Rummy

I was meant to quote this earlier to point it out as an excellent idea masked in humour, pub jenga is the fucking shit! Though I've only ever done it once. I felt a bit weird after, cos it felt so awkward and wrong at first but I kind of enjoyed it.

Stop the presses newspaper making ladypeople, I have arrived in this thread thanks to a friendly visitor wall message dealio from the ReZinald. I've been pretty dead on the boards/Gen ChitChat recently, only actually come on to maintain the telephone lines and make sure there's no service faults. I...am unsure, actually. I can't speak for Marcamillian, though I can probably speak TO Marcamillian, so who knows, I might just use this wordmachine the good lord put on my face and do that, or the wiggledealies at the ends of my appendages through internet based wonders. Location! I'm not too keen to head too far from London around this time actually with it being christmas and me needing to be about to see people doing things in places and stuff who are home cos of the green trees and white rain, the only exception being Birmingham cos I can get there well cheap, easy, maybe find somewhere to stay, and I've done the journey loads before. St.Albans, I can try to make also, especially if my mate hasn't bopped back home by then, though he might have, in which case I'll likely still try and make it. This time earlier hopefully too cos I don't(hopefully) have to fuck about recovering any drunkenly lost wallets. What exactly are you trying to say here though, Rummy? Well, I'm trying to say...I don't think I know. Put me down as a maybe, like those motherfunks on facebook like to do. I'll have conversations of a non-relevant nature with some people, then maybe come back here when I'm bored of their company.

Aww, don't I get one too? Please?

Hmm, no new signups, sadface. Oh well! Order of play is going to be like this; 1. ReZ 2. Dannyboy 3. SPAMBOT4000 4. Diageo 5. Chairdriver 6. MoogleViper 7. jayseven 8. Jimbob 9. Paj 10. Marcamillian Leaving you a message ReZ!

Ok guys I have to go out soon so I don't yet have time to draw my picture to start things off but I should be back home tomorrow and will get the new one running then, nice to see so many people on board! I see a fresh face in chair, too! Remember to tell everyone to join in, they can get involved any time!

Ok, starting out the Forum Telephone afresh! Might have to do this every few games to root out the slackers and droppers. Tell all your e-forum friends, we need more people to make the game more awesome(ha, as if that was even possible!). Post in this thread to signup to the new and all future games! Don't worry if you wanna drop at a later date, just let me know, or if you recieve a PM and don't wanna play, just forward it onwards . For those unawares, here's how it basically works. You recieve a PM with a picture and a caption from the person before you, both independant of each other. You then draw a picture for the caption and write a caption for the picture. The picture can be in any image editing program(even a crude thing in paint is brilliant enough) or a paper drawn one scanned/photo'd in. Once done, you forward these both(caption and picture) along in the same PM to the next person in the line, as well as CCing it to me, cos then I have them all and when the game is done I put them in a pretty post for everyone to see. Still confused? Look below all this for previous, 100% actual genuine N-Europe forumtelephony! Once you've sent your PM to the next person, it's generally accepted that you post here with some witty phone related repartee, just so all other participants can see that the game is moving along. Oh yeah, you also only have 72 hours to get done, preferably alot less than that(and this limit might lower in future) cos otherwise the games move too slow and everyone gets impatient and angsty and annoyed and filled with rage, or at least I do anyway. If I do not recieve your PM within 72 hours of received the last person's, I shall forward the previous PM to the next person, if that makes sense. Past Games!

This'd actually be pretty amusing, I imagine. I love the ridiculous things they used to say on blind date. I await hilarity, Cillabot4000! Though I probably shan't participate for lack of time and wit.

Hmm, I wasn't sure about downloading Vista and that, bit wary of downloading a whole OS from a non-official source, and I wasn't aware that downloading from the latter was possible. A little flip as I read and the label says; Windows Vista Home Premium OEMAct Acer Incorporated Shed any light on what sort I'd need to procure? Surely there must be somewhere to get official OS discs...

