    for use whenever blizeH gets GI-ed - what did he do this time?

    Inclusion of ellipsis in thread title is used for comic effect rather than to annoy morriss.

    I would like to muse in a Travis-stylee as to why it starts to piss it down the very minute after my only chance of a lift home departs without me?

    Playing all the right notes— but not necessarily in the right order.

    Because the original thread has gone as far as I can tell right now. I assumed because blizzy had got himself GI-ed again.

    Why do people struggle so with the difference between an ellipsis, and the plural - ellipses, and the subtleties of when to use 3 dots, and when to use 4?

    Totally random musing by the way, completely unrelated to this thread.

    Ah, got ya, how very confusing. Possible title change to 'the other random musing thread...' perhaps?

    The random musings thread not started by BlizeH?

    Ok I guess it needs work.

    I'm just a really bad typist.

    I figured that when the other thread was back along with its author, people would just use that. For other occasions such as this then there is at least a backup musing thread to capture stray thoughts. In the meantime, I am at work and therefore full of random musing, so I assumed others might be.

    I actually originally wanted to muse on whether or not HoriZon kept his clothes in colour order.

    I'm very jealous of you Orange. No, never been to the festival. NY is great though, thoroughly enjoyed my week there in October.

    I wish I could actually organise anything into any sort of order.

    My clothes have a 'worn' pile and a 'need ironed' pile. The only time this changes is if Avril either moans at me enough to do it or gets tired of moaning at me and does it herself.

    Half the time I need to get my socks from my dogs bed as he seems to like commandeering them aswell.

    Sometimes results in a Benny Hill type-chase with my dog when I'm in a hurry and need my socks.

    ...where you have to click on it to get the fuller picture?

    Guidelines Rule no.1.

    It's not hard, ffs.

    Is it me or has morriss'es last 200 posts been typed in anger over people not posting onto the forum according to his increasingly OCD-seeming standards? :-)

    surely "random musing thread" is self explanatory.

    unless that is a random musing, in which case it's a bit ocd :p

    As Orange said, you don't need to click on the thread to understand what it is about. The ellipsis is there simply to accent the randomness of musing. Not to annoy you - I even made the point of pointing that out, grumpypants.

    I suppose you could call it the 'Going off on a tangent' Thread. If you wanted to be pedantic.

    Fucks sake. Just read that Dragons Age is being released on the mac. Having to log onto Windows 7 whenever I want to play it is really putting me off. Had no idea it was being ported, would have waited if so!

    Pissy pants.

    just re-read the OP and the comments relating to ellipsis etc. WTF? I have NO idea what thats all about. I though local had misspelled ellipses but was musing about thread titles in general.

    I play it on Boot Camp Windows 7 too. Tbh, in my experience Mac games I've tried have run really badly on the Mac side and better on Windows.

    that sounds fantastic! I quite fancy the Toronto one. In fact, would like to do one a year in a different country.

    I've never actually played a mac ported game, so wouldn't know. Oh well, I'll just keep logging out. Need to get back into it again.
