I just wanted to add a little bit, possibly explaining the origin of this little fella. I know it isn't in line with the thread, but I think it's pretty interesting. Super Mario Bros 2 as released outside of Japan was actually another game by Shigeru Miyamoto called Doki Doki Panic, which was remade with mario style characters and such, a majority of enemies were not changed, because I think it wasn't neccesary(also why there are so many unique sort of enemies and bosses in it, and a lack of traditional mario style enemies). You may be wondering why this was so, but the answer will come from 'The Lost Levels'(as seen in Super Mario All Stars). This is the original Super Mario Bros 2 released in Japan, but was apparently deemed to be too difficult(or something) for the international audiences and so Doki Doki Panic was remade to account for what would otherwise have been a lack of a Super Mario Bros 2 internationally. The original Mario Bros 2 was therefore later released as The Lost Levels. EDIT: Just checked Shyguy's Wiki, and it points out that Bobomb and Snifits also became regulars due to Doki Doki Panic. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shyguy

I am a big kirby fan, sort of, hooked since Kirby's Dream Land. I played Kirby's Adventure a very long time ago on NES on holiday, and it was awesome for me as it was the first Kirby game I played with abilities. I would definitely say it is worth the £3.50 it's going to cost, but not sure about it being his best adventure to date(thats not to put it down, it's awesome, but some of the others are possibly MORE AWESOME).

Flink raises another good contender. The problem with Desmond's is that theres kind of not enough of it, and it isn't very well known. Only fools and horses though, thoroughly funny through and through, and I think everyone will find it funny too. Every episode makes me laugh, even if I've seen it plenty of times before, it really is a timeless comedy. I prefer some of these older comedies to recent ones, I dunno why, they just seem to have something to them that newer ones don't. I love watching old sitcoms(recently quite into Only When I laugh on ITV3). A really good comedy from recent years is Spaced, unfortunately again there wasn't very much of it.

I just watched tomorrows episode, was only half watching it though. Was pretty good, it was more focused on Becca sort of. One thing about the John(Jean?) Paul and Hannah thing right, do you actually find it believable that someone would think themselves so hideous that they turned their boyfriend gay, just because he came out? One good thing that I think came out of the fire was probably the Valentines, I think they've been a good addition to the cast, with some good storylines too. As for Claire, I'm hoping she'll push Warren a bit too far and he'll sort her out, despite how much I dislike Warren, then Max and Tom will live happily ever after and get the club and the shop back.

