Domino's Piri piri ad featuring mexicans

Domino’s recently put out an advert featuring a group of guys trying to eat Piri-Piri pizza only to be constantly interrupted by a bunch of musicians. The FAIL here is a cultural one in that the musicians are are supposed to be Portuguese but are dressed as Mexicans!

I agree its a shit advert but the Portuguese colours are red and green so it is culturally correct. Sorry.

@Mark: Just because the colours are correct doesn’t mean it’s right – they’re dressed liked mexicans irrespective of the colours.

GNU screen: open tab in current working directory|(1)

A nice trick for having screen open a new tab in the same directory as the one you’re currently in. To use it add it to your .screenrc

# Open new window in current dir.
bind c stuff "screen -X chdir \$PWD;screen^M"
bind ^c stuff "screen -X chdir \$PWD;screen^M"

Ubuntu: add-apt-repository: command not found|(2)

When you’re using a minimal Ubuntu install if you find the ‘add-apt-repository’ command is missing (it’s useful for adding PPAs and other repositories), then simply run:

sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
