A Thread in Which Banter Most Random is Expulsed Into Existence, By Ravens_cry #142

[Ravens_cry]

Random Banter

Rules

1. Spam. For the purposes of RB, one word posts are generally considered spam. Likewise, posts that are nothing but *actions like this* are also be considered spam. Remember that the quality of the post's content is much better than the speed of your response.

2. This isn't the Play by Post or Town forum, nor is it the Silly Message Board Games or Structured Games forum. Please avoid continuous roleplay or mock battles and fights such as the "competition for control of the universe".

3. If it's already a thread, don't bring it to RB. RB has such a huge range of subject matter even restricted to the little snippets that probably don't warrant their own thread, it doesn't need legitimate thread topics cluttering it up as well. The exception to this is to bring something that is off-topic from one thread, but on-topic for RB and the subject doesn't warrant a thread of its own.

4. Don't advertise other threads in RB. Just because these new threads move at speeds more appropriate to a message board than an IM session doesn't mean you need to come over to RB and brow beat people into posting in your latest brainchild.

5. Please don't post single line posts alerting us to your current status -- as in "I'm back." This is Random Banter, not "How to stalk Random GitP forum members."

6. Don't poke, kick or bump the thread. It will move at whatever pace it wants to. Also, please refrain from Captain Obvious comments akin to "My, the thread is fast today."

7. Random Banter can only be as good, or as entertaining, as you make it. Demands to be entertained will fall on deaf ears unless you can add something more meaningful to the conversation.

8. As this is a public forum, where the current topic is nicely recorded for you, and not a conversation where you could have missed the beginning, please refrain from asking something to the effect of "What's the topic?". Please take the time to read up a bit first.

9. Thread Creator must include the words "Random" and "Banter" as well as the thread #. Try to be concise as well.

10. Every post should contain two visible, legible complete sentences, Subject and Predicate. C'mon, make your old English teachers proud.

11. Remember, Random Banter is not your IM client. If you want to have a back and forth discussion with just one person, look in their contact information for IM details.

12. Whenever a new thread is created, all "first post", "first page", and all posts of that nature will be deleted by the administrators. Please avoid doing this, as it is frustrating for them to deal with one-lined posts like this.

13. Double-posting is not your friend. We have edit buttons for a reason.

14. Once you have made a Random Banter thread, you must wait 50 threads before making another one.

Book of Playground
Chapter 142

On the first page, Ravens Cry said, LET THERE BE BANTER, and there was Banter.
And Ravens Cry saw the Banter, and it was Random.
The first page.

[KuReshtin]

I like the new thread title.

[Ravens_cry]

I like the new thread title.
:smallredface:Most welcome you are.

[KuReshtin]

May the randomness of the banter be truly epic in this thread that is new and.. ehh.. random.

[Kobold-Bard]

I have just seen an old man steal a baby.

It was slightly unnerving until I realised he was her dad.

[Ravens_cry]

I have just seen an old man steal a baby.

Technically, that can happen.

[Fifty-Eyed Fred]

You spelt 'existence' incorrectly, I'm afraid. Better luck next time, old chap.

[banjo1985]

You spelt 'existence' incorrectly, I'm afraid. Better luck next time, old chap.

Perhaps the randomness of the aforementioned banter leaked into the spelling? Such things have been known to happen, I has seen them with my eyeses. :smallbiggrin:

[Ravens_cry]

You spelt 'existence' incorrectly, I'm afraid. Better luck next time, old chap.
Expulsed isn't even a word according to my spell checker, so I think that's the least of the thread titles problems. It's fixed now, anywho.

[Jokasti]

Curious. 142 is the number of the All-Seeing Codex in Elagune's comic Bibliography.

[Fifty-Eyed Fred]

Expulsed isn't even a word according to my spell checker, so I think that's the least of the thread titles problems. It's fixed now, anywho.

Well yes, I suppose 'expelled' would be the right word. I suggest leaving it all the same; its oddities reflect the nature of the thread rather well...

[Jokasti]

Expusled makes me think of pus.

[Kobold-Bard]

Expusled makes me think of pus.

Makes me think of both church and Final Fantasy.

[KuReshtin]

Expusled makes me think of pus.

It made me think of something that's stopped pulsing..
Ex-pulsed.. No longer pulsing. Has no pulse. Dead.
Even if this thread is newly born and very much alive.

I agree with Freddy 5-0, though, that the correct word would be 'expelled', but I like it the way it is now.

