Yeah, but UD is like wikipedia; any imbecile can post an entry. Only far fewer folks bother to review and fact-check it.

I promise you, we did lots of reality checking back in the day; they were pretty much all original memes created by the writers of Farscape. Snurch is one that we researched especially hard; we just couldn't believe there wasn't preexisting slang meaning for it, but there simply wasn't. We spent many evenings on the Farscape and Dominion chats geeking out over these things to the nth degree.

I realize that life moves on, and English is a living language, etc... but for me and a few million of my closest friends, all those memes are posers... stealing what is rightfully OURS. Farscape's use of the word is "the original Slim Shady". ;)

Edit: At least you can cook, me? I could burn anything in the kitchen.  :-DD

Instead of torching the kitchen, I prefer to kill my victims via atherosclerosis. Extra bacon, because bacon:

Whenever guys talk about bacon, I can't help thinking about this classic ad from my youth... because, no matter how excited they are talking about bacon, there's no way they can understand that THIS is how I REALLY AM about bacon!!! 110% of the time!

That begs the question: if it’s not bacon, what is it and how did they make it look like bacon.

On the matter of TEA, I hope the hell hermes isn’t delivering my voltmeter. Our usual Hermes guy is going mental.

Specmaster:
Just come across this rather interesting video of a retired electronics engineer being interviewed and he says that the company he worked stopped training apprentices in the 80's which is what I have always said was mainly due to government driven pressure, and when we started exporting our skilled jobs out overseas in the name of greater corporate profits and manufacturing industrial parks slowly become retail parks. You members in the London area may remember the large site at Ponders End which which have the old Creda and Belling factory at the junction of Southbury Road and Great Cambridge Road (A10) along with many other manufacturers, it is now one of the large retail sites with PC World/Currys, Dunelm etc on it. That was the beginning of our shortage of skilled labour which is something that still exists today.

This is not a politics bashing post but an observation and that was the time when the decline and rot in this countries once great and proud heritage started to be leached away in the great "brain drain" and we have never recovered from that. People around the world would once buy British products if they could because it was a given that we made the best products. That torch is now carried on only by a few elite companies like Aim TTi Ltd.

I know round there quite well. Horrible shit hole now but used to be quite respectable.

The problem we have here is there hasn’t been a good war for a while. That drives manufacturing and gets rid of the chaff ;)
