Yes. Snakles are snakes ankles, which they obviously don't have.

A Clockwork Orange
Jackie Brown

Looking back for this Omen -

Looking = Finding & back / Omen = Nemo

Finding Nemo

Kaboom.

Cheat.

A preposterous accusation.

3 - Hamlet... a coworker helped, but it counts, right?

Lethal Weapon

Well done chaps - I think that knowledge was the winner.

No-one goes to that length to explain it.

I thought I'd be accused of cheating if I just googled it and blurted it out (Reservoir Dogs) so I showed my workings.

You keep telling yourself that.

I'm not angry, just disappointed.  Always assumed you were a little more secure than that.

Yeah because Reservoir Dogs was as difficult as Finding Nemo wasn't it?  Buffoon.

Looking Finding back Omen Nemo, not difficult at all.

Too difficult for you, obviously, but then you are clearly a cretin.

Not when you've cheated, no.

You're just angry that I busted you.

I understand that. Have a lovely weekend, flower.

You accused me yesterday of siding with anyone as long as it meant I could oppose you. I am now going to disprove that theory. Union is a cheat.

I'm not angry dear, I just feel a bit let down that you feel it necessary to lash out at those more intelligent than yourself with accusations of cheatery. It has left a bitter taste, and spoiled somewhat what was only supposed to be a piece of fun for a Friday.

That's beautiful.

I accept your apology.

Accepted.

Is it 'Gnikool Sign'?

Looking spelt backward is gnikool and an omen is a sign.
I didn't google that, I worked it out myself.

It's an early Will Ferrell film, I think.

OK, I give up. What does that mean?

It should be read backwards.

Hah

Watched a CNN news round up today. It was quite funny. Two reporters at the Gaza strip, and the one in Israel is dressed in a Hawaiian shirt, while the one the Palestine was in Kevlar body armour. Quite humorous.

Not humorous at all really. Sums up the situation though. And the world stands idly by.

Really gave Gerry a serve on the SA-SL thread.
He's so easy to wind up. Hit a soft spot!   

Sorry to draw you in, Raf. Collateral damage, mate.

Probably worded that wrong. But I didn't want to sound like a tinfoil hat. I meant the fact that the media and world leaders continue to run a "Save Israel" line when there is such a disparity in carnage is humorous.

Must be honest LB, Given the difference in time zones, I thought you were drunk.

Have to side with Union on this - the Finding Nemo one wasn't all that difficult. As soon as you see looking backwards in a crossword clue it's pretty much guaranteed that your supposed to read the object word backwards. Not may other films with Nemo in the title so a fairly safe bet to go for Finding Nemo even if you ignore the rest of the clue.

Whatever.

It was fun winding Union up whether he cheated or not.

I was really wound up too, still recovering.

No, I'm Gary Sobers this evening.

Union Cane wrote:I was really wound up too, still recovering.

I still love you, Union.

Mind the windups, Union.

I'm still wound up by Julius saying I get into meaningless relationships as a stop-gap until the divorce comes through.

If it's not true, there's no need to be wound up.
If it is true, then it's useful food for thought and may be beneficial in the long-term.
That's how thoughtful and considerate I am toward all my 606v2 buddies.

That's why you're my favourite poster of all time.

I hope I am just like you when I grow up.

Night all. Lovely weekend to everyone.

Cheerio, Dimwit.

Yeah I'm off too. Enjoy your weekends. Good luck on the course Union, I'm playing next weekend in a charity event.

Bog off Julius.

kingraf wrote:Morning lads. Especially good one today, as its my birthday.

Happy birthday, kingraf. I used to be 20.

JuliusHMarx wrote:Sounds like you'll be going through a series of tragically meaningless stop-gap relationships, whilst desperately hoping in vain that the one true love of your life will get divorced one day.
Did I say 'Happy Birthday' yet? Enjoy!

Sounds like Love In The Time Of Cholera which, coincidentally, I'm currently reading.

That hurts!

Sorry superfly, but life is fickle and to quote Janet Jackson "what have you done for me lately?"

I thought about responding to your request for info on London.  I couldn't be bothered actually responding but it's the thought that counts.  

I do feel a bit bad now for Galted. There was an offer on groupon yesterday we quite fancied so it now looks like we might not be going to London. Galted's considerable effort may have been to waste. If we could all avoid mentioning this to him it would be much appreciated.

That's ok, Jeff, I also offer extensive advice on the following places: Utrecht, Corfu, Copenhagen, Dublin, Brussels, Bath, Paris, the Lowveld and Strasbourg.

By "that's ok, Jeff" I really mean "f*ck you, Jeff!  F*ck you, you ungrateful c*nt!  I spent ages working on my London guide!  F*cking ages!  You won't find the bits about pretending to drive the DLR or entering the NHM via Exhibition Street in the guide books.  I hope you book your groupon deal and get a flight on Malaysian airlines.  Groupon!  F*cking groupon!  For f*ck's sake."

Shoes a bit tight Galted?

Nope, just tired after losing many hours of sleep compiling Jeff's guide to London. F*cking groupon.
