My When Will I Die Test results:

I have 62 years left to live.
I will die in 2073 at age 85.
I am beating the average lifespan for someone my age by 4 years.
To put it another way, I have the health of a 19 year old.
I have lived 27% of my life already.

When Will I Die?

Seriously? I sort of doubt it... Omi: died at 90 (bear in mind she had a hole in her heart and was mentally still there) / Opa: died after a stroke at 80. Grandpa: 91 and still going strong / Granny: 88, but sadly has dementia. Grandpa's parents: died at 95 / Grandpa's uncle and aunt: 97 and 95. Aren't you supposed to live LONGER than your forefathers??? So you'd better make that 95. Plus sorta wanted to live until 2100. Doubtful, but it would be cool.

Why are there no green mammals? What kind of title is that for a that for a tutorial essay? Quite appropriate according to S-J... So what is the answer? Well basically most animals are nocturnal and therefore don't have colour-vision. Why? As always there is a trade-off between one thing and another. It is better to see something in the dark than nothing at all. It also has something to do with the rods and the cones found in the eyes and the way they are "wired" . (To be continued)

Mammals do have green pigments in them called biloverdin (spelling?) that cause the skin to look green when an individual feels ill. That's what gives humans that green tinge. It doesn't seem to have incooperated itself into hair or fur though...

And now tune in for: The Scream

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!

Nope still annoyed at that Khadaffi idiot. The nerve of him! Who does he take himself for? God! Please tell me Switz has allies of some kind? I can see maybe France wanting part of Switzerland. There's a reason why Sarcozi is compared to Napoleon... Doubt the Germans would want anything with a language that awful, with which you have to wash phlegm out of your hair weeks later! Italians? Well Belusconi is a distant relative of Mussolini, right? Oh well I say he is! So I can see him wanting Tessin. As for Austria, well same as for Germany... Hideous language problem. (No offence, but Swiss German is awful!)

Hey had anther great idea! Yes another one, you'll remember my idea from the other post on Sunday, February 17, 2008... and I quote: "OH-HO! I just another brain-wave! Yes ANOTHER one actually, you'll remember the other one about taking over the world. I've had an idea for a Friday discussion topic. Not that today is Friday or that it is really worth discussing, but ANYWAY... So here it is: Do YOU believe in ghosts?" Send some Swiss Germans to K-farty and make them sing to him! He's sure to hand those hostages back then and then leave them there for extra-torture! MWAHAHAHAHAHA!!! No, seriously it could work!

2009-09-05T01:27:00.004+02:00

Hi y'all, well Nobody! It's time for another rant! What do you mean "oh no, not again"?!

Here goes:

What the BLOODY HELL is wrong with that utter b@st@ard of Khadaffi?! Oh dear your moron of a son has had "problems with the Genevan police before"? Well why do you come here then?! I don't know whether you've noticed, but CIVILISED people don't hit their servants; they don't have any! Well that can be debated, but moving on.

So you get imprisoned? You should have stayed in there several months! You must abide by rules of this country and what's more I see no reason why you should benefit from Swiss medical care. If your country is that great, go to your own hospitals. You never paid into the Swiss Medical Insurance.

Give us those hostages back! Or have you killed them already? Switzerland has made all kinds of concessions. What have you done? Nothing! It's like with Hitler and Chamberlain. Mertz should step down; it's enough. It's time to send in the Secret Service and retrieve those people before it's too late. Either that or tell the Americans there's oil there. Damn Bush isn't president anymore! Oh well maybe the president could "accidentally" drop a bomb on Khadaffi!

Leave this country alone! How dare you go to the UN and ask to dissemble Switzerland?! You can't do that! Not even with a criminal state like -lets say Libya. By the way here's a new map, should send THAT to the UN!

For all people out there who have no clue about Geography, here's the old IMO to be destroyed map:
What can I hear you say? Maybe Egypt doesn't want Libya? What's Libya? Never heard of it.

Switzerland was ridiculed and if they ever want to see those hostages again, they better get their act together and start doing something instead of shitting themselves like they usually do! Come on Switzerland! Oh and also if you want you can buy Libya! Starting price is 1 Pence!

If his son ever steps foot in this country again, he will not be leaving it alive or at all for that matter! I hope they make him a "person non Grata".
Didn't someone say "we don't deal with terrorists"? (Please don't say it was Bush...) so why in God's name are we even talking to these morons? Enough with the talking! Go over there and FETCH them and why not kidnap Kafarty's son? Honestly as that Right politician said: "CH can survive without Libya's oil" so get rid of Tamoil and send them packing. Who needs that country? Corrupt criminal fools. Ha guess what Khadaffi! Your name isn't even in this dictionnary! You're a nobody! An insignificant corrupt criminal leader who will die one day like everyone else and there is nothing you can do about it!

End of transmission.

So now for something RANDOM, be warned it's weirder than what weird describes!

Survey Guy: Excuse me! I'm doing a survey about kind of music people are listening to. What are you listening to?
Guy: Huh? (Shouts) I can't hear you I'm listening to music! (Takes headphones off)
SG: I said I'm doing a survey about what kind of music people listen to on their MP3 Players.
G: I don't have an MP3 player; this is an iPod!
SG: Gawd... (Whispers) What a dunce! (Loud) An iPod IS an MP3 Player!
G: No it isn'!
SG: OK, whatever. What music are you listening to on it at the moment?
G: I'm Horny.
SG: Excuse me?!
G: I said I'm Horny.
SG: What does that have to do with anything?! I asked you what song you're listening to!
G: I'm Horny.
SG: So you said! I still don't understand the relationship between the state of your arousal and the song you're listening to...
G: I'm Horny is a song by E-rotic...
SG: OH. Bye! (Runs off) Weirdo...

Later

SG: Excuse me, Madam!
Woman: Yes.
SG: What music are you listening to?
W: When I think about you, I touch myself.
SG: Er... We only just met! I don't know you...
W: Yeah it's the name of the song by Blondie.
SG: Oh...

Even more later

SG: Excuse me, what song are you listening to?
Other Guy: Sex over the phone.
SG: Excuse me?! I don't engage in that sort of activity!
OT: It's by the Village People, you twit!
SG: I knew that. Excuse me, Miss? What song are you listening to?
Girl: Kiss me where it smells funny.
SG: Er... Charmed I'm sure. Call me a bit of a traditionalist, but I prefer to take a girl out first...
G: It's the name of the song!!! It's by Bloodhound Gang, you pervert! (Storms off)
SG: What is wrong with these people?!

OK, RANDOM people listen up: no one asked you to come here and read this, so keep you're snide remarks to yourself. This blog was originally designed for my cousins to read so they knew what was going on in my corner of the world. So next time if you have something to say, tell your wall because frankly I couldn't give a toss. Also not to be insulting, but FUCK OFF. If you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything it all. Any other RANDOM people wanting to leave nice remarks or constructive criticism, feel free to.

Hehe, now for an update. Saw a preview from an English film (can't remember the name) and in one scene one of the guys calls his girlfriend (or whatever she is) and says: "I love you." whilst crying. She says: "I love you too." Guy: "Really?" and then the woman adds: "I want to marry you!" RECORD SCRATCH. Guy: "Okay... Gotta go!" and hangs up. That was hilarious! Typical as well.

2008-08-30T01:40:00.003+02:00

OK, there's nothing else to do and that German form is really pissing me off. So for that song "Sex Control" by Band Ohne Namen.

Lyrics:

Immerzu, immerfort denk ich nur an den Tag,
Als ich gesagt hab´, dass ich Dich mag
Und Du gefragt hast, ob ich nicht Lust hätte,
Die Nacht mir Dir zu verbringen und das haben wir gemacht.