[Trobby]

Curious. 142 is the number of the All-Seeing Codex in Elagune's comic Bibliography.

COINCIDENCE?! ...Yeah, probably.

Ahh...a fresh new Random Banter thread. Feels so good. :smallbiggrin:

[CurlyKitGirl]

Is Jibbers here? No? In that case


*BOOGIES*

This thread has been blessed.

As of yesterday I have only one exam left. I am happy. And we're going to a Japanese restaurant this evening. The weather is nice, I had an 'easy' exam yesterday, another 'easy' exam tomorrow, my friends and I get to go out tonight, I'm going home on Saturday (presumably) and it's the summer holidays.

Today is good. Life is, in fact, good.
ALl I got to do is pack . . . and have a six page holiday reading list.
Life is good.

DID YOU KNOW
Chocolate milk has a lifetime measured in minutes!
If you don't drink it by the exact date and time marked "Use By" on the packet, you will die.

THIS IS FACT

[KuReshtin]

I have a day and a half left covering this cursed account at work that I haven't got enough training to cover on my own, and no one to ask about stuff since the guy that usually covers it is in South Africa.

However, he's back on Monday and I'll happily hand things over to him again.
After that, I've only got Tuesday left at work before I go on my week and a half vacation to Sweden.
I've started the countdown.

Edit:

I can vouch for this. I disregarded a similar warning and died a terrible lingering death that ended with my bones liquefying, my eyeballs melting in their sockets and running down my cheeks, and my stomach falling out of my anus.

I got better.

Koorli: packing to go home? :smallbiggrin:

KuReshtin: in South Africa for the World Cup? If so, JEALOUSY.

Dogmantra: today I poured milk on my little brother's breakfast cereal and he announced to me that it tasted funny. It did. We were using a newly opened carton a milk whose "sell-by" date was today, and usually it's good at least a week after the sell-by . . . but then, it was 2% milk, not whole. Yuck. So we opened the whole milk (which also had a sell-by of today) and it was delicious. :smallbiggrin:

[Dogmantra]

I was lucky. I finished a bottle three minutes before it expired. One time I saw someone eat a slice of toast from a loaf of bread a whole hour out of date. There was so much blood.

[Atreyu the Masked LLama]

I just came to Boogie with CurlyKitGirl and to bask in that new thread smell.


Oooooh, the RB thread I made is still around. That was a fun time, very controversial, due to the controversy of me not posting enough to have my own thread, but it was still a great honor. I'm doing the old man rambling thing now. Was 2007 so long ago?

[KuReshtin]

KuReshtin: in South Africa for the World Cup? If so, JEALOUSY.


Yep, he's there for the World Cup.
That's nothing, though. One of my colleagues from the American Football Referees Association had to put himself as unavailable for games for about a whole month because he was first going to Paris for the French Open tennis tournament, and then he headed to South Africa for the World Cup as well. He won't be back until after 4th July.

[Dragonrider]

Atreyu: I guess it was . . . mine was in '07 as well, but months later. Actually, with this thread I would theoretically be allowed to make a new one (50 later, y'all!) but I don't post enough anymore either.

KuReshtin: Daaaaaang. I'm American so I'm not supposed to like the sport (ha, ha) but seriously . . . I love it. It's my dad's fault. He was going on gleefully last night about how he's gotten me into it after all these years. Yet another father-daughter bonding activity, I guess. As if we're not bonded enough already . . . my parents and I are ridiculously close.

My hair is now the shortest it has been in years. Still not short by most people's standards, but it's weird...

My hair is now the shortest it has been in years. Still not short by most people's standards, but it's weird...

Are you doing okay? I once got my hair cut from being waist-length to being signifcantly less than shoulder-length and that really messed me up, way more than it should have done.

[Quincunx]

My poor, soft representative-democracy mind has been thrown for a loop. "On Saturday you may bear witness to something rare," said my husband over IRC, and I thought "?", "two grown men watching a wedding ;P" Another "?". People are coming around to our apartment to watch the Swedish royal wedding. And again I posit, ?????. Can't even distill my bafflement into a 'what' or 'why' or other interrogative. These are not tabloid readers.

[KuReshtin]

It's a momentous event in Sweden. We've not had a royal wedding since the king himself got married in the 70s, and now it's the crown princess that's getting married, so it's a pretty big deal.

[Fifty-Eyed Fred]

Hmm...

