets taken by whoever it is that has them. Whoever is getting the peace and quiet, drives the little runabout.

    I usually take the little car, and it surprises me sometimes when I jump into the family car and I’ve got another 50bhp under my right foot.









  • Man I’d love to be able to do that and give cats a good run-in for their twilight years but I don’t think I could - partly because one of the household is allergic to cats; but mainly I don’t think I could deal with the repeated emotional devastation of having to let them go at a much higher rate than a “normal” pet owner.

    Fair play to those that do. Pretty ballsy.




  • Purely a subjective opinion (and I apologise if the artist shows up in this thread) but is it me or does it look like the person who made the background took a step back after it was done, marvelled at how pretty it was, and enjoyed the moment before thinking “…fuck I forgot about O’Brien”?

    It’s a great bit of artwork but poor Miles looks like an afterthought!


  • I used to love the print Indy. It was a fantastic paper, and the Sunday edition was genuinely a great read in itself with brilliant contributors.

    Ever since the print edition ceased (some may point to the launch of i as the turning point but I’m not entirely sure that’s fair) the entire operation has been turned into an ad farm masquerading as a news site.

    It’s a cross between a tabloid and the Million Dollar Homepage nowadays, and what a shame that is. At least it keeps browser “close tab” UI devs in business mind.
