It was a generalisation, but I think that he's pretty much on the money.
As an aside, Guinness doesn't travel particularly well (IMHO). There are also several grades of the stuff. They developed an "extra cold" variant a few years ago to make it more appealing when it is served in places where they don't keep it properly.
The President of my company has said that he wants to eventually see the day when a person can walk into the theater, watch a film and on the way out buy the DVD. This could, and probably will happen, but it would likely be a domestic only 5.1 and/or Lt/Rt with little or no extras.
People are already doing this with pirate copies.
Last time I went to the cinema, there was someone a minute down the road with his DVD warez neatly laid out on the pavement.
What about a matrix with a password for each day of the week, and some software to change the password automatically at midnight?
So, you could have a chart of :
SMTWTFS
s8vjsmv
8fjslva
g8sjfj3
e7jacds
d8gjsjq
o8w73fd
So, Thursday would be 'slfcs3'.
Of course, you still have the problem of losing physical access to the chart.
Better still, generate a random monthly chart for each employee. Configure your software to prompt for new passwords monthly, and tell them to use the chart as a prefix to the preferred password.

Employees would use the chart to spice their chosen password.
"2s8mydogwoofy" would be harder to crack than "mydogwoofy".
....And eat some curries my friend! Nothing better than getting pissed up on lager and guzzeling a really hot curry; of course when drunk theres always Kebabs, but I reckon Shwarmas are better as they have all the greatness of kebabs but without spilling it everywhere... Of course there are loads of Italian places to eat too, theres such a wide variety of food available (including of course the tradition english cafe for a fat fry up!)
With that post, I think we've lost the right to call anyone else overweight..:-)
Enjoyed your post, but I had to grin when I imagined what it would be like to wander to my nearby club shop and ask for this season's "football uniform" !

Ya, and when I'm out in public I'm only going to wear my asbestos overcoat.
Public health risk?
Oh please, deal with it..
Perhaps the judge will add personal damages, as he now has to read both books....
:-\
Uh, and in the "novel" (IIRC), that character scoffs at a work which bears striking similarities to Baigent and Leigh's.
:-)
Combined with the partial anagram, that was probably enough to annoy them...
I think that's where the night vision goggles come in...

You can stop terrorists. Don't give them a good enough reason to attack you.
So what exactly did the people of Bali do?
I agree completely.
Anyone who routinely uses the brake on the motorway/freeway is not a competent driver.
Radio users have to pay their license fee, but its less, like black and white tv's.
That's untrue. "Radio only" licences were abolished in February 1971.
If you own a radio and not a TV, you are not obliged to pay a B&W license fee.
Ah, I see you have constructed a new EtherKiller.
Your skills are complete.
Indeed, you are powerful...

How's the studio going to undercut this guy?
Man, since when did Slashdot starting posting ridiculous reviews from Joe Schmoe off the street?
Uh.... well... we've always been able to post comments.... ?

I like that idea...

Interesting, given that a new Guinness World Record has just been set by a guy using the new Treo 650.
I think the previous record was held by a thumbstabber on a traditional phone keypad.
Plagiarist!

Can't remember who's quote it was, but we are a nation known for religious tolerance, our sense of fair play, binge drinking, and violence. :-)
This series of Little Britain has been the same jokes over and over again.
True, but I think you'll find I am the only Slashdot poster in this village, thank you very much...
We officially live in (wait for it..) Her Majesty's United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
England, Wales, Scotland : Great Britain plus UK
Northern Ireland : UK
Eire : Eire.
Okaaay.....
Me : Are you Welsh?
Me : Yes.
Me : Are you British?
Me : Yes.
Any good?
Luxury.
See you in Cashconverters...
heh, I thought they used euros in the uk
Yet another well travelled American.
Well I never.
You can do all that stuff with digital postprocessing.
And my Pod XT(much as I love it) sounds every bit as good as a vintage amp miked up. Er, no.
Ah, the inevitable outsourcing to India flame on Slashdot... :-)
Construction jobs cannot be outsourced. Maybe we'll all end up surviving by remodeling each other's houses.
Here in London, many many people hire those without permanent UK residence for building work.
What's the definition of "outsourced"?
