I'd have to go for a Trek funeral, I think. Have everyone come dressed in Starfleet dress uniform, have a UFP flag hanging in the crematorium, a coffin shaped like a photon torpedo and have the original Trek theme music as my coffin goes into the furnace.
At the wake, my favourite episodes will be shown and anyone who sits and watches them be included in my will. This will drive my brother nuts as he can't stand Star Trek, or any sci-fi for that matter.

I've got so many wires in this place, half of em aren't connected to ANYTHING, but daren't move them in case something breaks down :shock: Oh what I would give for my very own Nerd :rose:
PS - Do Nerds also clean out gutters, go up ladders at xmas light time n drill things? 8-)
Only the rare breed of adventurer nerds. Those with stubble, whips and a hairy chest

Give me a geek anyday! :rose:
They are kind of on the list of people you shouldn't fancy but do.....
My experience is that we're on the list of people you should fancy, but don't in a lot of women's minds.
Well this woman's mind must be different from the women's minds you have experienced, 'coz this woman likes geeks and is not ashamed to admit it :D

Well, you can always get a fellow female Manc swinger to drive you down and you can share me...
In the wide world of dating, there are many options. Do you go for the flashy guy with the smooth smile, or the dude in the corner typing away on his laptop? The following are reasons why I think my fellow females should pay more attention to the quiet geeks and nerds, and less attention to the flashy boys.
1.) While geeks and nerds may be awkward, they’re well-meaning 9 out of 10 times. That smooth dude with the sly grin and the spider hands? Wonder what HIS intentions are... plus, I’ve never had a geek guy not call me when he said he would. Score major points THERE.
2.) They’re useful. In this tech-savvy world, it’s great to have a b/f who can make your laptop, desktop, and just about anything else that plugs into a wall behave itself.
3.) They’re more romantic than they’re given credit for. Ok true, their idea of romance might be to make up a spiffy web-page with all the reasons why they love you, with links to pics of you and sonnets and such... but hey. It lasts longer than flowers, plus you can show your friends.
4.) Due to their neglected status, there are plenty to choose from. You like ‘em tall and slender? There are plenty of geeks/nerds who are. You like ‘em smaller with more meat on their bones? Got that too.
5.) They’ve got brains. Come on now, how can intelligence be a bad thing?
6.) Most are quite good at remembering dates. Like birthdates and such, especially if they know it’ll make you happy. Due again to their neglected status, they’re more attentive than guys who “have more optionsâ€. Plus, with all that down time without a steady girlfriend, they’ll likely have mental lists of all the things they’d love to do once they GOT a girlfriend.
7.) Sex. Yep. Sex. I’m not really familiar with this myself, but I’ve friends who’ve been intimate with geek guys and it’s raves all around. They say a virgin wrote the Kama Sutra... all that time thinking about sex, imagining sex, dreaming about sex, (they are male after all) coupled with a desire to make you happy? Use your imagination.
8.) They’re relatively low-maintenance. Most can be fueled on pizza, Twinkies and Mt Dew. No complicated dinners needed here, so if you’re not the best cook, eh. Can you order a pizza?
9.) Most frequent bars as often as slugs frequent salt mines. You won’t have to worry much about your geek guy getting his “groove†on with club hotties because, frankly, he’ll be too busy rooting around under his computer wondering where that spare cable went. You won’t have to worry about him flirting with other women because, 9 out of 10 times, he’ll zip right by them in a perfect b-line towards the nearest electronics store. I’ve seen this happen.
Me: “Eww. Victoria Secret’s Models... They’re so skinny. How is that feminine? You can see her ribs!â€
Geek Guy: “ooooooo...â€
Me: “Hey!†*notices he is staring lustfully towards the computer store*
Geek Guy: “What?â€
Me: “Never mind...â€
10.) Although he may not want to go to every outing with you, you can arrange swaps, as in, you’ll go to his Gamer Con dressed as an elf princess if he’ll take you to the ballet. Plus, if he doesn’t want to go someplace with you, you won’t have to worry much about what he’s up to. You’ll probably come home to find him asleep on his keyboard in a sea of Mt. Dew cans with code blinking from the screen. It’s ok. He’s used to this. Just toss a blanket over him and turn out the light.
11.) His friends aren’t jerks. I can’t stress this enough. You’ll more likely get “Omg! A GIRL!! Can I see?!†than “Hey hot stuff back that ass up here and let me get some grub on...†They’re awkward geeks too and will, 9 times out of 10, treat you with the utmost respect and, more than likely, a note of awe. A cute girl picked one of their clan to date? It could happen to them! Hope! Drag some of your single girlfriends over, open up a pack of Mt. Dew, crack open the DnD set and get working. Nothing impresses geek guys more than a girl who can hack-n-slash (well ok maybe if she can code... a geek can dream).
12.) They’re rarely if ever possessive. They trust you, so you can be yourself around them. You like to walk around the house in a ratty t-shirt for comfort? He won’t care. He does too! They won’t get pissy if you don’t wear make-up or don’t want to bother primping your hair. If you gain a few pounds, they won’t try their best to make you feel like crap.
13.) They’re usually very well educated. Physics majors and the like. See #5. You won’t have to listen to him blathering on about his car (ok maybe a little), he’ll have loads of other interesting things to talk about. Politics, world events, how much the chicken burgers down at the local place rock, so long as you douse them in hot sauce...
14.) You’ll almost never have to hear, “Yaw dawg whazzap!!†plop out of their mouths. Unless it’s in jest. They spell properly, use correct punctuation, and are able to tell the difference between the toilet and the floor. They almost never get “wastedâ€, so you won’t have to worry about coming home to find him and his friends passed out on the floor amidst a pile of beer bottles. Mt. Dew cans, perhaps...
15.) And the final reason why geeks and nerds make great boyfriends: They actually give a damn about you. Not how you look (though that’s a plus), not how skinny you are, not how much make-up you primp yourself up with, but they like you for you. That kind of thing lasts longer than “DaMN baby you got a fine ass!!!†Believe me.

I'm useful, honest.
I can fix poorly 'puters and cook flapjack. I can cook other stuff too, but you won't want me to after you've tried my flapjack.
EDIT: Just realised that people may read this and get the impression my cooking skills are bad. They're not, it's just that my flapjack recipe is *that* good.

ok.. so any offers..?? we are Norfolk..... it would be like one of them old porn films, with the line " Oh how am going to pay for your services?"
Just a minute... is that why we have the cleanest windows in road...?
I'd be happy to pop round and help you out with your network setup.
Simple solution:
Require that every shop that wants to sell fireworks has to apply for a license, renewable every 5 years and a requirement of obtaining the license is to attend and pass a fireworks safety course.
Only allow fireworks to be sold during a very tight window surrounding Nov. 5th
Increase the fines issued to shops caught selling fireworks illegaly.
Make it illegal to sell fireworks to anyone not bearing a private display permit, obtainable from your local council, renewable every year and only issued once a firework safety course has been completed. Also, the organiser of said private display must plan in advance what fireworks he will use in said display and will only be allowed to purchase fireworks on said plan.
Set up a mystery shopper network consisting of both adults and children to randomly test any shop with a license. Any shop owner who sells a mystery shopper fireworks without the proper paperwork gets an immediate and permanent revokation of their license and receives the maximum fine.
