• Hello!

I am currently involved in the either/or game and i need some new questions, for those of you not familiar with the game, here is a short description and some examples:

You name two things and the other person has to pick which of them they like best, they have to pick one, so if they hate both then they pick the one they hate less.

here are some of the basic starters.

Elvis or the Beatles?
Mcd's or Burger King?
Pepsi or Coke?
Kylie or Brittney?
France or Germany?

Get the idea?

Questions please.

how about answers?

beatles
mcd's
coke
kylie
france

Personally im Elvis over Beatles and the Hun over the treacherous French, but otherwise, Nice 1

The obvious one
Daddy or Chips?
and perhaps
Sonic or Mario?

My answers:
Beatles
Maccy D's
Coca-Cola
Kylie
French (though this strictly is based purley on a football hate decision only you understand)
Daddy
Sonic

Mel or Kim?
Hot or Cold?
Indian or Chinese?
Anthrax or Smallpox?
The list goes on and on

mel
cold
chinese
smallpox
chips
sonic

Isn't Mel dead?

that depends which mel you're talking about

work or unemployed?

None of those, surely someone else remembers Mel & Kim.

Unemployed.

Come on people, they don't have to be sensible questions.

First real six-string or Five and dime?

Chris Mk II: I used to work at a web company and people found it very funny to Sing Me; and Kim at me cos my name is Chay, and it sounds a bit like the chorus from "Respectable". ie. Chay Chay Chay Chay Ch Ch Ch Ch Ch Chay Chay. Oh how I laughed, then cried, then burnt down the building.

If you burn down the building you ain't never gonna be respectable (respectable) pal.

Sex with the woman of your dreams once, and then no sex ever again, or sex as you are going now forever?

Aye ... they aren't just men on this site .. so you need to rephrase that question!

Sex with the woman of your dreams once, and then no sex ever again, or sex as you are going now forever?

I don't have a woman of my dreams .. I have a man of my dreams (Van Diesel) .... but I would have to go with "sex as you are going now and forever".

Who in the hell would wnat to have sex just once?

Pink or Brown?

is that Vin Diesel or a Diesel Van?

Pink!

crisps of chocolate?
tea or coffee?
gay or straight?
long/thin or short/wide?
blonde or brown(or black)?
car or bike?

Vin :P

are you sure vin, coz diesel vans are hot commodities this time of year :)

hmmmmm .... and I love big trucks. I have a 99 Dodge Ram, Raised, Fat Boys Tires, and a kick ass sound system.

But Vin Diesel in that and I will be in Heaven. *smile*

Uneducated ones visit the mighty Mel & Kim website!


www.applebyweb.com/

If someone tells me how to do that underline link thing, that could be better.

type:

[a href="http://www.applebyweb.com/"]what you want underlined[/a]

using chevrons instead of brackets []

A chevron only points up, doesn't it? Like: ^

I always call these things <> "pointy brackets", but I think "angle brackets" is the right term?

i am not an uneducated one, only slightly dense (follow the below link, click enter, then weebl and bob in top right hand corner, then click on 'here' near top right hand corner, and see the humour i like and understand me!), yes again i have been drinking, but when you work behind a bar for a part time job what else are you supposed to do!


does it work now

Nope, remove the last "/" on the link (so it's www.weebl.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/b3ta/bull... not www.weebl.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/b3ta/bull... )

...or change it completely :P

lol

ignore all the above instructions, just go here!

yes it does work now!

james - have you got trillian pro? it's a bit ace

I would never pay for an IM!!

But yes, I do have trillian Pro, and it is very, very nice. I like the XML facility and the fact that it can check for pop3 now.

Which reminds me - are you going to make an XML reader? :-)

so you're saying you stole trillian pro? shame on you. $25 is hardly much for a program you get so much out of. don't cheat the small time developers

It's not cheating the small time developers, it's the fact that they are charging for an IM! IM's have always been free, if Trillian charge, how long will it be before the likes of AOL, ICQ, MSN etc start to charge for their Messangers? Then it won't be just $25, it will be a lot more.

no, that's ridiculous. you ARE stealing. ICQ, AIM, MSN et al make money by using them as a markting tool. trillian is developed by a pair of kids. are you saying you'd steal software i write if it were similar in function but much better than IE, simply because if i charge for it then microsoft will? get real, and stop cheating the developers.

Let me get this straight. Are you saying you have never used cracked software in your life?

let me explain - i don't use cracked software from small developers. especially when you could just use trillian .74 for free ffs

So you have used cracked software before? Even bigger companies require money coming in to pay for their developers.

You can probally go on the way back machine and check out trillians site when they first launched the program. There is a section asking why Trillian is free - it says something like (and this is competely from memory) "We don't believe in charging for an instant messanger"

i'm a small developer, so i care about small developers. if i used a cracked copy of windows, the developers don't get fired. microsoft is geared up to only expect money from business cutomers. small developers just aren't

and just because they once didn't charge for their product, it doesn't make it right to steal it when they start charging for it.

software piracy is theft. not spending $25 is hardly a way to show gratitude towards a product. stick to the non-pro version, or write your own.

from trillian.cc on web.archive.org:

Trillian is a freeware program. This means that it's yours to try, for free non-commercial use, forever.

and so it is. trillian pro is a seperate product

> i'm a small developer, so i care about small >developers. if i used a cracked copy of >windows, the developers don't get fired.

Since when have small developers got fired for people using cracked copies?

> software piracy is theft. not spending $25 is >hardly a way to show gratitude towards a >product.

Some people can't afford to pay $25 for an IM.

> or write your own.

Some people also don't have the ability to write their own.

As you feel so strongly about the matter, and as I do respect your opinions, I have removed the software, however I shall not be using the Free version of Trillian, I'll just use another program that supports all IM networks.

Since when have small developers got fired for people using cracked copies?

if small developers can't afford to operate, they can't afford to operate. it's as simple as that

Some people can't afford to pay $25 for an IM. that's why trillian still has a free version, adn by all accounts always will.
