Xpert 11 Season 13 (The Season of Hope and Change Reports)
jayseven replied to Haden's topic in General Chit Chat
10 chances to 0, 4 goals, get in 5 players in x11 -- curse eddage for having a better keeper than me these days The promotion race is between 4 teams, but at the moment the E3 (emo, edd, eights) looks favourites for promotion into the CRAZY LEAGUE. -
Getting paid to stop smoking - controversy?
jayseven replied to Raining_again's topic in General Chit Chat
Skipped the thread in order to not get tied up in any arguments; I smoke, and I disagree with this idea entirely. If people wish to give up, they need to do so because they want to give up, not because money, of all things that are evil in this world, is supposed to be their motivator. No. However! I have no idea what this story is. For all I know, the story equates to "people who wish to give up smoking get free nicotine patches", in which case, yeah, sure, free stuff to help kick the habit is fine. Yeah. I think a link to some sort of article relating to this 'news' would be handy before we start just stabbing the chimneys. -
Lawl! That's actually where me, letty, bard, stefkov, chuck and mcphee stayed during the n-e london meet 2008! Roadkill and my mate Ben (Benc0der, once upon a time) also crashed the place the 2nd night. I booked it, so I win. Anyway; because there were 6 of us we had our own room so I can't comment on what it's like sharing, but the other visitors seemed mostly to be 14-16 year old kids. And the staff decided to forget that we booked for two nights, so after the meet itself we returned to find all our stuff in bin-bags behind the reception desk... BUT it's cheap, the breakfast is decent enough and it truly is very close to King's Cross. The coinky-dinky of it all bemuses me lots.

Yes! I watch supernatural. A couple of weeks behind atm due to a dead laptop, but yes the show gets better and better. I'd say season 4 was a bit of a letdown, despite several very clever episodes that were presented as 'narrative' episodes. Season 5 continues the explosion in story, but I think there's been a lot more filler that hasn't been necessary. Oh and Supernatural used to be on Fridays straight after smallville. As far as I'm aware (which isn't very, so I'm almost certainly massively wrong), this season was teh only time it aired on a different day.

Charlie; she's keeping her options open. If you're totally not bothered about her like you say you are, then do the right thing and be unavailable to her for a few weeks to let their relationship cement. Dan; I Love You.

I've not had a drink since sunday, and I'm sitting here with my laptop and lots of stuff to watch. Normally I'd do it to the tune of cider to help relax. I have work at 11am so I'd not be hungover, netto closes at 8 so I'd have to decide soon. I'm going out tomorrow evening and I guess I'm thinking that I don't need an excuse to drink tonight as I have one tomorrow, so I'm asking for permission. I think I know what the answer is...

Charlie; certainly sounds like she's running around behind his back. Too early to confront her about that sitch, so maybe ask her to invite the bloke so you can meet the lucky chap? Soo... Somebody decide! Do I get any cider tonight?

What would you do if you woke up with your head sewn to the carpet?
jayseven replied to Iun's topic in General Chit Chat
First thing I'd do is go on the internet and tell the world! Become a youtube sensation, create a twitter account ([/i]"Day 23, 5pm, still stuck to the carpet", etc). -
- That's actually the waysevenly way - Saw half my family - Realise my dad is a bit of a tosser - Sister looked like she was going to cry when I mentioned how big her fetus probably is about now - Not in the "yay!" kind of way... - Lots of anecdotes, but I don't like to talk anymore. - NEW LAPTOP! Must be a vampire because it sparkles! - First port of call; catchuponstuff. Ultimate Fighter, House, Lost and Breaking Bad are first. - Ex came and stayed for a couple of days. Lots to think about. - Finished uni! Perhaps. Need to pass the exam. - Bought shoes, hoodies, PESTLE AND MORTAR, HAIRCUT! - Really, really can't decide whether to drink tonight or not - Work at 11am... One can in the house... you decide, NE!

