Lloyd was featured in Retro Gamer. That was the first time I saw his creators admit he wasn't real, in the past they'd always been evasive about it.

Anyone who groups sets of people they don't agree with & uses the term "brigade" as if it some way cheapens their opinion.

People who do that tend to be part of the "totally annoying bellend brigade".

Reporting of whats going on in Syria. Never heard so much bullshit on the news in all my life, its shocking how much we are being lied to. Its amazing what people will believe as gospel what the free Syrian army are saying with no independant verification. It makes me laugh when everyone has a go at Russia for veoting resolutions against Syria, how many times has the US vetoed resolutions against Israel when they have massacred people? (Answer alot more).

^Its also amazing what people believe when they read some website and believe everything there as gospel. I think most people realise what the news is like and dont believe every single thing they hear, yet on the other hand i wouldnt believe everything i read on certain websites (But people laughingly do)

Well the BBC you can't trust or take seriously. Yesterday they used the HALO UNSC symbol instead of the UN one on a news report by mistake and now have been caught out using 2003 Iraq war pictures saying that they were from that massacre on Sunday.

End of the day people believe what they believe. For me the whole thing in Syria is another case of regime change cooked up by the CIA, MI6 and Mossad. Spread chaos in the region destablise Syria, Lebanon and with a bit of luck get friendly regimes in then onto the main event of regime change in Iran which looses its two main allies if the above happnes.

New phones. Trying to help my sister import some music from her old Samsung Tocco Lite to her new Galaxy Ace and...what a ball ache. The old phone played WMA files so copy-pasting music from the computer onto the phone was easy but a newer phone doesn't support WMA.

Having to copy everything from the old phone onto the computer, convert it all to MP3 format via itunes (which is taking forever) then paste it all back onto the memory card before putting the card into the new phone :|

It would help if the new phone came with installation software but when there aren't even any instructions I don't know what I was expecting. Tried downloading the 'Kies' installation stuff from Samsung but it utterly failed to work on my PC (a Windows error box came up with a load of text in gibberish shapes/symbols format then nothing happened) so now it's doing things the long way.

It was nice when phones came with hefty manuals that told you everything. Now you have to download manuals offline which I can understand when it comes to saving paper but it means I have no quick reference guide if I want to know how to do something. Can't be bothered to keep turning the PC on to find stuff out so screw it.

You can tell that I like my old mobile phones huh? :lol:
