What do we think of this Minecraft billionaire chap who is desperately unhappy with his fortune

[Ashberto]

because it has sapped his motivation and he has to wait all day for his family and friends to come home from work so he can see them and so on?

Answers moving beyong the obvious "give it all to me then" would probably be preferred. Maybe even beyond the "support Arsenal and give it to the club so we can use it to not buy any players".

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

I assume this 'Minecraft' is a game? So a computer geek became a billionaire by making a game?

Truly, we live in strange times. A man is allowed to use a ladies' changing room because he claims to be a woman, and a nerd with no imagination has a well-paid job :-(

Where did everything go wrong, a?

and a bit more motivation

[Ashberto]

This man has toiled long and hard to make the best of the abilities that the good lord gave him. While others have spent their time idling it away, and gorging on the pleasures of the flesh, he has performed great feats of technical and creative (yes, you missed that) endeavour, to give pleasure to millions in the healthy and harmless recreational pastime of playing a game - something humanity has enjoyed for as long as there has been civilisation.

He deserves respect for that at least. He does obviously need a hobby though, the whinging, self-pitying spastic.

[Berni]

So now we're potentially upsetting, outraging, inconveniencing or simply making uncomfortable half the population in order to pander to the delusions of a tiny group of the mentally ill based on scientific evidence that ranges from 'flimsy' to 'non-existent'? Excellent. Well done everyone. We've officially gone f**king mad. The Allan Akbars may have a f**king point about us.

My favourite irony is that the sort of idiots who'll scream about this poor lunatic's right to behave in defiance of all visual, aural, scientific and medical evidence are exactly the same people who'll scream loudly about how religious people should not have any dispensations made for their particular beliefs about how the world works.

It's just awfully sad. :-(

Plus, this f**ker's barely even making an effort imo. I could look more like a bird given some slap and an hour in Top Shop.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Yes. Falafels. And gets crumbs therefrom lodges in his beard. And he's never seen a real naked lady.

[Ashberto]

This is the sort of thing he needs to know.

[Berni]

And I don't know why because - as far as I can see - it's just Lego on a screen. :shrug:

[barrybueno]

they don't have to work.

The reason is because they would all f**k him off I guess.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

The Huns are knocking on the city walls and, soon enough, they will crumble.

It may be no bad thing. We've probably taken this as far as we can. A couple of millenia of muslamic slaughter and savagery may be what's required to take the whole thing back to year 0 and start again.

[Ashberto]

At this point it's either that or the Allan Akbar's, I'm afraid. Only one can defend western civilisation. Pick a side.

[barrybueno]

Not quite the poles tho I suppose.

[Berni]

I do think Islam would get much better PR if they all liked a drink.

[IUFG]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

[Billy Goat Sverige]

[Rich]

perhaps?

Or potentially assemble a collection of classic cars which he could lovingly restore?

Or he could make it his mission to go and follow England on every overseas test match tour, all the time staying in the best hotels and eating at the best restaurants.

There are boundless opportunities for him and I do not believe for one second that he's so much of a social retard that his only passion is computer games. Even supposing it is, he could just make another f**king game.

[Ashberto]

[IUFG]

An the Irish. forgot about the Irishers.

of the Saffa Tests this winter. Would love to go the Boxing Day one - might piss off my family a bit though, but I did stay all last Christmas with them

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

I've never been to Wrexham. I've been to Swansea several times.

See?

[Berni]

[Ashberto]

unlikely to be following English, or any other, cricket.

In fact what you suggest is what Paul Allen did with his Microsoft billions. Set up loads of companies as toys to play with but don't have to make any money. That is until now, where the one I work for has to make loadsa money or will get shut down. :-| That's not unreasonable in itself were it not for the fact that the core of people at the top are used to a certain level of comfort from themselves which they can only maintain, it seems from my perspective, by screwing the people at the bottom. Grrr!

[Jake]

Little bitch.

[Ashberto]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

'sense' isn't really foremost among the attributes of the Welsher.

[Jake]

[Luis Anaconda]

Sweden - nearest cricket team in 80km away

[Rich]

In fact, Cape Town in general is a truly beautiful city.

[Ashberto]

whatever you give them.

[Berni]

All the other Scandis think they're boring c**ts as well.

[Luis Anaconda]

Boxing Day is Durban, so would much prefer Cape Town

Never been to South Africa at all so might be the time to put that right

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

I am quite a fan in fact.

This is where me and the other cool people eat.

developed.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

It's a f**king long way to go to find yourself in aculture that is essentially remedial-class European.

Someone told me the other day that they'd just returned from 'safari' in South Africa. It turned out they'd done a 6 hour drive in the Kruger.

Might as well have gone to Windsor Safari Park, the thick ****.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

I expect the graphics are good and the user interface is something or other.

I had a brief chat with SW Jnr this morning about Minecraft, specifically the Moo-Shrooms therein. Hadn't a f**king clue what he was about.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

You dirty f**ker. This is worse than the kiddy thing.

[Billy Goat Sverige]

[Rich]

the lodge is fantastic, albeit without electricity.

Also, other jeeps in Kruger aren't allowed within the area of Sabi Sands, which helps.

http://www.sabi-sands.com/nottens-bush-camp.html

Cape Town is a beautiful place, you cannot deny.

[Ashberto]

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

Imagine my childish sniggers as we approached it.

Then the silence in the father in laws car as I attempted pronunciation.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

:hehe:

[Luis Anaconda]

remedial class European might be a step up

[Berni]

[Rich]

My parents are going to Namibia on safari in a few months, actually. That looks incredible.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

Your Limerick based heritage shines through.

a joyless place. They gave us ABBA but cancelled that out with Volvo and Saab. Then f**king Ikea :-(

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

Building ****.

[Berni]

greasy lamb, garlic and cumin.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

And a rake of spuds.

[Billy Goat Sverige]

europe tbh, especially in the winter.

[Berni]

Weren't we going to have a catch-up at some point?

[Ashberto]

oh.

[Luis Anaconda]

Well hopefully not being run out. Should face a decent total (no Willey and that c**t Woakes in)

[Berni]

serve a dish called 'Batata Hara'. Can you guess what a 'Batata' is? :hehe:

Still, you've got to cater for the locals somehow.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Another thought I had was that we ought to book one in early next year, around Jan 22/23, to celebrate the anniversary of Rorke's Drift.

Check with your other half about the weekends of 31/10 - 1/11, 7 -8/11, or 14-15/11.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

[Berni]

We certainly should look at putting the world to rights over a couple of bottles of Chateau Musar and a mound of dead sheep, though. :nod:

[barrybueno]

summer around. Lovely. This bloke's a nutter.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

Overheard in a loosely based Italian (style) restaurant on Friday evening last, table right behind us.

Corbonara ... with a side of skinny fries.

[Berni]

In the old days it would have been a big, floury boiled spud - and you wouldn't have had to ask for it.

I have a hairdresser's appointment on Thursday 24th at 4. If you fancy lunching prior to that...
