Wench - why were we supposed to evacuate. Do you know where we are -- is this a mental institution?

I should keep a hold of those drugs. We don't want anyone to do anything stupid. I don't know about stairs, son. Perhaps behind this door... *tries the door*

Quick, put wench on a bed. Do we have access to a bathroom of any sort? Someone get this man some water! Is there anything else to read in the dossier? WHAT COLOUR ARE MY EYS! *rummages in the cupboard to see if there is anything of interest in there*

Er-no. Bugsy Malone, bitches!

Strider; is it a part-time position they're offering you? Is there a possibility that you can transfer to a branch near uni?

(I don't understand - the room is empty, so presumably the beds are empty, so if we're waking up then we're not in teh room... is this an error or intentional?)

I'll give it a go Here's hoping it's suitably epic!

Wow I didn't think I was in the running for anything haha! Nice one haden. The last couple of seasons you've changed teh face of the game!

Had a few sessions on Left4Dead (still on the first game!) and managed to get an anchievement I was missing - 3 survivors incapacitated within 5 seconds on Crash Course I smoked one as a tank whacked the other two. Love it. Still feel utterly shit at the game, though - I'm really trying to get the hunter-pounce-for-25-damage on Crash Course achievey but the closest I've gotten is 17. Really need some luck. Also took up teh MW2 solo camplain and... it's awsome. Was not expecting it to toy with my emotions as it has - awe, shock, sadness... Very, very surprised. A genuine joy to play! Only playing on regular, but I'm tempted to try and jump straight to Vet mode and tear my (hair out) way through that. Mate helped me bump my borderlands character back to a reasonable level (housemate accidentally deleted my level 28~ character). Only took about 30 mins and now I feel like I can play the game again, rather than wasting hours of my life trying to get back to exactly where I was previously. Wanted to buy Castle Crashers as I felt like a quick burn on it, but it's still 1200?! Very annoying. (My How Was Your Gaming Day? post...)

Tongue smiley.

Bad daft. Smoking should not be glamorised or encouraged, because it is bad, but you shouldn't treat smokers with contempt because they've chosen to commit a slow suicide. Sheikah; http://www.accessexcellence.org/WN/SUA03/medical_tobacco.php (although that's really only to do with nicotine, and the other 3,999 chemicals you smoke can't really help, I'm just wanting to say that there are some nice elements to smoking, they're just totally and utterly outweighed by the negatives. Plus I have a suspicion that research is all made by tobacco companies)

I have a red shirt, too! Arg, ostriches! Without the tea or the riches. Don't know why I said it like that...

congrats nami, congrats wesley (sorry to hear of your maid-less life though ) and props to dan for the exam. And ashley - i'll be working in meadowhall from 12.30-4ish or something, and i hear you like a man in uniform :P If I may, I might swing a text your way when you're done

I stayed up til 7 and got up at 1

So did mine! FLIPSIDE! Drums are always on Hard for me, venturing towards expert. I don't have to worry about the game not noticing that I'm actually playing the damn note, y'see.

All this talk has got me hungry for cigarettes, so the first thing I will actually do with my day is go buy some smokes. Cooking some spaghetti meatballs for a mate tonight - he's providing the booze in return, and we'll watch some movies and play some games.

-"Nothing more disgusting" was your statement, to which I 'lashed out' with an example of something that would be more disgusting. Your statement was overly dramatic, and troll-baiting rather than debating. -You also have me to thank for the large investments in funding cancer research and the extra tax contributions that go towards medical treatment of people I've never even met. Money is the root, you can bury your wherever you please but you can't act sanctimonious because you give your cash to that fat suit, not this one. -Smokers generally start through peer pressure, or are a by-product of being too drunk to think properly, or smoking lots of weed and wanting a 'high'. -Habits are hard to quit. Tisthetruth. -Cigarette smoke is not as harmful as exhaust fumes (I went there...), so you should be sure to be unable to comprehend why anyone drives, while you're at it. -well-being is malleable, and changes with time. What people think is fantastic today may well be near-sin tomorrow. -if we are generalising, then smoking is cool and gets you all the hot chicks -cigarette butts are one of the primary sources of litter in the UK (don't know about the rest of the world). Outside my house there are dozens. I take a weird pride in it. Litter annoys people because it is ugly. People don't care about the actual damage. -non-smokers are also inconsiderate. People who drive through puddles are inconsiderate. The bus driver who won't accept my note is inconsiderate. People who play their music loud, in cars or even headphones, are inconsiderate. Neighbours who stay up all night watching bollywood are inconsiderate. The council doing roadworks outside my house on a sunday morning.... bleh. It is hard for anyone to be fully considerate of others all the time. Because people think smoking is SO VERY VERY DANGEROUS they're more bothered than ever before. There is no real argument. Smoking is bad. I get it. But it's not the worst. Deal.

