How to get rid of kids this halloween?
I think a supersoaker would work well, maybe without the petrol and such though...

I'm back.
Heh, i remember him, he posted lots of..."interesting" ideas about scimitars and the such, usually ended in flaming. Glad to hear you're reformed, but maybe start by posting this somewhere else?

Blogging = Suspension for unfortunate students
Oh wonderful, yet another way to pointlessly try and protect the frankly idiotic few who try and meet up with people they've met over such places, where the majority just use it for safer purposes. Prevention may be the ultimate cure, but surely this is over the top?

What movie(s) did you last see?
You've seen House of Flying Daggers and Hero aswell? Those two are very good too! ARGH!!! I forgot to record Crouching Tiger on Sunday! I'd already seen it but wanted to watch it again after watching House of Flying Daggers and Hero to see how it compares, i can't remember much of it.

Brushing Your Teath
Here in the UK, twice a day, with mouthwash. I had braces for about 6 months, but other than that (touch wood) no fillings or anything.

Apple sued over Nano 'faults'
It depends on the degree of scratching. When i got my pristine new iPod i was naturally horrified when i saw the first few signs of scratching, but now i'm not too bothered, you notice them less and less, it's only natural, and as long as it doesn't affect the quality of the music it doesn't bother me one bit. However, if on the nano, the screen was breaking so easily that it must have been a design flaw, then i don't see why they shouldn't refund the cost, but if it was simply clumsiness on behalf of the owner then they shouldn't.

Ipod Owners - Do You Actually Buy Songs From Itunes???
I've had my Ipod about 3 weeks now, and so far i have 1476 songs on it purely from my own cd's, and friends and family's. I might buy some off iTunes when i want the odd song, but if i want a cd, often i'll just buy it from a shop.

What movie(s) did you last see?
Watched Batman Begins last night. It must have been good because afterwards i had a sudden urge to wear a black cape, learn ju-jitsu and jump around on the roof, but instead i thought "sod it, it's raining, i'll save the world tomorrow"...*ahem* yes well anyway, back onto the film! I must say i was very impressed with it all, the flashbacks all came at the appropriate time, it was suitably dark, and the plot was in fact believable. Chrtistian Bale gave a very good performance, and i must credit him for making his voice so much different when he became Batman. Good acting as well from Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman and Katie Tom-Cruise's-fiance-lucky-person Holmes. Special effects and stunts were great as well. A well deserved 9/10.

The last few minutes of that song is fantastic. Sweet child o' mine - Guns n' Roses, especially the solo.

Any Hip-Hop/Rap listeners?
I didn't know he made any songs that meant anything. :roll: And btw, 50 cent has a bulletproof car, I believe.. how gangsta is that? :o Ahahaha! Having a bulletproof car doesn't mean your gangster, it means alot of people hate you. And I thought maybe one song made sense by 50 cent... but now that I think of it no songs by him mean anything. Guess I was pretty tired last night. I hope you recognized the sarcasm in that post... There is it :lol:

What movie(s) did you last see?
In the end everything revealed itself, too bad you couldn't follow it. :( Anyway, we wanted to see it on wednesday, but we scrapped it for another movie. I got it in the end :P I just got slightly lost about three quarters in. I hear A History Of Violence is really good, i like Viggo Mortenssen as an actor, it's a shame he hasn't been in more major films since Lord Of The Rings. Speaking of which....i'm finishing rewatching The Fellowship of the Ring tonight, the special extended version. No matter how many times i watch those films (quite a few) they never seem to get old. Timeless. :)

Google Maps - What can YOU find?
Here This guy built his own version of Google Earth, but that's not the point. He also zoomed in on lots of cool places with direct links to them. They're all halfway down the page(ish). Also where i live (Leeds, the UK) there is an exhibition in the city millenium square, with lots of very large photos taken with google earth, of the most spectacular shots they could find. Some of the things really are breathtaking, but i can never seem to find them when i try :(

Songs That Touch a Nerve..
I felt the By the Way album had less songs that touch a nerve than the Californication album, although i still think the By the Way album was fantastic, it was less spiritual. However the guitar opening from "Can't Stop" still raises hairs on the back of my neck, every time :) But from that album Don't Forget Me is a classic.

Do you lock your doors? (aka. trust the outside world?)
I live in the UK and don't have a burglar alarm... Ditto. Really? Driving around nowadays in Leeds you hardly see a house without one, and all those new Barrat style houses all come with them as standard.

What movie(s) did you last see?
I really enjoyed that film, although i find it got slightly hard to follow towards the end. I thought it was a great piece of acting from Jim Carrey though, nice to see him in a different role to his norm.

Anyone else like to workout?
I used to despise running, loathe it, i was never bad, just never very good. However over the summer i was out on my bike a lot doing fairly intensive rides. I built up a high level of stamina which seems to have transferred into my running at school. I'm going to try and keep this up over the winter by running (too cold for cycling), and hopefully will remain one of the best at running in my year (since coming back). As for "working out" i don't do anything too heavy, but i have some 1kg and 3kg handweights that i'll workout with, as well as a chest-expander, which i'm still unsure about. I might try the school gym when i get a chance, but i'm mega busy at school at the moment.

Do you lock your doors? (aka. trust the outside world?)
but i am jackie chan :twisted: isnt jacki chan chinese? or is he japanese? katanas are japanese swords. i meant use the katana against robbers, not the hicks with shotguns. robber sneaking around wont expect someone lying in bed to slash him with a sword. probably id just freak and let him take all my stuff though :lol: still is cool thinking about what i could do :twisted: If he is unarmed all you need is to say hi to him and he/she'll run out of the house. Thieves don't generally go in for confrontations, and if they do they'll be armed, so your katana won't be much good. A burglar alarm is just good sense, it would ve VERY unusual if a house here in the UK didn't have one.
