  1. A long, long time ago... I can't still remember how you used to make me smile. And you knew if you had your chance, you'd do a funny little dance, and make me very happy for a while. But this February made me shiver... with ever combo I'd deliver: A red light on your doorstep, I'd only taken one more step. I can't remember if I cried when I realised you were broken inside, But something stung between my eyes... the day, my DS... died. ...so bye-bye little silver guy, You were heavy, Always ready for games on the fly, The good old times in days long gone by, I never thought that you'd say "goodbye", And this'd be the day that you'd die. RIP, Iun's DS Phat 2004-2010. Given as freebie by Nintendo. Sadly missed. :weep::weep::weep::weep::weep: My little DS. Been with me for 6 years - went to America with me, spent countless nights playing FFTA2, those quiet business trips with nothing to do... spent 3 years here with me in China, but the battery now retains a 30 minute charge at most. No replacements available here any more. Poor little guy.
  2. So far not so good: The community representative just turned up at the door to take down my passport number. Eek! Wouldn't be a problem, but TECHNICALLY I'm not supposed to be living here as my address is registered as being somewhere else -my wife's parents' home. The problem comes if she speaks to the local police station and they put two-and-two together. But really, it's their own (and my landlord's) damn fault: The police insist I have a valid address, which is fine and dandy. However, to have a valid address, you need to show either your proof of home ownership or the landlord's home ownership. As it's a rented house, I don't have that proof. It's the landlord's responsibility. BUT WAIT! In a desire to take advantage of the recent house-price boom, the landlord sold the house. We still have a rental contract with them until May. Because they sold the house, their proof of ownership is now with the bank to help them finance another mortgage. They can't get that proof of ownership as it stays there for another month, and I needed to re-register the other day to update my Visa for the next year. I asked the police if it was possible to register without that proof: ABSOLUTELY NOT, was the answer. So I told them I lived somewhere else, which could get me thrown out of the country if they feel like it. Kobayashi Maru.
  3. Oh man, it happens all the time, y'know. There's a new proposed rail link to the outskirts of the city to the International airport... called the the "F-Link".

     

    What's worse, the fact that we have nothing better to do than notice random rubbish, or the fact that it reminds us of our beloved internet forum?

     

    The line just isn't clear for me anymore...

  4. Yeah, that's something I agree with entirely: youth players in the Premiership need to be developed more and more, not just for the national side, but also the overall level of the game. It's a concept I'd love to see at the Toon, but with the fickleness of most of our fans, I can't see it making any real headway. Sad. Especially when you see people like Steven Taylor, Nile Ranger and Forster touted as the next big things, but we'd much rather buy a big name.
  5. I love you more and more every day, you know that? I had a boyfriend in University, but we never went "all the way". The way we went was pretty awesome though. And I'm totally gay for: Garrett Wang, Arnie, Karl Urban, Jamie Bamber, Robert Downey Jr and Denzel Washington to name but a few. And Michael Biehn. And of course Ian Mckellan, but just so I could say to my grandchildren: "I once felt I had a great actor in me."
  6. Fix'd. Actually, on a serious note: I'm wondering how many NE'ers would identify themselves as bisexual, or having been at some point?
  7. Starbuck has no boobs, and she looks like a shark when she smiles.
  8. Happy Birthday Sprout, your Christmas are as charming as your good self!
  9. James Joyce was pretty much the archetypal non-linear writer.
  10. Margarine. Loincloth. Stick. Seed. ^ Check you have everything, then you're good to go. The rest will take care of itself.
  11. Exactly. You have to step on your nerves and be the best DudeDazz you can be. Treat it like you were just meeting a new friend - if she's got the potential for love, then take it further, if it's just friendship, then you've gained a new friend! The most important thing to remember on a first date is the entrance you make. For this you will need an ounce of margarine, a loincloth and a big stick. Take off your clothes, smear on the margarine, put on the loincloth and knock on her door. When she opens, brandish the stick fiercely and shout "I AM GALDAR, AVENGER OF THE FOREST, I HAVE COME TO BRING YOU MY SEED!" Oh, and don't forget to pay for the dinner and book her a taxi home, you don't want her to think you are weird or anything.
  12. I have to say, I think this is still a relevant topic. As many other countries and cities - including Shanghai, are instituting smoking bans in public places, the difference to air quality and atmosphere is noticeable. Case in point: when Mrs Iun and I revisited the homeland at Christmas, we were so wonderfully and pleasantly surprised that the smoking ban in restaurants was being properly implemented. When I left the UK, pubs were still full of that acrid blue smoke everywhere, and you left smelling like crap. In Shanghai, almost everyone smokes, and it shits up clothes, hair and your throat in all the pubs and restaurants. I don't piss in your lungs, I don't want your second hand smoke in mine.
  13. ...let's see what enormously implausible plot twists we can find this time.

    No, I never want to fight with you again Happy Birthday, TenTen! How's Snowy?
  15. ...you... you wouldn't miss us, just the arguments? Ah, wait, no! Star Trek Line Opportunity! "I will miss our arguments, they were after all, all we had left."
  16. Sorry, I keep meaning to get this sorted. Can you send me the karaoke MIDI we're going to use so I can sync it this time?
  17. Good gravy! That Liverpool match was atrocious! I have never seen a team with fewer creative ideas against supposedly inferior opposition. Hoof the ball! ... no that didn't work... erm... Hoof the ball! ...oh, damn... I know! Hoof the ball!
  18. But that number just happens to be outweighed by the mahoosive fatties? Naw, but my stepmother goes to Weightwatchers. When I was in England I kept making beeping noises every time she moved backwards! Naw, but she does need a little help with her weight. But she doesn't need any help eating her dinner! Naw, but obesity is a terrible thing to have to live with. Especially if you have to wake up every day next to a sea-cow! Naw, but people really can be sensitive about their weight. Just like whales are sensitive through all them layers of blubber! Naw, but if you are doing something about the problem then that's a good step. Especially when every step you take rocks the house!
  19. Panic Attacks. I have one a year, they tend to precede one of my bipolar depression phases. No way to avoid them, just deep breaths and tell yourself in your head to calm down. Once you've had a few, their effects last a shorter period of time and they become easier to manage - you can't control them, otherwise you would never have them, simply learn a personal method to make them more manageable.
