Rummy

Ahhh, very nice! I recently caught up on all my fanboys, as I hadn't read it for aaaaaaages(at least a year, maybe two or more). Amusing comic, I don't know what the last panel's mocking, I just thought the CAD one was interesting to see. Also, any Pikmin fans out there, a rather cool looking mod for something, think it's half life, something to do with gmod? I don't know, you don't need to, just appreciate;

Man, I got a lift home from my mate's dad earlier and casually asked said mate when he was gonna get a job, out of interest and idle conversation not meaning anything by it, and man did I touch a fucking nerve. Said friend fell quite silent, said dad got quite vocal, and I felt incredibly awkward. I don't even care if he doesn't have or want a job! I later found out from someone who's known him for 16+ years(shit, they have pictures of each other as kids on their fridges) that this is indeed an issue for him. I feel like such a tard, and such an idiot, it's the sort of thing I should have known not to bring up in front of his dad! I also am annoyed as I have a slightly dicky foot, a gammy hand, and generally feel a bit ill. Also in the last few days I've discovered a girl I knew and became quite good friends with, and was arguably 'seeing' over the summer was never happy and apparently it was all a lie, and she has no real desire to ever know me again. A girl I think I may even have fallen in love with a bit, who sold me out for a guy she knew for 2 weeks. A girl who brought a fair bit of happiness to my life. A girl who, constantly for all that time, assured me otherwise and actually made me think she cared, but it seems she was just using me. A girl I've been cut up about for the past month. Yet strangely, I feel incredibly liberated and not so bothered having found all this out. I feel like I should feel worse than I do, but I don't and don't know why. I feel much worse for the fact I've probably gotten my mate into a sticky situation with his family. I should remember to call him tomorrow!

Maybe I'm a little confused, does it go Sentence -> Picture -> New Sentence off Picture -> New Picture off New Sentence -> New newness news new news...?

Well no, if you're in control of your car and at the speed limit, isn't it possible to stop in time? Isn't that the point of the limit? I don't know, I've not got the most practical driving experience, but I remember emergency stops being pretty damn speedy, and there's also that advert about the girl and chances to live etc. Second, in most altercations between a person and a car, I'm pretty sure it's usually the person who comes off worst, another reason alot of the responsibility is put upon the driver. I'm not totally fighting the corner of pedestrians neither mind and IHAVE seen some unbelievable road crossings too, in fact, this is a prime example of stupid pedestrians(bit brutal, just so you've been warned);

Wait, so someone used that seriously? I thought it was an ironic joke! Another quote I like; Mistakes aren't always regrets.

It's turtles, all the way down. Hope for the best, plan for the worst.

Worries me a bit how many people in this thread list 'Nintendo' as a reason for the Wii being great...

According to Kotaku(i dont read it, a friend just linked me) a Lens Cleaner is being released for anyone who's suffering from a dirty Wii! http://kotaku.com/5063040/now-you-can-clean-your-wii-lens Which IS all well and good, but seriously, why didn't they have this thing out months ago? Or as soon as they knew there was a potential problem? I think it's silly, they have the money and resources, it should have been a top priority, and I imagine most people who HAVE had dirty wiis probably got them cleaned a long time ago already.

I'm kind of with Jordan on this, I feel like I'd be scraping and looking for reasons, not just having them pop into my head(which they should, if it truly is great). There's a few reasons why it's great, but the reasons themselves aren't all that great, so I don't know if I can call the Wii great. The only one that actually jumped at me, was Brawl. Brawl. Backwards Compatibility Virtual Console/Old Titles(tho a bit moot considering the others have similar) Motion Controls(not always a plus though) The 5th feels too much of a forced struggle. I can think much easier and faster of criticisms, though I guess everyone is quick to criticise.

Surely you indicate for the first exit, and not the second? I'm not actually a driver(passed my test last dec, but cars and namely insurance is fucking expensive, so insurance is my current road ragery...if i can be classed as such), but I will admit I tend to think about driving when I'm in a car, and I agree, there's alot of people who cock up their signals on roundabouts, well annoying!

Pray tell, where is that from? It looks to mock CAD in the second panel...

Aye, a merry birthday wish to both of you, two awesome members! Hope you have a brilliant day and tings.

I would also like to know how you consider it 'fairly pointless' and that it 'teaches the child nothing of benefit'. If you're being silly and mean JUST smacking with no words or no explanation or anything, then yes, but otherwise how can you actually say that? I would also like to say something more in the favour of smacking, as I said I think I probably recieved harsher than the average and would like to point out that whilst I can be violent now, and angry, and have at times in the past done silly things out of anger, I never got like it until about halfway through secondary school, and that was due to nothing to do with my parents. So any arguments about smacking teaching your children violence is the answer of solution to everything, I highly disagree with.