Incessantly, evermore I think of the day,
When I said that I liked you
And you asked whether I felt like
Spending the night with you and we did.

In dieser Nacht hörte ich Glocken klingen,
Und auf den Schwingen der Lust hört' ich die Engel singen.
Ich war bereit, alles zu geben, was mein Herz sagt,
Und in der Tat bist Du das Beste, was ich je erlebt hab´.

That night I heard bells ringing,
And on the wings of lust I heard the angels singing,
I was ready to give it everything my heart told me to,
And indeed you are the best, that I have ever experienced.

Doch jetzt, egal wie sehr ich mich ablenk´,
Ändert es nichts daran, dass ich nur an Dich denk´.
Du hast mir den Kopf verrenkt, ich weiss ganz genau:
Honey, I need you right now.

However now, no matter how much I distract myself,
It doesn't alter, that I only think of you.
You have played with my head, I know it exactly:
Honey, I need you right now.

Refrain (2x):
You got me under control
You took me right by my soul
You know my body can roll
Let me be the ball, you the goal

(Partial instrumental with talking)

Ich hätte nie gedacht, dass nur eine Nacht soviel ausmacht,
Nur weil mich ein Mädchen anlacht, doch im Moment,
Egal was ich jetzt mach´, ich kann es nicht zu Ende bringen,
Denn ich bin vor Liebe ganz schwach.

I would have never thought that one night would make such a big difference,
Only because a girl smiles at me, however at the moment,
No matter what I do now, I can't finish it,
Because I am weak from love.

Früher war das so: War die eine nicht nah,
War immer klar, da war sofort 'ne Andere da,
Doch jetzt gibt es nur noch Dich, die mein Feuer entfacht
Und Baby, seit dieser Nacht will ich dass wir alle Wege nur gemeinsam gehen,
Möchte mit Dir ganz oben auf der Leiter stehen,
Und obwohl ich weiss, dass Du die Kontrolle hast, glaub´ ich:
Auch für Dich war´s die heilige Nacht.

In the past it was like this: When one wasn't near,
It was always clear, straight away another one was there,
However now there is only you, who lights my fire,
And Baby, since that night I want us to go all paths together,
Want to stand right at the top of the ladder with you,
And although I know that you have the control, I think:
For you too it was the Holy Night.

Refrain (4x)
You got me under control
You took me right by my soul
You know my body can roll
Let me be the ball, you the goal

(Partial instrumental with talking)

Refrain (3x)
You got me under control
You took me right by my soul
You know my body can roll
Let me be the ball, you the goal

Great, I really should stop with these rather crappy translation, but it's better than nothing presumably... Then again on second thought "nothing would have been less time consuming.

2008-08-29T03:37:00.004+02:00

Now for something completely different: Männer sind Schweine! See the translation in the er... well not sure you'll have to look through the blog! Go Lara Croft!!! Sung by "The Ärzte" once again, don't own it, bla bla bla... Enjoy...

Or here featuring the lyrics (in German) courtesy of XDuiiiblubb. Thx, mate. (Should asked before "stealing" it) No hard feelings, right? Uh oh * XDuiiiblubb approaching at high speed with mob gang* I'm outta here!

Rather sad song by the same people and partially German...

2008-08-28T23:21:00.018+02:00

I took a trip down memory lane. Yes, yes "it's not good to dwell in the past", but that is a DIFFERENT discussion, which is way down there VVV somewhere... Found a reference to "Bratisla Boys", which I think unless I'm much mistaken is a fake "Russian" band formed by this French guy. Anyway some guys from school performed it at the promotions 2002. I think Michael, Adrien and Stéphane did it. Yes Stéphane IS the guy who asked me to marry him twice... HONESTLY. Someone had the nerve to ask him what he'd do if I said "yes". What they fail to see is that for starters I NEVER would have said yes even over my dead body and secondly being minor we'd have needed our parents' permission, which I highly doubt would have been granted... Those were the days. Glad they're over! They annoyed the ... out of me! In fact we had a choice between this and the ThunderBird scene from Greece. They chose this and I stayed backstage! Well I would have done in any event! Anyway I found the song they played! So here's the clip from the original "Bratisla Boys"! Well for legal reasons: DISCLAIMER: Don't own this video or the rights for it. Didn't make any money from it and it's been posted here purely for your amusement, so you better be amused!

Funny, not to mention weird stuff.

Remember also I told you about the German group "Band ohne Namen", so "Group without a name" singing a "DISGUSTING, GROSS(IÉ[AIR]S) " -sorry no idea what the hell I was referring to with the air bit...- song? Well probably not since it was 0n 27th February 2002... I believe I found it on YouTube, so here it is. Yes it is in German, but the refrain is in English and some random partially instrumental pieces are English. It's partially orgasmic. I can't believe they had this on a kids' show! Anyway for your hmmm pleasure, here it is! Once again... NOT mine, etc... I might post a translation, but don't count on it.

Well, sorry I was 14 when I saw it! Scar(r)ed for life! Oh so THAT explains why I'm so weird! Oh nice laser contraption! I need to get me one of those! Anyway I quite like the song. Oops, yeah my song taste is a little... different to what most people would like. Basically it's about a guy confusing sexual infatuation with love. At least it isn't too whiny...

2008-08-17T02:34:00.004+02:00

Boy do I have news for you! Oh wait I was wrong... Well the only "new" thing is that I got my provisional liscence.
Rhubarb and Raspberry: I hope you moved to your new place without to much loss of the old priceless antique furniture! If you ever get you net up and running we should do a webbie. How's the chocolate thing going? And Raspy: How did the medical exam go? Have you started school yet?
Come to think of it, why didn't I just put this in an e-mail? Good question, but the human mind is complex (in some cases) and if we were to understand it, our interlectual capacity would be to low to grasp it.

OK, this isn't a video, but you've got to love Atshoo's snort! Enjoy the Blackness and the snort!

Gotta love Mel Brooks! Yes, GOT TO and if you don't then very bad things will happen to you...
Mel Brooks is watching... (What a pervert! *Horde of Mel Brooks fans approaching at incredebly alarming speed* It was just a joke! I'm outta here, so see ya!

Better update... It's been quite a while. What's new? Not much really, apart that the Mac battery is well and truly... How to put it? Buggered. Took it to the Mac repair shop and they said it would be done end morning, because they were going to do a full battery cycle and test it. It STILL isn't finished and it's nearly 4 o'Clock!!! As long as they have it finished before we fly to the UK.

OK, Rhubarb and Raspberry: the modem is in the "master guest bedroom". As you enter the room, it's on the left on the bottom shelf of the night table. I'm not sure where the cables are. They're either still attached to the modem or in the night table drawer or in the top left drawer of the dressing table. Anyway connect it and plug it in. Wait for all the lights to turn green and stop flashing. Then detect the wireless connection. It's called Tiscali(insert numbers here) and as a password you type in the WAP number, which is written at the bottom of the modem. Then it should work. Theoretically anyway.
Not been doing much, in fact nothing at all...
Had a very weird dream... That's the most exciting which has happened... Apart from the spell check not functioning on here...

