Martin Amis once pointed out the solecism of Dickens' 'Our Mutual Friend'. You could equally well say 'Our Friend', and the mutuality doesn't need pointing out - it's implicit.
but on a hitler programme i watched the other day it said the germans fed all the tank drivers amphetamines when they invaded france so they wouldnt go to sleep for 5 days. they had to get there quickly or sutin while they were confusing the allies in belgium.
she showed me when we shared a bottle of pinot noir. It was a screw cap though and she knew that so I think she just wanted an excuse to whip it out. I also screwed her whilst wearing a cap.
Please consider the idea of using poorly-made, slippery tank tracks instead of strong, athletic legs in your future population-slaying creations, with a view to my grandchildren being able fling rocks at their "heads" (or control terminals) having been driven to cowering in the tops of trees by their remorseless march through the towns and cities of the United Kingdom.
As a back-up, I believe we would all sleep just a little easier should you also make them sensitive to sparking uncontrollably should a jug of water be poured on them, possibly from the aforementioned trees. Also, I'm led to believe there's something called a "killswitch" that could be a fine addition to your range of unstoppable murderous robots.
The fact that The Cambridge Project for Existential Risk is a thing
has made my day.
They're developing a game for tabletop generals who spend time
wondering whether it's all worth it.
stop jagging!
The scientists said that to dismiss concerns of a potential robot uprising would be "dangerous".
haha
About time!

Lord Rees is a personal friend of mine.
My favourite thing about him is how he never stops smiling, even when discussing our likely destruction.
Evil Lord Rees
He also once encouraged me to jump up the stairs to Hall, as former master William Whewell used to do in full academic dress.
I decided it was impossible, but reckoned I could jump DOWN the steps. Cue me practically breaking my leg.
EVIL LORD REES.
What other kinds of friends are there?
Personal Friend or Close Personal Friend
Are terms only used by the most egregious name-droppers.

Good point.

EVIL CHARLES DICKENS.

Yeah?

nah that's different
our friend = a friend in our group of friends
our mutual friend = a friend we know independently of each other
Exactly. Fuck off Amis

What's going on?
Good to see you back, quackers.
This is no time for karaoke though.
:'-D
any chance of seeing quackers with his nob out?
Do birds have nobs?
meths?
Cock
Tit
Pussy willow
who cares
I just want a crude picture of quackers with his captain out. And if this picture also contains some tumbleweed and John Inman then so be it.
Quackers is a duck
Ducks have corkscrew knobs - FACT.
NB - without the wavey arms though
your nan has a corkscrew nob

morning, Snakes
Do people you only know online count as personal friends?
Can they be friends at all if you haven't actually met?
I think they become personal friends
once you've copped a feel.
that means I'm a personal friend of hofo
I don't want to be a personal friend of hofo.
I expect this to get a lot of thisses.
There's a pretty obvious solution: give them tank tracks instead of legs
They'd never get up stairs, or trees if they'd already destroyed our cities.
Does anyone have the Fens Terminator NO! Institute number? I'm going to call them now and let them know
no, but I have an email address for the Fens Anti Robot Team
it's ben.warnington@farts.co.uk
He's a bit busy at the moment. I suggest the Southampton Robot Eradication Association
Indie.Andy@Soreass.co.ck
Think it's actually the Cambridge University Nanotechnology Termination Squad.
Can't believe this made me laugh.
@farts seems like the funniest thing on earth

it bounced back
don't think that's the right address Andy
or just make sure they have to be plugged in to work.
pfft, this is big boy shit meths
Leave the science to me and the science people who take instructions from me
i mentioned hitler further up the thread.
perhaps it should have been down here.
Pretty sure tank tracks can go upstairs
Isn't that half the point?
Yep. Before that, all the tranks used to live in bungalows.
Johnny 5

Ah, panaflex
Me and Panaflex are off for a pint tonight if anyone fancies coming along?
Sorry, I've already arranged a feel copping with Lord Rees.
Well if you finish early
we'll be at the Clapham Grand for a two step night.
I think we should get it sorted once and for all
I nominate meths for the human race and theo for the robots.
this thread is broken.
and so it begins
Let's pray that Sean designs the robots.
Are human-killing robots killing music by killing all humans?
I think you'll find the answer surprising. Read on
I would like to!
I would like a spotify playlist to accompany this article please.
Preferably with his nob out.
You can only see his nob if you log on via facebook.
Unlucky.
THEY'RE KILLING EVERYTHING, SEAN
ARE YOU HAPPY NOW?
this thread isn't about time at all
Have you actually ever seen Terminator?
Educate yourself, man.