KuReshtin, since you're familiar with Sweden and the UK, how does the Swedish Royal Family measure up against the British one? I am curious.

Well, it was no party, but I have done nude modelling and that ended with me being paid 60 dollars, so that 'ended well' for a certain value of well.

[Scorpina]

I think it depends on what you mean by naked partying. I mean, if I got invited (especially over Facebook *shudder*) to a 'Naked Party', I'd probably not go. However, sometimes at parties I have attended (during my normal university experience, mostly) I or someone else has become naked, and usually, this has not been a (serious) problem.

[Recaiden]

Kay, so that's done. And now, because I found it to be humorous, I revive the topic from the last RB: Naked parties can NEVER END WELL. Y/N?

No. Naked parties can totally end well. It just depends on the type of naked party and who all has been invited.

[Phase]

Naked parties never work out when I attend. The running and screaming tend to get in the way. Plus there's that whole "Moon" thing.

[Dogmantra]

Why is this even a question? It lets you ogle your friends without feeling guilty. OF COURSE a naked party is a good idea.

[Kobold-Bard]

Correction: I have one friend with whom I am smitten and I can cope with seeing everyone else naked. :smallamused:

[arguskos]

I have approx. 3 friends. One would never go to such parties. The other two are dating, and probably wouldn't go anyways. My likelihood of attending such a shindig in the future is nigh-zero. Still, the past ones were pretty fun times, as the past always is.

Random philosophical moment: anyone else annoyed that the past is always brighter than the future? Or perhaps it's just me. :smallsigh:

I'm picking this response out of the glut of others just because this one calls to me.

See, this I can agree with. I have been to parties in which people have BECOME naked, but a party who's primary premise is about everyone being naked...I just don't think it can end well. I mean, yes, you can ogle that one friend of yours with whom you're smitten, but after a while, they're gonna notice, and unless they like you too, then there may be some issues.

[Dogmantra]

HAHA YES

You fell into my trap! I love that word and I made someone else say it! WHOOO (NAKED) PARTY!

[Deth Muncher]

But what about parties, who have normal premises, where everyone happens to be naked? It seems like it would work fine, if nakedness doesn't freak out the partygoers.

[KuReshtin]

Hmm...

KuReshtin, since you're familiar with Sweden and the UK, how does the Swedish Royal Family measure up against the British one? I am curious.

The Swedish Royal family seems to be more generally accepted than the UK one. At least the opposition to the monarchy is more vocal in the UK than it is in Sweden.

Also, the Swedish royal family is a lot younger and prettier (see spoiler below) than the UK royal family, and they tend to have less newsworthy incidents happen to them. Or at least that's how it feels.

If me & my friends had a naked party, I suspect most of the guys and some of the girls would be self-conscious, and there would be mass ogling in all directions.

Nostalgia has that effect.
Thankfully (or maybe unfortunately, depending on your perspective), most of my memories up to this point in my life were from a time where I was incredibly unhappy and I just generally didn't like my life. So, I can look back to the last year or so of my life and remember some happy-ish times, look back at the 4-5 I recall clearly before that of emo-ness (I got better), or just say "bugger that" and try making my future more fun.

There is clearly only one scientific way to solve this.

We must have a GITP Naked Party Week! Note: This would probably violate the forum rules. No. Don't actually do it.
Though I am curious about the parameters of this so-called naked party. Is it 100% nakedness? Is underwear optional? Is it, in fact, mandatory that everyone wear some underwear?

Also, because I refuse to be left out...

I think that'd be an underwear party. Naked means naked.

[Coidzor]

Hmm... Would a censor bar or a pair of undies be better as a mask for such an avatar?

Curse your Introbulosity!

I'm pretty sure we had a nude avatar week at one point. Lots of strategically placed squares.

[Scorpina]

[Coidzor]

I'm pretty sure we had a nude avatar week at one point. Lots of strategically placed squares.

Yeah, I think that was before I had any kind of concept of avatars though, so I basically hid out that week.

[Ravens_cry]

My avatar is ALWAYS naked, except her hat, except for special avatar weeks.

[Kobold-Bard]

My avatar is ALWAYS naked.

Hat = Not naked.

[Scorpina]

Hat = Not naked.

Sir Tom Jones begs to differ.

[Ravens_cry]

Hat = Not naked.
That's more an appendage.