2008-06-07T19:39:00.000+02:00

2008-04-24T10:39:00.003+02:00

Well better update YET again. Aren't we doing well this year? Finally installed Internet at Grandparents. (To be continued) In fact before the continuation let me use this oportunity to say or write rather: RHUBARB and RASPBERRY: Hem hem hem! A) UPDATE!!! B) UPDATE!!! and C) Did I mention update yet??? Also were are the comments??? Don't make me post that photo again, because you know I will! OK, you have exams now, but when they've finished you better comment or else... Big trouble ie "The Hole". End of transmission. (To be continued)

2008-04-11T12:16:00.003+02:00

Well better update again although really dunno who reads it as there are no COMMENTS! Don't make me post that photo again because you know I will! Or I would if I weren't at uni and had the Mac with me...

Not much to say really. There were two thunderstorms yesterday, which is really bizarre... It's way to early in the season for that kind of thing!

What else is new? Hmmm... Nothing really. Going to England tomorrow for an indefinite amount of time (probably 3 weeks). Ordered Tiscali but don't know when it is going to be installed and I hope it works...

Anyway revise/sleep/play/work/breathe/(insert activity here) well and cya!

2008-04-04T19:37:00.013+02:00

Now some stuff about Doncaster. First some general views:

Rockery. Don't think there's any Lavender left on this patch.

Willow tree.

Same thing, but in landscape format.

Apple trees and "The Hole" should be somewhere back there as well.

The Chalet.

Rockery view from the Chalet. OK, remember I said that we really need to clean the chalet on the 7th of March? I'll just re-quote then: "Oh YES and what's more: we really need to clean out the chalet as there is some weird growth starting to appear on the floor. Here is the evidence! Er... Well actually there isn't any as I didn't take any photos... So you'll just have to take my word for it!" NOW I have the evidence!

This clutter is easily "out-cleanable".

Possibly re-arranging it would be a good idea, so that it's stored better.

Realistically, we're never going to sleep in here, but what we COULD do is: take everything out, dust it, wash it down and basically clean it. What can be thrown away, sold or in any other way dealt with should be taken care of in the appropriate manner.

I mean this carpet really needs to be cleaned and dunno about the chair. Is it needed? Can it at least be cleansed or sold?

That's the weird growth I was talking about...

No one spends any amount of time in here, but this looks downright toxic? Dunno how we're going to get rid of it... Bleach may kill the tiles.

Dead insects... Great.

Stuff under the carpet.

As my mudja would bluntly put it, "insect shit".

This is still the most harmless of dirt.

Needs cleaning really, don't it?

Thought we could maybe replace this curtain as it is stained and bleached.

Now to something more pretty: A daffodil!

Flowers of some sort.

Rockery "inned"

Vertebrae of ... Well that's the mystery... Of whom or what?

New placement for the big thigh bone and bone fragments.

Rib fragments. Don't know what happened to the rest.

No comment.

The best part about this picture is the background! Oh wait, there is no background... Guess there's nothing good about this pic then...

2008-04-04T01:56:00.008+02:00

Posts about London! Went to London on Saturday the 29th with my Fadja. It was OK, but way way WAY too crowded for me. Also had to wake up at 07:30, which in itself already isn't a pleasure, but the problem was I couldn't sleep the night before... Also the weather was not great. The weather forecast peep said it would rain at night... Well it didn't! It rained from 3 o'clock onwards. Anyway here are some photos with useless descriptions...

Wanted to go in here, but we didn't... :-( There was a scary ''Dementor-looking'' guy standing outside.

Stone ''plaque'' after London Bridge.

Tower Bridge I think...

View over London, from London Bridge.

Scary looking building in London.

Weird post to stop cars from entering.

Some statue looking like "Britannia" on a building.

Great name. Can we send Bush there? Bet he'd love it!

Close-up of plaque on the building.

2008-04-04T01:52:00.001+02:00

Cathedral thing. No idea what it is...

Tower of London.

Different view of Tower of London.

Yet another Tower of London pic. We didn't go inside! It would have taken too long...

View over London from next to the Tower.

Tower Bridge.

London.

Traitor's Gate.

Tower walls.

Walls yet again.

Canon with plug in it!

The longer the better!

Tower supporting the bridge.

Same thing from a different view.

Tower walls again from different location.

A bit further on.

Me in front of the Tower of London. told you these descriptions would be great!

2008-04-04T01:33:00.010+02:00

View over London from the "lower level" of St Paul's Cathedral.

It was really windy up there!

View from the top.

No need for description really, so we'll leave it blank.

St. Paul's Cathedral. We went right up to the top!

From the outside.

2008-04-04T01:28:00.004+02:00

Westminster Abbey.

Heh, Big Ben just poking out there. We missed the opening hours for Westminster...

Hall of Westminster.

Hall of Westminster again.

Abbey of Westminster again. ALSO missed the opening hours by 30 minutes...

George the 5th statue.

Hall AGAIN.

Abbey from the other side of the road.

Richard the Lion Heart. He was French (couldn't speak a word of English), gay, and probably atheist...

Cromwell... He wanted a republic and yet he said his son should rule on after his death. What he sought was a Cromarchy!

Big Ben (or Pedell; don't ask, it was a really weird trip!).

Some Westminster thing again.

Big Ben in all its gory, I mean glory.

Westminster Abbey YET AGAIN.

2008-04-04T01:22:00.012+02:00

Gates to Buckingham Palace.

Lion statue on the gate post.

Gates again.

The people were more interested in the horse than the castle. According to this guy the Queen was in Windsor.

Buckingham Palace. Ugly and stony.

Well going to England!!! So Rhubarb: shot glasses for you. Raspberry: what do you want? Well you can always SMS me later...

Have fun y'all! Revise well and don't do/say/dream/eat/whatever "insert action/noun/verb/adjective here" anything I wouldn't!! On second thought... I'll leave it up to you to decide! Anyway, cya!

2008-03-27T04:00:00.002+01:00

What is this I see? (Rhetorical question and don't think I don't know what you're thinking, 'cos I do!) In the danger of sounding like Umbridge: hem hem! Rhubarb, where is your comment?! I write a wonderful text about BO for you and no comment appears? Naughty! Should be deep deep vista-in-pink-with-pink-belt-thrown-into-the-hole-along-with-you trouble, but as you've got exams approaching, we ie I can probably make an exception just this once. I don't write just because I like the sight of my own writing... OK that was SUPPOSED to be a "quote transformation" of "I don't talk just because I like the sound of my own voice" but it wasn't too successful.

ANYway moving with the speed of light right along: How are you all? Yay :) or awww :( depending on your answer. So what have you all been up to? Please, not all at once!

Raspberry: Interesting or rather disgusting comment you posted there... Scary. You could have maybe stolen his clothes and burnt them or er... well at least try and wash them. A gas mask is probably still the best solution. Yup, "when the perfume is worse than the body odor". You should have told him to save the deo and just roll in dung... Oops sorry, yeah a bit on the malicious side today... Did you have fun at least? Gawd knows "life is like a roller coaster you just gotta ride it" to quote whoever sang that song. Good to see that he (the singer) seems to think we have control over our lives... Maybe we don't. Maybe there really is a greater meaning to all this governed by some divine power? However THAT is a different discussion, so we'll discuss it later (or never).

Rhubarb: How's revision?

Got German exam later on. Yay! NOT. Yesterday we had to do an English and French text comprehension... in German... Basically you received a text in English (and later on one in French) then we had to summarize it in German and answer English and French questions in German. For the last part we had to write a text about a question they gave us in English and French. Think I forgot the conclusion in English... OH WELL you can't win 'em all. In fact I can't win any... But who cares? Can do Zoology in Sheffield.

Will be in England in 18 hours until next Thursday. No Internet as yet at grandparents, but I'll prob go to Lyn's or summat to use it.