I was in secondary school when both pokemon and yoyos hit. Whilst pokemon was sort of big, bigger in the trading cards, yoyos REALLY took off as a craze, I remember everyone wanted the X-Brain, but I got a Firestorm(also a Yomega) which didn't have 'clutches' to pull it back up when it got too slow, so it was kind of better for tricking, though I kinda sucked at tricks. I remember people always wanted to play with my firestorm though, but then the string sort of frayed/untangled, and one replacement string I had was pretty awesome, but then the next just didn't work out, it was too twisty and the yoyo would like turn whilst it was spinning and it was rubbish. I actually bought my first set to play with, my friend told me about it after I was already into the pokemon game, I played like 3 games at the most with the starter deck you could get, then didn't really play after that. I was never really a collector either, was far too expensive to keep up with, 'booster' packs were like £2 for something stupid like 8 or 10 cards! I bought a couple of those, but only got sucky stuff and gave up on the whole thing. Are football stickers still around? I never was and still am not into football much, so I wasn't part of that really, but it was all the rage. How about pogs though? Anyone remember pogs? I remember the Pogs craze, and short lived marble craze too. Ooo, someone else mentioned Tamagotchi, I definitely remember that one, Tamagotchis got banned in my primary school I think, because it was so distracting and they were noisy, and people always had to feed them, or clean them, or all of that stuff so they werent doing there work. Kids are real stupid sometimes. I later bought a Digimon, it was like tamagotchi and made by them, but it had these two metal contacts on the top, and you trained them up then connected to someone else and had a little battle with them. It was all well and good, til I dropped it in the bath then took it back to the shop and for a refund(I must have lied about what happened). I remember you had to wait til they were a certain age/stage before you could battle, and me and my mate had to get out of class and go have a battle in the toilets lol. Like I said, kids are real stupid. I actually want some heelies, I think they're pretty useful and kids don't need them, if only I could roll all over the place! I'm always in a hurry to get somewhere, kids?! Where do kids need to hurry off to eh?! I remember I sort of started a minicraze in my class once, there was this 20p machine near the newsagents I passed on the way to school, and one of the things it sold was like these little plastic figures, and I told another guy who lived my way so passed the newsagents on the way too, and we both had some, and then it caught on in my class, and people would go out of their way to this little 20p machine after school to buy these little plastic thingies. Then one day, the machine just dissappeared, and I felt sad, always hoping it would return. It did one day, but not with these things in it anymore, and I have never found them again since, I wish I could though . I recently actually found the little things, I have them lined up(and will probably take photo for you to see), I remember we nicknamed them Gogos, for some reason. No, but I have one of those bags. In fact, I have had 3, 3 black ones and a silver one. They are pretty useful bags, and also gave us a really hilarious moment of mocking someone we knew because he had his PE stuff in one, along with his actual bag, and they were both Nike bags but different colours, and someone called him Twin Bags in passing and he got kind of offended for some reason, so everyone did it more and he stormed off. I thought they were really cool and so I went out and bought a load of them! They were pretty awesome, they smelled like stuff! I got all the ones they had out when they were first brought out, but that was before the silly ones like popcorn and stuff. I remember I had blueberry, strawberry, cinnamon, cola, chocolate, apple and I think banana. People always wanted to borrow them. FINGERBOARDS! They came around with a bit of a skating trend, which someone has sort of mentioned. I remember I got into it too, but I really sucked at fingerboarding just like I do at skating and couldn't do anything with the boards really, what a load of suck. I was a bit older when fingerboards came round though, somewhere between year 9-11?

I think this actually does qualify for its own thread, seeing as how neighbours and eastenders have theirs, and I really want to talk about Hollyoaks! I just hope there are some other watchers out there. Is it just me, or has it gone a tad bit downhill recently? One thing that is really getting on my nerves at the moment is this whole John Paul is gay storyline. I think it's actually a really good issue, and kind of good to a point, but does anyone else think that hannah's part is a bit melodramatic? She is really really getting on my nerves with it. Maybe it was just for the past week, but there hasn't been much mention of the Max and Clare story, or the stuff withAmy(?), the pregnant one. Am I the only one who wants to see Clare get her comeupance? I missed half of it, mainly the big parts where she tried to kill Max, but even so, I'm annoyed at how she seems to have won. Also, where have Dom and Tony disappeared to? I didn't see them at all last week! In short; Hollyoaks, Discuss. Remember people, Spoiler tags are your friends. They help prevent you from being an idiot and making people hate you, so use them!

I agree totally, it's mean and deceptive and just mean too, and sony did it, most of what sony does tends to be bad/wrong in some way, and I hate them. I think it's a bit mean too.

Desmond's. Or someone else mentioned Airplane, in terms of comedy films, that one is pretty awesome for its time, and I think it was the first of its sort of genre.

Hmm, I dunno how I feel about this. I mean, I loved Toy Story, and Toy Story 2 was very good too(although I think it was lacking something the original had). I'm worried the third will be lacking it too, I don't think anything can really even match the first Toy Story. I also get annoyed at all these CGI films coming out of Disney since Toy Story, they're all over the place! I feel like Toy Story had some magic being the first one, and ever since everythings just trying to achieve the same. I guess I didn't really explain myself very well, but theres something about a third Toy Story that makes me weary, like it'll detract from the first one somehow sort of thing?

