Fashion news
Persuing a copy of the Times Saturday magazine that was lying around on my kitchen table this morning, I spotted a fashion item on summery dresses that featured at least one normal woman-shaped (and sized) model. And very stunning she looked too. I very much hope that rake-like women go out of fashion in my lifetime.

In related news, I was told that a top that I would usually consider too small for me makes me look slimmer. By that argument, do trousers that are too long for me make me look taller?

Whoops

MCiOS
Nice to see a permanant link to here on the home page.
Orange
Not only but also.
Fashion advice
[rab] No, you'll just fall over.

So this is the only site with a link to the invaluable !York archive. Hurrah for that. (And welcome back, I Say, Porter!)
What did I miss?
Are NotYork, Orange, and MCiOS the same games with different skins these days, or did I dream it? [All] And thanks. Nice to be back, and still see the old gags doing the rounds along with the PHENOMENAL level of inventiveness in the old crowd. Nothing like a thesis deadline to get a guy back posting on MC (and playing ToonTown...)
Dreams
You dreamed it. MCIOS is still itself, though Orange has an MCIOS-like skin. !York is in limbo, but shortly to be revived, we hear.
skins
[ISP] Possibly you accidentally linked to the others from the "skins" list at Orange rather than the "connections" list?
Dreams
Hmmm. Thanks matt, the Thailand National Anthem comes to mind

Notice to I Say, Porter!
[IS,P!] Your presence is requested at PantsMC (especially by Alfredo Garcia).
Alfredo Garcia
Not the famous Alfredo Garcia as in "bring me the hedge of Alfredo Garcia"?
miwwionaires
Yay! Newjustine just made her thrid million on Celebdaq... but is nowhere near the heady heights of the number 4 ranking she reached last month. I blame 'I'm a Celebrity' - it's skewing the market
ISIHAC
Anyone know where I can download ISIHAC programmes? isihac-download.com has been down "in preparation for the new series" for about 18 months, and you just can't get it in Italy....
ISIHAC
[IS,P!] Ask me kindly at my email address: greg4 [at] pitt [dot] ee-dee-ewe.
On behalf of Btd
Oooooooooooooh! *Stampeed*. Have you archives?
licking wet stamps
[Congregation] The stamp peed? eeeeuuuuuuwwwww...
Stamp Pee
I assume that high demand is what caused the esteemed Mr. Eric Kelly to cease and desist from posting each and every ISIHAC episode from the dawna time on his website. Makes sense, I suppose, but... WAAAAAAH!
Butting in
Can I just say: nieuuuuwwwbrrrrggghharse.

That's better.

[DrQ] (i) Spent pretty much the whole afternoon trying to work out if it's possible to embed an MPEG in a pdf using pdflatex. Some comments on mailing lists suggest "yes", but stop short of telling you actually how. (ii) I would suggest somewhere between Goldmember and Father Jack.

[MF] Is that a new Boardo variant you're playing there?

I like the introduction of a bit of Call My Bluff into the Hangman game.
NO CELEBDAQ!
Aaigh! It's down! What are we going to do?
celebdaq
Wonder who did it and how? Just go to bed early!
celebdaq
Their news page (before that disappeared into the ether) said that some people were randomly losing cash, apparently because someone deleted, rather than delisted, Tony Benn...

Celebdaq Again
Interesting. It's up now, but all of my shares have dropped like a brick. Have they back-dated all of them?
Mmmmmm

