40-something my arse! He was at least late twenties when Spaced came out.

I feel attacked.

How about don’t go there in the first place?

I’ve also not taken work because of this, so it cuts both ways.

I didn’t have “Reverse Marshall Plan” on my 21st Century bingo card, but here we are.

They’re talking about cops in Cambodia, obviously.

Technically correct, as the request processed successfully and returned the outcome. TBH this is just one reason why HTTP is a bad RPC medium; for some reason we keep reinventing SOAP even though no-one liked it the first time around.

I work in software/IT and going for a pint on Friday lunch is pretty common.

Things are only real if they’re happening in America.

True, though both of those industries also use a hype cycle to try and shift new content at much higher prices, though every book and CD that ever existed is probably in a second-hand shop somewhere.

New games have very little offer me, apart from higher specs I’d have to upgrade for. Just played through Prey and the two Dishonoreds, and they’re good but still just revamps of System Shock 2 and Thief, so I don’t regret not paying them at the time. The really groundbreaking games nowadays tend to be indie anyway.

In the UK people will definitely have a pint on a Friday lunchtime. Sometimes two in my experience. I haven’t seen it as much in Oz but it’s definitely a thing here.

Olives and peppers are also fine. It’s just pineapple that’s as bad as putting a picture of the Pope in your toilet.

Network effect. Next question.
