Welcome to Defenders of the Mirth.
Follow our intrepid adventurers as they discuss and explore such topics as music, TV, films, current events, comics, technology and literature.
From the sage like wisdom of Johnny K (intertree), to the downright bizarre rants of James S (AboveAverageJay), via the scientific knowhow of Benjamin S (cosmicstresshead).
You’ll laugh, you’ll cry and hopefully come out the back end a little bit entertained.

Hey defenders,
The above comment was a reference to Mr Conn, a Mancunian supply teacher Johnny and I had in second year of grammar school.
He had some phrases which caught on like the virulent memes they were, like the fairly standard “Do as I say, not… as… I… do” and “2C!! SHUT UP!!” to the amazing “You’re skating on very skin ice, boys” which was funnier at the time than it is written down.
He had a fiancée called Gillian, of whom he spoke often and was a character in some not inconsiderable amount of classroom artwork which was passed around, some of which I managed to dodge getting into a bit of trouble for.
My point, you ask?

Defenders of America
Defenders of the Mirror

Aha Defenders!
My cunning plan succeeded. By bookmarking some interesting links using delicious and tagging them under defendersofthemirthideas I got you to reference my name! My audio scanner was able to lock on to the Bppaul keyword and send me your broadcasts.
You can’t stop the signal!
It has been scanning ever since your payment bounced on the fuel I supplied you with for your transport to the space station! You said your credit was good and you promised my hardlight forecourt frequent visits!
After going back through the transmissions i discovered that you’ve been experiencing problems with the station, that’ll teach you for using anything but BP! I’m surprised that thing hasn’t fallen out of the sky yet!
You’ll pay for that fuel Defenders!!!

Hey Defenders,
To comment on the actual show, for a change, I have to concur MOST WHOLEHEARTEDLY that the demonstration we watched of Windows Phone 7 made my eyes bleed with its endless and hideous list of clumsily aligned blue square tiles. It looked an early myspace page.
I think Windows Phone 7 would really be better off going the way of Touchflo (although the default Touchflo interface on the Touch Pro Diamond drives me scatty). I’m not a massive fan of the iPhone’s interface of “here’s a list of separate and uncategorised apps”, but it looked better than the demo we saw.
More research must be done.
What also turned my stomach was the way the presenters were creaming themselves over the “beauty” of the interface. I wonder was it an android phone and the Windows Phone was CG’ed over the video.
They’ll probably make it good soon. Fingers crossed.
