Oh, thanks. I spend all day trying to chill people out and at least give you a bloody chance to gab and that's the repayment Anyway, Mr-paul said his power here. It's just up the page for me. I don't get why people don;t have their settings at the maximum posts per page, you know. Saves on the clicking.

LOL. He still has 16 years then!

Gay. Only got 160pts but flippin' already have that. Prolly never buy a game full price again!

Epic, Eevil :P I'm AFRAID that you can't have the ukulele. Can't just have everyone googling all the BISHes! Aside from that, a great set

Made it so. Check first post for use of thread summary.

Depends on the library and the book. Books like pride and prejudice are out of copywrite so different publishers produce the book, with different prefaces and annotations/footnotes (footnotes to help explain disused terms, etc). Some libraries cater for this and provide alternate editions. Should I make a metaBISH thread/

ReZ; the spirit of the BISH, I hope, is that we are to avoid getting technical with things. *ones like that* would not be impossible, they'd just require you to leave the house. Remember that? Good days. As I said, I don't really mind your BISH entry and I certainly haven't discredited it. Not everyone reads books, and not everyone has a bunch by the same author. Bookshops do, though. But I guess xmas is a bad time to do a bish with shops

haha! Mad props to Eenuh for her dedication to the cause. No extra points though :x (someone please do that emoticon)

Eenuh that bundle of joy is awesome Love it! Don't worry about redoing the emoticon, I doubt anyone will steal the points. ReZ some hilarious entries there, top notch RE: Comic books; honestly I think the intention was for the BISH to be books and unfortunately we've found a loophole. SHRUGZ. I don't know. Do we need a metaBISH thread to talk these things over?

I'm cool with the books one, and with the God-proof one - only if everyone is. Technically eenuh's one is a wee bit illegal, but unless someone wants to do the same emoticon but with reallife hearts (as in, not photoshopped. Please do not harm any people or animals in the production of your BISHes. Unless they ask for it.) then they'll STEAAALLL eenuh's points, like big bastard meanies!

Well we've had just over 24 hours of this day phase so we still have another day to decide if it's worth the risk and hear their views. Plenty of time, no need to rush anything.

oh! Not the magazine/newspaper sized ones. We shall categorise books by their binding rather than content, I suppose.

We've got a few on 300ish so far haven't we? I think I have somewhere between 150-200, but there's plenty of time and plenty of points to be had! I'd say the list is pretty good this time around, plenty to get. It usually starts with people in their room, then in their house, then outside with a friend/family member who has been at first concerned but not utterly absorbed in the nutty behavior witnessed around the house.

Well so does marcamillian. I don't know how usual these roles are though!

I'm serious - I have no powers. People see me barrel-rolling, they haters. Can't touch this. UNMENTIONABLES OR DEATH

And added Rummy's last BISH!

Added Murray's to the list!

Aw Diageo; doctor!

Watching Lolita (20) Precarious tower(s) of all my DVDs, books and games (that I have in the house - have lent a lot of stuff) (40) Ten books by the same author (pratchett) (10) Autograph (20) [To James. Got Your Potato? Terry Pratchett.]

Nolan's post is truly epic. Made me lol so much :P I think we have to embrace that policy now - Any drunk posts made in this thread are forbidden the use of the backspace button.

I took over a year 'out' of the forums. I got a job, made great friends and sorted out my education. But on my return there was still a healthy dozen-or-so who remembered me, if not the same remarkable moments that our memories shared. I think there are a core group of N-Ers who will forever be cyclical to these boards. In my mind, no matter what happens in my life I'll be able to return here and be remembered. But what is most likely is that it will be I who is here to do the remembering. It doesn't bother me yet. As I said, people here are friends to me. Even when I appear harsh I only do so because I know they won't immediately scoff and turn their backs on me. I have a fair amount of leeway here. I do love it, most verily Friends here do come and go, but the source stays the same. Petty thanks and personal messages do well to pass my time.