"Oy" to quote Manny the Mammoth from "Ice Age" and Timon the Meerkat from "The Lion King"... As dead as a caught, shot, dead, plucked, disembowled, prepared, stuffed, marinated, roasted, served, eaten, digested and excreted Dodo!!! That in more than one sense of the word. (Whoa haven't used that expression for a long time! It's kinda long tho; by the time you've finished it you can't even remember WHY you were as dead as caught, shot dead ... [just kidding you don't have to read it all again] dodo...) Can't sleep although I'm bloody tired. Feels like I'm floating. It honestly feels as tho my soul were detaching itself from the body. Surprised Brain is still operational... Yup used "feels" twice up there, but never mind. Can't be bothered to find a synonym. Here, some work for ya: you look for one then tell me 'bout it. Afraid of over-sleeping and missing the train... Oh well. Gonna be seriously begging for sleep this afternoon, but there's none to be had... Hope you're doing better. CYA!

2008-03-17T17:38:00.004+01:00

"but seriously some ppl's B.O. is to much to take - can't they smell it? I think people don't smell their own 'smell' do they? no matter how strong it is.. reminds me of that scene in Perfume when he's in the cave trying to smell his 'smell' hahah sounds pretty weird but u know the bit. :9" from Rhubarb.

OK, Rhubarb to answer your question about B.O. (Body odour) from the 10th of March. Er...

Well I know what you mean. We had the same problem at Moser with these 2 people. One of them unwittingly revealed being allergic to soap, so they didn't use any. Okayyyy, but there are non-soap cleansing products you can use... Also: next time keep THAT kind of shit to yourself!! Oh yeah N said that during a Maths exam he sat behind that said person and as we were in a small space quite squashed together you can imagine what happened. Yup, he got regular wafts of stench coming his way... In fact that person later went to Geneva uni to do Chemistry. Now, usually we don't have lectures with Chem people EXCEPT for Maths. So during the (a different) Maths exam I was sitting behind that person... One word summary: Help!!!

That answers nothing though, so moving on: can people smell their own B.O.? Hmmm, well let's start with you first: can YOU smell your own B.O.? If you can, then they must too. So either they ignore it or they don't care less. Is it always the same people who have B.O.? If it is then maybe they don't realize how bad it is and should maybe be told. Maybe you could hint at it by offering them a Deodorant spray/roll on or maybe deo wipes. Either that or they don't care... It can happen to anyone just once not having used enough deo or being really stressed.

You know how some B.O.s aren't as bad as others? Well scientists did a test and made people smell other people's smelly t-shirts and rate them (so say how much they liked/hated the smell of them). The scientists then found that we tend to like B.O.s of people who have different immune defences than we do. That way the offspring will be protected against a wider range of illnesses. So possibly they may seem really strong to you, but not to others for that reason. Apparently sweat contains DNA. Can't find any quotes proving this though... Anyway don't take that as a fact, but I think it may do, but what do I know? I didn't even make into second year of Bio!

You only have one choice really: ask them whether they just like the smell of themselves or whether they just like (smell) polluting/stinking the place out... You could further go on to telling them that they should be considered a Biological Weapon! Or not... Depends who they are and how much you like them. Maybe take a gas mask next time...

At least with bad breath you can offer them a, well several even breath mints or even just normal sweets or get them to shut up! You can't really say: "I'll just spray some Deo on you." can you?

Another problem is when people use TOO much perfume!!! My conclusion: they marinate in it, they bathe in that instead of water, they go through ten bottles a week or they wash their clothes in it. I mean REALLY... As N said: "There are no mosquitoes about..." ie they don't need to put so much "repellent" on. I mean yeah a subtle hint of scent when someone walks past is fine, but no a great big "pouff" that nearly knocks you out! Honestly...

Also In England they also use that Lynx deo (Axe in Switzerland- the same with a different name) as room fresheners! They must do, because it smells of it everywhere! Maybe they put it in the paint. Hello, People? There are other deos, you know... Talking 'bout smell diversity.

Yeah know what you mean. That guy in "The Perfume" didn't have a smell, did he? Great, so he thought he'd make himself one out of other people's B.O. Look where that got him! Yup. Eaten... But yay it had Snape aka Alan Rickman in it!! Er... Moving rapidly right along.

So what is worse? Oh wait that wasn't the question, was it? The question was about whether people can smell their own smell or not. What do other's say? Yup we've actually got OTHER people's opinions this time!!! Here is an "interview" with D:

do you think people can smell their own smell?
I mean body odour?
i think yeah sometimes, but maybe not as the other can smell it
some people stink too much
and they don't seem to notice
but maybe we stink for em also
i mean odours are quiet subjective, like for perfume
Then there was some off-topicness until:
so what's worse?
Too much perfume
or a person who stinks?
I don't know both make me sick
So most people seem to think that people can smell their own smell... Guess you were wrong!

2008-03-16T04:15:00.012+01:00

Now for the benefit of all... A few dreams. Be warned they are weird. We are talkin' 'bout me after all, not some sane person!

Dream 1 (15th of March)

Was staying with D (girl from uni) in a big hotel room. (Will post a picture later; once you can attach printers to your brain and can print what you imagine...). The room consisted in two large spaces separated by a room containing the toilet. There was a large double bed with two nightstands on either side of it and a single bed with a heightened surface next to the wall was at the right of it in the first space. Above the double bed there was a window. To enter the second space one has to walk through a corridor. Opposite the toilet room there was a single bed against the wall with once again a heightened surface between the bed and the wall. Once in the second space there was a door with an old key in the lock leading out to some unknown location. To the right of that door, one could go down a flight of stairs. At the back of the room, there was a very large bathroom with two sliding doors. I couldn't decide which bed to take, just as I had made a choice D said she wanted that one so I took the one next to the double bed. That big bathroom scared me as I thought it was haunted. I was about to ask D whether this place was very old. The walls were all made from red brick.
All of a sudden I noticed a little bird. It was about the size of a robin. It fluttered around and landed on a chair and changed into what looked like a brown owl bout 30 centimeters high. I thought it was a "Kukubarra" or something, but in fact it was "The Bird Of Happiness". It sat there and stared at me with its yellow eyes. Then in twittered: "There's no happiness here. No happiness." I was going to grab it to put it back outside, but it pecked me on the hand and took off through the open window above the double bed.
At some point I told D about it, but she couldn't care less if I had told her it was raining without there being any clouds.
Somehow I was on a landing that led to a swimming pool and the grandparents were swimming there. I went down to them. They were in a "forepool" with a swimming instructor. At the bottom of this rather small, but very deep pool a trapdoor could be seen. Granny asked the instructor whether one had to go through this trapdoor to reach the main swimming pool. Grandpa said "no" and dragged her off. I however dived down to take a closer look at it. I found I could breathe underwater. The instructor cried out to an unseen person: "Fetch the paramedics! Someone's breathing in water!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dream 1.2 (15th of March)

