Sounds like good fun! Thanks for the lowdown. If I ever find myself in front of a snooker table, I'll have an inkling of to what to do. :P

Yeah, I was going to say...ask a mod to ban you. :P Or you could impose a ban on yourself... Want to know what I do if I need to stop certain website addictions? I bury the bookmark link deep in sub-sub-sub folders! (whereas they are usually within easy reach on my internet toolbar). It works as a deterrent, I promise! Ha, CPing rehab! :laugh4:

Congrats on the level up!! I can empathize too. I used to do the same sort of thing as well back in the day when I took piano lessons. Completely shot my nerves every time! I distinctly remember the overbearing judges, the tiny room and the uncontroable shake in my right leg (yes, my pedal leg :(). My least favorite part of the exam was at the end when the judge gave me a piece (I'd never seen before) to sightread. Ohgod. Hated that. Edit: And happy birthday, a day early. :nice:

:kiss: It's really the people that keep me coming back here as well. Met some really wonderful people who I think I'd genuinely get along great with in 'real life.' Also the number of active users on a board makes a difference to me. It's like big cities vs. small cozy towns...not to say that this board is small, but it's not so vast and unwelcoming to the point where people are unable to form friendships. I find that in some of those huge forums with a bajillion active users, people get cliquey and become quite nasty to one another....like in high school. :P I call CPing my 'home on the internet'....is that crazy, or what?

Humm, ironically I can play a fairly decent game of pool after a few drinks. Lucky for me then that pool is most often played in locations where there are copious amounts of alcohol! :laugh4: Kathy, you'd laugh at my dart abilities. :P And snooker...that's like pool, yeah? Not sure if I know the difference.

^ 960 to be precise! :D Some are spammers, but the majority are genuine, I believe.

HAP-BEE BIRTHDAY, IAN! ;) :thumbsup::juggle::daisy::dance::crown: Some healthier alternatives.... Enjoy!

^ Ok, g'night then! :nice:

Great! Well, you know where to find me (msn msger)... ;)

Is there a place where we can see the winning art from that contest-oh-so-long-ago? What a good idea, btw. I think we should make it an annual thing!

Oh really?? Where are you going exactly? I can give you tips if you need any...been there many times (to visit family).

The holidays seem to start far earlier each year - certainly before December. I started hearing Christmas music in some stores in late October. :stunned: But I do love the holidays. :nice: Especially once our tree is set up and the house smells of pine. I tried to avoid the mad shopping as much as possible by making home made gifts.

If any of you guys can find me on Facebook, I'll add you. :)

I think I've just found my new favorite thread. :wacky:

...questions.

Don't be jealous. ;)

Aw, come on! Where's your inner child, Mark? True, I don't play with my legos anymore, but if I had the time and a willing playmate...you bettcha I would. :)

I S F F New Mew blog, from "Mac" (aka Bo, I'm fairly certain :P) How they tease us so! They have new material, but we must be patient little frengers and wait and wait... Btw, I second Einar's recommendation - Efterklang are awesome!

Ah, I loved it! My brother and I could amuse ourselves for hours with lego. While we did get creative and make up our own stuff, my favorite was the castle set. My awesome castle (still proudly displayed above our TV unit!): I was always "the bad guy" :laugh4:

/throws etiquette out the window and gorges herself on Rolle's cake :) Delish. I think I'll pass on the candy lips. :sick: Creepy.

I'll contribute some munchies for the lounge. A spot of tea, anyone? Help yourselves! :nice:

Will, congrats on another 365 day trip around the sun!! Hope you have a wonderful birthday! xx Nadia

That's wonderful - congrats on the record deal! And thanks for the update...always nice to know what our HWSTW stars are up to. ;) It never really occurred to me before to start up a Coldplaying Charity Club facebook group. I suppose any way to get the word out is worth a shot! Good luck with your album.

Deeelicious! Especially when loaded with lots and lots of freshly grounded black pepper (clears the sinuses :P)