[arguskos]

Like half of mine are too, since well, alcoholic robotic starfish don't wear clothes, gigantic flying dissection-happy organ harvesting bugs don't wear clothes, shapeshifting living constructs don't wear clothes, the newest avatar I've commissioned won't wear clothes either, and if Graz'zt/Iggwilv had their way, they wouldn't wear clothes either. :smallcool:

Blue Ghost: Maybe your nude avatar could be hiding behind a rock or a tree, to keep people from knowing what you really look like? And maybe just a head and a foot sticking out? And the robe would be conveniently lying on the ground or on a branch, to let people know what's going on.

The damn things seem to be able to crawl halfway into my windows and sit there forever, until I open it and >9000 of them explode into my face.

:smallannoyed:

[Scorpina]

It could (maybe) be worse. One time, I was sitting in my bed with my laptop, next to an open window, when - attracted by the light of the monitor - the biggest damn moth I have ever seen flew in and started fluttering about, boucning between my face and the screen, leaving moth dust. I've never felt so girly as when I screamed the house down in response!

I took the manly approach and swatted at it before wondering what it was.

I once got chased by a giant horse-fly. Normal horse-flies are just mortally annoying, but this one was terrifying. I ran for my life.

Now, that was like 10 years ago, and I'm a thousand times more calmer now. I'd probably catch it, study it and decapitate* it if it was today.

Man, now I really, really want a doughnut. Right now.

But I have no access to doughnuts! Mreh!

Mmmmm.. Doughnuts..
Maybe my colleague has a few left since it's his last day and all...

Pareidolia says that kind reminds me of North America.

[Trobby]

That's what I thought too. With what could be either the Carribeans or the top of South America way in the bottom right corner.

Honestly, I have no idea what it is. I just put "Random Image" into google image search, rolled 1d100, and posted the resulting image *number 12*.

[UglyPanda]

It's almost like a Rorschach* test, you see what's in your head. I kinda think it looks like China and Japan.

[Worira]

Coincidentally, that happens to be the logo for my band, the Day-Glo Pterodactyls.

[Quincunx]

It's an illogical image in my eyes. There should be at most one extension at the top, not three. Color and shape imply one of the fuzzballs my lovely new duvet is dropping on the carpet as the seams fray.

The donut reminds me to go to the hot-dogs-'n'-donuts shop recently opened downtown. They can't glaze to save their lives, but the guys running it will make sugar donuts fresh when you order and know how to pile toppings on a hot dog, even sauerkraut and American mustard*. It's a taste of home. Hmm. Wonder if I could convince them how to construct a proper glazed donut. . .

*American mustard = mild sauce with flavor of mustard seed.
English mustard = culinary pain, like a chili too hot for your tolerance.

Arrrrrrrgh, I'm home now. A day early. Packed in less than two hours last night. And am sooooooooooo tired.
Way too much traffic, took far longer to get down home than normal.

And I fell asleep a couple of times, but I'm still tired, and a little hungry, and I'm actually really annoyed about this sport thingy.
Apparently, there's this thing called a football World Cup going on, and it was England v. Algeria today.
Dad were listening to it on the way home, what's the point?
It angered me.

In lighter news: I have finished one third of my degree. No more exams until October.
Woo.
And I missed my trashing and the Warden's Garden Party.

[Pheehelm]

Seriously, using water to get rid of fire just leaves all that fuel and oxygen behind, which has already been established as a fire hazard. Best thing to do is use up all the fuel and oxygen.

sunflower, olive or rape-seed oil

You call it 'canola'.
Unless you just object to the use of vegetable oils in baked goods very strongly, which would confuse me.

Random note: I've been watching Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. It's finally separated itself from the original anime and gotten into what I presume is the manga's true plotline and...holy balls. Every episode now, something happens and I'm like "lolwut the eff."

Eminem and Alicia Keys should fight crime.

[Teddy]

Oh, I thought he misspelled grape.
I am the only one that can see through the veil...

It's called "raps" in Swedish, and it doesn't come close to the other translation of "rape". The only reason that I included "-seed" was because of the stupid name, so that it would be a bit more obvious that I didn't misspell it.

ION: I took a shower for the first time after my accident this morning (if you don't count the hair-cleaning earlier this week). I feel so refreshed, but apparently, clotted pus isn't as water-resistant as clotted blood, so I had to walk around half the morning with my elbow clear of everything before it finally dried up and clotted again.

ANd now for something completely different:
A post without pictures or links. Just words, hopefully strung together into a semi-coherent sentence or phrase.

Weather's been crazily gorgeous since lunchtime, makes me crave an ice lolly.

