Gas isn't cheap here,

It's all relative ;)

though I will admit it is way cheaper than the UK. I found this site and was appalled at what some countries are paying at the pump. Damn.

We're tied for 4th in the most expensive Diesel, though I did just fill up for £1.28 a litre, which helped. Discount coupons from the supermarket really do help me :)

I'm going again on the 18th. London meet IX, if I recall.

Have a good time!

I've got train and bus tickets to book, but that's doable. I can get there a fortnight tomorrow and all will be well :)

I bought some from IKEA and made the mistake of buying one wardrobe that was only one door, despite buying two doors for it...

I've never bought anything from IKEA, but I've heard some horror stories about assembly and such...

Pfft, if you've got an IQ of less than 80 it will be taxing.

I've seen these new OLED televisions that LG have just launched. Paper thin and energy efficient, the problem is the price of Ãf'Ã'£6,300

Damn, that's way too much for a TV. I remember when the flatscreens were new and super-expensive -I bought my new 37" for $300. lol I like staying one step behind the newest thing in electronics to keep price down, not to mention things change so fast anyway... :P

I got mine for free - technically it was inherited from Granddad, though he is still with us - we just had to sell the house to pay for his accommodation at the residential home.

It prevented me from swimming as a kid and as an ex-girlfriend of mine had Psoriasis, which is similar, though an auto-immune condition, or so I understand.

Having eczema has never stopped me from swimming. Infact, I used to swim all the time but it has been ages since I last went for a swim on a regular basis but I have been negotiating with a friend of mine to see if a weekly session can be done at the local swimming pools just for some exercise.

I've not swum for a few years now... in fact, since I quit the gym, while I was still with Bex. It's got be three years since I quit there...

My dad is a piece of shit fascist, that's why.

Well, I can't really argue about that, since I don't know him. ^^

And thankfully you don't. I just hope you don't have a dad that tries to tell you how you should look, act, etc. I only wonder how much I could take from him before I get to a point where a police officer/court case has to be considered.

Well, my dad comments every now and then about my hair or my clothes, but in reality, he doesn't care about my looks.

But I like EXTREME!

I would much rather have a more balanced news coverage. In 2012 there was a lynch mob, because the media declared a young man as a rapist and killer of a little girl... the police could convice those people to go home. And in the end, the young man was innocent. This is just unbelievable.

If anything, 2011's news was more over the top but then again, shit like a tsunami in Japan and a riot in England happened so....

But lynch mobs against tsunamis are highly ineffective.

We breathe fire, we fly... What do you humans do again?

There you have it. I have to save up as well.

Thankfully I don't have to worry about getting a new laptop soon. The cooling pad puts all troubles with TF2 behind me. Still, it might help to look into funding a new one and make this an ongoing thing over the next two years since I feel by 2015 the laptop will be a bit behind the times so an upgrade with a brand new laptop would help.

No new computer/laptop/computer parts for me in 2013. At least, that's what I hope.

I'm just finishing up converting the room I moved out of into a little home gym. I've been lifting for around 8 months now, just with what little equipment I had lying around the house. The squat/bench rack is the last item on the list and should be arriving any time now. The package weighs in at 160 lbs -dragging that around the house by myself should be fun...

Fair enough, that's still a lot of exercise in your life. As for me, I have considered cycling on some days but going to Liverpool isn't exactly easy to take a bike through to and it's not often that I'll be out and about where it's only within the Wirral.

As a matter of fact, some of us wanted to and one was ready to snap at him. We were all that close. All it would have took is him to have been bullshitting around for a few minutes longer. Although, if a fight did break out I'm pretty sure I'd have been in contact with the police by now.

You guys must be pretty level-headed. I've known people who get really angry at the slightest things when hammered -especially when drinking the kind of stuff you listed above. :P

I guess we were better handled at drinking than they were. Hell, we were all dancing to Gangnam Style whilst having a bottle of Jack Daniel's in the middle of the room. We didn't knock it over. :D

I almost saw them this past summer but ended up seeing System of a Down instead.

SOAD are good. But it's still a shitty trade, if you ask me. :P

Just keep on going down that road. Not long until you wake up at 4:45 AM. :P

Good for you. Too bad they only have one UK show and that's at Download. For a tour named Maiden ENGLAND, it's sure as hell false advertising.

Well, at least they don't call it "Maiden England" and then don't play any show at all. ^^

Is it even porn in that case? :P

"Soft Porn". But since porn is all about being/getting "hard", hmm....

Perhaps not even soft porn in this case. :P

It's "soft" porn. But "soft" porn just doesn't make any sense. Who on earth wants to see two people fucking, without actually seeing them fucking? It's like trying to get drunk by drinking alcohol-free beer.

You could have seen one in late 2011, though. Timing just sucked with my job at that time.

Yeah, that was a real pity.

And your chances at showing up at a meet here aren't that great either. I'm going to guess that was my only chance to even see you here for a long time.

There's a tiny chance that I might be visting London for the CL match Arsenal against Bayern. But it's only a VERY tiny chance. But I sure as hell will visit the UK in the following years.

I had a similar issue, though it was only 11am and then I did spend about an hour reading, before surfacing properly.

At least 11AM is reasonable. I'm waking up at unreasonable times but then again, when you can't even fall asleep until 7 in the fucking morning, what do you expect?

Mine was a case of not getting to bed until later than planned (2am) and then not really managing to get much in the way of sleep. Hopefully, I can rectify that now.

Fair enough, that's still a lot of exercise in your life. As for me, I have considered cycling on some days but going to Liverpool isn't exactly easy to take a bike through to and it's not often that I'll be out and about where it's only within the Wirral.

It's purely cycling for pleasure with me at the moment - I can hardly cycle to work after all, now. I've not done it for a while and I really should dig out the wheels again, to hit the road.

I could have told some interviewers that I could easily get to the work place via cycling but my problem is that by the time you get to work, you'll feel all hot and bothered already.

I tried to ease off the pedals as I got closer to work. That way the cool breeze still had that effect and I slowly lowered the body temperature, rather than stopping and becoming drenched in sweat.

Holy fuck, that's 12 minutes before I clocked out!
