The Culture Cup Round x - Adam is a naughty naughty boy

First topic message reminder :

Labour are in where I live. Should probably be the same again but who knows with the amount of numpties in Scotland who have fallen for the line that the SNP is a left-wing progressive party.

Gutentag bitches

G'tag mein Vagabund.

Was machst du so früh am Morgen? Die Sicherungen für die Bomben?

by **ShahenshahG** Mon 18 May 2015, 6:46 am

Ich würde so etwas nicht zu dieser unchristlichen Stunde. Ich bin bei der Arbeit, massiven Konferenz geht so müssen auf meiner besten Verhalten

by **Pal Joey** Mon 18 May 2015, 7:01 am

OK, viel Glück an der Konferenz.

Mein Tag ist vorbei hier ... sehr beschäftigt auch!

by **ShahenshahG** Mon 18 May 2015, 7:07 am

Können wir aufhören mit Google Translate und umgekehrt in einer zivilisierten Zunge?

by **Pal Joey** Mon 18 May 2015, 7:21 am

Sure, no problems.

Watched some of the 7s last night here. Both England and Australia blown away by the USA.
Some real speedsters in that team... proper track athletes who are fast learning how to handle the fatter oval ball.
That Carlin Isles bloke is as quick as phuck. So too that other skinny looking dude... whose name I have already forgotten.

by **ShahenshahG** Mon 18 May 2015, 7:26 am

Surprised it took them so long actually. Theirs is really a problem of participation.

Good enough for a top 30 finish in the US blind golf championships, though

I noticed their coach Mike Friday (bit of a character, yeah?) said they were still "under-resourced".

As soon as they get anymore of them there resources.... we'll be even more under threat from them in the future. Could be the start of some frightening new era. Thought Kenya looked good too and the Canadians have come on a bit as well.

To be honest, Americans aren't too hot generally at sports the rest of the world takes seriously. Rugby is a little different though, especially sevens. Reckon there are enough failed footballers who fancy themselves sneaking an Olympic gold medal

by **seanmichaels** Mon 18 May 2015, 8:07 am

Poor old Cane. Suffering today I expect. Didn't catch the game but I'm sure windows will fill us in when he turns up.

by Adam D Mon 18 May 2015, 9:44 am

Rubbish on here today

by **Galted** Mon 18 May 2015, 9:54 am

Dreadful.

Chin up Galted, premier league football secured for another season.

by **Galted** Mon 18 May 2015, 10:26 am

Yep. Though I did find it more enjoyable moaning about the hammering than revelling in avoiding the drop.

by Adam D Mon 18 May 2015, 10:34 am

Where is Julius today?

I hope he isnt Brian Blessed.

Galted's alive!?

by **seanmichaels** Mon 18 May 2015, 10:40 am

Galted son, do you have any dealings with Blackberry Z10's? Fecker got hot, ran out of battery and now i can't switch it back on.

by **Galted** Mon 18 May 2015, 10:54 am

Sorry michaels. I don't and, even if I did, I wouldn't have a clue what advice to give.

I might be Brian Blessed, since neither of us are dead, are we?

I heard that the battery can be recharged. Just a rumour, I have no evidence to back it up.

by **seanmichaels** Mon 18 May 2015, 11:12 am

jules you are green? does that mean you are a qualified jedi?

the battery won't charge that is the problem. something to do with a fecked software update according to google. Shows how low tech I am. my initial solution was to put it in the freezer for 30 mins and see if it would restart.

by Rowley Mon 18 May 2015, 11:12 am

Jules, you have gone green. Does this mean you have been promoted?

by **JuliusHMarx** Mon 18 May 2015, 11:20 am

Everything's Gone Green, Jeff. Or maybe it's just me.

But if you plug it in using the mains charger, can you switch it on that way (effectively bypass the battery) and fix the software update?

There are no mains sockets inside the freezer, sensible solutions only please Jules.

by **seanmichaels** Mon 18 May 2015, 11:27 am

Unfortunately not. A guy in IT is going to hopefully nick a battery for me. All the management here use blackberry's but i'm not sure it is the same one.

Wise decision. It would only lead to Confusion.

You could have at least saved her some embarrassment by letting her borrow your rubber.

Morning all,

Fist

by Rowley Tue 19 May 2015, 7:31 am

Morning Rick. Must be close to round three of the CC now. Was expecting a PM from Tina as I was last on the list, not sure what the lack of one says about my picks.

by **rIck_dAgless** Tue 19 May 2015, 7:43 am

Morning Jeff, I believe we are, exciting times indeed!

As I am way out of the running I hold not much hope to be honest, but will struggle on in the vain hope of instlling some culture into these people.

Hopefully it will be up today, I am relatively meeting free for once so I can watch as the voting occurs, such drama!

by Adam D Tue 19 May 2015, 8:35 am

If Jeff hasnt nominated No Ordinary Joe, the cup is a farce.

My nominations are erudite, senisble picks all of which would be considered literary classics. As such they will attract zero votes.

by **seanmichaels** Tue 19 May 2015, 9:58 am

I was limited by the choice of books I have read. Had to go back to GCSE English where I had a choice of The Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner, 12 Angry men ot the one that I went for.