That was seemingly the end of that dream... I was in a bookshop in Geneva and they were selling special editions of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" with notes made by JRR Tolkien (Author of "Lord of the Rings" among other things; died in 1973) in yellow on each page describing what JK Rowling was trying to achieve with certain writing styles and what certain things were implying. (Slight time problem as "HP and the DH" was written about 34 years after Tolkien died.) I wanted to buy it, however it was really expensive, something between 40 and 70 Francs. Since I already had the book another one would be a waste of money.
I was ridding in a bus and my mother called. She said: "You shouldn't keep taking the bus to get home! It isn't safe! You should take the train!" Suddenly I thought of England and P. How was I going to get from Doncaster station to the grandparents? The train didn't go along there, so I'd have to walk... I was going to have to tell him that. Anyway I was really annoyed that people kept interfering that I hung up.
It was in the middle of the night, which was strange as it had been mid-afternoon just seconds before. I was back at the hotel room. D was sitting on a sofa in the middle of the room playing an Apple© keyboard. (You could plug it into a Mac and then somehow play it) She asked whether we should get some food from Marks and Spencer (or Marks and Sparks; never did see the difference). I said: "Sure." The room changed appearance into a ground floor house. There were wooden shelves on the walls filled with VHS tapes. The TV was on and I showed D the DVDs I had brought from home. The selection was rather wide and for some reason "All dogs go to Heaven 3" (doesn't exist) was part of it. She said she had seen the 2, so she put it on and it basically was the story of Charlie (main dog character) as a puppy.
My mother magically appeared and said she was sorry for interfering. As she hugged me these two girls appeared at the door. We could see them through the glass pane in the front door, but I looked through the window (right of the door) to get a better look at them. D opened the door whilst my mother had disappeared again. I thought D knew them, but she didn't. They said we had 20 minutes to photograph them in. We just stared at them.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dream 2 (15th of March)

There was a big underground cave and a guy who had been "frozen" for several years just woke up to update all his machines as he had missed 10 years of modernization. He went up some steps to his room and switched his Mac on. It said: "Look who it is!" just as his black friend entered the room. His friend told him something as he was unplugging his mother's mouse to plug it into his own computer via USB. Just then his mother came back and was everything else but pleased to find her mouse unplugged. He left the room fuming and turned into a Robin Hood character from the "Robin Hood: The Legend of Sherwood" computer game.
I was playing the game and decided to find out what happens if you kill a main character, so I made Robin Hood go over to him and start a fight (which is impossible in the actual game). Of course RH won and the other guy was sliced. Later RH was riding along on a horse with Little John (who had his own horse) and were accosted by enemy soldiers, who attacked them instantly. Somehow RH's sword was suspended in mid air so he'd have to jump to use it. (All this is impossible in the real game.) I wanted him to shoot all the people with his bow and arrows since it was the last mission, therefore it would not impact greatly on the lives spared rate. RH had a different plan though and refused to shoot them, instead he just stood there and nearly died.
The scene changed back to the cave and it looked slightly different. Then a MSN conversation popped up; it was a 20 by 10 meter square. It was from J saying he really was back now. I answered something and entered the box somehow. I crossed a bridge over a river to a white van parked outside J's house. I pushed it away with ease whilst laughing. Then I put it back.
There was a scene change to the cave, which had been seriously renewed. Instead of having to walk up the steep steps to the exit, little wagons on rails drove you up. A black and golden dog, who had a video camera attached to him, had been smuggled into the cave to spy on an evil Italian fat guy resembling that evil puppeteer guy from Pinocchio. The dog jumped into a car and hid there. The car was lowered into a deep water hole. Some divers sat in that car. They found the dog, who had hidden in the boot of the car. He nearly drowned, but just managed to escape through the back doors.
There was some weird scene change to this person trying to cook spaghetti by just pouring hot water from the tap on it. He put it into a bowl and put it on an old wooden table. He went to a back storeroom and when he returned this old women said that he should eat chocolate sauce with the spaghetti. He did! How disgusting is that? Spaghetti with chocolate sauce? Gross...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dream 3 (15th of March)

Next dream was really really really weird! Some woman was going to have a sex change operation against her will. The doctor injected the sedative into her hand. He performed the operation, which was partially seen. A few weeks later the woman or rather now man sat on her/his new genitals and she found out that it really hurts. Dunno how possible it is for a person who had a sex change to feel anything "down there" though. Not entirely sure how they "connect" the nerves, so I wouldn't know.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dream 4 (15th of March)

I was going to a Chinese restaurant with the parents and grandparents. Granny was driving, but I was scared she would drive wrong, but she didn't. We parked right next to it. We went inside and up some steps. There were two swimming pools on either side of a "space" containing couches. People were still swimming although some guards were making sure no one else went in. These little boys kept jumping in and splashing us. There also was an old woman, who apparently had been in there all day; she was watching us suspiciously. I told Penny about the dream I had with the dog in summary. A waiter gave Penny and me a present wrapped up in plastic. The little boys made a MEGA splash, so I bypassed the guards and jumped in with the present and fully dressed. The waiter asked me in German why I had done that and I responded: "I got splashed and was so wet already that it makes no difference whether I jump in or not." He gave me a towel and I opened the present and found that it was a really bizarre alarm clock and luckily it still worked! You could regulate the size of the knobs on it. It was really strange... Penny said she had blamed her iPod of being bizarre, but it was the music from the over-head loudspeakers that was bugging as she hugged Grandpa. She was going to show the present to Grandpa, but I woke up...

THE END

2008-03-12T01:18:00.004+01:00

What's new? Once again why am I asking you? Well, apart from the new Physics assistant "Okay with hair" [the previous assistant was nicknamed Okay as each of his phrases would start and end with okay; this one doesn't do it but from lack of inspiration I called the new one "OK with hair" as OK was balding] made the fuses blow twice by switching his machine on and succeeded in breaking the microphone. We couldn't hear anything after that. These girls were talking about these gay guys they knew and how they thought Mareda (Organic Chemistry Prof) might be gay. Don't think so... "He's not wearing a wedding ring." Yeah? Neither am I. Does that make me gay? I think the "electrician" guy is gay but that's a WHOLE different story. In fact it's already been told in the er... well January 2007 section or May 2007, either way somewhere down there.

Also oops... You go to jail for 5 years for filming someone without their knowledge. Oops... Damn there's me locked up for 10 years at least... Oh well as long as it's solitary and you can have music (and Internet) sounds ideal.

Anyway moving rapidly right along before someone takes in what was written up there: The Head Vet in England DIED so the internship got canceled... Poor guy, he was real nice too. Have to find somewhere else now. The problem is the peep who answer the phone never know whether they offer internships or not. Honestly throw me a frickin brain here! You WORK there! How can you NOT know?! ANYway found one in Gainsborough which is God knows where. Some dump probably, 30 minutes away from Doncaster. Great. Really... The one in Doncaster doesn't know and the one in Edenhorpe on Thorne Road was engaged. Yay, then we have one in Balby and Bentley and another one in Armthorpe.

Might go to England end of March. The prices are UBBER expensive tho and the one coming back on the 12th of April leaves at 05:20 AM!!! EVEN worse than the 06:30 AM one!!

Anyway it's getting late and nothing's happening so better sleep or do something similar.

What you doing on your birthday Rhubarb? Wanna do a webbie on or after it? You're gonna be SO old! Don't believe it!!! Legal adult (at least in Europe) age! Scary... See ya in June!

Now how about a poem? Yeah probably a bad idea. So over and out. Roger that? If you did: why are you still here or more importantly why am I still here? Bye and cya in cyberspace!

Peace.

2008-03-12T01:05:00.006+01:00

Hiya y'all! Bored outta my brain. I know what's coming... "What brain?" Yup that's what I'd like to know. Anyway how about a little video featuring... a ping pong ball?! Here it is! If you would like to know why someone would film a ping pong match this way you better ask head of direction, I'm just the uploader. Oh wait did I mention that the head of direction doesn't exist? Don't say that I didn't warn you that watching this video is a waste of time 'cos I just did! No honestly I did! Just back there! Anyway I actually don't own the rights to this video. Ha! I lied!!! In fact Rhubarb owns them, but since it's filmed here (in Switzerland) on "my" ping pong table partially featuring my voice I figured "hey it's as good as mine" and we're related too! Normally the cameraman/woman would own the rights but there isn't one! So what ya gonna do about it? Ha, I'm just the Best, baby! Well compared to a maggot at least and even there competition would be tough...

