Funniest Quotes

by Austin-Lance @ 2008-04-25 - 13:25:05

Blimey three posts in one day......I'm exhausted :))

Filling in the answers to the Friday Five in the previous post has set me wondering....

What is the funniest quote you have ever heard?

Mine is from The Goon Show, an episode entitled "Dishonoured"

Announcer: Ten miles he swam. The last three were agony.
Seagoon: They were over land. Finally I fell in a heap on the ground. I've no idea who left it there. :))

What's yours?

Music Files and Even More Lies

by Austin-Lance @ 2008-02-17 - 17:35:30

I am officially pissed off.....again

The cause? My computer.....again

The reason? I have LEGALLY downloaded some music files and DJ jingles to use when I'm working and listening through them have found about three that I could mix together to make an intro.

All of them are in MP3 format and so I decided to use the audio section of Windows Movie Maker to join them together.

Looking at the list of supported files I see that MP3's are supported, yet when I try to import the files I get a message saying that they cannot be imported...they are either not supported or are corrupted.

I KNOW that they're not corrupted because I've been playing them, and the list says that they're supported.....so I've come to a conclusion.....

My computer's lying to me again

>:XX

Calling All Fashion Experts.....

by Austin-Lance @ 2008-01-23 - 23:33:21

This is perfect illustration of where my head is at the moment...and it's left me with a problem!!!

I was given a 100% Cashmere jumper for a Christmas present and I have worn it several times and so it needed washing.

So I put it in the machine, set it and left it...thing is, my machine's a washer/dryer and I stupidly forgot to turn the dryer part off.

Therefore......yes you guessed it.......it's shrunk!!!

Is there any way of stretching it back???

I feel so embarrassed and stupid

HELP!!! :(

Hollywood star Johnny Depp has paid tribute to the London hospital that saved his daughter's life - by donating a massive £1 million out of his own pocket.

Eight-year-old Lily-Rose, his daughter by long-term French girlfriend Vanessa Paradis, is thought to have contracted E.coli poisoning last year during the family's stint living in Surrey while Johnny lensed Sweeney Todd. The bug led to kidney failure and resulted in the youngster spending nine days in Great Ormond Street hospital last March.

"It was the most frightening thing we've ever been through," revealed Johnny, who scooped the best actor gong for his role in the gothic thriller at this year's Golden Globes. "It was hell. But the magic is that she pulled through beautifully."

This isn't the first time the hunky father-of-two has shown his gratitude to the hospital. He invited five lucky doctors and nurses to join him at the glitzy party thrown in conjunction with the London premiere of Sweeney Todd last week. And in November the actor had his Jack Sparrow costume flown over from LA specially, so he could treat the young patients to bedtime stories dressed as his popular Pirates Of The Caribbean character.

Disney, the makers of the Pirates movies, has pledged to donate another £10 million to the hospital, too.

"Great Ormond Street was terrific," added Johnny. "A great hospital."

All I can say is...

"Respect to you Johnny" 

Enough said

Airplane Maintenance!!!

by Austin-Lance @ 2007-12-18 - 23:29:12

I saw this on a King.com players profile and just had to share it (hope she doesn't mind)

In case you need a laugh: Remember it takes a college degree to fly a plane but only a high school diploma to fix one.

After every flight, Quantas pilots fill out a form, called a "gripe sheet," which tells mechanics about problems with the aircraft. The mechanics correct the problems, document their repairs on the form, and then pilots review the gripe sheets before the next flight.

Never let it be said that ground crews lack a sense of humor.

Here are some actual maintenance complaints submitted by Quantas' pilots (marked with a P) and the solutions recorded (marked with an S) by maintenance engineers.

By the way, Quantas is the only major airline that has never, ever, had an accident.

P: Left inside main tire almost needs replacement. S: Almost replaced left inside main tire.

P: Test flight OK, except auto-land very rough. S: Auto-land not installed on this aircraft.

P: Something loose in cockpit. S: Something tightened in cockpit

P: Dead bugs on windshield. S: Live bugs on back-order.

P: Autopilot in altitude-hold mode produces a 200 feet per minute descent. S: Cannot reproduce problem on ground.

P: Evidence of leak on right main landing gear. S: Evidence removed.

P: DME volume unbelievably loud. S: DME volume set to more believable level.

P: Friction locks cause throttle levers to stick. S: That's what friction locks are for.

P: IFF inoperative in OFF mode. S: IFF always inoperative in OFF mode.

P: Suspected crack in windshield. S: Suspect you're right.

P: Number 3 engine missing. S: Engine found on right wing after brief search.

P: Aircraft handles funny. (I love this one!) S: Aircraft warned to straighten up, fly right, and be serious.

P: Target radar hums. S: Reprogrammed target radar with lyrics.

P: Mouse in cockpit. S: Cat installed.

And the best one for last..................

P: Noise coming from under instrument panel. Sounds like a midget pounding on something with a hammer. S: Took hammer away from midget.

See ya!!! :wave:

Movie Makers Are At It Again

by Austin-Lance @ 2007-12-14 - 16:47:45

"We love it when a plan comes together - A-Team movie goes ahead

Fri 14 Dec 1:02 PM

We pity the fool who is not excited at this news - famous 1980s TV show The A-Team is to heading to the big screen.

Shaft director John Singleton has confirmed he will helm the remake of the show, which will now see the soldiers of fortune as Gulf War, rather than Vietnam, veterans.

It's reported the film version will "reflect contemporary issues and politics" and be "less cartoony" than the TV show.

Which is all well and good but there will be some angry fans out there if the film doesn't include one scene where Mr T, Hannibal, Face and Murdoch are locked in a warehouse with all the tools and weapons they need.

No word on the casting as yet, but seeing as Tyrese Gibson and Mark Wahlberg starred in Singleton's last film Four Brothers expect to see their names bandied about for the Mr T and Hannibal Smith roles."

Sorry but I fear like so many more of these movies made recently, it won't be anywhere near as good as the original :(

We shall see.