What would you do if you woke up as the opposite sex?
jayseven replied to Happenstance's topic in General Chit Chat
I'd make a fugly girl, so I'd probably not really be able to take advantage of anything, but if I was half-hot I'd just spend all my time seeing how much free stuff I could get. -
Sorry to be dragging this out - large space between days I get online don't help. In general one-show threads like the Lost one, generally it is ok to talk about the latest show once it's aired in the UK, so those watching a week ahead via t'internet spoiler-tag their discussion. However, general, all-encompassing threads are different because the reader may not know what they are potentially going to stumble upon. Just because you don't give a shit about a TV show does not detract from the point at hand, does it? And just because it was annoying for you to know about buffy doesn't mean everyone else has to endure spoilers. While most TV shows are designed to pick up new viewers at the beginning of seasons etc, it's still good manners to not spoil anything for anyone. So I stick to my guns - anything you think may be a spoiler should be tagged and labelled appropriately so that people will know whether the contents will spoil the show for them. I really don't see any argument about it, and I don't think "I don't like the show so I don't care" really constitutes any meaning or weight for your part.

Being informed about whether a show has another season coming or not doesn't affect viewing a show in the same way as finding out Aeris dies (!), and generally people's reviews of TV shows are in spoiler tags for the large part. An overview/blurb of an episode that wouldn't be amiss from a TV schedule are common and give a viewer an idea of what to expect, rather than spelling out the entire course of the programme which would make the actual sitting and watching completely null and void. My logic concedes that not everything needs to be in spoiler tags! I know that the season finale for smallville is epiccool but I don't know why. You must accept that there's a difference? I'm not going to try and define the line any further because it's totally ridiculous to try and construct rules and procedures to prevent anything being spoiled ever, but judgment and common sense should make it clear when a tag is needed or not [/obv.], and I still stick with my decision that sparked this racket - summarizing smallville's seasons ought to be in spoiler tags so that people can choose whether to read up or not.

- Lots has happened - Went to Ely for family do - ... Nobody cares enough for me to make the effort to remember any of my last week - Exam in 2 hours! - Romanticism & C18th literature. - Rape of the Lock! Evelina! The Rivals! Moll Flanders! Lyrical Ballads! Persuasion! I hate it all. - Ex arrives as I finish - Who knows what the future holds? - Well, I want to go to Derby this weekend, so I guess I do a little. - LAPTOP SHOPPING BEGINS TODAY/MORROW! Not true. Where I work, due to the quirky system of paying-before-you-even-see-the-item, we can still ID the customer at collection point and, if they fail to provide proof, we have the right to withhold the item from them. It's something to do with the customer having to actually leave the store before the transaction is complete.

We can - we have spoiler tags for that exact purpose :P I do see what you mean, but in general references to a show, such as the HIMYM/Arrested Development gifs and quotes do not spoil the show because they are taken out of context, but something that reveals the plot or story that detracts from the enjoyment of watching a show afresh should be locked up in their tags, for decency's sake.

Perhaps, but personally I dislike any such practice - for instance shows like 24 I'm only on season 2 (or 3?) and while one could argue that it is a mundane practice to catch up, I'd still like to enjoy the shows 'afresh' as viewers were able to when they aired, regardless of how ancient their premier may have been. Yeah SOA is a summer show, and actually now that I think about it, I'm fairly sure that, along with Southland, you made a post a while back confirming their seasons 2/3!

RE: Smallville discussion; spoiler tags please! RE: show renewalls - I like the sound of some of the new shows. Always in need of fresh blood! Those lists don't have Sons of Anarchy or Southlands on - I'm sure SoA was given the green light ages ago, non?

Start reading now. By the time you get near the end of the 2nd book you'll have the crazy "omigodomigod I'm nearly done! HOW WILL I SURVIVE IF I DON'T HAVE THE NEXT BOOK!!" meltdown, and you'll run to your nearest waterstones at 3 in the morning, wearing only a nightgown and slippers and a comical sleeping hat, perhaps a candlestick in a holder to complete the look, and you'll camp out 'til the shop opens - unluckily for you it's a bank holiday so you have to wait a whole day, but at least you have the last 100 pages to keep you warm 'til then. I think I have books 2-7. I'd be happy to lend you book 3 for your reading duration.

Xpert 11 Season 13 (The Season of Hope and Change Reports)
jayseven replied to Haden's topic in General Chit Chat
a 4-4 draw must've been exciting to watch! Not too displeased, but am expecting more from my boys on the return leg at our patch.
