  1. I've not searched for any yet; just going through the pages. Stopping on page 107 - I've watched 968 movies so far, but there are a lot of movies I'm not sure on, so I don't bother adding Blerg!
  2. Cheers for the listal! Totally wasting my day with this now :P
  3. Woop woop! We managed to pull off some trickery of epicness last night. nami had been thinking for ages that we had managed to miss the Rise Against gig here in sheffield. Shorty and I knew it was still on, and had bought her a ticket and kept it hidden. We then told her that we were gonna go to the cinema (then out afterwards so she'd not kill us for dressing 'wrong'), and off we went. Now, the venue is next door to the cinema so we decided to try our luck. "say James, what was it you were saying about the box office?" "Ah yes! They're having some sort of technical issue. Last time I went we had to buy our tickets from over there *points to o2 academy*. Look, there are people queueing, that must be right." So we walk past about six people with Rise Against tees on, and nami still believing us. When we got to the venue there were two queues (upstairs/down) and nikki was about to ask a security guy "excuse me, where can I buy tickets for Bolt?" which would've been... embarassing... Shorty suggested I ask, which I did, and at that point I felt bad so I showed nikki my Rise Against ticket... and she was very, very confused about it! I can't believe we'd managed to trick her all this way. LONG BORING STORY WINNIT? Well support was Flobots and Antiflag. Flobots were body-poppin' good, violinist n'all. Antiflag were punkass and whatever. Rise Against were pretty good. I knew about 4 songs. We started about 10 rows of people out and as soon as the first song started we were pushed miles closer. And you weren't allowed to smoke! They wouldn't let you out! Madness. My leg was killing me for ages. This post is getting rather long and useless. Yeah, the manimpuation side of things is what makes it feel somehow wrong. The put-down thing was described to me in a certain way; if a girl says she's a model then you say something like "what like a hand model or something?" - a cheeky jab to 'reduce' her. Too many compliments and the girl will think that you don't think much of yourself. And yeah, I see this being a regular thing for the boys that I will undoubtedly be dragged into, sooner or later. Pray for me! ellmeister fail! Do what my ex did to my mess in her room - when you tidy, give her a drawer and put her shit in it. allocate her spaces for her stuff. Unfortunately this tends to mean that you end up allocating spaces for your stuff too, whis was probably their plan all along.
  4. Another way to solve the whole but-what-if-I-can't-go,-I-should-be-able-to-try-and-get-my-money-back thing; if you buy online you shouldn't be charged until the day of the event, or maybe you actually pay for it once you are inside the venue. That way if you don't go, you don't lose out.
  5. I'm sorry but if your parents can't find the means to support you through university because they would rather spend all their money on a new kitchen or a holiday or a bigger television, then... well then it sucks to be you.
  6. Y'know I've never understood how people can get an utterly wrong haircut. Just yell at them when they bring the clipper's out, or are lining up for too big a slice!
  7. Had mates over last night for a game of 1000 blank white cards which just never happened. Instead it was sailor Jerry's, beer, wine and diamond white cider. Oh dear. Anyone know who 'Mystery' is? A dude who claims he can pick up any girl. I've got two buds who have clearly been watching with a pen and paper, and last night they took Dan Dare with them to a club. Their tactics were well thought out -- girls think men are creeps if they just approach head-on, so they had a scripted idea that would at least break down any preconceptions of asshole-ness. I also beat Dan 3-1 on street fighter 4. He was quite drunk though.
  8. I hate this thread quite a lot of the time. I like the odd track mentioned, but in general it tends to be full of tripe, 1D songs that will be forgotten by all by the time we reach the age where music starts to make sense. In other, vague, news; The_Bard; I've introduced Bloody Beetroots to a few people since you mentioned them a few weeks ago. I've got a 45m~ track of their LP (I think?) which is seriously banging in a party scenario. Very nice.
  9. That is a brilliant piece I failed to mention1! Four-toed part of a clearly-massive statue... But just how could they explain it? Surely such a feat must've been created by earlier island settlers -- much earlier than the Lost anthology (which brings to question - can they travel to any point in time? why are these seemingly random occurances always within a so-called 'modern' era? Why not spaz out to a prehistoric moment?), and, of course, why only four toes? Two excellent points that need addressing. Just imagine if they never address the foot. Could make the entire show's legitimacy obsolete. The four toes is far more inexplicable than anything else. Good rememberance (is that even a word?) there, O_W. To be honest I've always been surprised how they don't seem to know the entire island yet. How big is it, and how long could it take to investigate it all? Not primary questions, just curious ones.
  10. Since I live with someone I 'met' on the internet, my mum has kinda calmed down about it all, really. Plus when there's a large number of people meeting at once the risks are drastically reduced.
  11. yeah, sorry about the bad episode naming. I don't think it will remain a ben/widmore battle. The island was around before they ever came to any sort of 'power', and there are clearly greater forces at work that empower them that we know little about. I mean, jacob cannot simply just be jack's dad, can he? That whole ghostly element is bizarre. It's the odd little bits of Lost that I really want answers to; the skeletal couple in the first season with the alchemist stones, the 'temple' in seasons... 3-5?... The 'madness' that drove Rousseau to kill everyone (was she just crazy or were the other people with her really trying to kill her?) and, of course, more dharma initiative stuff, which I think is obviously going to be a bit more of a focus with this season, if you consider the earlier shot of faraday at the start of the season. I do really wonder if everything will be answered. It would make for a painstakingly abstract episode for a finale to wrap everything up, so I'm sure there will be elements left out of it. I doubt we'll ever find out who was on the island first, especially with the warping, nor why it never appears in the middle of a continent (it moves through time and space, remember), or why Ben had that 'list' of 'chosen' individuals that were required (or how his lieutenants knew how to compose such a list), or why the children are so important. Of course, maybe everything will be answered. I'm not really fussed about getting any answers just yet, but I will be in the final season. I have no doubt that there are still plenty of new questions to be posed!
