Dark Empire - The Forgotten Sin

And the fact that Linux hates wireless more than just about anything I've ever used is ringing a few alarm bells here.

Strike Witches 2 and that's all. You guys?

Huh. My school was nothing like that at all. It wasn't the greatest by a long shot and of course there were annoying people, but to say they are ignorant and have no personality is rather shallow. So what if they do those things? I'm pretty sure we all did them (you included), so there's no need to act all high-and-mighty-I'm-so-much-smarter-and-better-than-everyone-else, buddy. Don't try to tell me that's not what you're saying, because it is. By complaining about them, you are just as annoying and immature - this isn't the first time I've seen a post like this from you either. I don't think you're any older than thirteen. You'll grow out of it.

Sort of this, really. England has a problem with immigration overall but when people target groups that do very little harm to the backbone, especially EU immigrants, it pisses me off to no end.

Alcest - Sur l'océan couleur de fer

I live in a small village just northwest of Great Yarmouth. It's kind of a picture of middle-class English life, which isn't a bad thing. It's quiet, the people are decent, the scenery is beautiful and it's safe. Even the Internet connections are exemplary for England here. I wouldn't trade this for anything.

Psycroptic - The Colour of Sleep Eat s**t, Gorod.

Second-hand, but my friend (who has seen PT three times) still can't make up his mind about whether or not they're a good live band.

When I played, I always used to get a nasty ache in my left arm for about two weeks after a heavy practice session/concert/etc. It eventually got so bad that I switched over to trombone and I've been ache-free ever since. I think it was my bad shoulder + heavy fourth valve action on mine. When you did play, was your 4th valve next to 3 others, or on the side? In high school, the school euphonium I used was like this one. [hide] [/hide] The one I use know for college has the fourth valve on the side like this. [hide] [/hide] Im starting to wonder if mabey there is something wrong with my hand. It is hurting very badly now... and it wont stop :unsure: One of these. Exactly the same as the model I played. It's pretty rare to come across one with all four valves in-line in England. Bands almost exclusively use 3+1. I haven't played brass in over a year though. I should probably get back into it sometime.

[hide] Dell case. Yeah.[/hide] Really, I have no idea what to say if it's anything like that. You probably can't switch it over easily, if at all.

I suffered with predjudice and bigoted attitudes quite a lot during school. My Asperger's is quite severe, and when I was (quite a bit) younger, I was very dependent on external help in order to overcome my difficulties in timekeeping and interaction. ...However, as I got older and my skills gradually improved and I found myself in less need of help. Much less need. However, people around me and teachers in particular were still convinced that I had to be reminded of everything at regular intervals and others would "dumb themselves down" in order to talk to me. It wasn't a good time in my life and it inevitably led to me leaving school prematurely, along with some other problems I was having at the time. It got better in my final year, but it was still pretty atrocious overall. I've been scared off both further education and work as a result. People don't really change. I briefly had a job helping out in my family's business earlier this year, but it was only for a few weeks. I also have bipolar I disorder, but that's for a different thread perhaps.

[hide][/hide] Yeah.

As do I. I don't really see the point in coming off as over-mature when I'm still pretty young - I stopped being obsessed with making myself look "mature" a while ago, because it didn't seem or feel right.

Have it. Was pretty severe in my childhood but manic depression is far more of a problem for me now. I still think it's pretty obvious to anyone online or offline, but there isn't that much point in trying to hide it. People find out, one way or another. It's not like it's a horrible thing all the time, either. I used to be pretty violent and self-absorbed but I haven't been like that for over six years. I think I just learned to handle it better. I've subconsciously curbed the obsessiveness too which is both a good and bad thing - can't really get involved with anything any more but at least I'm not obsessing over something stupid. I have no idea how I feel about people who use it as an excuse. I'm not offended or anything, it's nothing to get worked up over. It's debateable if those people actually have it or not and it's definitely over-diagnosed, but yeah. There's no doubt in my mind that I don't have it.

Agalloch - She Painted Fire Across the Skyline, Part 3

Still got to give that one a listen. Not really expecting much seeing as I don't really like Scar Symmetry as much as I used to, but hey. What will it hurt? I have no idea how BFMV is metalcore at all. Metalcore, in my mind, is Converge, Botch, Ion Dissonance, Perth Express... and so on. BFMV sounds like (these days) groovy power metal á-la Bodom is now, too.

Not a single mention of The Field in this thread (as far as I know). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YA9HTjthq0o

The UK is currently moving into increased Internet censorship. Have fun in China the UK. And so is the whole world. We are just the first to make a move. It's nothing new anyway, there have been plans to do this for years. Not to mention that the Conservatives are almost definitely going to get into power and probably make things a lot worse for us all. Stay in America. All of you take your [cabbage] for granted.

Are they still ripping off Children of Bodom and Insomnium? That made the last one alright. Grown out of that sort of stuff now though so yeah.

I remember watching that. It's funny in its own weird way but I didn't really think it was amazing or anything. Also, this week's K-ON!! is off the hook. I swear it takes a genius to make something this silly. This season is full of works of genius though. See Fumino whom I posted above and the president from Kaichou.

It's not even implemented here yet. ;_; Clare, are you with BT or something similar? I'm just curious as to how your service is. Most people out here are also on BT (I'm on Tiscali) and myself and them all seem to have the same set of issues: random lag, severe speed cuts during peak times (Youtube is unusuable between 6pm - 12am) and stuff generally not working as expected. Hardly any people are on my exchange so contention rate is absolutely no excuse. Some days, I'm able to hit 7Mbps download but most days it's around 4 and it can hit as low as 0.5Mbps. Unfortunately it's all we have out here but it's not acceptable.