Mr Benn
I thought it was "as if by magic, the shopkeeper appeared"?
Celebdaq
I joined in with all this celebdaq business rather late (about two weeks ago) - how do I join in the MC league ? (If you'll have me !)
Celebdaq PS
My username is Blobble and I have a paltry £47k - but as I say I've only been playing 2 weeks. (made 262% last week, thought that was quite good, didn't realise that people had millions)
Celebdaq Dividends
If you look at our league, I think you can tell who had Phil Tufnell. :)
extra strong tea
Blob]post your id number here and you can take your place within hours.
Dr]Tuffnell did do well pushing me to +1364.93%,seven day profit of £2,845,856, this have gone into Keanu Reeves that is 1,662,711 shares. Only question now is how many millions will I have before I'm kneecapped and you take the No1 spot in the league.
My other me had a £350,000 div on Prince William, a perfect celebrity, no 7 day gain but huge divi(+399.76%), extra coverage in tabloid and broadsheet, coming up in the next few weeks as his 21st birthday is on the 21 June. Buy early!
Celebdaq
BLOBBLE (User ID: 3183175)
Yes I had Phil (and Anthony & Linda) - but didn't have the kind of funds you have to invest. I've also got Prince Billy who's been doing nicely for me. My long term banker is J.K.Rowling who's going to go ballisting mid June methinks.
None
Or even ballistic.
woo
Well, I'm doing better than I was, though I think it'll only be this week that we see any real improvement - I don't really have time to do it very often, but it's a useful break from revision, so I am going there on a reasonably regular basis. Keanu Reaves is doing me very nicely thankyou... I picked up 10000 shares for not very much, and hopefully we'll have a nice dividend this week.
Rowling along
I'm not sure she will tbh... Harry Potter will get lots of coverage, but will that all count to her?
me again...
What I want to know is how on earth the guy who's number 1 today got an increase of 30156090.00%
Hurry up Harry
[G III] I don't know how they work that out . . . if there was a huge article all about how Harry Potter turns young minds to jelly, and at the end it says "Harry Potter is written by J.K.Rowling", does the whole article count towards her, or just the last sentence ?
me again also
[G III] There are going to be some anomolies - like the fact I got NO dividends despite owning Phil Tuffy for almost the whole week.
Celebdaq
Never heard of it. Just logged in and by the time I had selected half a dozen "celebs" I was down a hundred quid. Eighty percent of these "celebs" I had never heard of - probably because they don't have "blankety blank" or "celebrity squares" here in Italy.
Quick losses
[IS,P!] That'll be because they charge a fee for transactions...
Sumthing funny going on...
[IS,P] But hang on. If you play your cards right, you'll make back the cost of the commission. A good place to look for tips is on www.thesun.co.uk showbiz pages...
BTW, What is happening to Phil Tuffnell? Who's selling all their shares and causing him to crash? The 'Get Me Out Of Here!' celebrities only flew back into Heathrow last night, and he got a full page in The Sun today, so I suspect there are some anomalous market figures going round. And how the hell do you make 30 million per cent profit, as today's chart-topper has?
In like a ...
Blobble enters the league at a stunning No 5.
Big %
One way to get a huge % would be to invest in a celeb who is plastered all over the papers (so you know you will get a large div) and just before the divs are dished out, do a load of trading (ie. endlessly buy and sell) to reduce your worth to next to zero by the end of the day. 7 days later you will have whatever your divs were plus a weeks trading and your % increase will be huge. It might be possible to get (divide by zero)% :o)
or then again ...
(divide by zero error)%
celebdaq
Umm, do I exist any more? I can't log in and the system claims not to know who snorgle is! Am I still in the league?
Someone's there
snorgle]your still there in the league with your id 2818390, I hope your password lets you log on soon.
I Say, Porter!]for a bit of extra fun post your id No and join the MC league. Can you stay ahead of Wol and blamelewis?
Oh no they aren't
You reply to the auto reply thing but there is still "nothing known about ISayPorter". Bah. Worth starting again?
starting again...
Nope. Generates the really useful error message: "Error". What genius came up with that, give him or her a raise.
Caps Lock
[snorgle] Just to note that Celebdaq logins are case sensitive. I had trouble when I first joined due to that.
Celebdaq
OK ID number 3244310 and currently about 190,179 in the chart (up 15 quid or .15 pecent)
celebdaq
I can get in again! It wasn't caps lock, I checked that last night. Probably just a glitch on the system.. I think Keanu Reeves must be a good buy with the Matrix Reloaded opening soon..
celebdaq
Does anyone know how to change your password on celebdaq? I've been searching for a way how, but can't find anything!
Passwords
Try here...
And if that doesn't work
dunno whether that'll cause problems, but basically you have to go to the portfolio, go to 'register for cash prize or update details' and it's in there.
celebdaq
[GIII]thanks!

I made a million - yay! *cackle*
