  1. Provisional licence is the correct choice. Taking a passport out is too risky, and it takes up loads of room. Licence sits in your wallet. Lots of areas have their own schemes running for IDs but the problem is not everywhere will accept them.
  2. You're just going to do degrees for teh rest of your life aren't you, Bard? Bardstard. Stard is your new name/closer to your real name.
  3. No, no, no, no, no. Respected critics try to review things against a universal/classical meter. While it's nice to play Spot The Novelty, ultimately anything committed to film is committed to the history of mankind forever. Imagine if/when aliens arrive and go "hey lol. So we wanna catch up with your blox-cool art/culture. Please provide us a list of your 100 greatest movies!" .... then we present them with the 100 latest movies that people lolled at. It's not a fair reflection on our art/culture. It's a fair reflection on current trends and tastes, which will change. Critics these days praise movies they think will be watchable in 10 years time. Critics strip naked and run through streets if they think a movie will still be watched in 50 years time. Movies that do well today... yeah they make money. But movies still rollin' in decades make legends, and end up setting the trends that any ol' regular movie adheres to. There is a larger picture than "well I found it entertaining." Video game reviews... meh. While games have become far less nerdy and secretive in the last 20 years, they're still a very novel form of entertainment and as such there's not really enough history behind it for there to be a fair parallel drawn to movies (and books! Plays! Music!). We may all laud pacman/space invaders/pong, and respect them (despite being shit compared to modern stuff) for the doors they opened to subsequent games, but there's not enough of a folio to truly be able to establish what's Good and Bad and Why. Ok maybe there is, but just not on the same level as there is with movies. ... Yeah was gonna write a paragraph about how both (all?) mediums have changed over the years and gaming is still in flux due to there being a new format at least once a decade (consoles) as opposed to trends in other medium being less flakey, and how that affects replay/rewatching of old stuff and thus makes it harder to truly test how good a piece of art is, then go into how 'art' arises from a medium, rather than art being the drive. But I cba. Entertainment is the drive, the impetus for a medium to deliver. Art is born from this, but is the true goal for anyone who wishes to be more than a footnote in the history books (I'll refrain from an essay on how the entirity of modern human history will in itself be a mere footnote/quarkile monofuse disc in due course).
  4. yeah, exactly. He thinks he has the midas touch but that film just... barf me away from here.
  5. When it was real-time it was scary! I think it made sense to make town stronger than maff because they had the upper hand at that stage. As the game switched to a regular phasic pattern it shifted, but I enjoyed the game! Glad to see that my target finally worked - honestly up 'til the end I wasn't certain if Jonnas was town or just some mega neutral. If the votes weren't so clearly going on the right target when we got eddie/rez/rummy, I would've been talked into going for jonnas. Glad to see my hubby win in the end :P
  6. 1st gets 10, last gets 1, I presume BOOM to the 10 earned for our side. Not sure how long i'll last on top...
  7. Only got 100 words? Sure you can't post more than one per post, Rummy?
  8. someone has forced rummy to use one word a post? (What's the bit about "two feet to make notes" about?)
  9. Vote: Rummy. Glad my bit o' protectin' did some good
  10. Tom Hanks has gone money-mad. Not sayin' he wasn't making a mint before but... he's just acting odd recently. Mark my words! He's going all mel-gibson on us!
  11. Congrats on the growth of the site - kinda excuses your lack of appearance around here. I do not write and I hate nintendo, so I can't help you :P
  12. it lets people know of his allegiance, something which shouldn't be confirmed one way or the other outside of the game.
  13. *skims* Diageo's PM wasn't that bad. You shouldn't've posted it in here though, rez. It's giving info to the players in teh game.
  14. Strong man; did you inform me? I do not feel informed. Looking like we're getting close to the crunch. How do we feel about rummy today?
  15. There's a freemasons meeting group in a building near mine. I wish they'd be more fucking secretive. They make a hell of a lot or noise. (will post again but lateforworklols)
  16. Mate a lot of hayfever comes about in 20's (based on no solid science, just what I know from my friends). Pressure change in summer affects people's sinuses, which can affect phlegm in the lungs... but if you have an itchy throat then... then... then man i have no degree in medication so ultimately i have no idea what I'm talking about!
  17. hayfeveeeer?
  18. Ach, it's mondays I believe. Not got any other way of getting dosh in quick I'm afraid.
  19. ... I've 1.7 at the moment... next sponsor bonus and I'm there!
  20. Last day of work tomorrow :'( Company's going into 'hibernation'. Allegedly I'm being 'headhunted' and have an interview on 12th for a salary job, which is a formality as I've essentially gotten the job - or at least a 3-month test period, which to me just sounds like a temp placement again. Sooo not bothered. (see, posting about how you're getitng a job isn't bad news, rez. This is bad news)
  21. If anything, bare-bones means it's extremely likely that there'll be maff with no specific power. How close we to lynch?
  22. Ese; precisely how am I described nefariously? I wish you'd make a distinction between "I was told he was evil!" and "I was told something and now I'm going to say that it's evil!" Your mafia style is frustrating because you dive-bomb at anyone and everyone for any reason whatsoever.
  23. Would've put in an offer but I just signed a new strikar! (plus I'm not vip!)
  24. It tells me that the theory that rez and eddie are our maff sounds rather strong!
  25. Stopped watching the demo... because it looks fucking awesome! May well treat myself to that. Not sure about the others yet, though.
