Yeah I know. Often it really has this basic, no-frills look. Especially the cheaper furniture they sell. It doesn't look bad though, but you do need to add some little things to make it look less bare.
We bought a sofa yesterday, for 1,800 Euro. :o
Ours was only 350. I feel poor :(
But if we had such an expensive sofa right from the start we wouldn't really appreciate it. I am of the opinion that you have to start "low", with cheap furniture that doesn't fit together too well. And then when you have the money to buy new stuff, you'll be able to appreciate it more.
Yeah I can agree with that line of thinking. Apart from the fact that we'll learn to appreciate more expensive furniture, it's also a bit risky to go and buy very expensive stuff. At the start you never know if it's gonna work out or not and if it isn't then you end up being flat out broke with furniture worth thousands of euros that you can hardly store anywhere.
But it's decent stuff really. It feels very solid and you can be sure that it will hold for at least 5-10 years.
Billy and Benno rule!
And so do Björn and Benny! Our closet is called dombås. We decided that it's pronounced "dumbass" :p
Silly Swedish names. Even for Dutch people they're unpronouncable.
Okay, maybe four weeks is still way too little to actually see much of the country.
Depends on the country, I guess.
I bet 4 weeks would be enough to travel through the netherlands from north to south and east to west. :P
More than enough. In a week or two I'm sure you can see all that might be worth seeing around here.
I've discussed a trip to America with my gf and together we want to see so much that we'd need at least half a year to see everything. The inconvenient thing is, we pretty much want to go to all sides of the country. I want to go to Alaska, Florida, the Yoshimite Park, the Nevada desert. She wants to go to New York, San Francisco... It's gonna be impossible to see all that in a four week holiday.
You just need an awesome time management and quite a few drugs to keep you awake.
"Okay, that was two minutes of Yoshimite Park, on to our next location!"
Obviously I'd like to stay for a while to enjoy the scenery :p
Naaah they're usually in their classrooms or in the teachers lounge. It were the janitors who were always patrolling in and around the school.
Teachers here have playground duty. Maybe it's because the janitors are too lazy to walk around?
I guess. That sounds like a typical janitor job to me.

I thought that was where all the 'Bedn steals teh candy!' jokes came from.
Hmm, not that I'm aware of.
I could swear some kind of NG meme sprouted from the fact that Bedn stole the programming code for the Flash portal to build Retrogade's portal.
IIRC he was only on that frozen glacier mountain and he wasn't that tough. In other games I remember him to be much harder. You could even consider him a mini-boss.
Yeah, that's where he was in FFVII. Definitely not the Malboros we know and fear.
Nah they were nothing to fear for. I believe some walkthrough explicitely warned me for them, but I think you could also get some kind of protection accesory from status effects just before you were going to battle him. Without his Bad Breath, he's a pushover.
Wow... so it must be the FF game that is available on the most amount of systems.
It is. Hell, once they've remade FFV and VI on 3DS (which will happen eventually), they'll probably put them on the new PSP as well.
And people keep complaining about how they are milking FF7 so much :p
I suppose not. I like the DS' improved graphics very much. I'm curious how it will look for the PSP then though.
It uses the traditional sprites but they're all redrawn.
But the battles were now in 3D right? That looked pretty nice to me.
I don't know where that would be. Usually I went training near the entrance if I went to the Northern Crater, but my favorite training place was that old aircraft wreck in which you could morph monsters into HP ups, Attack ups etc.
There were two mystical rooms that were full of magic pots and Movers. That gave you uber EXP, AP and money. Equip EXP Plus materia and anything else alike and you've got some serious gains from them.
Oh yeah I remember those magic pots giving massive money and AP or something. It never really came up with me that I should go and train in those rooms. I always had a hard time finding the exit in the Northern Crater. Wasn't there a point of no return somewhere and if you built your safe point there and saved you were fucked?

Is this the one you're talking about? I thought that there was much more in that scene... hmmm... can't find any other vids though.
Yeah that's the part of it, thought the whole scene is hilarious. Just thinking of how it ruined McCauley Culken makes me laugh to this day.
Yeah I thought so.
I watched a compilation of Home Alone 1 and 2 and plenty of those traps were quite hilarious now that I see them again :p

I could never get a meal like that down my throat in the early morning. Even one slice of bread is difficult for me.
I try to have at least something for breakfast whether it is just toast or a bowl of cereal.
I go for one slice of bread usually, but I found that a bowl of soy yoghurt goes down best for me. The problem is, I'll be hungry again an hour later.
Well we put salt on it as well, but I find it kinda boring without anything else on it. It just needs a sauce.
Yeah, it just seems now that ketchup is just getting sweeter and sweeter. Soon it's just going to be tomatoes and sugar.
Agreed. It's often too sweet for my liking. I prefer curry ketchup sauce on most things, it's basically a more spicy version of ketchup. Goes much better with burgers and stuff like that.
Mayonaisse doesn't have to be so fattening. We got plenty of 'ligher' versions that only contain 30% fat or so instead of 70-80%. Of course there's a slight difference in taste, but it's still great. Also, fries don't have to be so unhealthy either. Sometimes they baked them in lard here, but for restaurants and such that has been forbidden for a long time now. At home we usually bake them in sunflower oil or peanut oil, which is much better for you than lard.
Peanut oil is by far the best oil in my opinion by the way.
Yeah peanut is great for deep frying stuff since it has a high smoke point and doesn't leave a peanut taste as one might think.
Exactly. That higher temperature you can bake with just gives everything a better taste.
And, light mayonnaise is not worth eating. You can't skip out of the fat in mayo and have it taste decent. I dunno I just see mayo as a dressing rather than a dipping sauce. Now just toss some chili and cheese sauce on top, there you have my perfect addition to fries.
I think light mayonnaise is different in America than it is here :p It's quite similar to normal mayonnaise in Holland. They just used less oil I think.
Also cheese sauce? Ugh, I would never eat that with my fries.
I'm not so sure about that last statement. Maybe if she's very demanding, wants to go buy new clothes every day, wants a new car, wants stupid clothing for her stupid chiwawa etc. Perhaps hookers would be a cheaper option :p
Unless you get a VD and then it won't be so cheap. Ha!
Well yeah... then you could perhaps spend thousands of dollars to cure yourself :p
