  1. You're all beardy weirdy beer freaks arent you?  :D

     

    What gets your taste buds (heh) going then? Dont tell me, warm, dark, hangover inducing stuff only brewed in one little room in Derby.  :biggrin:

    Damn am I that transparent. :)

     

    What gets my taste buds going? Avoiding obvious double entendres :lol:

     

    Probably have to go with Black Sheep Riggwelter, a nice Mild or some other equally dark Ale. Can't stand Lager. Like to do a nice Scrumpy or Cider on a hot day though (very refreshing).

  2. Ineterstingly, Daredvil's lie detector senses are wrong in The White Tiger Case.

    Bendis dont seem to make a big stink about it at all.

    Does anyone know if this has happened before in Daredevil history?

    It has happened where DD has been fooled by someone with a pacemaker. (Don't know the story from your title so maybe the same one)

     

    The guy's heartbeat was regulated by the pacemaker and so didn't give the telltale skip he would normally recognise when someone lies. Can't remember the issue so will get back to you on that.

  3. First record I had as a present was Grease - The Soundtrack  :icon_redface:  :icon_redface:

     

    There's nowt wrong with that!! It's a classic!

    Very true.

     

    However I think realistically I probably should have destroyed it rather than still owning it to this day. Does tend to get me a few funny looks from people when they see it as part of my collection and I really need to stop singing along to all the tracks whenever I hear them. :lol: :lol:

  4. My stupid scanner isn't working, so I can't post my handwriting...

    Will have to try and fix it over the weekend. You not happy with the German installation then? :lol: :lol:

  5. My cursive has looked like an 8 year olds writing since I was probably .... 8 :) . So try not to use it.

     

    Tend to write in block capitals (so others can read it), unless forced to write in cursive on things like job applications. When I do use capitals I tend to write the first letter slightly bigger as well (not sure why though :-? ) like this HELLO.

  6. Inca, I trusted you.

    Do you need someone to point out an obvious mistake? :lol:

     

    Thanks everyone. I have now succesfully downloaded two songs to my phone, so hurrah!

    One of those would have been done when I wasn't even there. I feel so proud of you. :happy:

  7. Settled everything out with my friend yesterday. Now I have 1 friend less than yesterday morning. As much as it hurts, it's for the best... I rather have no friends, then have friends who wear masks and hide their intentions in front of me. This is a third person I lost in the same way. I'm cursed.  :sad:

    Pity it had to work out that way but better to have settled it now than it become a major problem later.

  8. As a little girl she was playing in the kitchen and getting under her mother's feet who was cooking the dinner. Her mum had a pan of boiling oil ready to deep fry some chips or something. The girl is being a nuisance and so her mother snaps picks up the oil pan and throws it over her daughter's head.  :ohmy:

     

    Fucking [over-used word]s like that don't deserve kids.  :icon_evil:

    :o Seriously not what I expected on starting to read your post.

     

    I am shocked that anyone could do that. :angry: [over-used word] is not the word :o

  9. I have a problem. Or a question... something... What to do when your best friend wants to stop seeing you because he's affraid of falling in love?

    Sounds like he is almost there already or he would not of mentioned it. I am assuming you mean falling in love with you. The best thing to do is talk it through and settle it before it becomes a problem. If you make it clear where you both stand in the friendship then there shouldn't be any awkwardness. If it really does become a problem then you both need to talk about whether you can have a friendship at all.

     

    I know from my own experiences that it is very difficult to have anything more than a passing acquaintance with someone that you have strong feelings for and would like more from.

     

    Obviously he values your friendship and feelings greatly.

  10. Christian. If there's nothing else wrong with the laptop and it has a USB port or something, you might be able to get away with just buying another keyboard and hooking it up to the laptop.

    Christian - if you really wanted, with the help of a docking station, you could plug in a keyboard, mouse (if you don't like the pad) and monitor.

  11. I'd like to thank you all!  As you know, from time to time I feel like my life is falling apart.  You guys have consistantly been my teather to sanity

    I can only assume you mean by showing you what true insanity really looks like. :lol: :lol:

     

    Good site and great fun. :)

  12. Finally got round to watching the second episode and on the whole it was ok but there were a few things that let it down.

     

    I totally agree with the fact that wolfsbane would have made more sense than mistletoe and surely it would have been believable for the alien werewolf to be hugely allergic rather than say it had been bred into it (or am I just mad?) after all Martians can be killed by the common cold according to HG Wells.

     

    Secondly why the hell were the monks dressed in bright red outfits and why even give them martial arts abilities for a 20 second fight scene!! Made about as much sense as having Cassandra and cat nurses in the first episode (IE none whatsoever - see below for more details).

     

    What the hell was the concentrated moonlight kills it bit all about? Nice idea of trap within a trap but poorly executed. Prince Albert and the former lord spend loads of time preparing a device to kill this alien werewolf and in order for it to work you have to place the worlds biggest diamond on the floor in front of it!!! Very technical I don't think. Who let that bit in? :mad:

     

    On the whole I have been enjoying this series but they really need to spend less on glossy pseudo-american film effects and more on solid stories which a decent amount of suspense.

     

    For those of you who care my problem with the first episode (Pooka I know you've heard this so you can jump to the next post now ) is that among other things there was no need for Cassandra to be in it at all. What did she add that the Doctor couldn't of discovered himself?

     

    1) Rose could of been kidnapped by the Sisters for experimentation instead of by Cassandra (new genetic stock etc.)

    2) Doctor overheard the Sisters mentioning Intensive Care so could of discovered the anomaly on the map and found the tanks himself (able to rescue Rose along the way)

    3) The Sisters did nothing as cats (except pop their claws then run!!) so save a bit of cash on makeup and hire some decent actors.

    4) Discovering the tanks would of made a decent cliffhangar ending of a 2-part story (look how many of them there are, oooh :) )

    5) Why make the Sisters significantly different from the patients? (In my opinion it is far scarier that the humans could experiment on themselves so callously)

    6) The miracle cure ending (discussed to death already)

    7) The only reasons I can see for Cassandra is to allow Rose and the Doctor to kiss but it not really to be them

    &

    8) So she could have the death scene after repenting but she was already dead in the other series so why bring her back!!!

     

    Won't stop me watching but is disappointing.