Happy Birthday indeed! Hope you have a good one!

Well who's to say it is or isn't? I'm half and half, depending from which side I'm looking at it. By some definitions, they're abnormal, by others, they aren't, so who's right?

I don't have much of a problem with them, though I realised I don't actually really punch with them, I do more of a flicking like gaggle said, sort of a whip forward with my hand. Definitely work on your dodging like Eenuh said though, it helps me out tons to dodge a punch then crack a few good jabs(thats one problem with how I play, it's all mainly upper jabs, can't do hooks to save my life ).

Not in the original, and seeing as how Nintendo still havent thought to make a Wii update that lets you remap VC controls the short answer is...no, sorry. How's it play with the GC pad anyway? Good? Bad? Better or worse than the original? I can imagine using Y and then jumping with B can be pretty sucky...

Hows about...SUPERTED?! Also to mention would be Banana Man, The Magic Crayon, Something animated about a family of loch ness monsters what I don't remember the name of, Reboot as just mentioned by Dante(I got into Reboot late, then it disappeared like amonth or two later). I never used to watch it much until they started putting it on cbbc2 in the mornings before school, then we'd watch it whilst eating breakfast. I think I've actually turned out all right given the amount of TV I watched while growing up. Dante, I do indeed remember Moomins, but I posted to point out something better...The RACOONS! I also see you listed Aquila on your last post, I thought it was frickin awesome! Then it just like dissappeared into nowhere! Some non-cartoony stuff, anyone remember? Uncle Jack? Five Children and It? Byker Grove and Grange Hill, but when they were cool? Archer's Goon? Alfonso Bonzo/Break a Leg Billy Webb? Matt's Millions? <more to come when I remember them/talk to my siblings> I remember Knightmare, it was the awesomest thing ever! I think it appealed to those with a gamer heart lol. Demon Headmaster, CATCHPHRASE, Mork and Mindy, Bewitched, Thomas the Tank Engine from when I was well little, he used to wallpaper two walls of my room, Animals of Farthing Wood, Danger Mouse, another thing with a mouse hero, COUNT DUCKULA, Henry the Cat, something else to do with a cat? Pingu, Transformers and how can I also forget, Top Cat(points at avatar)! Yogi Bear deserves a mention, all Warner Bros cartoons like Daffy Duck/Bugs Bunny etc, Pink Panther if I didn't already mention it, The Hair Bear Bunch and some more to follow later when I remember those too. *walks away singing popeye tune* EDIT: Street sharks! Swamp Thing! HAMMERMAN! The Poddington Peas! Peter Pan and the Pirates! Quite alot of stuff on Dante's lists! I think there is only like 5 things on his list which I don't actually remember, that list is so awesome. Tom and Jelly looks a bit questionable though... I quoted this because I remember both, and Desmonds is quite possibly one of the best sitcoms ever. Does anyone remember a Conan the Barbarian cartoon too? I wasn't all that big on it, but watched it when it was on and I was waiting for something else.

