Recommended by a PS2 owning friend, I bought Bully for the PC. A very fast quad Phenom with 5GB, 9600GT, Vista x64 and two monitors.

Installs fine and then the fun begins!

During first run, both monitors change resolution 20 or 30 times.

Bully seems to lose control of the mouse meaning it's straying to monitor 2 so when I click something it loses focus and after much monitor resyncing dumps me back to desktop.

Eventually I get the game to start the intro sequence, am dropped at the school gates and told to report to the headmaster's office.

A specific and yet generalised claim.

I had a good phone, a clamshell samsung. I sat on it and broke the screen. Still worked, but I couldn't see who I was calling and couldn't see to add contacts.

So I ordered a new one, and until that arrived I put my sim in an old Nokia 3310. It's crap but it works.

Today I was fixing a leaky urinal when I hear it calling. I answer to hear a woman saying "This is the emergency services, do you have an emergency".

... Is a question I see often on IRC, and it's a good question - not just because all genuine questions are good, but because it tells a lot about the people who reply and what they say.

People do seem to be told to get a bouncer by their mates without fully understand what one is or even why they want one, and then tell /their/ mates they should have one because it's cool... :)

I have three, but then I'm very cool indeed.

So what, exactly, *is* a bouncer?

Okay, here goes. I need to explain roughly what IRC is first though.

Before Web 2.0 was ever mentioned, I'd closed guestbooks, disabled comments, blocked shoutwalls and with one or two specific exceptions, stopped people writing things on my websites.

There were two reasons;

1. Spambots.

2. Idiots.
