The difference, in England at least, is that whining tends to imply a certain tone of voice; 'whine' tends to apply to the sound of whinging. By 'whinging' most Brits understand the same thing as Yanks do for 'whining', except whinging is the act of 'whining' without the accompanying tone of voice.

Whinging, if you appreciate the difference, is more of a criticism levelled at adults when they're complaining about something they perceive as important which is, in fact, not important; whining is something that children do when they can't have sugar-coated things.

also "arse" sounds like a total d-bag thing to say.

That's fucking ridiculous when you've just said 'd-bag'. Not even 'douche', but 'd'. If you're not using the language, we'll have it back you ungrateful shits.

i think house started around the same time as techno so i don't think you could call it derivative. you could say that they're both derivative of kraftwerk though probably.

If it was a Nintendo CEO, it would've been funnier.

pbradley · 11.03.2009, 07:28 PM

It would've been even funnier if violence in video games was still a major issue.

I'm sure you'd still be a humourless shit in either case.

Glice · 11.03.2009, 07:31 PM

Sorry, I just fancied typing that, there's no serious content to it.

Toilet & Bowels · 11.03.2009, 07:32 PM

that leads to a good question though, what makes pbradley laugh out loud?

Glice · 11.03.2009, 07:37 PM

I reckon Bradders is like a German. You know, you think they're all serious but they actually just find humiliating videos of people pissing off of buildings onto unsuspecting bystanders hi-lar-i-ous.

floatingslowly · 11.03.2009, 07:38 PM

stuffed kittens?

pbradley · 11.03.2009, 07:43 PM

Really? That video game joke is that precious? All I said, really, is that it's a bit dated because it is.