I'd agree with Danny, I mean sure it takes alot of bottle to actually kill yourself(and I'm actually too much of a pussy to ever cut myself, I think) but then if you're commiting suicide it's usually because you can't deal with something else, so maybe that takes more courage? I dunno, it IS how you look at it, and I'd definitely say it takes some sort of(twisted) courage to actually kill yourself. I think it's definitely the case that you can't quite understand it until you're in it, and when you're not in it you forget again like?

You sound like the sort of man who should look into Salty Sticks, own brand ones in particular. I remember having the most intense of salty sticks once, so intense it hurt and I didn't like it, but I forgot where or why, I just feel like they were an own brand from somewhere...

Even with the fear of a proper smacking, sometimes it just wasn't enough to stop me(and it WAS fear, as soon as you knew the wooden spoon was coming you'd run and hide) but to have put that fear in me, I had to have been smacked previously. I think often my parents did use it as some form or last resort, as they'd often tell me nicely, sternly, very clearly, not to do something/to do something and warned me of the consequences(which'd sometimes spur me to do it) before they did it. I think it was rare a smack came out of nowhere. Though having said that, I KNOW people CAN be raised without physical discipline, but I think both are viable options and choices for the parents to decide upon. I know on the whole healthy and well rounded individuals who have been so, but then again, people think I'm a fairly regular kind of person too, so I am not going to be in favour of one over the other. If the government wants to tell parents how to raise their children, then let the government raise them for them. Until recent years, I'd thought we'd actually been doing quite all right as the whole human race, and I'm sure smacking has been around forever, just dwindling lately with more political correctness(if you can call it that, you know what I mean). I swear you did NOT have such shits running round the towns as you do these days, nor so many back 10-15 years ago(which is about the extent of my memory, and I'll admit it's not the sort of thing I'd be looking out for).

I'd say that's a very good point, actually. You end up in this shit place cos your actions, maybe taking a chance or a risk for the big payoff, but then you get there, and it's so bad you're too scared to even try and take another risk to get out of it, you'd rather put up with that bad forever than let it get even the tiniest bit worse. You're barely coping as it is, and you're scared shitless that you'll mess it up more and it'll just get worse, so you basically just get stuck there, doing nothing. I guess that might be how depression is, actually.

Yeah, it's just that dispair, that horrible feeling of being lost and not knowing where to go, and you just keep falling deeper in if you aren't careful. Weird that when people get out of it, they don't realise why or how, guess it doesn't help much for others. I'm not disagreeing, but what makes you say that, as opposed to all the other people who seem to think it is?

Where on earth DID you acquire such a bargain! Turns out alot of people I know lately are after 360s. Also, why would this FFVII remake be such a big deal, and why is it that it would never happen?

What do you do when you don't feel strong any more though? After a while you just get drained from it trying to be strong and put on a brave face constantly, and you can't keep doing it, that's when you end up doing something silly. I wonder whether the successes are actually just a cry for help gone too far, or people who just find their problems have gone too far. Well, I say problems, I disagree with Oxigen's post to an extent, sometimes it IS just people running from their problems, but the times when it's 'when you just feel nothing towards being alive and would rather be dead because you don't really care about "being alive" in general' I think that can be caused by having the problems. Though I also know what you meant, sometimes it's not a case of wanting death, it's just an indifference to being alive anymore, or trying to die happy before it gets worse, maybe?

I seen a few I find quite amusing, though some people don't always share in my randomness and imagination. My favourite that I've seen is P18 LOL, but I like to think of the 1 as an L, so it says PLATE, LOL. Yeah, I get weird kicks.

You wanna see his episode and mockup of the apprentice style game shows, is pretty hilarious. I caught it on tv aaaages ago, might try and find it online...

I bought some cheapass earphones on ebay for like 6p with postage once because two pairs of nokia ones fell apart within about 2 weeks each. I still have the 6p pair, and sure the quality probably ain't anywhere near the best, but if you ain't bothered about it then I'd just say get a cheapy pair for taking out and about, I find they always tend to break...eventually.

You're a rational kind of guy it seems, the problem is when you get feeling like this. It doesn't matter how rational you are, the feeling just isn't a rational one, it runs on twisted reasoning and raw feelings, and no matter how much you try to reason with a person it just doesn't get through, as you can't argue with something that's so irrational. I also understand the idea of just doing something terrible like jumping in front of a train for the sheer fact and curiosity that you shouldn't, but the idea might become more appealing to you if you ever feel suicidal I imagine. It's something you just can't understand until you feel it, I think. When you stop feeling it, you forget it too and can't understand it again.

Why you fiend, I do believe it has! At least, I fully intended to post it. The same guys did a video about fire drills, I found it quite amusing lol;
