  1. Reading a review about 'blink' from Dr. Who, they mentioned the parallelism between the Angels and What's the Time Mr. Wolf game.

    Do you know how do we call that game, in Spain?

    English Hide-and-Seek (escondite inglés).

    I am not kidding.

     

    Anyway, to the thread. The eighties for me is Enola Gay by OMD. My uncle had an electric piano and used to play it. The rest of memories are mainly from beginning of the nineties, after I was nine.

  2. I would so love to go to the Northern parts, famous from Pirate stories.

    If you want pirate history, go to England.

    :tongue:

    Hey Balth, remember to be OK and happy.

    Hi Lou!

    Recently I wanted to get Fireball Island. It is out of nostalgia, I know now the game will not be as awesome as I remember it. Do you have this often? Like, 'oh wow, surely The A Team was the best series ever'?

  3. wait a second. So I am away for, like, half a year and you all continue with your lifes? You shelfhish bashterdsh.

    I am sorry I could not make it to the HB meeting, hope you had fun. I have for certain that Brown is an excellent host. I wish I was half as good guest, seriously.

    Happy belated, Mark.

    Christian, hope you get well and the meds don't mess too much with you.

    Pooka... a baby??? Hwhat? How did it happen??

    Balthy, last time I checked you were starting a relationship. Apparently it still goes on? All the best.

    Anything else I should know? Did hildegard came back? Or Akhira become an astronaut?

    yeah i could scroll the thread for answers, but if i don't ask how are you, this message would be like 'oh hai i am passing by' and i would feel ackward. Awckward. Awkward. Who invented that word? And why is it dine, fine, late, mace, line, Valentine, but it's determine?

  4. Honestly tho, who's wearing nowadays those sock suspenders? Those that always remind me of Pippi Langstrumpf.

    I don't know the proper name, but my guess it's that they are outdated since elastopolymers hit the lingerie industry. Probably still worn due to cosmetic reasons.

     

    Anyway, sorry for deviating the point of this thread, we were talking about Keanu Reeves wearing lingerie.

  5. Who wears the best tux and fishnets?

    Probably John Constantine.

     

    Hum, one second.

    Sadly, I could not find any photo of Keanu Reeves with fishnets. You will have to imagine that.

    Unless... Erue, you have something else to do! :D

  6. It takes a lot of time if you want to do exams or seriously go deep into it. If you want to pass the exams, it's like 12 hours a week.

    But next october the 'science of cooking' starts. I will have a look, out of curiosity, but I won't spend a lot of time on it.

  7. There are several online universities and online resources used by universities. For instance, Coursera, Udemy, Khan Academy or Udacity.

    There is one started by the Massachussets Institute of Technology and Hardvard last year. It started on 2011 - 2012, and it is quite amazing. Recently, another 10 universities joined. Now you can learn from circuits to law to mythology to cooking science.

    Also, it's free.

    (unless you want the certificate, for that you have to pass the exams and also pay)

     

    I recommend it as an alternative to those couple of hours you spend in front of tv or browsing random stuff on internet every day.

  8. Actually, I posted a picture here of me and then my girlfriend after we started dating. That was four years ago. So this is my second picture I've posted online. You two must have missed that one. You could see my face in that one, no hat, glasses, or beard even.

    Yeeah i remember that one. I don't remember the girlfriend though.

  9. On the internet, even the smallest man can be a bully, because no one can touch you.

     

    Clearly, the boxer was wittier than the bully. If you are a bully, and you are small, and you are stupid, and you leave traces so they can find you, and you try your luck with people more clever than you (the boxer, in this case), you are digging your own hole and that still holds true.

  10. I'm late! I'm late!

    GI'E me a lass with a lump o' land,

    And we for live shall gang thegither;

    Tho' daft or wise, I'll ne'er demand,

    Or black or fair, it maksna whether.

    I'm aff wi' wit, and beauty will fade,

    And blood alane 's nae worth a shilling;

    But she that's rich, her market's made,

    For ilka charm about her's killing.

    Gi'e me a lass with a lump o' land,

    And in my bosom I'll hug my treasure;

    Gin I had ance her gear in my hand,

    Should love turn dowf, it will find pleasure.

    Laugh on wha likes; but there's my hand.

    I hate with poortith, though bonnie, to meddle:

    Unless they bring cash, or a lump o' land,

    They'se ne'er get me to dance to their fiddle.

    There's meikle gude love in bands and bags;

    And siller and gowd's a sweet complexion

    But beauty and wit are virtue, in rags,

    Have tint the art of gaining affection.

    Love tips his arrows and woods and parks,

    And castles, and riggs, and muirs, and meadows;

    And naething can catch our modern sparks,

    But weel-tocher'd lasses, or jointer'd widows.

  11. The bank accepted our souls. Now I can do the job interviews more relaxed. I thought the bank would not accept them because I am temporally unemployed.

    Listen, it's too long and strange to write in a short post and I don't want to bore you. Thing is, we bought a house in a bad moment, I didn't have a job and stuff, but things are getting better. So I am happy.
