Party Props May 18, 12, 2:06 p.m.

I have my brother's stag do in Vegas next week and everyone has been told to bring along some props for the nights out. Anyone know of any that aren't cliche'd and get a lot of attention? I can already see the jokers on this post some hilarious links, but in all seriousness, any recommendations?

Many thanks.

Good People of QBN May 9, 12, 3:42 p.m.

Evening all,

I've been in this community for a few years now and have requested a lot of help for shitty/small things. Now I'm hoping to get someones invaluable help on an event myself, some colleagues and friends are throwing on July 7th.

We're hosting a boat cruise along the Thames in London, with 100% of the proceeds going to Cancer Research UK, a charity organisation close to many of our hearts.

We're in the early stages of planning, and without wanting to go in to too much detail at this stage (I'll make another thread about that closer to the date), we are hoping to get a designer and/or developer on board to work on a site, which will allow for the purchase of tickets to the event.

We've currently got an international DJ lined up with a couple more to be confirmed.

If any one out there has some capacity over the coming weeks (probably wishful thinking), please get in touch with me or leave a note below and I'll drop you an email.

Thank you for your time,
Dom

The Twelves May 9, 12, 6:39 a.m.

Hi there,

I'm looking for every mixtape/podcast I can get my hands on by The Twelves (Brazilian Duo).

So far I have:

- Essential Mix (2009)
- Twelfth Hour

Does anyone know where I can get any more, if they exist?

You help I'll buy you a beer :)

Thanks

Utilitarian Websites Mar 29, 12, 10:31 a.m.

Was curious if you guys use any websites for a purely functional/utilitarian purpose?

For example, when I wake up to find that my phone is dead but I have another 30 mins of sleep to embrace, I use http://onlineclock.net/ for a simple alarm clock.

I find this kind of thing, while not the best designed, but very functional, quite interesting. Just wondering if anyone has any other examples?

Cheers,
Dom

What is that song... Feb 23, 12, 2:01 p.m.

That no matter what kind of mood you're in, if you here it out you will want to dance.

There's quite a few, but this is definitely mine:

Another Mixtape Feb 21, 12, 3:06 a.m.

Angel Pub Crawl Feb 20, 12, 8:53 a.m.

Hey,

Having recently moved to the Islington area I'm keen to do a pub/bar crawl around Angel / Upper St this Saturday night. I've been to a few places around the area but with so many bars and pubs, want to make sure I'm going to the right places. Can anyone suggest a good pub crawl around the area? Also, is Slim Jim's any good? We couldn't get in there last time because we had no girls in the group.

Suggestions welcome. Thank you.

FIFA 12 Feb 20, 12, 4:46 a.m.

Okay, I've had FIFA 12 (on ps3) since it came out and wanted to ask around to see if I was the only one experiencing this frustration.

Keep in mind I've played FIFA since the 90s versions.

I play against my flatmate predominately and find this version, moreso than any others flawed throughout.

We both agree that it's as if the computer decides who it wants to win before kickoff and does everything possible to make that team win. These include, but are not limited to:

- Making the goalkeeper of chosen team exceptionally better than the opposition team's goalkeeper.

- Make the first touches (and movement in general) a lot better than the opposition team's.

- Through balls more effective.

- Tackling automated by the computer when the player is deselected. The other team's tackling will be exponentially worse.

- General "fuck ups" don't happen for chosen team.

Etc.

Has anyone experienced this? Is there a way you can limit this? It's hilarious when it's on your side, but so frustrating when it's not.

It just seems that it's a flawed game. Seems to not happen when playing online either.

Anyway... Rant over.

Thanks for reading this far.
Dom

Greatest Essential Mix Feb 14, 12, 3:46 a.m.

What's everyone's greatest essential mix of all time? Looking for some new music to listen to at work.

For me, you can't go past the Twelves essential mix from 2009. Absolute brilliance.

References Needed Feb 13, 12, 6:29 a.m.

Afternoon all,

Does anyone have any good examples of well thought out brand sites acting as a business card on the web in a different way? Basically how brands can use a microsite in different and simple ways other than the usual shite? And not full fledging flash sites.

http://www.skittles.com is kind of what I'm looking for. Thanks in advance.

TV Shows Jan 24, 12, 11:56 a.m.

- Breaking Bad
- Sons of Anarchy
- Dexter
- Sopranos
- Entourage

Any recommendations?

Thanking you

Let's Create A Mixtape Jan 24, 12, 4:04 a.m.

An experiment in collaboration. Rules are simple, post a YouTube video of a song which flows nicely from the song posted by the person before you.

I will start:

tumblr chronology Jan 12, 12, 8:53 a.m.

Hello,

I'm very inexperienced with HTML, but was wondering if there was an easy way to reverse the chronology of your tumblr posts so that oldest shows first -> newest?

Many thanks

Favourite Mashup Dec 20, 11, 8:13 a.m.

This has to be up there:

eXpansys Dec 16, 11, 6:44 a.m.

I'm trying to order an Apple TV for my brother for Christmas who lives in Hong Kong.

Expansys seems the cheapest option. Just wondering if anyone has ordered from them before?

Alternatively, if anyone could recommend a place to order Apple TV to be delivered to Hong Kong (where you can't buy Apple TV), that would be great?

He has a UK iTunes account and from what I've read it should be fine as long as his broadband is 6mbps+ (which it is).

Any help appreciated.

Thanks,
Dom

What's it Called Dec 13, 11, 1:15 p.m.

When there's a play on two words, to make up a commonly known word (or words) that already exist?

For example;

Indie Skies = In disguise

Is this just called a play on words, and does anyone have any other examples?

Costume Ideas Nov 30, 11, 7:12 a.m.

Theme:

East-End / Cockney.

I am not from London, or the UK so aside from Jack the Ripper I have no ideas.

Anyone got an interesting slant on what I could dress up as?

Minimal effort, low cost and maximum impact desired.

Thank you
