The Official Nonsense Thread

[Minty]

Don't mention Skyrim! Word came out today that the Elder Scrolls online will be for bloody consoles up to two months before it will be out for PCs as a suck up to their manufacturers for messing them around with Skyrim.

It also confirms that's why Skyrim got junked - so they could get ESO out on time for the new gen consoles.

You know it's still too hot when it is pouring with rain & you can see a cat sitting quite happily out in it in the middle of someone's driveway probably because it's the nearest it can get to cooling down.

Look who is going on the banknotes in the UK:




Jane Austin. JANE EFFING AUSTIN! Like, WTF?

The official line is that it's because there isn't enough women on Bank of England notes: but at the same time Austin replaces Charles Darwin, Winston Churchill will replaced prison reformer Elizabeth Fry on the £5.




This is the muppet to blame for it, one Caroline Criado-Perez of Rutland. She described the expected announcement as "a brilliant day for women"?!?!?!? Oh yeah, it could have been Millicent Fawcett, it could even have been Florence Nightingale again (never mind the nursing, she's the queen of applied statistics as an academic discipline) but no, let's have the Godmother of Chick Lit on the notes instead. Gaaaaaaaaah!

Could have been worse, we could have had the Ricardians demanding he got his head on the notes!