Well by default I can offer no information, myself. If there's a logic to the killings then a protector, if there is one, may be of serice... But then me saying this may affect it! I have no targets nor any information. Red... something! Standing by.

haha 9-bed places cannot be that easy to come by! Where are you uni-ing? I always forget these things. I knew a guy in leeds who lived in a 12-bed house... Parties there were mad BUT... politics rife and rampant. But I'm sure that'll suit you I've lived with 3 people and 6 people, and I'm definitely the sort of person who does better in smaller numbers (though the other 2/5 people may disagree). Living with 9 people, to me, is a refusal to let go of halls experience and to take the chance and grow up a bit. You're allowing for the chance to be PISSED OFF when you want to concentrate in peace to do your vital essay, yet there are 8 other people who have no deadline for ages and just want to party! TOO MANY FACTORS. And, frankly, unless it was a mansion I'd be unhappy paying that sort of money for what is essentially your room plus a shared loo/kitchen/lounge. You should have to pay less for the shared stuff the more people there are, because mess/hygeine just gets worse each person you add to the list.

Ah, sorry dude, no screenshots or anything. Just thought I'd say that it always saddens me when threads of nostalgia are made and I realise how much I've forgotten. The good news is that vbulletin 4.0 has some nifty hacks/mods which allow the ability to 'like' a thread, which could lead to a hall of fame, or at the least help with ~Of The Year awards. Unfortunately we're on 3.8 and I can't find anything similar to help. But essentually most 'LOLO' movements on the forums, from a mod POV, have been a bit of a sigh. But I'll take this moment to say that these forums and all their incarnations have been a part of my life since I was barely a teen. Even now, my daily routine demands N-E for breakfast and as a nightcap. I care for this place to a ridiculous amount, and without the so-called 'friends' I have on here I'd definitely be a lot more depressed, if not dead. Each 'epic' thread I've been around for has been another reason to sigh, because even though they're fun to experience they're generally incompatable with intelligence. I love this place because of the people that are here, for the honesty and the efforts that people put into it. I constantly want to try and better it, and I hate to be pompous about it but a lot of what I do/did is not recorded in any log or anything (the same is said for all mods and admis) -- it is just something that, with scraps of my heart, I'm just glad to do. I mean ffs we've seen relationships form, we've seen children born! We've seen the opposites to these and we've seen more, and more. I'm honoured to have met more than 50 people who frequent on these boards and I can gladly say that not one of them has been a disappointment - not one of them a douche or a cunt or a dickhead. But then I never met rokhed. The strangest thing for me is the fact that I don't give a shit about nintendo. When I converse with my RL friends about what I've been up to and I have to try and explain mafia games or the BISH it fucking sucksTo add to that; much of what I talk about to friends stems from the discussions I have here. "I have a friend who argues that..." is a frequent starter for me -- That is, I consider people here geniune friends and also, regardless of whether I've taken part in the discussion, I consider their opinions worthy of future debate. Sometimes I wonder if it's somewhat unhealthy. I have RL friends, but they've dwindled since I moved back to brighton. In every event N-E has been my stability. People here know me more than people IRL do. It is the select few who are allowed to crossover. Saying that, these forums dictated a large and important part of my life - my furore in sheffield was entirely (except for one tiny bit :P) due to shorty. As if i'd go to uni because this dude I know online but never met said I was good at english so may as well give his course a go? Fucking hell. Insanity maximus. I've worked for the main site, I've made images, posted news stories. I've been a mod, nod, admin, badmin and a secret identity. It both pisses me off and makes me unbelievably proud to be associated with these forums, to the extent where it is ridiculous and totally a barrier for girlz. My current girlfriend is fairly understanding... But I don't think she quite gets it. I dread to think how I'll be in 20 years time. My kids will be posting in here, and people will still be making threads about religion/politics/nostalgia/football. Fucking hell. Can it last that long? This place grew up with me. I refuse to let it go. I've considered tattoos to memorise it several times... but the logo sucks. BIGDEEPBREATHTHENSIIIIIIIIIGH

/nando/'s added! I must stress that I can only really allow newbs to join for a week, max, as it's grossly unfair to those who condemned their fait a lot earlier :P
