    England may be infamous for bad weather, but it's not always doom and gloom, we get some fantastic sunsets where we live, and also down in Portsmouth at uni. Summers are great!


    I'm actually glad it's not that warm. America was too hot!

    I'm just telling it as it is (at least where I'm located). I'm a big sunshine lover and frankly, I don't see a great deal of it.

    Yeah, fantastic sun in England is characterized when sun shows more than 3 days out of 365 each year. That's a toughy to beat wink biggrin
    Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders.

    Hmm, well don't let that one experience be representative of Britain in its entirety. There's a lot of stunning places here (Vaughan Williams would agree were he still alive), and the sun shines a lot more than you would think. wink

    I can't bloody sleep, so I've come back on here. Few things are as depressing as insomnia taking hold when you've got to be up early the next day. Each passing minute underlines your failure and suddenly you're the world's biggest loser. I was going to consider watching TV (sadly, only terrestrial in my bedroom) but suddenly realised I'd only be gazing at an ocean of shit. At this time of night the BBC has usually switched over to News 24 which is absolute insomniac hell, the same scary stories being told over and over again. Channel 4 generally torments you with a subtitled film which, of course, puts too much strain on the eyes. Five is normally full of ponderous American sport, and as for ITV - well ITV is just hopeless.

    If I'm still awake by 4am, I expect a gnawing psychosis to set in and my eyes will likely begin darting around the room in search of something sharp to kill myself with. Either that or I'll have thrown to the mercies of ITV Nightscreen. Which results in the same thing.

    Goodnight. spin

    Our city has has an amount of rainfall yesterday that broke the record of TEN years slant And since we have one of the worst municipalties on Earth, the streets are all flooded so much that it looks like if the rain continues today, I may have to hire a boat to visit my neighbour tongue

    Absolutely!

    The diversity of the countryside here is amazing with some of the worlds most dramatic coastlines and unspoilt beaches better than anything you'll find in Spain.

  2. A bunch of internet thieves took some money from my VISA card, luckily I cought it in time so it's not too much, thank god for real time PC banking, so I got my card blocked only a week after the incident.

    I admit it was in part my fault, I was too gullible in believing that website would only charge one time. But they charged some more money 3 days later. But I've done it in the past, I mean pay to download something like on rapidshare to get it ultrafast and without waiting. This is the first time in 10 years of internet transactions I've become a victim of cyber-criminality.

    This annoys me currently but it's hardly the end of the world so ... cool

    Mate, sorry to hear that but i am glad they didn't take more!

    Could you possibly mention the site where this happened? Or in private message if you don't want it to appear in public, please? wave

    I would actually greatly prefer to have that out in the open.
    As Gilles' post reads now, I seem to understand that Rapidshare is charging more money than they should.

    I -and I know for a fact some more people around these here parts- have a paid Rapidshare account, so any odd or negative experiences would be greatly appreciated.

    MY LEFT FOOT! crazy slant

    No, nothing to do with Daniel Day Lewis or Elmer Bernstein's score. A few day ago I dropped a pile of weight lifting equipment onto my foot and now it's swollen and heavily bruised and hurts like f***ery everytime I bear any weight on it, the result being I can't leave the house or get any footwear on sad

    Yes, I had it X-rayed and it's not broken but boy does it hurt.

    Thanks pal beer

    I'll take this opportunity to apologise to anyone who may have thought I've been cranky over the last few days. Being in pain can make you very irritable ( which is why I'm all by myself today...Mel had enough slant ).

    If no one noticed then please carry on as normal....as if there's any such thing on this board? dizzy

    I have to say the mention of "normal" did make me smile! smile
    I noticed no irritability, but then I've been pretty absent, so I can't really comment.

    Do take care, mate.
    Loads of aspirins I guess?
    I gather spirits won't do it, making the pain probably just more throbbing. Nasty business, bruises like that. sad