Supergrunch, stop right there! I've been after someone like you for a while, could you explain to me(over a PM maybe, to stop this thread getting cluttered with it) how to work out lottery probabilities? Say, well, you did 6 numbers there, but stuff like the chances of matching 3 numbers, or 4 etc. Not just the probabilities, but how they're worked out. I think I know what you're saying, but I'm not sure if it's right. The chances of there being 1000 heads in a row, would be 0.5^1000, I think. Say we flip a coin 3 times; HHH (1) 3 H HHT (2) 2 H, 1 T HTH (2) THH (2) HTT (3) 1 H, 2 T TTH (3) THT (3) TTT (4) 3 T Those are the different orders/combinations right? There's 8 of them. The chances of getting all heads(1)? 1 in 8. The chances of all tails(4)? 1 in 8. The chances of 2 heads and 1 tails(2)? 3 in 8. The chances of 1 head and 2 tails(3)? 3 in 8. That makes 8 in 8 added together, which is 1. The point? That 2 of those combinations are 3 times more likely than the other two, it's the same with 1000 tosses, getting 1000 heads is not likely. The most likely scenario is 500 of each, and if I'm not mistaken should form like a normal distribution bell curve sort of thing. Anyway, this is getting off topic. EDIT: I'm not sure why I was stupid and used a 3 toss example instead of a 2 toss example. HH, TT, HT and TH. 50% chance of a heads and a tails, only 25% of 2 heads, and 25% of two tails. I think the thing that causes the difference between people is sort of 'being in it to win it'. One person plays the lottery, the chances of them winning the jackpot? 14 million to 1. Another person doesn't buy a ticket, their chances? 0. Who has the higher chance of winning the lottery? The person who takes the risk, lucky people take those risks, and because they take them alot, some of them pay off and they get a bigger payoff and therefore think themselves lucky. An example I considered the other day, when I was walking to the station to get my train to uni as normal. I walked round the corner, and saw the train already pulled in at the station. Here comes my first choice, do I run for it? I decided yes, and unlucky person may assume they have already lost the chance to catch it, and would never manage to get it even if they ran. I'm running, at the top of the steps now, and the doors start beeping, do I just stop to save myself the hassle or keep going? Some people would give up now, those beeps for the doors don't last long and you probably aren't very likely to make that train. Me? I kept on running, and slightly mission impossible stylee, jumped through a me shaped gap between the doors as they was closing, then slipped on the train as I landed and looked like a tit, but at least I managed to catch my train and saved myself waiting god knows how long for another, at least 15 minutes in the freezing cold. Had I not started running, or stopped halfway, I'd have cut off all chance of me getting that train. I think those are the sort of things that make the differences between lucky and unlucky people. I have another example too in fact, which I'll save for another time. I think these scenarios are quite common and all over the place, but I don't think people realise how many lucky breaks they get, and thus get into the 'unlucky' frame of mind where they don't even bother trying having already decided they'll fail, and thus have no chance of achieving what they want.

You'll drop that g and stick in an apostrophe if you know whats good for you! 'Old' tv shows? How old is old? I used to watch pokemon digimon and yugioh(the like original one, none of that dx crap), but that was like post 2000s. If you wanna talk OLD cartoons, you've got TMNT originals(I also watched the recent remakes), thundercats, wacky races, secret squirrel, hong kong fooey, flintstones, pink panther, POPEYE, smurfs, sharky and george, inspector gadget and many many more. Basically, if there was a cartoon, I was most probably watching it. Also, spiderman and xmen of course in the 90s, and iron man and the incredible hulk and fantastic four, just because they were around but they werent as good as xmen or spiderman. Pretty much anything hanna barbera and anything DiC, theres so many things I don't even remember them, and this isn't even going beyond cartoons into like live action stuff. When I think about it, maybe my mum was right at the time, I did watch too much tv!

Funny, I was watching a thing last night where some woman was trying to get down to a size zero from a size...no idea, as an experiment sort of thing, it looked like she had a really shit time going through it. Sooj, how tall are you? As for me, I have never really tried to lose weight, cos I was always rather thin(think im putting weight on recently though). I remember checking my BMI once a while back, I was borderline on underweight but just fitting into the acceptable category. Most of my friends don't notice me being too thin cos my clothes don't tend to show it(not like that on purpose, just...clothes taste I guess, not much of a t-shirter or anything). Starving yourself isn't ideal, but keeping carbs and fats to a healthy minimum and doing a nice bit of cardiovascular excercise each day will apparently work quite well, but just not eating probably won't do it, forget who said that earlier.