  12. Ah! So we just need a bogus reason? Ask The_Bard what he did for london. I don't remember his excuse, but I don't think he even told his parents he was going anywhere. They certainly didn't know he was in london, nor that he was sleeping in a room full of strangers he'd met off the internet that night. I think he just pretended to be at a mate's house! Say you and a mate are gonna go down and see a few museums/parks or something. It'll be mostly true.
  13. Ellmeister is on his way to sheffield! He's somehow got to get from his hotel to city centre (about 4 miles) for a gig sat night, and then back again via public transport afterwards in time to make his morning coach home. Finding out sheffield bus info is seriously annoying. I don't know teh places all too well so the names of their stops are USELESS. Maps on teh site are USELESS. Kinda hoping Dan will know something. I think I have people coming over tonight. Only one person has told me they're on their way, leaving the other four mia And I haven't bought any booze and need to leave the house to get some arg! Such major, major life issues. Found out I definitely can't go to amsterdam with a busful of brighton mates thanks to three essay deadlines. I got the message after the first deadline - did uni really have to rub it in so much?
  14. Aye, I can't remember the last time you could buy more than 4 anywhere. iirc even box offices are limiting how many an individual can buy. I remember when I queued up from 3am with a mate outside a box office in brighton the night before the green day tickets came out. We were 3rd/4th in line! We were buying like 6 tickets each...
  15. In a Final Destination sort of way, though.
  16. There was this one time, at band camp... OR! When Letty and I were having this, like, totally cool sleep-over in London, she told me everything. Everything. Everything. Everything. Everything. Or, y'know... not.
  17. Not his fault he loves the fact that he thinks literally is literally a lovely word. Life is good. Not great, but good. Lead character is played by That Dude From BandofBrothers, in a sort of House-but-very-friendly kinda way. Good bit from the 2nd ep was; "So why is the universe making fun of me?" "I don't know. Probably because it's insecure?"
  18. Much hatred for them. But what are the ways around it? Y' could have forced-pick-up at venue, but just with a code? can be texted. Maybe send tickets out so they arrive the day before/day of a gig? Unfair if the post goes wrong. Perhaps ticket sites operate like facebook, then police and shut down offenders? Or last... some form of ID verification at purchase and venue. Kinda reminds me of train tickets. You either book waaay in advance, or suddenly if you travel on the day you have to pay a crapload more money for a ticket that they sell to you even if they know there are no seats on the train left as they've all been reserved. BAH! STUFF! BAD!
  19. BOO YA! Take that, odders! ... I thought I'd try. Maybe for a split second - if you checked in here first - you'd've believed it. I scoured previous match reports and... well, I thought I had you figured out fairly well. I think my mistake was in ticking the pressure box - and I'm surprised that I played much better once I was down to 10 men. Theoretically if it was 10 vs 11 I would've won 2-1, amirite? 3-8 on aggregate. Not cool. Apart from that... well all the results went my way. Firmly tied to 4th place now. Realistically I could've earned maybe 2-4 more points if I had played better against gaggle in the first match and maybe taken better advantage over happenstance earlier this season - which would've still left me in 4th place so I can't complain. The relegation battle is looking very interesting; I think cube'll beat gaggle, leading moogle vs. villan to decide which of those two will join gaggle - my money is on villan to continue his good luck and survive. ReZ is 2nd place, shorty is winning again... crazy times! I think whoever ends up in 3rd is risking an extended stay in the lower league, should we not find enough replacements. tl;dr? Ah! Well done Villan! Interesting statistical analysis. Comparatively, for the current season I have more players in the top 20 for points than any other team; their scores also cumulating to more than any other team's. I have the 2nd-highest goalscorer; team-wise I have the lowest number of yellow cards in teh charts, but the joint-most reds. ... Yeah, I got nothin' spectacular. Curses.
  20. I saw that edit, grunchie! You peni *shocked face followed by immature giggles*
  21. Jordan has the supercock. Sorry!
  22. Rumours of a The Never Ending Story remake, too. Goodbye, childhood!
  23. 30 Rock - Larry King In the time of economic uncertainty who else would you turn to but an comedian who once got arrested for running down the highway in his underwear shouting "I am a Jedi!!" Nice use of how his crazy ramblings affected everyone else. Plus Seyma Hayek's boobs once again got full attention. "Tracey went to highschool"~ was my favourite one :P Has anyone here watched Life? It's good. Next 'big cool thing that everyone's talking about'. Unless they already have. ZEN muthafucka.
  24. Nuh-uh! I watched E-@THLETES today; it was basically a film about pro gamers, and they said that that is the new 'team sport'. And I believed them. They were pretty organised too. Slumdog Millionaire I can't honestly see why anyone wouldn't like this movie. I NEARLY CRIED. I had to keep thinking of real manly stuff at the end - stuff like bear wrestling and crushing entire cans with a fist and breaking walnuts with just two fingers and opening bottles with eyesockets (I don't know which gets you the most man-points - using your own socket or someone elses) and golf and counterstrike. Loved it. ETC!
