Hey, keep it up, you're nearly half-way!

Any film that has stars quotations containing exclamation marks tends to default to that sort of film, no?

Mid-League Mashup Round 1: "c'est déjà entendu" The Hadenless Head has deferred passed the buck given up on farted been nice enough to let me take one of the bi-weekly (every tuesgay and girl friday?) write-ups off his hands. It'll be a little different to H's, so hypnotoadhypnotoadhypnotoadBOW DOWN TO YOUR NEW LEADERhypnotoadhypnotoadrohypnoltoad sorry if it... well, sorry if it sucks I guess. The unNEWsual Suspects Shorty is the bear in the dress at the bottom. Since its induction two three whenever it was, it has quickly grown the reputation of being a bonkers and unpredictable entity. Much like a moss. The bottom league is a test of patience and endurance for newcomers, the top league is where adolescent teams go to learn how real men play. The mid-league thus encompasses all the schizophrenic, fractured teams who are all, like some of McDonald's customers, scizophrenic, fractured 'just passing by'. So's your FACE. TWICE! Silverdale Hotpots took on Eights United in a fierce competition to see who could be exactly the same as the other person better. Eights United's striker J-E Flatland didn't get the memo, and the Hotpot's keeper Lacey in his slow (but, his teacher says, "steadily imrproving") reading manner, was still reading the memo as the first goal flew in from 12 yards out in the first 10 minutes of the game. Silverdale's team looked good all-round, but ultimately were kept at bay by the man of the match J-E Flatland. Edd, the cheeky monkey! In a persistent but not quite galactic manner, Odwinica scavenged a miraculous three points from a long-range goal that was also their only shot in the entire game. Athletic's keeper Bain played a sizzling 12-skill game, but in the 72nd minute he had a sneezing fit while Bello accidentally kicked teh ball while tripping over his own fatty-fat feet, and scored. Dink! The sneezing was so alarming and persistent that the referee had to intervene. Worried for his opponent's health, striker Pablo "Dini For Short"Dinicolantonio confessed to a rash bout of pre-match trickery. The referee utter lack of amusement led to "Dini For Short" earning a yellow card. Athletic remained in a state of hysterics for the rest of teh game, even earning a final yellow after the whistle as gone for "roffling" from the ref. Man of the match was nobody because I said so. Audio The Sixty-Fourthers fought hard to wreck their season's chances as early as possible. His striker Dilchad Osman was shown a second yellow for sticking his tongue out repeatedly. Soap Box Utd. were a bit fidgety in their opening game, kicking the ball as soon as they got it towards the opponent's goal in a vain attempt to create such maddening, skewed stats; 34% possession, 7 shots on goal. Osman's moonwalking off the pitch in an attempt to timewaste is directly responsible for his team's loss -- the referee added 12 minutes of added time, leading to Alfen scoring a sweet free kick in the 95th minute! No man of the match here, because I'm not actually going to do that. As far as I remember, there were no other games played that day. Player of the Day: Happenstance's Shigeru Kono Surprise of the Day: Soap Box's 95th minute winner I'm probably supposed to do other stuff, I'll add to it later when Haden reprimands me. Most Important Result: Shorty beating Gaggle ensures the league maintains its crazy reputation for giving one of the league favourites more work to do for their season, while also ensuring Shorty "I play two seasons out of three" McShortypants gets the boost in belief that promotion is a chance. Turned On The Style Award: 62% possession, 8 shots -- Happenstance exploded out of the blocks. Hopefully a premature feat so we can expect rubbish from him from now on. Right?

Everyone's gone PACKING CRAZY! I lost my phone in my "what's a morning?" phase. Tried to call it 10 minutes later and it went straight to answerphone. Mental work shift where it was pretty much just me. I'm pretty sure there's a global rule that one's last shift anywhere must be the worst shift they've ever had. I felt a bit like the Robert Duvall in Falling Down. Some people were genuinely upset. One girl saw me as I was getting searched on my way out, with my cardboard boxes, and went from smiles to ninja-tears-in-her-eyes in seconds, punctuated by a sequence of vocal sounds reflecting the downward spiral of her emotions as she took it all in. BLESS! Came home, housemates doing LEGENDARY cleaning. Did another three boxes of stuff... still doesn't seem like I've actually packed anything. I'm not very good at goodbyes. Still feels like I'll see everyone in a couple of days. Will probably hit me next week. Mate's offering me his spare phone; a nokia 6700 classic unlocked for £100. Deal or no deal? TOMORROW; - Go to town - Buy packing tape - Get more boxes from other Argos - Say g'bye to some people I know there - Football somewhere, somehow. - Shove stuff into boxes - Sort clothes; keep or bleep. - Go to netto - Buy cider - Slap Dan? EDIT that nobody will see: One sweet moment was when two friends (anna and andy, for the sheff guys that know me) just turned up while we were cleaning the flat. I'd forgotten I'd lost my phone, so they tried to warn me but it was nicer that they just turned up. They've promised to come visit me in brighton, and again offered a room to rent in derby if i need a half-way house in the next 3 months :P

You must be ahead of your time. Maybe you're ageing backwards! Like courtney cox. Except you're getting older. Today I accidentally became the best person at computer game designy-type stuff that ever existed in the North of England. My tutor kneeled before me. he drew a paintbrush on a piece of paper and gave it to me, and apologised. Then I forgot to eat all day because my home-help the doctors send me girlfriend is still away. I miss my maid. Will you be my friend?