Lol, the first bit made me laugh. I think luckiness is actually just recognising and capitalizing on oppurtunities. As for that thing with a newspaper, it was done by Richard Wiseman, he talks about it in The Luck Factor. Basically, he gave them a newspaper and asked them to count all the photos in it then tell him after how many there were. However, on the second page of the newspaper it had a half page of all caps saying 'STOP COUNTING - THERE ARE 43 PHOTOGRAPHS IN THIS NEWSPAPER.' and halfway through the newspaper he had another 'advert' taking up half a page which said 'STOP COUNTING, TELL THE EXPERIMENTER YOU HAVE SEEN THIS AND WIN £100.' Apparently every single person missed both of these messages when doing the task, because they were too busy focused on looking for and counting photographs, that they missed the other 'oppurtunities'. After they did it, he asked them if they'd noticed anything unusual in the newspaper, and when they said they hadn't, he asked them to flick through the paper again. He doesn't mention numbers, but he says that within seconds people noticed the first message, and shortly after notice the second message as well, most probably kicking themselves they just lost the oppurtunity of the easiest £100 they'd get in a while. Some more stuff in the same vein is outlined here.

I feel so inferior, I don't think I got any more than 1-2inches, but I didn't measure it or anything. You know what I want, what I really really want? I'll tell you what I want, what I really really want...more than snow I want...ICICLES! Now icicles, they rock, I remember it snowing proper heavy once when I was little(or maybe it wasnt that heavy, I was little) but yeah, it snowed and there were humungous icicles hanging off our gutters! It was mucho coolio! Did anyone get any icicles anywhere? Yes, I meant for the first line to sound like that, rather than making an obvious joke about penises.

If thats to me, no, I was in need of an article to base my project off and not keen on trawling through journal after journal, so I took the easy way out and searched for a tv psychologist. Richard Wiseman came to mind as he would probably have articles on his site(which he did), and I find the stuff he talks about quite interesting. Here's a link to his site, and then the experiment I used as my base paper; http://www.psy.herts.ac.uk/wiseman/ Check out the research part for some interesting stuff such as experiments he's done. http://www.psy.herts.ac.uk/wiseman/papers/Born%20lucky%20PAID%202005.pdf It's basically a study about how lucky people are and if it correlates with the month in which they are born, I haven't really read the results in detail as they confuse me(don't tell my lecturers) but he basically found that people born in sort of summer time(march-august?) are more lucky than winter borns(sept-feb?). Due to the nature of the variables though, a cause and effect can not be determined, only a co-relation. Enough of that though. He's done other research as well, and I would actually recommend people(lucky people who are interested, and most certainly people who feel they unlucky) to buy his book called The Luck Factor(he has another called Did You Spot the Gorilla, based on another unbelievable experiment, but the book's about recognising hidden oppurtunities in your life). I'm trying to get through The Luck Factor, as it'll give me alot of material to use when I come to write up my project, and need other references too, but it's quite good, explaining some theories of luck and ways to actually increase your luck. It's quite a good book though, with little excercises to increase luck, showing how/why lucky people are lucky and why unlucky people are unlucky, and theory abot it such as lucky people tend to have higher measures on certain personality traits and stuff, and in turn do things that unlucky people wouldn't. As for me personally, I tend to say I'm neither, but I think thats me just trying not to tempt fate, and whilst I am unlucky in some certain aspects, I think I secretly consider myself lucky overall. That's another interesting part of it, just believing your lucky! Alot of it is to do with mindset. If you think you're unlucky, you might not do something because you think it won't work because you're unlucky, but a lucky person would, if that makes sense?

Luck, I find, is a very interesting and amazing phenomenon, and I'm quite curious for other people's ideas and opinions. Do you consider yourself a lucky person, or an unlucky person? Are you neither, or are you super lucky/super unlucky? I'm not asking for no reason, I have to do a miniproject for my course, and I'm looking into how certain variables can predict luck and stuff, I won't say too much, as I'm hoping some of you might help me out by filling in some stuff(if i figure out an easy way to go about it). But anyway, what are your opinions? Do you think luck can be explained, or is it a force beyond us? Do you think lucky charms actually work? Do you yourself actually carry any sort of lucky charms?

