  1. I can't even begin to tell you all how excited I've been about the eyeball cutting up. As you know, my guy is quite squeamish and especially about eyes,, so I've gone on and on about it. Went for lunch with him and a friend the other day (who is also squeamish about eyes) and I brought it up, with sound effects. Our friend said to him , "My God, you get really sick at stuff like that, how can you sit here not fainting?" and he replied in a really weary voice "It's not the first time she's mentioned it." :D

     

    Also, the Biology teacher told us 2 cool stories, one about friends mum in the Blitz who walked out into the garden in the blackout and walked EYE FIRST INTO A NAIL the other about a woman who had her eyes removed at 16 and now works for Amnesty. She's not someone who likes to "act blind" so she was at a US airport and the guards didn't beleive her. They took her away and basically accused her of pulling a scam, so she said "If I can give you conclusive proof that I am blind will you release me?" the guard agreed, so she took her glasses off and POPPED OUT HER EYES AND HANDED THEM TO HIM at which point the guard fainted. Cool!

  2. If you're not sure whether it moves or not, print it off and have another look. Cool, innit, one of the kids (not one of mine) found it so I sat with him while we checked out loads of optical illusions. That was me, on library duty. God, I work hard.

     

    Donny, one of the science teachers brought a load of magic eye pictures into class the other day. Took me right back, it did. Then I realized I had a whole class of kids staring at me staring intently at this picture. It was the quietest I'd seen them in ages. :)

  3. Went into a Biology class and got to see an eyeball being diseccted. I have been waiting 4 weeks for this and was stupidly excited. What's best is the eyeball cutting up is going to happen again in a different class on Thursday, so I see two squished up eyes with the jelly pouring out in a week. How cool is my job?

  4. Suthernas sey the' caaan't understand mi when Ah talk too em, cos me accents a thick Yarkshire wun.

     

    Also, had this conversation with my French teacher friend.

     

    Franc: "Can you get me a cup?" (Good English, French accent)

     

    Me: "Wot? A coop?"

     

    It didn't sound like that to me, but he'd apparantly told all his French friends that in Yorkshire you have to say coop. :rolleyes:

    Ok, who's missing? Let's go get 'em, guys.

     

    We're still missing God and Mr Bentley. OMG! He probably won't haunt this site, will he? I'll miss him...

  6. Lou ise House of the dead 3 out for the ps2? I can't really afford any games now, as I must buy San Andreas and MGS3, and I'd have to get a light gun as well, but I have heard about them before- it's an arcade game, right?- and I have to admit my mouth is watering at the idea of mucho zombie carnage. My guy has an xbox- which he seems to be keeping me away from, protective fucker- and a light gun, but I've already discussed his aversion to gore, so I can't go there for bloody mayhem (he plays more RPG type games, no- he's not gay). Also, I PM'd Sethos, and there's no way my Euro copy of The Getaway will play on your Yank console, so sorry about that. :angry:
  7. Not particularly, but years ago one of my friends knew them, and when they played Donny he let them stay in his house. They took over, dragging loads of mates back, so none of my friends who were staying over had anywhere to sleep (someone actually had to sleep on the stairs), ate them out of house and home, and got them to buy the Sunday papers for them the next morning. Which wouldn't have been so bad, cept they are all 40+ with JOBS as well, and my mate was 22, unemployed and skint. Bloody freeloaders. :angry:
