He needed more perversion. Maybe in his later years.

Ah, so you're saying that his life was quite vanilla, until he found the wonders of watching younger boys?

You thought I was done but more Motorhead loudness had to be stated. Say, I wonder if the umlauts with ÃfffÃf'Ã'¶ work now.

Answers on a postcard, kids.

Wow, that's even worse than how much they fucked up the sterling pound sign. That's why I had to edit my sig. I used an umlaut for the word mod. It looked really metal but redesign made it shit.

Get someone to make a sig with it in.

Recieved my order from Amazon today. Got "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" and "Heaven And Hell", which concludes my Sabbath collection for the time being. I think the next band I should get more albums from is Bolt Thrower.

And there was a time when we had hentai ads. And besides, you have a wife. :P

Yes, the hentai ads.. those where the days! Also, I may be married, but I'm not blind. :P

And I'm single still... Yeah, life has to be pretty sucky for me at times.

Don't worry. I got my first girlfriend when I was 22, just when I thought that for me all hope was lost. Now I'm married and we are thinking about having children. Life does that to you sometimes.

Good for you but it's easy for me to screw up. Well, that's unless I happen to be going to the last stop.

When I get home late at night (and a little drunk) I don't dare sleeping on the train. But when going to work or to the Uni, I can't help it most of the time, heh.
But yeah, it depends on how much time you lose when you wake up too late. Would be very shitty if the next stop is 20 minutes away.

One Christmas my dad fell asleep on the bus and by the time he woke up he was back at the Birkenhead station and asked the driver if the bus even started. It went a complete lap and he was asleep all that time.

What's even more shitty: Falling asleep and then waking up when the train is on the siding. I have a friend who told me that it happened to him once.

Or a different story: Someone - who lives in a hard to reach suburb - got on a train and then changed over to a bus. The bus ride took about an hour and he fell asleep. When he woke up at the last bus stop his first thought was: "All right, I finally made it to the central station!" then he realized that the central station is the exact same station where he catched the train earlier on.

Ranked as: Commander.

Again: Don't sleep on trains unless it's going to a straight destination. Dosing off while riding a train to London is fine with me.

Yeah, that's kind of like me today, except I've been playing Assassin's Creed Brotherhood.

I'm now in the top 4,000 for experience.

Also, I got 10,000 medal points for this week's update, over my total from the previous update. I'm not sure, but I think it's the first time that's ever been done.

Regarding the "I'm single" discussion, I broke up with my girlfriend (still best friends) about a year ago, and am still single since then, having turned 32 last Saturday (real life level-up!). The boat is large, and 22 is a pretty good age to be in it.

If you always have to get off at the same stations for a few years, you kind of condition yourself during that time. So dozing off is a good way to pass some time, once you are conditioned enough, heh.

Let's just say that's where I've been all this time. Almost had one in 2009 but I just knew it would go all wrong before it even started. I'm to the point that if God is indeed out there, I feel he is doing this just to taunt me.

And even then I get some hunches of something happening. 2009 is a great example with the one where we never got off. I recalled her asking me if I had any love interest in her and that was a month or two after originally meeting her.

Well, on the train to London from Kidderminster, I managed to get about an hour's sleep, but the rest was spent in Mongolia, with the Ghengis Khan trilogy. A much more productive use of my time, I felt :P

I don't know, I hardly ever ride a coach. They are just not that common here. Must have something to do with the German Federal Railways having some sort of exclusive right to connect cities with each other for public transport. But what I heard last year is, that some companies complained about this "exclusive right". So maybe we too will have coaches connecting larger cities with each other in the near future.

Too bad. I declared my feelings to a girl once, but she already was in a relationship. Then she and her bf broke up, so of course I was hopeful, but they got back together. Took me over a year to get over this. :(

Import them from Thailand - the games themselves are in Thai, but they come with instructions to translate them. The games are half the price and on eBay, you can buy them with little-to-no postage costs.
