See how well you can do on this:

Use a key instead of your mouse and just keep trying till you can't improve. My best is 30 years.

Fuck yeh!

[Metalchemyst]

Flukes not included!

Nah I managed to get that a couple of times. Once you've got got in the groove and an easy to press key ready you're sorted.



Though it took me starting at age 42 before I got down there.

Knew Tet would be tight on the reaction times

31's my best. Ugh.

What free-for-all'd me today: Got me long johns out, -4°C in the morning, will be the coldest part of the country with it being about 7-9°C average in Scotland. Probably the coldest it's dropped to in Bristol since I've moved here, I think.

A girl at work is in hysterical tears because the mum of one of the guys in one direction has died.
She has never met any of these people yet obsesses over them and calls them her babies. So fucking weird.

Even made the news on the BBC website. Probably just the way that modern "celebrity" culture works. I wouldn't know most current "stars" if I fell over them.

Pretty ironic that today is the 100th birthday of a true legendary star in Kirk Douglas and it's hardly been mentioned.

Fretting over one or two mildly un-PC things I said at tonight's work do and I wasn't even drunk. I was also uncomfortable with the crammed seating, sitting all hunched up and looking kinda spaced out the whole time. Can't have left an a great impression. Just wanted to eat my food and go so as soon as it settled in my stomach and I paid my share of the tip I buggered off. I really like my colleagues but I just wasn't feeling it and even if I didn't have to go somewhere tomorrow I doubt I'd have been great on a proper 'sesh'. Something's up with my brain this past week or two.

Whoops?


I actually got 25, with 348ms. Quite happy with that tbh.

[Tet]

To be fair, the best I can reliably achieve is around 215ms. The ones below that were freak outliers. It's also interesting to note how much system setup can have an impact on the results. The screenshots were taken on my work machine. On my home machine, I can't do better than around 450ms. I'm guessing that my KVM is adding latency to my key presses.

Sports Personality Of The Year?

I watch quite a lot of sport and I haven't even heard of half of them.

Seems like an excuse to tick all the PC boxes.
