Yeah, none of those stupid helmets and padding.

Is that guy trying to strangle the other guy? That's what I'm talking about, nice & brutal.

Yeah, he wrapped his hands around the guy's neck......and then did a badly aimed fly kick.

Go here for a laugh: The Mighty Three.

I find it really sad, uncomfortable and slightly hilarious at times.

course' England are world champions ...

(ok, were bit dodgy just now ... but it's such a rarity.. just had to mention it.)

Rugby is much more hard-hitting and as you say honest and brutal than american football ... guys in helmets, shoulder pads, pads here armour there .... blimey!

Not in rugby mate ...

i was fly-half back at school .. took all the kicks and some of the glory!

[Pytt]

Do'h. I was going to post my number 1000 here or in the JD syndrome thing. But I didn't count how many time I posted so.. My 1003 instead. Which isn't that bad, is it? Anyway, I'm starting on a new school on monday. It's maybe a sort of college, I think. I'm looking forward to it at least. But good night. Now I can sleep well, reached the four digits line. Yey

it seems as though it no longer touches you.

Something like that, my German isn't that great. Actually, it's essentially non-existent.

Anyone making tea here? I am so pooped. I've been out of the house since 8 am, and only got back at 8pm. Then I had to finish off an essay and other stuff. Joy.

You are all hereby cordially invited to post in the ongoing game of...

DO YOU KNOW THESE MOOTERS?

Since my latest clues seems to be a bit difficult other Mooters are welcome to be both cluers and uncluers.

[Butterbeer]

fancy a beer?

btw i keep meaning to ask an Aussie (G'day by the way!)

is your beer over there piss weak? Cus' the only 'Aussie' beers exported over here, eg Fosters and Castelmaine XXXX are frankly crap. (no offence) 4% something and no taste or fullness.

Yet you guys have a reputation for drinking?

You surely must have better or stronger beer over there Lin?

(btw ain't it a crime not to follow the ashes series?

And heh the rugby world cup final - did you see that?
heh - you guys have been pomme-bashing for so long: couldn't resist mentioning that final and your really gracious Prime minister!)

best BB

*Pours some ice cold grolsch for Lin just in case anyway - sorry, tea's off until someone else is behind the counter! Could make you a coffee though? *

No idea, I don't really like anything that tastes like alcohol. So I have the 'candy water' stuff, you know the girly alcohol, spirits and whatever.
I've only had one bottle of beer in my life and that was because I was kinda egged on to finish it. Disgusting.

(btw ain't it a crime not to follow the ashes series?

Hell no. Especially not for an Asian girl like me. Maybe if you were a Curry guy or something (btw 'Curry' is in no way derogatory here. Not like in SA I hear) I have a friend who plays cricket for the state, actually.

And no, I didn't watch the rugby final either. I don't follow sport unless it's the Olympics or Commonwealth games. The latter's going to be here next year! Yay.

heh - you guys have been pomme-bashing for so long: couldn't resist mentioning that final and your really gracious Prime minister!)

Bash our PM as much as you like. God knows I despise him. You know what though, at least he hasn't run up huge bills making himself all pretty and such. *Pointed look at BB*

*Pours some ice cold grolsch for Lin just in case anyway - sorry, tea's off until someone else is behind the counter! Could make you a coffee though? *

Thanks, but I don't want coffee. How can I get to sleep?

well tea has even more caffeine if your'e off to sleep!

Never mind, I think my memory made something up, or I misunderstood something as I listened to the news half-awake in the morning.

Amount of caffeine depends on what tea you have. Furthermore, in its dry form, tea does have more caffeine, but per cup, coffee has much more. And tea doesn't really make me sleepy nor alert. Therefore I demand some! You can make some with the 10 types or so I have in my home...

Curry= Indian, Sri Lankan, Pakistani etc person. This term is not derogatory here.

[Grey_Wolf]

This is the place for the new currency marker which I've invented. An M crossed by two horizontal lines. Neat, eh?

LINAEWEN:
I know, I didn't take too kindly to you spreading rumours that we were engaged and then saying that I'd said strange stuff. You crazy mutt.

Btw are you at the library now or sth?

Library. Comp is burned out. Given up hope.
I spread rumors? Radagast TB was the one who told me He and Yourself were engaged. I just proposed before you fell indefinitely into that Tyrants arms.

UPDATE:
Wait a minute... (and I've just read following posts by Jon and Lin etc...)
hmm...well...alright then.
First of all, I hardly remember proposing to Lin. Maybe she and Rad cooked that up, or maybe my memory is shot (work! work does this to me!), either way, it was a while ago. Second, if Earniel will still marry my horrible, erring self (though honest), thats the path I'll pursue.
As for Jonathan and Earniel, I remember hooking thme up for that "Spring ball" deal that SGH closed down.

MERCUTIO:
wait...I thought the rumors were that I was engaged to hb. Or that I was his brother...or sister. Well the sibling stuff came first.

ah the fun times.

What? I stayed for the rumors about us bieng siblings (remember Val was our father, and...gosh! what was her name?
Engaged though? Sounds like Twista's handiwork.

[trolls' bane]

Well, guess who's back!
*everyone scatters like 'roaches*
Thanks, I wish I could have stayed in Shasta, too!

Well, a whole lot has gone on in the last three weeks.
To make a few long stories short:
-Mom is off the respirator, trach tube, sedative and is talking!
-Shasta was great! I actually went on the innertube, and drove the Jet Ski by my self! (got it up to 40 with dad on hte back, 30 without him!)
-I am now living in Indio, and I'm starting high-school in La Quinta High. Big surprise, huh? That's where I am right now!

Not going to read all my missed posts, so what important stuff have I missed?

[Pytt]

TB! Great to see you! And good to hear everythings going strong. Hope you will be here some now *gives something to drink and eat*
And there was much rejoicing!

[Lotesse]

Hi, trolls' bane! Great to see you back in mootland; how was your vacation? Got any photos to show us?

I did not start spreading the rumours. you sent me this -

That Linaewen! She is elusive isnt she? *rubs hands together*

Did she tell you that She and I are getting married? No!? Elusiveness again...

I only told Lin, IIRC, what you told me. *innocent*

Ah yes, I remember that. Unfortunately I tend to delete nonsense from my inbox so I don't have similar proof. Not that we need it, we all know HB's a liar.

[trolls' bane]

Well, I'm glad to be back! The trip was awesome! Not quite as relaxed as I thought, on the contrary I always had more than one thing to do. I was constantly worn out, but a good kind of warn out.

I have a few pictures between my dad's camera and my own. Not very good ones, since I was usually too busy struggling to keep up with Andrew (Zeak on HVEL) in the swimming, or on the innertube, or watching people on the innertube from the ski boat we rented, or whatever. I did take plenty of video, three hours worth, though it could be easily cut down to 45 minutes of the best parts. Unfortuneately, I don't exactly how to take a DVD and be able to play it on the net. By e-mail? It would probably not interest anyone for very long, in fact I have got to get to editing it again!
Well, I'm beat, because it is so late, and it's been a long, not to mention hot, dry, dusty, 114 degree fahrenheit day (in celsius, that's hot).
I'll drop by all my major hotspots, probably the village, my e-mails, etc.

Thanks fo rthe drink! I need it!
