Sternly

He scratches his tommy AND make as If he was tired, not that he scratches his tommy when he is tired! and he doesn't really scratch it, I don't know the word in english, but he does like circles ... like "my tommy hurts", that kinds of circles

(I love that word) What is the effect commercials and, mainly, tv have on you? I basicly ask that because I have always been very skeptical about what's being showed on tv, and a couple of months ago we decided to change satellite tv for musical instruments, so no instead of having 5 tellys with channels we have many instruments and 5 tellys that only show black and white spots. (it was way too much, so we've got one with DVD now so we can watch movies). Now I have not a totally different view, because I was never much part of the mass, but I've got even further away. All the 'lastest fashions and icons' I get to know are just thanks to the newspaper an it's funny to see the way press changes and specially propaganda changes. I 've got a couple of friends who are even more paranoid than me, and they believe the channels were trying to control us, and now that we are not the only family among my friends which are banning tv, we realised that it is true, though I'm not sure it's the channels intention; you spend so much time watching the news or sports or movies, that tv becames an important part on your life when it really is dispensable. You might say tv is not escencial for you, but try being without tv for a month; the first days will probaby be a nightmare (wasn't in my case cause we had music and I have 2 very funny brothers).

ah! dah, Mr. Peed will now dissapear from the world! I hope he looks on the bright side: there's always a next year!

talking about wooden muppets (Marrionettes)... I can't believe how someone would hate them, so I will not ask wether someone likes them but wether someone knows how to make them work? Like make them move and voices and ... to make them alive? I've got a couple and I've been abe to make him scratch his tommy and make as If he was really tired... I didn't thought they were so much fun! (I didn't oblied anyone to read this and If you are hating my threads so much, go to hell cause I'm not leaving this time and I'm ignoring any ridiculous comment - yes, I'm being a bit paranoid)

when my old radio works, through the BBC (I usually get to hear all programs, except the news) If not, I read the news at http://www.bbcnews.com and when I used to have television, I watched them at BBC World News and I get The Guardian once a week, Le Monde Diplomatiqué once a month and El Mercurio (National newspaper) every day. And on the weekends I get 2 more newspapers (when you haven't got tv and have 2 parents talking to you about politics and economics 50% of the time, you must be informed all the time :dozey: )

I sometimes feel bless for not having tv! :lol: seriously :D

can I ask what is he having? (I feel like a fish in a fishbowl right now)

I'm not aloud to eat in front on the computer :stunned:

I also used to sing and played a lot of chess and footbal and rugby and whatever my brothers played :lol:

why do you make me remind you, every like 20 posts, that I do not understand those weird english jokes! My english doesn't go behond a 5 year's old british kid! (after this, I will never be able to take the "Stupid" ghost out of me)

I share Ian' and Hayleys' feeling :dozey:

talking about Ian's signature (and after being called stupid, this shouldn't surprise you) I clicked F5 and Alt+F4, for more clever people, and nothing occured, apart from the thing going away... what was the point of that?

I've just been called stupid! :stunned: :lol:

I don't know! I wasn't even able to see it completely! :lol:

well, that was my excuse for not believing that I was the only person who had actiolly clicked there :lol:

yes, it was called "Foro Social Chileno" and it was linked with another Social Forums, and they always mentioned one in San Francisco or San Diego ( a city with "San")

Uh! You must spend a lot of time reading the Entretainment section at the BBC! :stunned:

I can't download anything, but anyway I cliked and it takes you to something called "Arizona Jeans Company" and probably most of you knew it was a joke (berry's question) but I didn't and as I know I won't be the first or last one... I'm warning you. Probably, this will work the other way, and most people will click to see If what I am telling is true. P.S: Do not tell Egghead to change his signature, that's why I clicked on the first place!

My sister will be on that list :stunned: Paris and Zurich, 8th and 10th of July, I think (If I'm lucky enough, I mgiht live to see the ticket, to see them live it's not likely)

Louis Armstrong and a weird french singer called Carla *something*

I thought you were Lotta :dozey:

We had one in November, with representatives from Brazil, among other countries

Bjork

ah that reminded me of something! I live on a hill and we have a huge backyard (the entire hill and the one next to it) and I have 2 brothers and they are about my age (1 year younger and 3 years younger) and I remember going out one night with the oldest and a couple of friends he had staying at home and we decided to play Commandos on the hill. We did 2 groups and it must have been about 4 a.m, so you really couldn't see much and since we knew most of the hill, we used entirely. And at one point I was standing up, trying to find my group (my brother and his friend) and suddenly comeone starts whispering "Carla, Carla" and I couldn't see anyone and suddenly someone grabs my leg, more or less at my foot level, and I started shouting desperately. Then I realized it was them, that were searching for me and well now I look back I just laugh and get embarrased at it, but when it happened I couldn't have been more scared. I think I had told it before though