Um...yeah, Dyson PM'd me two days ago, gonna get this stuff up tmw morning hopefully and then I shall post a new thread for new signups from new people for new forum telethings in a brand new way(only kind of like in the totally original old way we're doing it anyway) and stuff yesh. I shall post all this thread's games in the first post of the new one as examples of how stuff goes and because we are so amazing I think I don't want to not have anything we awesomely did in our awesome ways because we are all so awesome probably so much so that we are more awesome than the rest of n-europe i am sorry n-europe but that is actually maybe just the truth. A few years in the future...the telephone call finally arrives! One of these might just have to be my facebook status for a while...I'm looking at you, Dyson. Game F: "His least favourite time was 11:59" At 11pm Batman turns emo Batman's possessed clock had successfully goaded him into killing himself "Can't talk now, Robin, it's silly o-clock and I'm busy pulling my bladder out tongue-first" Robin told Batman exactly where to shove his gay frying pan. Game G: 'OH MY GOD IT'S A FUCKING DUCK!' Pope claims birds using condoms is what caused bird flu. "The Pope announces that angels should be avoided as their wings may carry the avian flu." The pope decided to ban wings, which meant a bird plummeted to it's death, but the angel didn't listen even though he had B.O. Bishop wings don't do justice for the effect of a bad smell. I also love how a manky condom turned into an angel wing. That is why I love N-Europe.

I considered Windows 7, but it's firstly more money I don't have, and also I'm wary after Vista of ending up with another heap of shit. I keep hearing it's better and it's not that bad etcetc, but as I said with the extra cost, I'd rather stick with XP which I know and love, or Vista for the fact I already have it. My only problem with that is of course getting it over if I put a new drive in, I've not actually tried the recovery discs, but when I boot into the recovery partition thing(alt+f10) it comes up with the Acer recovery console and gives me the option of the original partition backup, or using the discs, and I wonder if recovery discs would essentially just boot that up off the recovery partition, or their own version. I might look into it, though I'd have to have a think how. I guess I would like to start afresh on a new drive really, but I just wouldn't know how to get Vista across if the recovery disc option doesn't work(I only have Acer's software to make the discs with, as far as I can tell). Hmm, I realise they're pretty lowend, being the cheapest, but then I was thinking I wouldn't notice things being too bad, really. Having having a look through device manager it seems I have a Toshiba MK1234GSX drive inside already, and I can't notice much difference in the specs between them from what I've googled, so other than brand performance I'm thinking I won't notice alot of difference anyhow.

Average of faces, probably. There's been a few face experiements I've seen where they get like 100 faces or so and average them all together into one face, and that face is generally seen as rather attractive. Obviously being mixed race isn't such an extreme dilution, but I think there's evidence to show there's still an effect between a mix of small numbers, compared to like...none. I saw nobody mentioned it, but was wondering if anyone watched the How Racist Are You thing on thursday night? It was...interesting, in part, though tbh I think the time they had and the stuff they showed wasn't apt, I think the woman's experiement/workshop/whatever you want to call it is slightly outdated, but it definitely highlighted some things for me.

Epic fail indeed! What the hell are you doing?!

This was pretty shocking, I expected so much better of you. Well, no, not so much better...just...different.

Ok thanks, I was a bit more worried with XP about it just having problems if I don't end up with a legit key, I hate Vista enough I contemplate taking that risk. How exactly do you mean to 'mirror' my hard drive? Essentiallly to make an exact copy of it to the new one, or what? I don't normally do stuff like this, so I'm a bit noob with it all. I wondered if there was something out there that could essentially copy my entire hard drive over, but then I also thought that this hard drive has 3 partitions(alot of Acers these days seem to have two partitions in Windows) plus the hidden recovery partition, and I don't know how that'd translate to a hard drive that's much bigger?

So I was casually perusing the prices of HDs on play.com as I do from time to time, and saw these two hard drives, and I was considering them cos they're a decent enough price I guess(12.5p/GB and 12p/GB). Anyway, I always thought, if I got a new HD I'd put on XP, but I'm not sure about how easy it is to get XP to work properly if I install it off a disc if I have an actual windows xp key(which I don't have to hand right now, but I swear there's one somewhere). I'm thinking though, if I don't have one and decide to go by less...legitimate means, I'll end up with problems, so I was thinking I could just install vista. Only...could I?? My laptop came with Vista preinstalled(Acer Aspire 5100 Series) and I *can* make Vista Recovery CD things, but I think they might need to be used withing the Recovery Utility that's part of the Recovery Partition(alt+f10 or something on boot) and obviously that'd be a partition on this hard drive, so I wouldn't be able to access that if/when the new hard drive was in, so I was just wondering...what are my options for installing Vista, if any? It's a preliminary thought at the moment, I kinda want an internal drive over an equally big external drive...

They didn't do too bad a job with her face imo, and I think it's good she's trying to raise awareness of things. I find a strange something in the fact it happened to someone who was trying to get by in life and in a business where her looks are a major factor, though I don't by any means wish things like this upon anyone or think she deserves it, but I think it's a...well, an interesting something, I guess.

