AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! Out of all of Buckethead's songs, they didn't use soothsayer :( I mean Nottingham lace is awesome, but cmon... Soothsayer :wall: EDIT: Oh so it's not the real setlist, we still have a chance precious.

In all fairness, being a pmod wouldn't let you know about their criteria than anybody else. I've seen the pmod center, it has nothing in there that anyone wouldn't know with a little common sense. All I'm saying is if a number of people can get a bunch of pmod accounts within a fortnight by autoing, all with an average of 100 reports, Jagex can't have a very rigorous screening process. This makes sense considering their terrible customer support.

I know you would love to think you got pmod by helping people, being mature etc, but it doesn't work like that.

While because of the sheer amount of people your chances are small, there isn't as much to it as everybody pretends to know there is. I know a number of people with a number of level 3-20 pmod accounts, who just used a colour clicker to auto report level 3-10's in default clothing around yew trees etc. Jagex doesn't look at the way you type, they don't have time for that. I don't see why you would want to be a player mod anyway. If your friends look down on you just because you aren't, they aren't worth talking to.

My favorite by far was made by my uncle. He wrote it on the inside cover of a brilliant book he gave me called 'brave new world.'

Solidus_77 is right, it's more about the body language you use. If you pretend you don't care, you will look like a bigger idiot than if you acted embarrassed. You have to either be a pro with body language, or actually not care. I would be able to think of something on the spot, but the first things that come to mind now: Case A: You slip and completely fall off balance, giving yourself a nice face plant on the concrete floor, amidst a crowd of friends and strangers. What do you do next? I would stand up and throw my hands up calling "I'm ok!" Case B: You get caught staring at a woman's bust/man's region who you know and are confronted with: "WHY ARE YOU LOOKING THERE?" How do you respond? Keep staring and say "I think one's bigger than the other/moving by itself." Case C: You're walking in a cinema, and all of a sudden you try to go around an area and stupidly run into a barricade, and a group of teenagers repeatedly point and laugh at you. That happened to a friend a couple years ago who laughed it off. Depending on the situation I might just go talk to them. Case D: You're kissing a girl. (Assume this is your first time) Even though they have accepted the notion of love, it is very stiff and un-natural. An awkward silence follows. What do you do or say next? I would just keep it going, I'm never stiff or un-natural. (Ok maybe the first one.)

I'm Australian, but I've wanted Obama to be president from the start.

I've only been in 3 real fights. One was in grade 8, where I basically beat up some guy who started me. I was young and wanted to fight him anyway because he was a smart [wagon]. Another was in grade 10 when I stood up to a 12th grader for tackling younger kids over rocks in a game of football. After a bit of pushing I hit him twice, but then more than 50 people rushed him, punching and stomping the guy. He ended up concussed with a fractured eye socket and ankle. I felt bad about that one. The third one was at an open house this year with over 500 people, it had over 20 fights and half of them turned out into huge brawls with 50+ randoms swinging at randoms. I didn't want to get involved because of how dangerous it was, but some random guy was getting stomped and kicked on the ground by 10+ people for no reason, then he got bottled (which left him permanently blind in 1 eye) and I started swinging and pulling people off him. I was drunk and wasn't thinking, luckily I only got hit once and the group didn't turn on me.

When I played, I tanked there with 60 defense and could easily last as long as I had b2p tabs and bolts.

english, but a very old type of english. He actually invented his own language called Elizabethan.

English should be compulsory, we don't need any more illiterate morons. If you need it for your career or not, basic skills are needed because otherwise it brings society down as a whole.

I'm not into sports cars, when I get some cash and sell my little carolla in a few years I'm going to get a hilux which is the car I want. When I get rich I might consider a hummer, nobody seems to have them in Australia. Though I guess my style would be different then.

I only read the first 2 pages, but looking for insecurity and defensiveness in this topic is like looking for sand on a beach.

If you haven't, read my story, and bump for great justice. It also has some other replies from people who have had problems with the autralian emergency services.

Not quite. Since there are so many tiny little things to take care of, it's impossible to be perfect in all of them. Some sprinters are better at the explosiveness when stomping the ground, others have a quick start etc. The key to improving times, is to improve all aspects, not just 'do them'. Some people are just naturally quick without training, and some have good technique to give them the edge. It's about improving all aspects. Out of curiosity, what's your age and 200m pb?

Led Zeppelin is a band, not one person... My bad, it was like 6am. I'm such a non-morning person I drive to school on autopilot.

I wish I sold it last night, saw that everyone was buying for the max at 20.1m and wanted to sell for a profit of 8.2m but I'm capped and on dial up speed. I kept lagging out and eventually gave up. Next night, the mid price is now 18.4m and people are selling for as low as 10m on the forums. :roll: I'm now just going to hang onto it and hope the price doesn't go below what I paid for it.