Filmed last year in June.

2008-03-07T13:30:00.007+01:00

Better update as it has been quite a while...

Yay for updates. OK first off: Rhubarb, you asked how that kewl lightening effect was achieved on that Scottish Man movie. WELL: filmed it with the Mac in-built iSight webcam via iMovie. Then added the effects including lightening and thunder clasp after. Who said Macs were crap? Oh yes it was YOU over there! Well... Say that again and there'll be deep deep Vista-in-pink trouble! No idea what that entails (can that word even be used in this context?), but probably either ninja kicking or something of the sort...
Went to England! It was sort of a month ago now, but never mind. So what happened? Er... Something no doubt. Went to the pub with grandparents, Mother, Mr Halstead and Mr Burke. We went to the Eagle and Child. Since it's got a new owner it's mighty ''suckerish'' IE it sucks. B's cod was frazzled and we had to wait for over an hour to be served.
Otherwise nothing much. Basically walking 'round Frenchgate with my ''J''. That security guard Gary AKA ''Franko'' who works there saw us go round like 10 times. There's also an Asian guy. I bet he's really good at Kung Fu!
Other than that? Oh yes, very important! Don't ever set fireworks off unless you want to be surrounded by people demanding where certain ''merchandise'' is. In other words if you hear a firework sounding in the dead of night, it means the drugs have landed. Why the moronic police don't try and trace them and arrest the whole lot is above me, but isn't always oh-so-much-simpler-to-just-pretend-not-to-know?
Also apparently Bawtry is really shady at night...
Anyway England is going to the dogs. Why anyone would move there is a mystery... Oh wait I'M moving there... Oh well who ever knows why I do anything? I don't even know half the time!
It's a month on and we still haven't had a webbie. Since we have VTX as a Iprovider Internet seems to be working better and is supposed to be faster... Oh? Compared to what? Dial-up?! At least it works, only now the bloody airport plays up. Great. So much for technological advances...
It is kind of scary how reliant we are on machines, electricity and Internet. We're so dependant on technology, that if it should ever fail, humanity (apart from some African/South American/Australian tribes) would be doomed! People would go mad from shear boredom and since they spend so much time using machines that their lives would be void. We didn't have Internet for 2 weeks. It wasn't actually that bad, it was just annoying 'cos you would think ''Oh I'll just check it on the Internet... Oh damn we don't have any!'' Dial-up takes bloody ages with its 45.5-46.5 kb/s. How people got anything done before wireless/broadband is a complete and utter mystery.
Anyway... What can be said except ''bloody uni computers''! You just want to do ctrl+alt+del to check CPU and these morons reprogrammed it so you can log out... Great. Must be in ctrl panel somewhere but I'm not looking for it.
Was this the 3rd weirdest post EVER? Yeah thought so. Anyway have fun now, good luck with anything and see you mid-June and you better stay longer!
Oh yeah forgot: got an unconditional offer from Sheffield for Zoology.
Oh YES and what's more: we really need to clean out the chalet as there is some weird growth starting to appear on the floor. Here is the evidence! Er... Well actually there isn't any as I didn't take any photos... So you'll just have to take my word for it!
Gawd I'm ugly today. I'd post a photo, but I'm afraid the Internet may crash... More on the chalet later.
Over and out.

Viagra component! I'm gonna exchange the Smints (TM) against Viagra if Fatso doesn't stop being annoying...

OH-HO! I just another brain-wave! Yes ANOTHER one actually, you'll remember the other one about taking over the world. I've had an idea for a Friday discussion topic. Not that today is Friday or that it is really worth discussing, but ANYWAY... So here it is: Do YOU believe in ghosts?

(TO BE CONTINUED AND SHALL REMAIN SO FOR A WHILE)

All I can say is: some scientist-type peep go to a haunted place and as soon as soon as something remotely scary happens, they flee. Er, People? Wasn't the whole point in your visit to find something supernatural? Anyway got a "pic" somewhere, but a) it's hand-drawn and b) dunno where it is...

2008-01-21T02:47:00.000+01:00

A little tryout. Sorry a bit of craziness. Yup I don't act my age. Haven't done since I was six. Don't plan on starting now...

Script:

Scottish Man: I want to get back at Pippi, but how? Hmmm... Got it! (To Pippi) Heya Pippi!
Pippi Longstockings: What?
Scottish Man: I luv you!
Pippi: What?
Scottish Man: I really really do like you!
Pippi: Really?
Scottish Man: Would I lie to you?
Pippi: Dunno.
Scottish Man: I'd rather be struck my lightning!
Narrator: That can be arranged! Hahaha...
Scottish Man: (Gets struck by lightning) Aaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!
Pippi: Well... I'm gonna go, so bye!

2008-01-19T03:50:00.000+01:00

Waking up screaming you (Rhubi) say? Done that too. Dunno how you can't wake yourself up going that... Remember when we used to sleep in the sun lounge in Donny? You screamed in your sleep. Bloody scared the living daylights out of me. Thought you were in agony, but you didn't wake up! You must of inherited that from your mother if it even is "inheritable". New trend now is to wake up soaking in sweat. Think I prefer the screaming...

Whoa you tell your mother where you go all the time? No secrets on that level? Hey kewl level is one of those words when you read it backwards it still means the same! Level leveL. Erm... Lost the thread there. I'm impressed! You're doing better than me and my sneaking around Donny. If I catch you doing the same you'll be in trouble. DEEP DEEP trouble.

Thx, it should be "irregrettable" as you said UNLESS the vet is like Altwegg that b@st@rd of a person. If that's the case I'm outta there quicker than you can say "six sticky sucker sticks". It's not easy... Don't even know what it means but suppose it depends whether you have a Dirty Mind or not. Anyway the head vet seems to be friendly. Emphasis on seems. Gonna see him in February.

Now to something completely different. Whilst in Geneva with A, we went past a shop that sells swords, sabres, knives and Middle Age-y items. Real swords... It only cost 257 Frs... There was one that looked like Gryffindor's. Even dreamt about it. I've always loved old things like that. Think I got a new (none-physical) addiction. Really want to buy that sword. Probably never will though and once enough time has passed it will be forgotten. It was really beautiful though. Gleaming silver and golden handle encrusted with red "gem stones". Long blade. Razor sharp. 50 CM long. Can't stop thinking about it. Oh well better concentrate on learning how to drive, education, getting a job, etc... before wasting money on such a useless item, but it is my prrreciousssssssss.

Yay for verbal abuse! Where would we be without it? It's so much worse than physical torture. One sharp word can cut so much deeper than any knife, one insult can wound much more than any punch. Oops got slightly carried away there. Anyhow it's one thing to be called names by "enemies" but why the schmuck do random people have to do it? If I wanted to be insulted I'd go and see Claire...

With Hell one can replace fires and demons with pointy tridents by being in a small room surrounded by people staring at you, their eyes burning into your flesh, those horrible judging eyes. Sartre was right. Hell is Others! People crowd you! They invade your personal space. Is it too much to ask for not being sat on in the bus? Seriously there's plenty of room at the other end of the bus but NOOOO they have to stand near you stepping on your foot in the process.

