  1. Dhaulagiri, since I seem to be doing mountains at the moment.
  2. I've never actually watched this, but I'm sure merely posting it will annoy the hell out of someone :)
  3. Urban Dictionary is useful for this sort of thing. Also, there's a sticky thread on this in the general forum.
  4. Annapurna, because it's not far from Kathmandu...
  5. Kathmandu, because I'd love to go there.
  6. This thread just won't be the same without SA to fight the "natural" corner :) Personally, I don't care all that much (although I do have a preference). I'm certainly not going to avoid seeing someone based on what I've heard about the styling of her nether regions.
  7. Epernay, France. Because it's where Champagne comes from.
  8. So, several people have observed that this comes up over and over again, and therefore doesn't need to be repeated. The former is self-evidently true. The latter, alas, I disagree with :) Yes, some of the folks here have been around a long time and have heard this before and either taken it on board or didn't need telling in the first place (most of this is common courtesy and basic hygiene, after all). But we constantly have new members joining CERB; I very much doubt that many of them spend time trawling through the archives, and I suspect quite a few don't even read the sticky threads in the various forums. So having this put up there for all to see on occasion isn't a Bad Thing, IMO. The fact that a SP feels it needs to be said - again - is probably proof that some folks haven't yet got the message, and that it *does* need repeating. And if someone, somewhere takes it on board as a result of this thread, whether it's the first time they've read this or the hundredth, then I think the thread has justified its existence. Those who know it all already are free to move along.
  9. And a warm welcome to you too, Bluewater! Congratulations on your moving from lurking to posting :)
  10. There's no excuse for it, IMO. Out-of-date pics of girls who are still there are one thing (although really, how hard is it to take some new pics?), but there's no reason to keep someone's pics up after they leave, never mind putting up fakes in the first place.
  11. For lovers of international politics (and anyone who likes to see politicians taken down a peg or two), here is Angela Merkel getting a tray of beer dumped on her head. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=37zXxV9_3l0 She takes it remarkably well, I must say...
  12. I like backrubman's contributions to CERB; he may not have been here that long, but he's already established himself as someone worth reading!
  13. Elbow, SK. 'cos I've just bashed mine on the door-handle and it hurts.
  14. Xenia. You can choose whether you want the one in Ohio or the one in Illinois.
  15. Uttar Pradesh, since they've been having elections there.
  16. Welcome, tokan! Hope you find this place fun! And useful, too... I've no idea what's in your locality, but Ottawa's not too far away and there's plenty of lovely ladies here. And sometimes some may visit Kingston.
  17. To add to Mod's post... the various forms of malware work by exploiting problems in the software you're running. One of the best things you can do is to make sure that you keep all the software on your machines up-to-date with the latest patches; that means that even if you do get exposed to a virus or trojan or whatever, it won't be able to get itself established on your machine. The problem with this is knowing when it needs doing. A lot of software will automatically check for (and sometimes download and install) updates, but not everything. This is a good tool for helping with this on Windows-based machines and keeping everything up to date. And even that doesn't keep you completely secure; sometimes the bad guys find vulnerabilities first and create malware before a fix exits! So in these cases you still need to keep an eye on what email attachments you open and what websites you visit.
  18. Oudtshoorn, where I got massaged by ostriches.