in 30 years the number of smokers has effectively halved (and the amount of hatred towards smokers has increased tenfold), so it's believable. But on a personal level, people don't have to be so darn mean to me about it. *points to car fumes for a bit*

To the only person probably more emo than me on the forums! *raises glass* *breaks it on floor and cuts self with it* I WANT MY THRONE BACK

You're right with the inch/mile philosophy, which is why I think generally nowadays people will turn a blind eye to a smoker at the end of a platform, miles away from anyone else. When teh ban came into place the staff were ridiculous about it, hiking up the platform to cough in my face, tell me that if I want to kill them I'll have to pay £50 to try. I don't really see how mixes like sheffield make a difference. Essentially, you should be allowed to smoke in a workplace if you are outdoors and away from the Nonnies. Then report them!!!!!1212!£qr As wes points out, I guess most people ignore that aspect of the ban now! Yeah walking through the clouds to get in/out of some pubs and clubs isn't ideal, and many places with bouncers ask you to walk along the road a bit. It's a shame, but truly a minor annoyance compared to before (and in my experience rarely as bad as you make out). We will eventually be herded into public smoking areas, or assigned buildings where we're allowed to go in and smoke (like the old smoking areas at airports - possibly the scummiest, most depressing rooms in existence), but for now we smokers merely ask to be treated with a little reality - our smoke vs cars, etc. I think you'll find smokers have done it outdoors :P It's been a couple of years now since the ban, which means I've bared these 'harsh conditions' and... well it's not been that bad :P It's nice to take five minutes from the hustle, and get some quiet time and - seriously - a few drags on the fresh air around does wonders. Yes, it's balanced with grey cancer smoke, but still. True. If someone wasn't happy with my smoking, especially a friend, I'd want them to say something to me. I'm sure none of my friends remember when I ask them "is it alright if I smoke?" On the fliiipsiiiide- When I'm sitting outside my own house, or in the middle of a park reading a book, I don't deserve to have passers by berating me for being a murderous wretch. I'm forced away from the indoors and I don't get much in the way of thanks for it :P (tl;dr - smoking ban is a great idea, but we need more common sense and communication!)

"On 19 January 2010, Cadbury finally approved a revised offer from Kraft, valuing the confectionery business at £11.5 billion ($17.9 billion)." http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/8467007.stm Kraft borrowed something like £7b to fund the deal, so job cuts are likely! Well I'm doing my bit for the americans and am going to Cadbury's World in feb, dressed as an Umpa Lumpa. Not kidding.

Nope, 19 5 is what he is. Goal instincts, quicker than most... and moody It was the only 19 5 to come up on my deadline search, and I put in 3m as my top bid not thinking it'd get as high as it did! Not going to be a good season, this... I never have any luck buying or selling players. Eddage got a similarly rated player for a quarter of the price so I just suck at the transfer market! In my xpert team I have 10m to play with, which is a bit nicer. Got some great youth with good skill that I'll build up and sell in a few years, but may invest in a 24 9 player for around 6m...

DAMN STRAIGHT. Being a veteran at GH shouldn't mean "yeah I got used to the shitly designed controllers and learned to use my pecs while I strummed in order to keep the pieces of plastic closer together..." The equipment shouldn't be an issue. *gangs up*
