  1. Everyone here is basically saying "Guns kill people, America sucks!" "No, no guns kill people, (mostly) the UK sucks!"

     

     

     

    But I believe that people will kill people no matter what. HOWEVER, guns make it alot easier to kill people. Whether you're defending yourself or attacking someone else.

  2. If you're desperate for things too do, then you could come to Leicester.

     

     

     

    We've got a pretty good collection of museums and stuff if that's your bag. And we have the "International Space Center" that is just awful.

     

     

     

    There's probably a full day of entertainment here though, if you don't mind alot of ridiculously awful people.

  3. If it comes up in college then I'll talk about it, but I don't go out of my way too bring it up all the time. I know a few people in my college that do play though, through little hints they've let slip.... :P

     

     

     

    The most interesting thing about this thread is how shocked everyone is that this teacher played Runescape. You have to remember that teachers are people too. When you know that it's easier to talk to them.

     

     

     

     

     

    Like, one of my old science teachers, we used to go out and go to gigs together. Good times....

  4. Going clubbing of course.

     

     

     

    This is the UK, it's any excuse for going clubbing if you're want to such things :D

     

     

     

    As for fireworks, they do my head in! I live in a spinney (small wood) and all that happens is damn little kids come and set them off, all the time.

     

     

     

    Once one of them blew 2 his fingers off and I laughed at him :-$

  5. Surpisingly what poopingman said is far too true. (Even with a name like poopingman... :P Just kidding.)

     

     

     

    It seems like the general opinion is here "Don't do this, then you won't live as long." But I ask you, who wants to live forever? All the joys of old-age await those that do not live there life too the full. Arthritis, loosing control of your bodily functions, watching everyone you know your whole life die around you.... That's if a disease that you can do nothing about, even with your organic fruit and veg lifestyle, doesn't kill you first.

     

     

     

    I enjoy smoking occasionally. Drinking is fun for me. Drugs not so much, but I will at least try something before criticising it (This doesn't stick for "hard" drugs such as heroin. I've had too many friends die in awful circumstances to have any good opinions towards these.)

     

     

     

    It's getting on my nerves how a big group of people who have never experienced these things will tell me I'm killing myself, when I'm fully aware of that and yet I continue to do it because I enjoy it.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Anyway, on topic: The guideline ages are there too show people that maturity is needed before making these decisions. As long as you're doing it for yourself and feel you're ready then it's fine. But don't (as many others on this thread have already said) let other pressure you into it.

  6.  

     

     

    Friends on your teamloot should be able to see your deathpile right away, while other people have to wait 60 seconds in order to see the pile.

     

     

     

    1) This assures most/all of your items will be picked up by teammates

     

    2) Random people cant just run in and lure boss monsters and hope for people to die, and then steal there stuff right away.

     

     

     

    I think this addition would solve 99% of the problem, if not make it 10x better than it was before. Not to mention it would further encourage people to use the teamloot options.

     

     

     

    I agree with you on this one :thumbsup:

    I third that motion. It's going too be such a pain at DK's and GW now, because you tend to die when you're running low on supplies, so people will not have enough food left to stay there and get your stuff with. :(

  7. Euromillions' results so i could have a better life for my 'present' me.

    Snap!

     

     

     

     

     

    Also "spend more time with Liam (insert last-name here). He's going to die of a heroin overdose in a few months so get every second with him you can. He's the most interesting person you'll ever meet and you'll miss him like hell when he's gone"

     

     

     

    Made myself all sad now, R.I.P Liam

  8. I'm feeling fantastic thankyou.

     

     

     

    Because: I just had a fantastic dinner, I love my new college, I'm meeting up with some close friends that I haven't seen for ages soon, everything is fantastic with me and my girlfriend.

     

     

     

    Honestly, the list is endless.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    I owe it all too my life philosophy: Live with it or die.

     

     

     

    It works because I don't fancy dieing, so I live with it! \'

  9. Most of the time I stick with bitters and ales.

     

     

     

    Pretty much anything is fine by me in that category, but keep that blonde crap away.

     

     

     

     

     

    If I want to get nicely drunk though (Oh noes! He must be an idiot to spend time enjoying his life the way he wants to live it!!!!1!!1111!!) Then I'll drink golden tequila (Jose Cuarva for preference) and K Cider.

     

     

     

    Swedish pear ciders are nice on a warm evening though....

  10. Since my teenage years I have always had some trouble getting up in the mornings, as teenagers do. Over the summer I began working part time on some evenings and weekends, and now that i'm back at college, it's hard to keep up with a 15 hour day which is mostly occuiped by one form of work or another.

     

    And so, i've started taking Pro Plus to help keep myself awake. It's working fine, they're 50mg caffeine tablets, I take 2 when I feel I need them. I'm wondering if anyone knows of any bad side effects or anything I should stray away from? I also don't wanna become dependant on caffeine, lol...

     

    thx!

     

    You don't want to become dependent on caffeine but you bypass coffee and take caffeine in pill form?

     

     

     

    Just do what I do and totally bypass anything more solid then a powder.

     

     

     

    I live a lifestyle of clubbing, and for some of the nights it's either caffeine or pills. I don't particularly fancy pumping my body full of MDMA, so I choose to take pure medicinal caffeine.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Probably really bad for me, but I enjoy it.

  11. I think everyone is missing the key point here.

     

     

     

    He said such cases are rare, especially when they involve a woman. "We see it the other way around, where the father's abusing the daughter way more frequently," Poland said.

     

     

     

    In relating the facts, Poland said that several months after the woman split up with her husband, she began visiting her sons at his home. This lasted for several years until the ex-husband began to suspect she was drinking, and he reduced the frequency of her visits.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    This is so very important, that they had to get a whole country in to investigate.

     

     

     

    But why pick Poland? It's not known for it's frequent incest charges is it? :-w

  12. Seriously, you all work so hard!

    see, you all work waaaaaay too hard. :shock:

  13. Oh snap, you did not start this:

     

     

     

    I'll post the ones I can find pictures of, I'm not going to explain the rest to you though.

    Can't find the rest, they're all too rare for google.

     

     

     

    I need to get some new shoes, any suggestions on what to get?

  14. Here in Canada, we have had the exact same thing for about 5-6 years now. After the initial shock, people will get used to it, and not care anymore. It's such a nice law.
    Yeah, isn't it great? :)

     

     

     

    That's one of the things I noticed most when I went to England (twice)

     

     

     

    People smoke EVERYWHERE. Some restaurants were too smoky me to even go into.

     

     

     

    Seriously, go to France. You wouldn't believe how many people smoke in France. My dad lives there and you just can't go anywhere without the smell of smoke.

     

    I'm a social smoker, but I don't want the smell everywhere!

  15. Probably like 1 pair of shoes, because that's ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã150 in the UK, which is not really much at all.

     

     

     

    So for about ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã100 I'd but some trainers, because I like trainers, then the other ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã50 would probably go on clubbing.

     

     

     

    God, I waste so much cash!
