Yes... yes that's it... I was ahead of you, but I went down, for some wild, unknown, bizarre reason :P

Glad you had a good time, and good luck with work experience.
My friend missed just a day of depositing for me, but I guess that was Internet problems and at least he did deposit for the other days.
Ah well. Life goes on, I suppose.

Mehhh... not really. Top 300 is a good one, though, as it means you get onto the B/P ranks 51+ list.

Haven't we all. Personally I relish the distraction that NG provides me with.

Well, if I decided to drink, I'd end up spending quite a bit on beer and such. I didn't actually drink in the end, as I decided that it's better to save as much money as possible for travel expenses, as I'm hoping to go to Australia to stay with a friend of mine in May. Need to book the ticket by March 10th though, hence the need to save cash.
Unless it's too spendy for you, how about drinking and then taking a cab home? Unless the friend's house is way too far away and all, but hey... you're not in super-wide-open-spread-out USA over here, so it can't be THAT far away. #;-}>
Ah but the thing is, I live about 15-20 miles outside of the nearest *good* city for evenings out, and cab drivers tend to try and take the piss a bit with fares, especially when you've had a few and they think they can extort you out of more money.
One time a friend and I had a foreign cab driver, and he tried to charge us £60 for a 5-6 mile journey, which is just under $120 at the current exchange rate. Extortionate, no? We refused to pay and called the cab company, and he drove off before we could get through to them. The cab company said afterwards that if it happened again, we should take his driver's number and report him. Meh, free journey, I guess.
ABSENT IS GONE? Oh my gods. Lame. ;_;
I guess so. He hasn't posted or anything since he created that news post, and comments are disabled. It is indeed pretty lame.
I took cooking lessons and was into cooking when I was a kid, actually.
I never said I've never cooked. Just haven't been into it much in my adult life.
Fair enough, then. I only really cook when I have the time, so once I've finished with my gap year and I'm working full time, etc, I probably won't have a lot of time for it.
You could always do English lit and then go to law school after, right?
I could do, but due to my Army aspirations, I'd prefer to go in at a reasonably young age, which means taking one or the other. If I did both, it would probably end up being 6-7 years in University, meaning that by the time I go to Sandhurst (the officer training academy), I'd be about 26-27, and then Sandhurst is another year of training before receiving your formal commission. I'd be within the age limit for going to Sandhurst (29), but I'd prefer to be younger when I go, as it's fairly physically demanding.
Ahh life plans FTW!!
Sure it does, but seriously I don't remember a time in the Wi/HT? history when there were this many Brits around. I mean, way back in the day jonthomson was the only one around (that I can think of)... and then came Denvish, of course, and others.
It's a golden age of diversity for the Wi/Ht?! :)
But like I said, I never got fluent. I don't retain very much due to the smattering of instruction/immersion I experienced in each but never enough in any one to get great at it.
Some people seem to pick up languages fairly easily. One of my friends whom I went to Amsterdam with last year picked up Dutch over the course of the week that we were there for. Obviously, he wasn't anywhere near fluent by the end, but he easily knew enough to get by, which is impressive to me, as I'm not that great with learning foreign languages.
Especially if they hilariously make errors in their own posts.
The irony fairy is tripping them up :P

How does it compare to your old one?
Well, I'll be talking about the Rugby to various Welshmen this morning about how they scarcely deserved to beat Italy by the huge margin that they did.
They won't like that :) My dad is a Wales supporter, but he actually lives in Wales so I don't have to put up with his nonsense. Did you happen to catch the Ireland vs. Scotland match? I saw the highlights after the England game, and the Irish really look in top form this season. I was really impressed with some of their tries.

It better be an emotional rollercoaster.

Heh, like I said in the EGB, we now have the same level, aura, and age. We're practically the same person :P