And since when did Cameron go blonde? Eh. Watching stuff that I don't get to see much, or hardly ever, is okay.

Insanely blue sky, makes me think that summer's going to be super-awesome, that is, if I can even find a job.
So blue, so delicious, it's actually cyan, I mean so blue that it's almmost white around the edges, purely cloudless and, welp, heavenly.
I hope the summer lasts more than a few days this time.

[SpiderMew]

Ice lolly? Is that a forzen preteen girl in a skimpy outfit?:smallconfused:

[Sneak]

That would be an ice loli. Ice lolly's just a popsicle. :smalltongue:

Anyway, I'm deciding whether or not to splurge and buy several albums that I want (Starling, Spiders, Tiger and Sprites and Modern Gameplay by Sprites, The Lonesome Death of Buck McCoy by The Minus Five, The Beta Band's three EPs, ABC Music by Stereolab, Can Cladders by The High Llamas).

OK, so yeah, it's mostly because I couldn't find them online anywhere. I'll keep looking, but it I can't find them, I might have to choose some and let go of the others. :smalleek:

And since when did Cameron go blonde?

You see, there also used to be an actual Boris Johnson, a boy slightly sillier than most, but with coherence. Unfortunately, during his time in the boarding halls of future power, some foolish lad picked up a suspiciously blonde-hued rock which had fallen from the stars, and carried it inside. . .now there is only the shell of a man, and the being from the stars seeks a new host and, this time, rather more brains to devour. . .

I've been meaning to start reading Schlock for forever now, but I'm so intimidated by the massive archives that I can't bring myself to start (and starting at any point other than the beginning would be cheating).

Of course, waiting longer and longer probably isn't a good idea if the size of the archives are what's scaring me. :smalltongue:

But both my brother and my friend have been bugging me for a while, so I might get around to it in the vast quantities I free time I have to myself this summer, perfect for archive binging.

I kind of doubt they carry the stuff, because I am a pretentious indie hipster douche and listen to pretentious indie hipster douche music, but it'll give me something to do anyway.

I thought it was pretty decent, if a bit weird at times. I'd say it's worth watching.

It has been super hot here, as Summer usually is, but the reward is beautiful, though warm, days like today. The sky is a remarkable blue without a cloud in the sky. :smallsmile:

Yes. Very yes.

[Kobold-Bard]

Then so I shall watch it. And a pox on you both if it turns out to be rubbish!!

[Thufir]

It's decent, as long as you accept from the get-go that it has nothing whatsoever to do with the comics it's supposed to be based on and really they should have just called it something else.

[Ravens_cry]

Complete coincidence. Sadly, I have only played the first and fourth Monkey Island games.
Be sure to play the other two, if you get a chance. They are delightfully silly, the music superlative, and the art is beautiful, even on MI2:LeChucks Revenge.

Well, as I now live away from home for about six months of the year I don't get a proper bedroom.
There's also the Bedroom Rotation System at work.
The KoorlyParents get the master bedroom. Always.
For the other three it's been a switch of:
Boys get the Attic Room, Koorly gets the Little Room, Little Sister get the Big Room.
Boys get the Attic Room, Koorly gets the Big Room, Little Sister gets the Little Room.
Girls get the Attic Room, Elder Younger Brother gets the Little Room, Littlest Brother gets the Big Room.
Girls get the Attic Room, Littlest Brother gets the Big Room, Elder Younger Brother gets the Big Room.

So now it's Youngest Brother gets the Attic Room, Little Brother gets the Big Room, Little Sister gets the Little Room. And Koorly gets a fold-out bed in the living room.


We have had rather summery weather of late. To the point that my American friend hasn't been complaining that it's too cold.

We've been in our current house for ten years, actually eleven now that I think about it.
Wow, long time.
And so it's a switch every two years on average, the most recent one was last October because, you know, university.

[Dogmantra]

Once every two years, that's okay. I was worried because the way I read your post it made it sound like it was every couple of months or so and I wondered who thought it up and why everyone else put up with it. And for some reason I am pleased that I "beat" you in the field of extended house-occupancy with fourteen years, though I'm sure someone will come along and make me feel inferior with a story of how they built their house from sticks and mud when they were an embryo and have lived in it for over a hundred years. I mean, it is GitP.

Well, they're not originally Phase's. He needs to specify where they came from.

Maybe they are part of their collection?
Humans collect plant genitals, after all.