This is one random post, well guess they all are but this one in particular is REALLY weird. Can't keep focused either, but before I end it: Rhubi and Raspi: your father was here and there was a longish discussion about Granny. I still maintain that she does not have Altsheimers otherwise she would be much worse, however she does have Dementia. Whoa the beginning of this James Blunt song reminds me of the James Bond theme music. Oops soz. Back on topic: as long as Gramps doesn't accept the help of Social Services we can't do much. Your father was also talking about sending Josy over in an emergency and she could stay in your house at the top of the garden. Also Granny needs more stimulation. She's simply bored. We've been over that a 100 times already though, so don't know what more can be said about it. Going to see them in 19 days. So do you want anything from England?

Oh yeah, heard that F(a) wants to visit you. Hope he doesn't bring his 5 friends like he did when he came here (and you abandoned me!!! How could you??) or else you will be snored out! Scary he asked me whether I wanted to marry M(o) (my other 2nd cousin and F(a)'s 1st cousin) after the funeral. Luckily someone interrupted because the honest answer would have been as "sensitive as a blunt ax" to quote Nearly Headless Nick. Scary F(a)'s sister's name starts with M(a) and their cousins' initials are F(r) and M(o) as well...

Sorry dunno what I'm saying so see ya for a webbie on the Tue 5th, Wed 6th or Thu 7th of Feb? How does that sound? Leaving for the UK on that Thursday, but the flight doesn't leave 'til 21:25 local time. Anyway revise well, have fun and cya around sometime.

Time to update again! It's never been as irregular as this! Anyway, what's new? Er... Why am I asking YOU? Nothing much. Uni only starts on the 28th with a Maths exam. Then nothing until the 1st followed by Bio on the 5th. Usually should be going to England on the 7th UNLESS Nottingham bothers to tell me I have an interview.

Not heard anything, except from Bristol and they kept saying "you must be so disappointed" in every line of the rejection letter. WELL not really but if you don't shut up you will be! They also wrote "the reason for the rejection cannot be discussed at this point". So yay for that. London also rejected me, but they didn't send anything. Nottingham, Liverpool and Sheffield haven't responded. Apparently Nottingham is notorious for not answering and L and S are both difficult to get into, so yay again. It just keeps getting better! I thought S is a dump, no one will want to go there! WRONG!

The only good thing that I'm going to do a 6 week (unless I piss every one off) internship at a Vet's in Doncaster. He said I could visit when I go over in February.

Looked into Translation in Geneva. Looks about as fascinating as peeling a banana, but as Biology is defo not my thing, so we're or rather I am looking into other possibilities.

So L: How did your first exam go?
P: What were you saying about me meeting Greg? Is he being an ass?

Oh yeah found out that Schmusie weighs 3.9 KG. She's as fluffy as ever! Not to mention naughty! She's really playful. I had a really scary dream involving her.

The dream started off with me having to look after some kids as part of my Vet training. They stepped outside to go home and disappeared into thin air and I thought "damn there goes my career in child care!" Next thing I find Schmusie covered in blood with a long gash down her side and you could see her bowels. I was panicking and went to see the next door neighbour and wanted him to take me to the Vet's as I couldn't drive and didn't know the number for emergency for animals. The Neighbour just said: "Oh it's not that bad and I saw the kids go in that direction. They got home safe..." Erm, well no she only had her side SLICED open, but that's nothing too serious... Anyway somehow got to the vet's and he stitched her back up. That was seriously scary! Luckily she's OK.

That's it for today.

Better update... My father's uncle died, so we have to go to Germany and since the funeral is on Friday we have to leave tomorrow. We'll be back by Sunday though.
Gonna miss Physics and Bio on Friday, but seeing as it's only revision I won't actually miss anything as such.
I'll be taking the Mac, but I don't know what my Father's Cousin's Internet connection is like, so we'll have to see and I won't be able to be on that much anyway; it would be kind of rude...

Put a card in the Christmas card for both of you; you both get your own letter. Lucky you, eh?

Bought Shrek 3. I'm in a silly mood as you'll see from the letters.

Might go to England sometime in January. Any requests? I'm already going to be on the search for a postcard of Donny for D. Want anything? Sparkly pens? Cheap DVDs? CDs? Stationary? Books? Chocolate? Anything?
Since we're on the England topic: when will we be seeing you? Will you come in June or only after the house business is finished? Any plans yet? I finish in May, but have exams in June. Don't know timetable yet, so it could be good like all the exams at the beginning or bad such as all the exams at the end.

May do another update tomorrow.

Whoa haven't updated for AGES!! What to say though? Hmmmm... Guess I'll tell you about the Silver Wedding party then:

It took place in the Château de Coppet and 93 people attended. Some were from church others were from IATA or CERN. I was on a table with Nathalie (right), Marisa (left, my father's cousin's daughter) and Fabian (Marisa's brother), Christian and Patrizia (she's my father's cousin's daughter or something) and Steve and Nicky Hancock, who are completely unrelated! I introduced them to Peter (your and my mother's cousin; at the very right) and Ruth (2nd from the left). I love annoying Peter!!! It's so much fun!
We had 5 courses, but they were tiny... For starters there was a Lobster salad, then a (dunno the name but it resembled pumpkin) soup, later lamb and to finish different ways of preparing mango on one plate. Didn't take any photos unfortunately... As the grand finale the wedding cake was served, with sparklers! Then there was the symbolic cake cutting as it had already been cut by the waiters... This is the only picture of the cut up cake:

Now this is for you Lucie, because I know you love masks so much: these are the 2 singers dressed up as Venetian singers. They entertained us whilst the main course was being prepared.
Here's your mother belly dancing: later Jamila (spelling?) Bernd's current girlfriend joined.
Here's my mother's family: well, minus your father. Ah, here he is!

Pumpkin: drawn.
Bats: "stolen" from PowerPoint. The circle = moon: drawn.
Paw print: drawn. New signature or rather didn't have one before, so just signature.

2007-10-28T01:17:00.001+02:00

OK, Lucie for your benefit here's the pixalation with commentary!

700 posts! This one is about England!

Went to England for 6 days. 4 of those were uni days. Went to The Outlet and Meadowhall. On Sunday had the customary lunch at the Golf Club.

Bessacarr Golf Club. Looks warm but it wasn't.

Went to York on Tuesday. Takes 20 - 30 minutes by train from Donny. No idea what this river is called...

Ruin thingy in York. They're famous, but I once again don't know their name...

The squirrels weren't at all scared. Quite on the contrary.

Awww.

Eating a crumb.

Ah the Willow Tree and Rockery. Miss it already. :-(

The chalet has been re-roofed.

The bad thing though about Granny and Grandpa's house in winter is that it's bloody cold. The living room and kitchen are warm enough, but since there is no radiator in the bathroom it's not too practical for taking baths.

Hmmm, love this pic.

Had a mission in England: find shot glasses with Donny on them for S. So went to the Doncaster Tourist Information Centre and they said they didn't make them anymore, but that they could be ordered. Too bad it would take 2 - 3 weeks though. If I hadn't been such an airhead I would have remembered that your mother could have picked them up for me... So they sent me to the Doncaster Press thingy, but they said I should go to the Tourist information Centre. Needless to say that I didn't find any. Bought some in York.

2007-10-11T11:17:00.000+02:00

LONG LONG LONG LONG time no update... Anyway, what can I say? Hmmm... Not a lot really.

Schmusie's adopted us as her sleeping quarters. She's spending more and more time in our humble abode.

