Rick Mayall just passed away.

Welu · « **Reply #754 on:** 09 Jun 2014, 08:43 »

Beo, I just heard about him. Gutted.

BeoPuppy · « **Reply #755 on:** 09 Jun 2014, 08:53 »

Yeah, weird. Childhood icon and all that ... 56, too. That's just criminal.

Thrillho · « **Reply #756 on:** 09 Jun 2014, 09:41 »

Somewhat gutted about Rik Mayall. One of comedy's real mavericks - or part of one of the real maverick double acts. Distinctive, hilarious, all around brilliant, but capable of drama.

In other news, that Chewbacca gif is longer than Peter North's erection, just why the fuck?

"3...2...7"... ?

Barmymoo · « **Reply #767 on:** 10 Jun 2014, 12:14 »

That's a one. That's how I write my ones, often - a seven has a line through the stem.

pwhodges · « **Reply #768 on:** 10 Jun 2014, 12:37 »

That is normal in continental Europe, as is using a comma for the decimal place.

LTK · « **Reply #769 on:** 10 Jun 2014, 13:28 »

If that was the case, don't you think it would show up in typography? I don't know of any font or style that has striked sevens. I strike my sevens but my parents don't, pretty sure it varies from person to person.

Barmymoo · « **Reply #770 on:** 10 Jun 2014, 13:55 »

I have always thought of it as a French thing - my handwriting is generally fairly French in the way I form my letters and numbers (the only exception is the way I write Ks which are more English - I don't like the French style of k).

Here's one, though I agree it's hardly mainstream!

I don't put a stroke through seven, but I do through zero.

Apparently there are several according to this forum posting.

lepetitfromage · « **Reply #779 on:** 11 Jun 2014, 06:11 »

I put a line through my sevens and through Zs as well- otherwise, my Zs look too much like twos.

cesium133 · « **Reply #780 on:** 11 Jun 2014, 06:44 »

I put a line through Zs, but not 7s. It's a habit I picked up as a physics undergrad. As lepetitfromage said, it's to distinguish Zs from 2s.

Who would have thought a Tiger (I think?) could look so sad.

Jimor · « **Reply #789 on:** 11 Jun 2014, 18:56 »

Tiger (P) (Porsche) I think. I have one in World of Tanks, and I know they acquired one in the first season of Girls und Panzer.

Yessssssssssssssssss, the little iron throne.

Stryc9Fuego · « **Reply #792 on:** 11 Jun 2014, 19:23 »

Out of everything for that picture... the iron throne, the well-behaved child, the nicely done banner... what impresses me most are the two cats.
Those are the most well-behaved cats in history to sit that still like that.
I can't believe that was intentional. My mind won't accept it. He was trying to take a picture of his kid, the cats jumped up to mug the picture, and it was too perfect not to snap; a happy accident.

Indeed. That is for the record a Tiger 1 E, the full production model vs. the Porsche prototype that never saw production.

Compared to that, I don't have a hobby. I'm merely vaguely interested in stuff.
