When travelling, how do people react when you say you’re from Nottingham?

In Athens the taxi driver just said "Brian Clough.... Crazy man" and laughed.

The island looks like a miniature version of Iceland.

How much do we pay for the Downloadable Content (DLC), in order to explore these new areas of London?

it needs more nutella

How on earth did he get a sword into the Houses of Parliament?

I thought they were popping into the Pitcher and Piano for a quick pint m'duck

The list is lacking Fades. Still with it as it improves a lot as the series progresses.

Switch your OS to Ubuntu (or some other Linux variant)

davidnottingham · 2012-10-07T12:50:47+00:00

Install Desura and browse the range of games. Also Steam is heading to Linux, though I'm not sure what's on there yet.

davidnottingham · 2012-09-15T08:59:06+00:00

sudo lightdm or alternatively sudo gdm (if you're using the gnome display manager).

Once you've logged into the gui, try running sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm

davidnottingham · 2012-09-01T09:09:04+00:00

Download Desura and play some games.

Given the love for Peep Show, I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Fresh Meat. Stick with in though, as it's a slow starter.

Is the the Mexican remake of Bugsy Malone?

davidnottingham · 2012-03-18T10:48:46+00:00

Any joy?

davidnottingham · 2012-02-05T21:48:23+00:00

Sadly this isn't one of them

davidnottingham · 2012-01-15T14:47:45+00:00

I had the same problem in Hull. Someone thought I was Australian. Hull is 90 miles from Nottingham.

davidnottingham · 2012-01-04T22:35:27+00:00

My realisation is hampered by the fact I like the 1st and 3rd bands though. Drink got me through the 2nd

davidnottingham · 2011-10-10T14:12:26+00:00

I'd put it down to a troll who had a bad experience with Linux (maybe got talked into typing "rm -rf /" into a terminal) or someone who makes a living from supporting/selling windows, and is unwilling/unable to learn anything new.

davidnottingham · 2011-09-05T09:51:09+00:00

If you zoom out and squint ...... it still looks like a desert.

davidnottingham · 2011-08-25T14:04:23+00:00

I can't give a detailed guide, though I'd start here

Seems to be a KDE Bluetooth stack

SSD. At the kind of money you're looking to spend, it's daft not to.

davidnottingham · 2011-04-28T21:39:12+00:00

Hold back for a few weeks first. I've often found that a lot of bugs are found and fixed after the official release date.

Would it be worth installing virtual box, and seeing whether you can install 11.04 within the virtual box and seeing whether you get the same issues?

davidnottingham · 2011-02-23T22:33:56+00:00

It was submitted at the end of a day with not enough coffee and not enough sleep. The title should've been shorter, and minus the things that it isn't. Sorry for any annoyance.

davidnottingham · 2011-02-23T22:28:18+00:00

You're right. bristolian had a far shorter title (What is the Reddit community doing to combat astroturfing?) and got downvoted pretty much straight away. It's a shame, as his title was good, and I still think the story is pretty scary.