So, some of my female friends who use formspring.me got a "question" saying "You are absolutely beautiful." Apparently, at least 8 girls got it. One of them noticed and pointed out that the compliment was a tad impersonal given that it was sent to a bunch of girls.
I (anonymously) told them all I agree. I feel this has put me well on my way to filling my quota of kindness for the day.

And for some reason I am pleased that I "beat" you in the field of extended house-occupancy with fourteen years, though I'm sure someone will come along and make me feel inferior with a story of how they built their house from sticks and mud when they were an embryo and have lived in it for over a hundred years. I mean, it is GitP.

Not quite that, but my family have lived in the same house for over 15 years now. I moved out after about 14.5, though I'm still there pretty regularly.

But surely that's just as impersonal?

Not that it isn't really nice of you to do that for your friends, of course.

Oh, it is. I mentioned my hypocrisy, actually. I just figure hearing it from two (anonymous but likely different; I used better grammar, a wider vocabulary and all caps) sources is more believable than just one.

Plus, I figure it'll be enough of a head-scratcher figuring out who sent the all-caps message that I'll have amusement for a while using that persona. I've already started shrouding my involvement by insulting myself.
I love using the anonymous option.

EDIT: This doesn't invalidate me for placing more emphasis on the "bastard" than the "magnificent", right? I'd like to keep my plans for universe domination untainted by something like the expectation of mercy or kindness.

My reading list for next term is going to be expensive. But moderately awesome.

Got to spend some three and a bit hours chatting with mum and Eldest Uncle of All, learnt so much. About many many things.
Oh, and my new bed was really good. I mean really good. Fantastic night's sleep once I got used to it.

The weather continues surprisingly warm and fine. Am going to be out later this evening.
Or possibly in about half an hour as Little Brother has gotten into heavy metal and thrash metal. And it's audible through walls and ceilings.

On houses: I have been in my current residence for seven and a half years (not counting the intervals of several months during which I've left). All told, I've inhabited thirteen houses, eight towns/cities, four US states, and three countries.



^: Welcome to Oregon, my dear, the weather's been ****ed since I got here. :smallamused:

Clearly you have not left the one-third of the state that actually gets rain, i.e., the West Side. You are thus discounting Central, Southern, and Eastern Oregon. I have never lived on the West Side and am thus enormously displeased when people assume that the state is green, verdant, and wet. Not the Oregon I know and love!


I like that name . . . I shall steal it and use it equally alongside Britland. It makes me happy.

It is 'England' in Spanish. :smallbiggrin: We also have Gales (Wales), Escocia (Scotland), and Irlanda (Ireland). The UK is (according to my dictionary, because I had to look it up) Reino Unido, or RU. Which makes sense, because Reino Unido means, well, United Kingdom. :smalltongue:


And so it's a switch every two years on average, the most recent one was last October because, you know, university.

We have five bedrooms in our house, and up until this year every single person in our family except me had at some point occupied every single one. Back when there were only three kids, each of us got our own, my parents had one, and we had a guest room. But now there are five of us (including cycoris) and therefore there is no guest bedroom. Riss has the purple room, whuch used to be mine (that happened while I was gone), I'm in the old guest bedroom/playroom (which is, amusingly, the largest of the rooms), oldest brother has the yellow room, two younger brothers share the blue room, and my parents have the crooked room/library (it really is crooked, one wall has a jink in it, and it's really long and thin...but there are tons of built-in shelves overflowing with books, so it's also the library).


*snipsnip who cares what he said?*

ZOMG IT'S RAWHIDE!



Also: My dad is on the couch screaming because NZ just almost scored and he REALLY wants them to beat Italy.

Two houses, one country, one county, two towns. I'm really really boring apparently. :smalltongue:

Three houses, one country, two counties, two cities and a nearby town.

@Curly: Get some powerful speakers and retaliate with something classical.

o.O
That's rather a lot.
Although Law Friend has lived (because of her dad's work) in many places, Malaysia, Nigeria, another African country whose name I've forgotten, India, Inglaterra, several other places . . .
She travelled a lot.

:smallfrown:
I thought it was new and snazzy. But I shall steal it anyway! Besides, it sounds better than Angleterre. I also like Escocia, but I prefer Cymru.

Ugh, boys. What's up with this football thing anyway? Something big going on?
Whenever this World Spoon goes on we should just beam all football supporters into space. It'd clear a lot of the air as well.

Ugh, generalisations. :smalltongue:

I think they may have been talking about Rugby.