You didn't mention thaaat, you just said your sister's.... Oh. Yeah... With you now.

Fail, Serebii! Bros before hoes, remember.

Ashley said something similar, so I guess I should explain :P The HWYD thread pretty much contains several distinct types of post, with certain users pretty much always saying the same thing. It's become a little stagnant, so I figured we could have a little fun with parodies and stereotypes! I just did a 'generic day in the life of [coolness bears]'. Do we 'get' it? Can it be fun now?

http://shop.gameplay.co.uk/webstore/helpfiles/feedback.asp Most sites offer some method of feedback, often hidden away under 'help' or 'contact', and that's the best way to complain/praise. Gameplay also seems to offer 'online help' but I'm too scared to talk to real humans/cyborgs. They also have a forum where they probably have some sort of recurring "dis plaic sux" sort of thread that needs pruning, I'm sure.

Today I suddenly realised my fingers are like armless tiny GIANTS with one eye Ilike cyclopses. Cycli? I went to make a sandwich but OH NO there was no pitta bread for my bananas and my mum shut my bedroom door again, so my day was definitely not spicy!... Then I went to the shops to buy some pitta bread. I couldn't find any on the shelves so I shouted to the guy whose name badge DAZZLED WITH AUTHORITY that no tescos employee should have. I am worried I now have radiation poisoning. WHERE IS YOUR PITTA MISTER DAZZLE MAN!! I shouted in my head. HERE ARE YOUR PITTAS YOU STINKING PARAGUAIAiN SMURF he thought back at me. HOW DO YOU SPELL PARAGUAIANI? I DON'T KNOW SIR. VERY WELL. YOU MAY CONTINUE. So Long story made a little less long, I still had a sandwich! Then I went to wooorkboooooo. I forgot to face the customers and gave them euros in change SO SILLYSAURUS. I JUST REALISED MY CYCLOPS HAVE CYCLOPPOSITES ON THE OTHER HAND [/coolness bears] (now you.)

And if you're definitely going to that dev conference, then definitely! So long as it doesn't conflict with the actual N-E meet...

I still don't understand what happened with the tattoo thing. They gave you an interview, in a car, while you were driving around for two hours? It's all confusing to me, as surely that's not what happened.

I mean the "Develop Conference" Wes was talking about

Wes; I guess it's a sandwich thing, but truthfully I don't know the specifics!

I think the majority of you are actually guilty of accepting friends requests just to look popular. I have a few female friends who do annoy me, however. But I keep them for the boobies. One of them is always complaining about how depressing everything is in life, and makes sure to find at least two things a day to be miserable about. Another one is constantly going on about her diet, and how she's not losing any weight, then at least 5 days a week goes "weeee chinese takeout again tonite!!!!" But aside from that, my news feed is usually an interesting mix of links, quotations, humorous thoughts and -- yes, farmville requests and such. I am guilty of mafia-wars-ing other people's walls, I'm sure.

Yay Brighton! Come to Brighton!

My friends on placement don't get any student finance support stuff... They just earn fuckloads of money and have rent paid for them and a company car, free petrol... Fuckers.

Sorry - I mean that you need to not care what she thinks/feels, that you ought to see that her behaviour/opinion is wrong, and you should choose to let her face teh emotional consequences rather than keeping them locked up inside of yourself. Your parents are fully grown adults! They can handle stressors and changes to their habitat. I guess it's hard to really comprehend other types of parents. I pretty much treat my parents as the people who brought me into this world -- I am grateful for them, but I do not think they have any right to control who I am or what I do. But I appreciate that being bi or gay is a different matter!

I think if you're rating something based on your enjoyment you should use a different scale -- coolness uses 7, others use 5 -- there's just not 10 levels of happiness :P

Lol, thanks :P This season is going to be desparate and dire, I can see it already! Worst team in the league, with players who've decided to play worse than they did last year -- But I shall endure! I think I'll be lucky to survive in this league. Am expecting a bit of a frequent thrashing... *sobs quietly*

Phone McD's/go in personally and try to get a shift switched with someone? Management won't mind who's working so long as the rota is full.

Actually that's not true. Breaking Bad is better.

I started watching e13 earlier -- so far I know it's about a trophy wife and her dead husband... So there's still hope for a crazy irish guy!

Yes mate, it's one of my regular watchings. Got s02e13 sitting here waiting to be watched. The last episode annoyed me a little with the whole UFO thing, but generally I love the show. A massive fan of Tim Roth as it is, so the show is great! I'd recommend Life if you like this - only two seasons long, and similarly episodic/lead genius character that Lie To Me and House also fall under. - Nobody else watching persons Unknown yet? Again I have the latest episode sitting here waiting to be watched, but so far it's similar to 4400 in the sense that the acting is slightly b-list, but the plot is strong enough to carry it.

Oxigen Waste's thread might give you an idea. Aside from that, I don't know what romantic things there are to do. Ride the wheel, boa-tride down the Thames, see a play, etc.
