You'd think that you would have built up a tolerance, by now, wouldn't you?

Well, having nine pints or something at Manchester SHOULD have made me throw up but it didn't. Yeah, I'm having a better resistance now but that makes it harder to get drunk.

I've thrown up from drinking twice. The first time was my 18th birthday and I was drinking all sorts of shit, but I still swear that it was a bad scotch egg. The second was the 2007 Xmas party, where I had somewhere in the region of 14 Southern Comfort and Cokes, but I have it on good authority that most of them were doubles.

The next morning, when I got up, I was fine, but everyone else was nursing sore heads. I helped myself to most of the fried breakfast and was fine on the 150+ mile trip home from deepest darkest Wales.

Manchester meets could take over London meets. Even Luis said that but of course it will be necessary for 2012.

What? Why not Birmingham? It would be easier for me, that's all...

For you, perhaps. :P What about the others who are all over the country? A few of us feel Manchester feels more central, thus fair to the majority. And besides, does Birmingham have a gaming bar?

I'm sure it does somewhere. Contact Leo and see if he knows. We found a decent bowling alley for the 'meet' last time, which had 3 people turn up to :P Five ways, which has a bowling alley, arcade, pool hall and cinema.

It doesn't matter how drunk YOU are. If only Coop is even more drunk then you, we'll be fine.

The problem is, Coop will never be as drunk as me.

Just make sure you don't drink too much and keep his supply of beer steady.

Beer? Pfft, I'm a spirits man.

I never heard anything from Fall Out Boy. But it's some shit like "screamo metal" right? It's bad, but not as bad as Manowar.

Hm, now that you mention it, it has been a long time since I had a "funny feeling" in my stomach after drinking too much. But my headaches seem to get worse. It's a bad deal, if you ask me...
so lately I've been very careful not to drink too much.

The first time I heard from them was when you mentioned them. So, no.

But you DID listen to them.

Actually, a GPS signal is better, the farther away you are from civilisation. After all, this thing works with satellites, not with radio masts like mobile phones.

Spirits are the harder drinks, such as Whiskey, Vodka, Gin and Rum. Not to be confused with the fortified wines, Brandy and Port. I'm a Southern Comfort man, mainly, but I can turn to other flavours, including a fine single malt (scotch whiskey).

Next milestone passed 16000 blams. while Blams are harder to come by then they were back in the day it still is not really a big deal >_<

I should've come up with something more clever to still let you take that bet.

Shame you've missed it. It was an interesting tour, the stage design was pretty cool as you probably already know. Oh well... you can always get the live Blu-ray at the Rosebowl. At least you'll experience it a little bit, if you have some decent speakers that is.

I saw the concert they performed live on YouTube, which was quite good. Not the same as being there, but got to experience the set list and all and see some of the visuals, so it was nice.

I think that was their Rosebowl show. It didn't have the best performances of this tour in my opinion, but yeah at least you've got the idea.

Good luck with that.

Bigger eh? Ours is not that big, but big enough for the two of us. We got a 17m2 living room, 11m2 bed room, 9m2 study room, 7m2 kitchen and a hall, shower and toilet. In total I think it's about 50m2.

It's not too bad considering most students I know live in a 12m2 room, share the rest of the house with like five other students and pay just as much as the two of us do together.

Yeah, popular LPs can be expensive nowadays. 70 euros is still not bad indeed, but you would have to have an LP player which are also not so easy to get.

As a doctor? Nice!

Yeah, still assistant doctor but at least she gets payed quite good for it (even though the payment could be a bit higher, lol).

Oh okay, so actually she's still studying but is almost finished? I think the medicin studies here takes six years out of which one or two is being an assistant doctor.

And yeah, I think medicin is one of the few studies that pretty much guarantees a great salary after some years. Especially if you choose to be a dentist.

Yeah. I'm sure the universities in Amsterdam and Rotterdam have many students as well, but Delft is not even that much of a city.

But it has a "leaning tower" as well.

Leaning tower? I don't know about that, but I know one of the churches' towers was in flames some time ago.

So Hamburg has two universities?

Three. :P
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education_i n_Hamburg#Universities

Three? I see one is pretty new, founded in 2006...

So Hamburg is also one of those student cities then? Or is it so big that even with three universities you still don't see an awful lot of students out on the street?

I guess in Germany it might also be known as 'Den Haag'.

Yes. Even though most people don't pronpunce it the right way.

If it was written as Den Haach then it might have been easier for you guys to figure out how to pronounce it.

It's not only the train. It's about 30 minutes bus, 15 minutes subway, 15 minutes train and 30 minutes walking and waiting in between.

Yeah, this is quite annoying.

The worst thing is that if you miss one of them by just a few seconds, you'll be 15 minutes late at the very least.

I only have to change once from the bus to the train. Most of the time I don't have to wait that long. But there's a train every ten minutes anyway.

That's much better. In that case you'll never be much too late if you miss anything.

Agreed on that last bit. While I think the fourth gen games were pretty good (Platinum is at least), the pokemon set was pretty crap for the most part.

The designers were so lazy for the fourth generation. I'm just glad the fifth generation has no pre-evolved forms of older Pokemon. Besides the odd move, they're all fucking pointless.

I think most of the evolutions of older Pokemon in the fourth gen were pretty pointless. While some could have done with a stats boost, for most it just meant a shift in stats. As in 'instead of high attack he now has high defense'.

And yes, it would've been better if they left Pokemon like Munchlax out. Evolving them is just busy work.

I heard the new gen had some new battling systems going with 3 vs 3 battles or something, and it's all a lot more dynamic.

Yep, it has 3v3.

Yeah, I wonder how that will work out.

Yeah Spoony keeps mentioning her, but I still don't know who she is. All I know is that he often goes to the movies with her. I'm not assuming girlfriend, but it does sound like Spooney has a thing for her.
