  1. Thanks for this advice, although the sportsware job opportunity went quicker than I imagined I'll still be looking. Nevertheless this is a lot of great info you've given, a lot more than expected (then again, I didn't know what to expect). So thanks for this as it should be really useful!
  2. First question: Inbetween revising for exams, I've found my first possible job at 16 at a sportsware shop not too far from here. I'm just wondering what to expect, do I show off my personality traits? They haven't specified what sort of job it will be until I go there so what do I write in my CV (resumé)? Some advice would be great!
  3. Warning: bit of a gory story Well for some reason when on holiday in Italy with familly; I tripped over on some stairs in Pomeii and somehow managed to rip of a chunk of flesh off my big toe. It was hanging off a bit of skin still attached to my toe. I was so confused how this was even possible that I just laughed. By the way, it wasn't as bad as it may seem; I didn't need to go to the hospital and my body sorted the problem out within three days.
  4. Well, I've got in it: - a stereo and a load of CDs that my parents don't need anymore. - a PS2 and TV along with about 2 dozen games and whatnot. - a whole lot of books - some posters including "Keep Calm and Carry On" (now a bit of an over used meme), the London tube map (which is also useful for days out) and the Season 3 Bleach main characters. - an awesome lamp - a Mac from 2005 (which can't even run Chrome), a Lenovo thinkpad (Not Bad), and a titan of a Toshiba Laptop. - A bed (single) - 10, this is hard for a small room - a copy of Hokusai's "The Great Wave" - a framed cover of one of the Animerica magazines (this one with "Spirited Away" on the front.) And a window and that's about it. So yeah!
  5. To be honest, what does it matter? (At least on the internet) There's a lot worse stuff out there and what people think about when pleasing themselves shouldn't really consern us. I don't want you know what people are thinking in that situation, do you? So don't worry, because oppessing peoples thoughts has a certain name to it. It's called a lack of free speech!
  6. It's just been Sleeping Dogs for me and it's the first properly mature game if ever properly played and the story's pretty decent. Also the action is mad and brilliantly violent (never thought I'd say that.) It's also been free at the moment on Xbox Live Gold as part of the "Games with Gold." A friend of mine has also left round the first Assassin's Creed and Borderlands 2 but I've been too busy playing Sleeping Dogs!
  7. In Soviet Russia, prostitutes pay you!
  8. It's not just wierd fandoms which do this. Most people would view another group of people for the out of the ordinary stuff about them. For example, you are not likely to remember Indians for their vibrant culture and beautiful country, you would probably think of them working at call centres or their broken English. Going off topic, furries are great people (I should know, I'm one of them*) and you shouldn't hate on them just because their fandom gets featured in proper video games or whatever. *Cockiness is for comedic effect.
  9. noun: 女王, クィーン, 王妃, 皇后, 后, 后妃 I've got this from learning japanese kanji. Can you guess what the word is in English?
  10. [Warning: Explicit Post Below] Two main things have been annoying me recently. The first being f***ing fedoras worn stand alone. The premise of wearing a fedora is to get a vintage look and feel to how you look. If you just wear it by itself, you're defeating the purpose of using it to look stylish. Worst of all, you look like a twat and you're bring the sofistication of the fedora down with you. Just. Please. No. The other thing is American English spellings. I understand that different spellings and words are used generally as part of the diversities of different countries, but when there's language settings stating American English is the main type of english, No. NO. You shouldn't have that power. It's our f***ing language so give us the recognition. Doesn't help when this is an American forum and fandom. Goddammit, I should just become a massive Whovian and get news from the local newspaper. (I don't know, it's a rant.)
  11. I dunno. I don't really care too much any more. I post when I can and when I'm in the mood and bothered. I'm probably better known than I think I am but it's really hard to tell on a forum. That goes saying for most of the others on the thread. Even though people may not interact with you that much or at all, it doesn't mean they don't notice you.
  12. I think what they meant was at close range. For example if someone were to try to mug you, it would be a lot easier to avoid a knife being swung than a gun being shot, logically. One can only stab as far as the arm can reach; if they were to throw the knife, it would be a different matter which I don't know much about. A gun can be used up to a lot further as of the bullet being able to travel a lot futher depending on the gun.
  13. Type 52.376552, 5.198303 into Google Maps. I dare you.

      There probably isn't anything there now but it might be worth a look if it's close enough.

      If you want to risk it...

      meh, there's no risk at all i think. i mean, why would they come at me if i'm just randomly walking around? also, it would be the first time i'll be on a crime scene so that should be pretty cool XD

  14. Well for a start, almost everyone's Asian!!! And not oriental Asian, the Indian/Pakistani/Bangladeshi/etc Asian. It's certainly made my life interesting, being a White English boy with no religion. It does make it harder to fit in, but it's part of me, I guess. The social system is one of circles. Depending of what form class you started in/primary school/if you like football (european version to clarify.) There aren't any bullies in our school, suprisingly. Though there's plenty of know-it-all arseholes who'd greet you with a 'what.' I'd fit into the 'Hipster' group but I get along with most people. My mates and I, like US drama, geeky stuff and going to the local corner shop at lunch to get meal deals. Oh wait! *gasp* . I've revealed too much. *Leaves*
  15. You're not the only one. I got it in a Secret Santa at school, last year and I felt the same way. It's still funny to tell others.
  16. Hey, did anyone else notice that they left the crocodile tied up with the almost unbreakable plant. Poor croc. :'( (It presumably got freed in the end but for how long was it stuck there?!)
  17. LOVED IT!!! It was quite a complicated cannon about the elements, though. I'm quite interested to know how children found it. I didn't completely understand the the old elements of harmony but it is midnight here. Twas a fantastic return!!
  18. Well if you've got the money to get there, it's well worth your time. The wildlife is unbelievable, with even just Kangaroos being a common as foxes. Also, the food there, in Sydney inparticular, comes from all over the world. Last time I went was back in 2008 so I don't remember the food to well but I remember the ice cream was exquisite. Sorry if I went on a bit too much.
  19. For me it's pretty much all White British. Not too interesting except that I'm 1/8th Australian. I think one of my ancestors was on the first few ships to Australia, before they started sending criminals but that's about it.
  20. Well I'd to say hello, although I kind of already did in your status update though I'm not sure if I was that clear that I like the idea of meeting up. By the way a thread like this is likely to get locked so you should probably go to http://mlpforums.com/topic/6168-mlp-forums-meetup-map instead if you want to ask more people.

    Elevator

    Joking! Here's a crowbar from my back pocket.
  22. I'm mostly left handed but I use my right hand a bit at convenient times like learning the guitar. Two of my best friends are also left handed which is also quite interesting but also not as well.