I came into this thread expecting "STAIRWAYSTAIRWAYSTAIRWAY" but people seem to recognize his other songs. I would have to go with black dog.

Before a 100m race I load up on carbs, and start warning up an hour before. I need to finish practicing my starts at least 20 minutes before the race so I have all my atp-pc, which only lasts 10 seconds. I have to stretch every muscle well, but be sure to not overstretch. I need to do deep breathing to relax my muscles and mind. Visualizing myself getting a quick start and sprinting ahead of everybody else over and over again is also very important. I drink some red bull to get my heart beating quicker, but not too much because it can make my body use a higher glucose to atp-pc ratio which will slow me down. When I race I have to push the butterfly's out of my stomach, get on the blocks and position myself to get maximum power forward when I push off. Before the gun I time my start for when I think it might be exactly on the gun, If I false start it gives me an advantage anyway because if anybody else false starts they are disqualified. I do this because even If I don't get the head start, it gives me a slight advantage as people might hesitate before leaving the blocks, and If I don't then somebody will do it to me. I hold my breath before the gun, and concentrate on exactly what my body is doing for that half of a second out of the blocks. I keep my body down so my center of gravity is low, which lets me accelerate quicker. I have to make sure my arms are pumping properly, and that I am stomping the ground and putting everything I have into the acceleration. I make sure I am forward and low enough to accelerate quickly, but not so much I fall over. It's an extremely narrow 'sweet spot' that changes with the track, weather, wind etc. When I judge that I am at my maximum speed I am upright and resisting the urge to look at anybody else, concentrating on being relaxed, making sure I get the perfect ratio of how long my stride is relative to how quickly I can get my foot on and off the ground. I force all the air out of my body so it stays tight, but relaxed. What my arms, hands and fingers, neck jaw shoulders and chest are doing is very important, and that's before perfecting what is happening with my legs. At 80m I dig deep and push as hard as I can, burning up the tiny amount of atp-pc I have left. At 98m I thrust my upper body forward to slice off a little extra time. If I don't do all of these things perfectly, I run from anywhere between 0.03-0.3 seconds slower. 0.1s is often the difference between first and last. You don't get that kind of time window anywhere else. That's just the basics, and a 200m race is a hell of a lot more complicated than a 100. The training is also complex, seeing as we have 3 energy systems that needs to be perfected at a certain ratio for each event with many weeks of training. The order and time of the year of each training exercise is also important. That's half the reason why a trainer is necessary. It's a little more than "just running faster." (I'm home sick and had nothing better to do than type all that out :? ) Anyway, since every single tiny detail can make a difference it get's pretty complex. 2 years ago, 0.02s was the difference between me going to state and not. Two hundredths of a second made the difference.

I wish I was that way. What's your secret? No real secret, I just always have something on really. 20 odd hours of work a week on top of school, plus I go out with friends a fair bit. On the weekdays If I'm not at school or work I'm doing schoolwork or out somewhere. On the weekends I'm usually out partying etc, or doing last minute assignments. Then I have a little extra time for msn, forums etc. Oh and I have training 3-4 times a week too. (I'm a sprinter)

I'm never bored really, if anything I need more time.

Counting cards is simple, it just takes practice. I learned about it before the whole 21 thing, but didn't get especially good at it.

And then he was all like, "Oh yeah, I'm Fijian that's why."

I've had a few experiences where I've gotten out lucky. One time I got electrocuted, the electricity went in and out on my back on either side of my heart. Went to a doctor and I was fine besides the scars and burns, but got told I'm lucky to be alive. Another time I was in the car at night with a couple mates, and the driver got a bit stupid and started doing fishtails at around 70-80kpm. Car lost traction, went into a ditch, and up the side of a driveway, got air and started turning, landed and somehow got control. Went back in the morning to check it out and we missed a power pole by less than a meter, and a concrete thing that would have totaled the car by about 10cm. It happened really quick and was at night, but from the looks of the tyre marks I would have directly hit the pole. Amazing thing is everybody was fine, and the only damage to the car was the front bumper and 2 popped tyres. We have a dangerous corner near our house, the road is narrow and you can't see anything because the bush comes right up to the road. Someone coming around the opposite way at the same time as us was moving a bit too fast and wasn't on their side of the road. They slammed on the brakes and started sliding, my dad gunned it and swerved and we somehow didn't get hit on the side. Thinking back I don't know how we didn't get hit. Another time was my fault. Came up to an intersection near my house, but the sun was in my eyes and the windscreen was dirty so I couldn't see much. Swore nobody was there, but I nearly got T-boned at 90kph. Lucky the intersection was wide and nobody else was there, so the guy had room to swerve and I just had to brake. If I ever crash my car it's probably going to be at that intersection.
