Being sick
I agree with Dan, I've tried playing runescape when I felt ill, didn't work out too well.

Investment Banking...
Firstly, make bullet points of the skills you have that apply to being successful in investment banking. Then, write a small paragraph about each, saying why you think that skill applies to investment banking. For example, working well as part of a team etc. Then you can form it around that.

I PK for...?
I have moved this thread to Questionnaires, as it seems more appropriate here. If you have any problems with this, please PM me. :)

HEROES SPOILER!!
It has definitely improved since the awful second and third series, in my opinion.

Worst Game You've Ever Played?
Need For Speed Shift for PC. I got the 'Black screen of death', and had to play it in Windows 98 mode. Which made it run awfully even with all the settings turned down. I have sold it now to a friend (he wanted it and tested it on his PC first, so I didn't rip him off). While it's not EA's fault, since they cant test every computer, the fact remains that I got a pretty bad glitch that prevented me from playing the game properly, and after spending £30 on it, I don't expect that. I'm sure it would have been a good game if it had worked properly, but it didn't, so for me, it's the worst game I've ever played.

Download Accellerators
I use DAP and it gives me pretty good results compared to other programs. I also use Orbit Downloader, but that isn't really an accelerator, more of a download manager.

Things your Parents made you do when you were a kid
They made me speak with a 'Received Pronunciation', or, talking posh. Didn't work though. Thank god.

Lemon Lucozade. Best drink ever.

Is this a good computer?
I'd consider Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit (since you said you are waiting for Windows 7).

Welcome to Invision Power Board!
The skin issue was discussed to death quite a few weeks ago. I assume that the admins will be looking for new skins at SOME POINT.

Congratulations :D

Pen pals?
My Girlfriend and I are quite a distance away, and we send letters to each other, so I guess that's kinda pen pal-ish (is that a word?) I have Friends from Peru, France, Bangladesh etc, and the internet is making it much easier to keep in contact with them :)

New iPods
Apple's Marketing division should be awarded. They sell and overpriced products with technology that is 1-2 years behind the industry standard and they still sell iPods like hotcakes. It has lackluster codec support and an awful music loading system, yet they seem to be the next best thing since sliced bread (not for me).

Sleeping.
I've been getting it recently too, but I had a massively long summer break (3 months, nearly 4) so I've adjusted to staying up late and waking up late.

Call of Duty: World at War
Definitely not me. I don't have a second account, except for the one I made when I lost the password to this one a while ago, which has since been deleted (I think). I haven't played Call of Duty WaW for a while now, since my Mum is using my Wii for her Wii fit game, so I've rigged up my TV to act as a second monitor.

The coolest teacher you've ever had?
The DT teacher I mentioned above let me do that :D he could see that the guy was annoying me, so I asked the teacher if he could make him stop (because I didn't want to make things worse), the teacher said he wouldn't do anything but if he didn't see anything he wouldn't ask questions :thumbsup: obviously I don't condone violence, but some people just deserve it.

The coolest teacher you've ever had?
My DT teacher was awesome. He'd let us just muck around during lessons (not good for our learning, but we were in year 9, not even thinking about our GCSEs). We would just get Wooden blocks and break them, drill holes in stuff for a laugh, and when the time came to hand in the final piece of work, He just gave everyone who hadn't done it a C. On the other end of the scale, my Food Tech teacher of the same year was an absolute disgrace. Besides hating my guts, everything I did was wrong. For one part of the project we had to make food in the style of another culture, and she put me under America, so I thought I'd go for dessert and do Mississippi mud pie. Took hours to make and prepare, and when I had finished it, she told me I'd wasted 4 hours of my life, without even tasting it. Luckily enough everyone else in my class loved it, so she was forced to give me a good grade. If she hadn't, I would have been talking to the Headteacher or my school's governing body about it. Funnily enough, my Sister was put in a form with that teacher as her form tutor.

New iPods
I'm a semi-Audiophile, so I don't really like iPods anyway. I think that adding a gimmick such as a video camera isn't going to improve the iPod in any way at all. Though I suppose the main demographic of the iPod nano is Teenagers, who would a camera just because it's there. I'm sure that many people who got the original iPod Nanos didn't think 'Hmmm.... I know what could really improve my iPod Nano listening experience, a little camera with a rubbish microphone'. Obviously, my opinions don't count for anything since I already have a firm dislike for anything Apple (besides Final cut Pro).

9/11 7 years later
This thread was made on September 11th 2008. I remember coming back from Swimming (I was 9) and hearing that the Twin Towers had been destroyed, but it didn't really cross my mind what had actually happened.

Real life pictures - 3
I live like 2.8 miles from the headquarters of 'The church of Scientology' in the UK, which was the world headquarters for the 1960s and 1970s. To be honest, the actual manor is quite nice, but I really don't like Scientology.

Virtual console ~~~~Wich system would you like to see in it?
Gameboy/Gameboy Colour would probably be one of the best consoles to go onto the Virtual console.