I'm a bit late, but I wanted to say Happy Birthday to Eenuh, she does make some excellent posts, and given that I've wished happy birthday to some lesser posters, it just wouldn't be fair to not wish Eenuh one so...erm...Happy Birthday!

I have read some of Discworld, but not all, so I won't pass judgement on all of those yet, whilst they were very good, I sort of fell out of reading them for some reason(got about 5 books from the series in my possession I need to read, plus about 30 more I don't have which I need to read). The great thing about these is that they are well written, full of great humour, and full of cross references to the discworld universe, but you can actually read them in any order! Brilliant! You'll see various characters cropping up in the different books, and my favourite is probably good ol Death himself. The two obvious ones; HDM Trilogy - Phillip Pullman Northern Lights, The Subtle Knife and The Amber Spyglass. What an awesome series of books, great for young and old readers too, best thing I've probably ever read, it's really that good, everyone should try and read a copy of these, it'll only take a week or so, despite them looking hefty, but they'll suck you in so much you'll find yourself constantly buried in them. Well, I did at least. Harry Potter Series - JK Rowling Really loved this, despite criticisms that it isn't well written from a english point of view(which is kind of true, alot of dialogue and whatnot, HDM definitely written better) but they have the hook too, they consumed me and I'm quite looking forward to the final installment, even though I kind of don't want it to end. A few others; The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime - Mark Haddon Something a little bit different, written from the perspective of an autistic boy(think he has Asperger's). It kind of follows him going through a process of growing up and learning the harsh truths of the world(ok, sort of exxaggerated, but whatever). The boy is also a bit of a mathmatical savant, and it also has some nice little facts and stuff in it, it managed to teach me a few things(such as a basic understanding of how encryption on the internet works). It's full of clever little things really, and a nice change of perspective. I wish I could just find my copy and read it again grr! Vernon God Little - DBC Pierre(had to look this up) Again, this was leant to me by a friend, and it was a bit different. I didn't really like it at first, it seemed like a book about nothing, which...it sort of is! It's just a general book following some kid's life, and I find it hard to describe, but by time I got to the end, I was really glad I had read it, for some strange reason. Da Vinci Code, Angels and Demons and Digital Fortress - Dan Brown These books managed to hook me too, whilst they aren't way up there on the top list, they were good enough to keep me buried, and to buy Angels and Demons and in turn Digital Fortress, having read a copy of the Da Vinci Code that someone lent me. These are all sort of mystery thriller books, and I think they are really very quite clever, with lots of twists and stuff. Again, these are full of LOADS of little bits of information(in fact, digital fortress helped me understand encryption on the internet even more!) All the books here are definitely worth your money(except maybe vernon god little, i dunno how much that is), but if there's just one thing from this post you decide to read, make sure it's His Dark Materials. I've whacked in some wiki links too, in case anyone is curious for some more info. I'd rate and review the books proper, but it's just too hard!

I just checked mine, expecting some crap people(one person who shares my actual birthday, like the day i was born, is that girl who's friends with lizzie maguire in the show, thinking she's all cool by only going by one name). Nadal though, that's kind of cool!

I knew it was going to snow when I went to sleep, but I still woke up and was annoyed. I feel like a...mean person. I WAS ANNOYED THAT IT HAD SNOWED. I didn't go play in it neither. I think I'm getting old, and cold too, I'm too old and too cold to play in snow. I was annoyed as well because it screwed up all the trains and I wouldn't be able to go to uni, which I actually really wanted to do because I WANTED TO GO TO UNI AND GET WORK DONE. I fear I have turned into an big old geek. However, what somebody needs to make(and this'd make me play in the snow) is like some waterproof gloves, which at the same time still serve the function of keeping your hands warm. That'd help to stop regular gloves from just getting sodden then freezing through to your hands, they just delay the inevitable. I hope it doesn't snow tomorrow either, because my parents are flying home and I'd kind of like them to get here without any hassles.
