Iun

I just don't get it, sorry. I I have used the training and levelled up but seen no significant stat changes... I have been a poke fan since Re, but have no idea what an EV is or how it may help me or how the super training works. Would one of you experts explain to me how my +4 defence training helps me directly?

1: What is EV training and how may it amuse me? 2: What is the point of super training? It says "Your defence increased +4!" and then I look on the actual stats of the pokemon and... no, no it hasn't. The manual doesn't exist, so what's the point?

I know. (Cue Terminator music)

Balance and respect, that's important - if she's at home "being a housewife" then that's what she should do. If you are the provider then that's what you should be. Organise your roles properly and respect the lines associated with them. Neither one of you should have to shoulder all the responsibility.

I don't know, I think Rebecca is a beautiful name. If I ever spawn (and it's looking increasingly unlikely) my daughter's name will be Rebecca Elizabeth Iunna Belladonna Jastallis Teleka Hockley. As to ruining an 11 Year-olds' day: It's the law, like it or lump it, it's the law. I'm not allowed to punch people hard in the kidneys because it's against the law and therefore I don't do it. I think it's a stupid law because some people would improve their lives and themselves if they received a good hard blow somewhere sensitive. Some kids are perfectly capable of understanding and viewing the violence objectively in GTA, however, they're not by law allowed to purchase it - nor are you allow to sell it if you suspect it will be given to a minor.

Thoroughly enjoyed the second episode. Much better than the first, which was also good.

Or someone who will embezzle everything but leave you with just enough to make a bare bones profit?

I told her and her first reaction was: "In my culture, when someone receives an award they take all their family out for dinner and pay for it." "Um... That's the exact opposite of where I come from." "Well, you're in China so yo-WHO ARE YOU TEXTING?" "My friends and family to let them know I passed..." Anyway, this is the Good Stuff thread.

I've just been informed that I have successfully completed my Master's Degree with Merit! Addendum: Mrs Iun still managed to find a way to fucking ruin it by being selfish.

That's not Owen Wilson that's Michael Keaton in Groundhog Juice. Truly a disturbing movie.

I had several great ones working in GAME back in the day. Me: Ok, for a return all you need to do is write your name address and telephone number and the reason for the return and I'll be happy to give you a replacement. Them: Why? Why do you need my name, address and telephone number? What's it to you? Why do they need to know? Me: (Looking around shifty eyed, leaning forward, whispering) I ... can't ... answer... that... question... now... sir.... someone... might... hear... me.... they have ears.... everywhere... Them: (Shocked) Oh god, really? (Runs out of the store)

Because it was just so unreasonably awful?

@Aneres11 I already own a 3DS and I am getting a 2DS for my sister for Christmas, that way we can connect UK-China and play some games together. The 2DS price really appeals to me, but if the battery is not better and the screen isn't bigger, there's no point in my changing the system.

Hmm, after reading your review, I'm not sure if this is something I should be picking up - the lack of 3D doesn't bother me in the slightest - I am physically unable to see 3D. However, button quality and screen size are a big question mark - the main reason I want a new one is to have a bigger screen to play on. What's the battery life like?

I'd like to nominate this for Post of the Year. You took what I was thinking and made it real with words, purty words.

Well, you just STAY THERE AND THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU'VE DONE.

I might be going as Link or Commander Shepherd - I'll have to paint/attach a red and white stripe to my body armor, or alternatively buy a Link costume. I haven't decided which yet.

Kinda spoils things when one person is so dominant the whole damn time, no? Every attempt to get "into" formula one has been spoiled by the fact that it often ends up as a one-horse (speedy little car thing?) race by about 15 minutes in. Then my attention completely wanes.

You're telling me. I remember I got XIII for the original xbox back in the day for 4.99 - and delivered to my address in France! The no delivery charge deal was fantastic and made them a much better choice than Amazon in 70% of cases.

Didn't I read somewhere that play.com has gone exclusively "marketplace"? If so, this is a shabby way to treat its sellers.

My sentiments exactly.

I don't give a rats ass who they are or where they come from, can they help us win a tournament?

I did try watching that last Christmas with my sister and stepmother for the sake of some family bonding time. It wasn't for me, but they enjoyed themselves.

No, we have an argument about once a week. It's invariably over money. "I need (want) x and you need to give me money for it." And if I say no I'm irresponsible, thoughtless, I don't love her and she doesn't feel safe in the relationship. I should probably leave, yes. But that's a pretty hard thing to do. In her defence, I could be viewed as miserly - I always make sure our mortgage is paid and that we have a minimum value of savings, and then we can do other things. Problem is she views herself as sole owner "MY car!" "MY house!" But it's me that has to fork over the big bucks. In fairness, she pays the food and bills and she earns less, so there is a kind of balance. But all the big outgoings are mine alone to handle. For example,I started my PGCE at last, and that's costing 6 k to do via distance. It wiped out all of my savings for retirement that I'd been putting together and necessitated me earning another 2k in 2 months - over and above everything else. Then she gets nasty when I say I'm going to have difficulty giving her money for the plane tickets. I slaved to earn another 50% of my salary, and then she makes out I'm a bad person because I won't do more. For the last four years of marriage, I have had maybe ten complete weekends that weren't government-mandated holidays as I have to work Saturdays in order to save for retirement. When I get in at home she then complains that I spend no time with her and demands that I teach her son for an hour every Saturday evening... I'm an idiot for staying with her, but despite this, there is love here and severing the cord scares me - I'm effectively alone here.
