I'm watching The World Is Not Enough. Pierce Brosnan is an excellent Bond, but I can't help being annoyed when he says 'Nucular'. It only makes in worse when the lovely Denise Richards, of the United States, says Nuclear, with no Dubya-esque inflection, immediately afterwards. Stop showing us up, you Irish twunt!
I've just got back from GJs, where Harry Hill has been entertaining us. Douglas Adams once said how frustrated he found himself when watching a standup say 'You know the black box recorder that always survives an air-crash? Well, why don't they make the whole plane out of what they make the recorder out of?'. He thought, no, the plane would never fly, titanium is too heavy. And he was watching a room full of people laughing at someone because they knew less than that person. Harry Hill said something about how the digital age would progress further when the people writing binary learned the other numbers.
I really like the joke about there being 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't. Because you need to know something to find it funny. You didn't need to know anything to find Harry Hill funny. But like the first comic of the evening said, no one likes someone who indulges in pedanticness. (It's pedantry, you dumb fuck!).
This blog will swear less tomorrow.
