I resent that accusation...

Hope it's the best dirt you've ever bought!
I'm pretty sure it's the only dirt I've ever bought. It's an entire truckload (270 cubic feet) of compost mixed with sand. I'm splitting it with a neighbor and we're going to sprinkle it on our lawns. I'll add the remainder to my vegetable garden.
Quote: PhQnix @ March 18 2010, 12:01 PM GMTIt's the cases, not the CDs. But I never listen to music on CD, so all of my CDs could be broken as far as I'm aware. I buy them purely for display purposes and to support the artists, so it sucks a bit that they are broken.
I have heaps of spare jewel cases here. Which you are welcome to have.
Computer magazines used to put their cover disks in jewel cases and I had no room to store them in that form (I used Zipped bags of 400 discs, or just stack them in cake-box cylinders).
I gave a huge batch of jewel cases to a charity shop, but I'm pretty sure that I still have lots up in my attic.
Quote: AndreaLynne @ March 18 2010, 4:53 PM GMTYep, loading the kids in the car for school and I see this very blocky woman in a floral sundress practically falling out of a tiny car and see that it is actually a man in a bright red wig. A large black man in skin tight leather pants and very red lipstick got out of the other side. You can bet the car ride with the kids was very interesting.
How DO you explain that to your kids??

"Some people like Halloween so much they celebrate it all year long!"
Wow (and sort of related to Aaron's posts about the music/movie biz.)
From the official YouTube blog:
For years, Viacom continuously and secretly uploaded its content to YouTube, even while publicly complaining about its presence there. It hired no fewer than 18 different marketing agencies to upload its content to the site. It deliberately "roughed up" the videos to make them look stolen or leaked. It opened YouTube accounts using phony email addresses. It even sent employees to Kinko's to upload clips from computers that couldn't be traced to Viacom. And in an effort to promote its own shows, as a matter of company policy Viacom routinely left up clips from shows that had been uploaded to YouTube by ordinary users. Executives as high up as the president of Comedy Central and the head of MTV Networks felt "very strongly" that clips from shows like The Daily Show and The Colbert Report should remain on YouTube.
Viacom's efforts to disguise its promotional use of YouTube worked so well that even its own employees could not keep track of everything it was posting or leaving up on the site. As a result, on countless occasions Viacom demanded the removal of clips that it had uploaded to YouTube, only to return later to sheepishly ask for their reinstatement. In fact, some of the very clips that Viacom is suing us over were actually uploaded by Viacom itself.
Given Viacom's own actions, there is no way YouTube could ever have known which Viacom content was and was not authorized to be on the site. But Viacom thinks YouTube should somehow have figured it out. The legal rule that Viacom seeks would require YouTube -- and every Web platform -- to investigate and police all content users upload, and would subject those web sites to crushing liability if they get it wrong.

Robyn is watching the news, and can't believe it's only just being publically said that the Student Loans Company are incompetent.
I went to do mine last night. Apparently I have to know for certain if I will be living on my own or with my parents, so I guess I have to get that sorted.

Oh, you're so topical, Robyn! Maybe you should start a sketch based revue at your uni, yes?
Chip just got an electric shock off a very attractive young lady in Superdrug. He doesn't think it will lead to anything.
Ellie is pretty happy after getting laid three times in the last 12 hours.