Faaaaaailllll, I give cube 12-23/25 hours until I pass it on, after this I might make a fresh thread for fresh signups and stuff so we don't have too many non players in the list. I'm afraid I've called time one Cube, as his phone seemed to be ringing out, resting with SPAMBOT4000 now!

Rule 0 of statistics: Correlation is not causation. I've well failed at watching, like a pussy I couldn't handle the surgery scenes and switched over the BBC1 programme, which was interesting, it's pretty south asian/indian focused, and their desire to be lighter, it's pretty cool, got a slight more personal touch. I'll watch this on 4od later though. It was a shame seeing the people who were so insecure about themselves and where they came from, though

Racist. jokes<3 Seems BBC1 has something called 'Make Me White' on during this that tackles a similar sort of issue, shame I'm gonna have to miss that one. Looks more like a sort of personal take on it by some asian(south) lass going by the blurb in the guide...

I was only dicking about in the old thread, though I'm currently camera-less for a week at least, maybe longer, so I cannot play til next week, what's the time frame on this business? I shall be in, but probably not as hard as previously, depends on...well, not being a lazy fatty.

Yeah, I got far too bored with that too quick, too much...stuff. Break it down, sum it up in a paragraph, I'm brown, and not that smart :p

So, I sort of expected a thread on this already but I guess there isn't one. I'd been seeing the adverts but not cared then I saw one and sort of did and wanted to catch up on all the ones I'd missed only to find it hadn't actually started yet and in fact starts tonight. Anyone interested in it? With the recent political correctness thread and the nick griffin on qt one, I should think this series of programmes shall make for good threading material! (For those unaware, as this doesn't really indicated it at all, The 'Last Taboo' is that of Race, and it's a whole series of programmes planned to air on Channel 4, I believe there's like 3/4 of them this week, with the first due tonight at 9pm on Channel 4 entitled Race and Intelligence)

Ahh, but I consdiered the difference being that Epona puts another item on the B-Button(the bow) whilst keeping Link's form, the other's just give it some new text, but I reckon it's still the sword hidden underneath using the form you're in as a base like. I dunno actually, it's just...well, you can't possibly use the sword as a deku or a goron or a zora, but you can't possibly NOT use it when regular link pressing the B-button...which is why I think either the bird stealing it(which'd change him being able to use it, maybe like a jinx...?) or getting on epona, might fix it. I'm not sure where I've cooked this all up from really, but if you get a moment before you fix the problem(or if you have the spare save slot, copy the fooked save over and do it later) go outside at night into termina field and let a blue bubble curse you(best place to find them is the ikana canyon side which is...west?), then try the B-button just to see what happens. That's just for my curiosity though, really. Either that or let me know how to re-create the glitch! Deleting the game and re-downloading I doubt would work, but if it's a VC save then there's a possible chance(a realllllllllly narrow one mind) depending on how hackable wii stuff is, that it could be fixed with a few things and a hex editor/or someone who has a VC MM and the ability to cheat on their wii. I think I have the latter of the latter but not the former(as in, I don't have MM on VC).

I did thank this post, but I'd like to point out I didn't like Straw for his Uhhming and Aaahing, I think I mentioned it earlier but when you get a person doing shit like that compared to a person who is(albeit no matter how ridiculously) giving you straight and convicted answers, a tiny part of you will side with the person who isn't fucking around with bullshitting you. Tbh, Griffin did do that stuff a bit from the half I saw(i've still only seen the second half of the programme lol) but there was something a bit more...resolute(?) about him? Iono. Having said that, the conservative woman was pretty straight talking for the bit that I saw, and the black lady() from the museum of something spoke quite bloody sensibly as well indeed, though they seemed to have more...snidy undertones? My mate said similar, like...ask him about global warming and see what he has to say for himself, like actual issues about real things and not just race, the sort of issues a government should be tackling(tho I'm personally undecided on the masssive issue of 'global warming') but then I was imagining what his response would be; 'Well, if we send all the blacks home, the country might cool down, as it's well known that darker things ARE better radiators. Now that's not being racist, that's just scientific FACT. We'd combat global warming easier if they weren't here, as bad as it sounds, but you just can't argue with the facts and figures. It's science!' As for him now brining a complaint against the BBC and shit, well damn, I wonder if it was his plan all along. It's both an oppurtunity to respout his pre-prepared(shh) bullshit all over in numerous news interviews, whilst getting more publicity and as it's a public body the case will most likely be widely covered, god forbid he wins such shit...it sort of gives a misplaced credence to his party. I speak on my own suspicions of people, but I'm pretty sure if he succeeds in that case, it'll make a few more people support him because he 'could succeed' elsewhere.
