[BEAST]

Hello Peeps.

Just wondered who coded this website. I have never seen anything quite like it in my life........ Just BEASTLY!

My message of the day.

Why walk when you can run.
Why run when you can orienteer!

later,

BEAST

[bendover]

how interesting.

[samsonite]

the code monkey extraordinaire that is pyrat, aka alastair brunton esq.

and yes he is beastly, at least when it comes to coding. everything i have ever asked him to do on this site he has been able to do. he is unstoppable

I'm fascinated by the fact that if you look on the website as a guest the times of posting are an hour adrift of if you were logged in - does that mean being a member gives you an hour's start on mere mortals

[Nailest]

There's a "timezone" option in the profile. Maybe if you don't login and tell it to do anything else, the board defaults to GMT.

[Mrs H.]

Way before you lot were born there was a tv series where the villains drank the juice of crushed diamonds ( we were easily pleased in those days) and thereby had the power to travel faster than the speed of light - perheps a similar thing is happening heredo you think this will work out on a course - great way to sign up members - nope gives you special powers - you will finish your courses an hour quicker if you are a member

so some lucky people might be in minus time interesting.




hmmm.

[Nailest]

If people are able to finish their run before they start, it could make relays a whole lot more interesting.

the villains drank the juice of crushed diamonds

I know this comes from a gentler, more naive age Mrs H., but the juice of crushed diamonds? Had the producers skipped the lesson on Moh's scale?

[distracted]

Come on I-pod, when has science been the primary concern for these aspiring TV sci-fi/cartoon writers? As long as they get people hooked, they don't care - and Mrs H's recollection is proof that they did their job well!

[Nailest]

I'd imagine getting hooked on crushed-diamond juice would prove quite an expensive habbit.

Errr.... what is Moh's scale - are you trying to tell me it wont work Goddammit that was my secret weapon for the run in competition
next you'll be saying there's no such things as dilithium crystals, phasers and warp drive

[distracted]

Errr.... what is Moh's scale

Mr Moh was very bored and decided he would come up with a scale to describe the hardness of minerals. and the hardest of all is diamond...

If you really want to find out more look at:

and nailest's right - that would be very expensive just to win the run-in at the JK, especially if all that's on offer is whatever trophy(s) Mr Nixon decided to purchase off ebay

Errr.. you're both missing a rather obvious point - if you can travel faster than the speed of light you can stroll around and nick as many diamonds as you like - no-one's going to catch you are they Mind you they all came to a horrible end - accelerated ageing due to Live Fast Die Young Popular Youth Culture Syndrome (LFDYPYCS for short) My quote button isn't working - must be Quote Editing Deficiency (QED for short)

[Nailest]

So where does "nails" come on Mr. Moh's scale?

MrsH. It's a vicious circle if we need diamond-juice to become faster than light in the first place

And you're missing a close bracket on the opening "quote" tags.
