Moriarty Computers: Jim’ll Fix It



yunuen:
“Have you tried turning it off and on again?” Jim from IT by day. Consulting Criminal by night. Sometimes, both worlds collide. Quotes (paraphrased) from the IT Crowd. Inspired by this awesome gif. I couldn’t resist expanding on that.

“Yes, hello, this is Moriarty Computers. What, really? All over the keyboard? Again? Well, alright. There’ll be an extra charge, though. I hate working with blood, means I have to wear latex gloves. No, no, it’s fiiiiine. Jim’ll fix it.”

For context, the wonderful original video these images are based on:

  I think this is a feeling everyone should be familiar with. And if they're not, they should drink more tea.
Life is exciting, guys. Exciting and FUN.

Strange Search Terms from the Depths of Google

I was discussing the Google Analytics system recently, and ended up having a look over some of the Google Search terms leading people to my site. Some of the usual popular terms are still going strong - 'tootsie pop', 'louder than god's revolver and twice as shiny', 'haggis', 'fallen book' and of course 'emma maree' - but there were some interesting ones out there in the Google Search masses.

diy game cave

If I knew how to build this, I would build a DIY Game Cave. I expect this is like your standard Man Cave but with a focus on gaming, so lots of flashing lights, a huge TV and a comfy chair. I would love to build this.

deep fried moon bar

Somebody needs to make this so I can eat it. Google doesn't even know what a Moon bar is. We've got Milky Way bars and Mars bars, but no Moon bars - Mars Inc. needs to get right on that.

how to not be soppy

Fiancé's reaction to this: "Why are they asking you?"

He's not wrong either. I get horribly upset when I stand on peoples toes. Sometimes I even cry. I'm a terrible romantic, but I'm fantastic wimp.

Anyway, embrace being soppy. It's cute. At least, that's what I keep telling myself.

it's party time book

Stealing this for a book title.

"IT'S PARTY TIME" by Emma Maree. Coming to all good book sellers when I find a story brilliant enough for that title.

nobody is perfect all have fallen short

You're not wrong, but still - people are pretty awesome. Keep your heads up high, comrades. Go get some hugs.

obsessed with children's books

There are worse things to be obsessed with. Mainly other people's children.

artsy pigeons and ice cream

And now I'm very tempted to change the title of this blog to 'Artsy Pigeons and Ice Cream'. Oh, the temptation.
I also want to be friends with whoever searched for this.

Credit where credit's due: This post is heavily inspired by Chuck Wendig's search term bingo (NSFW).
