  1. Well when i first did it, i didn't know how good the 'getting money back' bit was, and you aren't guarenteed to get your money back from any of them, so in effect it is basically charity. But i think we can all agree that there's nothing wrong with charity. I think it's generally a good thing though. Like Moogleviper said, you can just donate the money you get back to another person and keep helping that way.
  2. I don't think you get interest no, so in that way it is not very Dragony.
  3. It only ruined it because he split it wrong.
  4. A couple of Skyrim videos.
  5. It turns out quite a few of the regulars are still here, they've just changed their names. Its fun trying to work out who's who.

     

    The PhD is in Fluid Dynamics. I'd go into it further, but it's not very interesting. Soon though i'll be called Dr bob, and i'll make everyone refer to me as Dr. I can't wait.

  6. These puns are all very good, I merlot-er down the joke scale i think, although I chardonnay what all the fuss is about.
  7. Absolutely. The other person i loaned to hasn't started paying me back yet, so i'm looking into flights over there to make then see sense. Going to be costly, but it'll make them all more receptable in the long run...
  8. There's a cider this thread that i don't really like.
  9. My friend brought my attention to this website where you can 'loan' people in poorer countries money, which they then use to fund their businesses, and eventually (supposedly) pay you back. I loaned a couple of people $25, and kind of forgot about it, not really caring whether i got the money back, thinking it would basically just be a donation to charity, and then i got an email today saying one of my loanees had started repaying me back! Right now i feel like Peter Jones or Duncan Banatyne (Deborah Meaden, not so much). Once they start paying you back, you can either wait until you have enough credit to make a new loan to someone else, or remove the money to paypal. http://kiva.org/invitedby/joseph3049 or if you don't want to be invited by me: www.kiva.org It's pretty badass.
  10. Carlos Tevez reminds me of Charizard; ignoring commands and making Ash look like a fool. He'll start obeying Mancini once he gains the relevant Gym badge. In other words, if Man City need to win some silverware to keep him.
  11. *Off topic* Juliette Lewis is craaaaaaaaaazy. *On topic* I have no problem when bands 'sell out'. In a lot of cases it makes the music more awesome when it's being used for cool adverts and shizzle. I can sort of understand musicians not wanting to lend their music to products/causes that they don't agree with though. I too would be pissed off if my music was being used to promote sweatshops or similar.
  12. We're not out of the woods yet yew guys, this thread could still be locked for having no real porpoise.
  13. Fixed. You'rewelcome.
  14. Yes surely the flaw in that film is that Kristen Stewart isn't the fairest of them all. I'm putting that on the IMDB 'goof' page.
  15. If you love bob, then you'll loooooooooooooove bob's 'tache! Currently 14 days into Movember, and i've just entered the creepy pedophile stage. Thank goodness for that, i thought it would never arrive.
  16. I decided about a year ago that my level of literature knowledge was rubbish, and that i should read through some of the classics. I had a look at the BBC big read list thingy, which has the top 100 books as decided by the public and set myself the challenge to read all 100, by which point i will have accrued all this knowledge of the classics, and be a whizz at every dinner party i go to. Unfortunately, it seems my taste in books differs somewhat from everyone elses. As i got through book after book, i found most of them really boring. I read about 35, and the majority of them I disliked. It got to the point where I dreaded picking up the next one, and I found i wasn't enjoying having a good read anymore. The shit hit the literary fan when i started Ulysses. Fuck me. I have no idea what that book is on about and i don't want to find out. I got through about 10 chapters and after that i changed my mind. I'm just going to read books that I like, and any snooty book snobs can bugger off. Currently I am reading through the entire Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan (and Brandon Sanderson) in anticipation for the final book in the series coming out in March. It's going to be AWESOME. After that, I have the Game of Thrones book ready to go, and another book by Brandon Sanderson, the Alloy of Law, which i'm looking forward to, as his Mistborn trilogy was really good.
  17. What a fantasmic idea! I think this song was the first song (in cassette from) i ever bought. If it is still going ahead, i will record a line or fo' definite.
  18. I'm not shear what the theme of this thread is, bough I want to join(ery) in. So I have to tree and come up with a fish based pun root now? I don't know any.
  19. You know when you missed a day of school through illness, and the next day when you come back, you have all this reading to get through and you feel like so much happened on the day you missed, and it's going to take you a whole week to catch up?

     

    Well i feel like that, only i've been gone for 2 years. It's surreal.

     

    I am currently doing a PhD, since i didn't want to go out and get a proper job, and it's going pretty well. No need to ask what your up to, since you have your own thread...

     

    I'm going to try and stick around alot more than i have been, although when i first joined i didn't really have anything else to do other than sit on N-Europe all evening, so i don't know how much time i'll get!

  20. Yes, the sands of internet time have not been kind to that thread...
  21. I don't think i will ever say Wowcher. The Haribo is without a doubt the worst advert for the past five years. Having said that, it starts like it's going to turn into a awesome horror movie. *Family turn up at deserted petrol station* *Family burst into awful song* *Lawnmower weilding maniac appears and hunts them all down one by one*
  22. Dude, this place has changed so mcuh, but in many ways, hasn't changed at all...

  23. As honoured as I am, my browser fucked up, my caption was actually for a picture four or five pages back....still it probably makes just as much sense for this pic too!
  24. What duck?
  25. I seem to remember way back when, a thread where people posted their Xmas trees, and someone posted a photo with their dad in it. And then the photoshopping began. And it was good. I'll have a look for a link, but i doubt i'll ever find it. EDIT: Well that was easy: http://www.n-europeforums.com/showthread.php?t=2802&highlight=post+christmas+tree