The PC's Hard Disc died and the last back-up was done in March. Turned out the one in June didn't work... Had to reinstall the whole Windows XP OS + Drives system on it again. Took about 3 days, well not FULL days, maybe 3-6 hours a day. A few photos and films are gone, but luckily most stuff was on the Mac... At least now there are 2 HDs in the PC. A master and a slave, so can do internal back-ups onto the slave, which is 160 GB. The Master is 250. Next time gonna buy a desktop Mac, which can have both OSs oh it! Should be better! Anyhow, got SP2, but hate how it regroups the stuff in the Start menu! It's annoying! Can't it leave the er... tab thingies separated?? Also got stupid microcrash now, which means it regularly restarts the comp. It does ask you, but you've only got 5 min to say "Restart Later" and if you miss it, you come back to find your computer restarting and the stuff you were working on ERADICATED!!! So much for newer stuff being BETTER. I beg to differ. With Bill Gates things go from bad to worse... Someone should sue Bill Gates!!

Nothing like a 41 hour day (yes day) to really loose track ot time! Couldn't sleep yesterday eirther, so to re-cap: 0+7+2= 9; 9/3=3 hours of sleep a night in average. It's "nutifying". Gonna go 100% mental. Not far off it, should be about 90% crazy now.

Going to England next week on Thursday!!! So yay for that. Gonna miss some uni though, but oh well. Not as though I hadn't done it before anyway... It's only 7 days, 2 of which are weekend and the day we leave I'm going, so in fact only miss 4 days. Too bad Robin Hood airport is't open yet, it's like 7 min from grandparents house! Lucie, how did you come up with and I quote in Pig Latin: "Iway bid4ay otay eesay htattay andomray uygay"? Check the Picasa/Hello Chat if you forgot. You don't need to worry 'bout me

Thought this was a Maths lesson! It's more like Ancient Runes! This guy's explanations are worse than Baldrick's cunning plans!!!

"Spend any amount of time around people, you get your heart broken. Treachery, hypocrisy, promise of love. Look into the mouth of a person and you’ll find lies, wriggling there like maggots waiting to grow wings." Quote from one of the "murderers" (turned out it wasn't him who committed the crimes; he was only covering for someone who was never found; he shot himself in the end) from CSI: Las Vegas. Too right! But what is life without a little pain? A Utopia probably!

Oh yeah, no idea what "hoe" in that post below means, so I replaced it by "foot". Must have been automatic writing.

Probably one of the wort things that can happen to a person is unrequited love. The problem is that these days the word "love" is thrown around like a foot ball. How do you put meaning into phrases and words, which are used so lightly, frequently and sound so corny?
"I would rather die tomorrow, than live a 100 years without knowing you." John Smith to Pocahontas from the Disney film. That's what you say now, matey! Just you wait 'til you are betrayed by love. Then you'll wish you hadn't "never known what it is like to love" to quote Elton John.

2007-09-14T04:26:00.000+02:00

OMG, that is all I can say. Ya remember Anne-Marie from All Dogs Go To Heaven? Well the girl who voiced her was murdered by her father when she was 10 years old along with her mother! Can you believe it? Her father seems to be of the calibre as Herman and if S doesn't push it H might do the same as that guy. If he does, the killing spree WILL start, 'cos the justice system in this country sucks and you get what? 5 years for murder MAX. For that it's worth killing off all your enemies. 15 years, 7,5 for good behaviour.
Honestly, what does the state do to protect women, who try to leave abusive husbands? Absolutely nothing! The police intervene once something has happened. Great deal of good that does! Lazy B@st@rds! Too much paperwork, too much man-power required, guess it's better that a few people die than to spend money! What kind of mentality is that where money is more important than a human life?
Humans disgust me. Is all this killing really necessary? Usually species try to CONSERVE their individuals (at least the best ones) not kill each other off. I still say the best thing that can happen is that an asteroid hits us, Yellowstone erupts or Bush accidentally gives order to drop atom bombs on every single country (including USA). We are all HUMAN and though we might not be the same deep down we are equal. How can there be people out there willing to kill others AND themselves? I hope they realize that death's an end and that there are no 50 virgins waiting for them... If they want to commit suicide, can't they throw themselves in front of a train? Actually they probably should be shot since they want to die anyway.
There really is NO limit to human stupidity. Go on, destroy the world then! It's not like it's in very good shape now anyway. Humans are an aberration of evolution. How they could come to be as greedy and immoral they are is a complete mystery. Destroying everything in heir path for power. Mammoths: first mass-extinction helped along by humans; Neanderthals: probably killed them although there's no proof; Dodos, Tasmanian Devils, etc: modern victims. Honestly seems like "take what you can, give nothing back" is the new motto theses days.
Uh oh that was kinda random and to some extent contradictory, but too bad. If humans had any decency they would help their process of extinction along 'cos if we're around for much longer by the time we finally are gone, this planet won't even be worth recycling!
Also, what's all this sh!t about there being no evolution? Are the Americas try to make the new generation even MORE stupid? OK, listen up morons (scientists + intelligent peep (minus Bill Gates) excluded): IF Dinosaurs and humans had existed at the same time, we wouldn't have reached this point (which would have been a good thing)! Oh, you thought the Flintstones were real? Well sorry to bu(r)st your bubble, but dinosaurs were reptiles with a worse temper than a cobra, aggravated alligator or hippo with a hernia; you can't tame them and even if you could the T-Rex would still rip you limb from limb, just look what happened in Jurassic Parc! Also there is PROOF: look there are layers in the crust of the earth, right? The deeper the layers, the older they are. Homo (Sapiens) Sapiens are what? Several ten/ hundred thousand years old. Dinosaurs several Million. When you look at a layer, which is several million years old, there are NO human remains to be found. So what does that mean? That humans were immortal in those days? No, it means there WEREN'T any! Seems that this would make sense to a brain-dead fly. Well either that or humans had no bones and just sort of floated around...
Also, we did NOT descend from Apes, were merely share a common ancestor, the missing link. There was one common ancestor between chimpanzees and us and since you people are so obsessed with everything including the clothes you wear being genetic, we share 99.99% of your genes with Chimpanzees and if you're going to deny this then you should be refused medical treatment.
Moving on: If there is no evolution you should still be a single-celled organism therefore, you will not require any electric devices, housing, clothes, partners or Oxygen so back to nature you shall go and in fact everybody apart from you have the missing link as an ancestor. YOUR direct ancestors were probably some mutated brain-damaged Amoeba!
I'd rather have Chimpanzees, Gorillas, Bonobos and Oran Utans as relatives than Bin Laden, Bush or Hitler!
Also, the earth is probably flat and at the centre of the universe? Why don't you burn all the scientists? Why don't you fuse church and state again? The technical advances made during the Middle Ages were just grand! Name me one good reason why you should profit from scientific advances when you don't believe in something as basic as evolution? If you don't evolve, die then! You only have two choices: evolve or die. Seems like you only have one. You just dug your own grave, it's time to lie in it now!
Not believing in evolution is just like saying aliens put us here, which is also ridiculous. Possible that an comet fell to earth containing bacteria/life, other than that don't see many posses...
Anyway, true you probably remained in vegetative state of a Plasmodium (in case you even know what that is?!) so in your case there was NO evolution to be seen!

What do you mean "all guys are like that. Deep down.", my dear Rhubi? No, you forgot a VERY important detail: They are like that ON the surface. Also, "they'll get better when they get older". Oh yeah?! I should think not! What a lie or very optimistic point of view!

Anyhow after all the strains of the day settle down for an utterly useless discussion about the definitions of "be right back", "be back later" and "be back soon".

Obviously "right" indicates that the person will be back without delay, so within 0-10 minutes. Then the real discussion is about the words later and soon. Which one comes first? What do they imply? Later: does it mean within the same day? You say see you soon or VERY soon, which would mean that it's further in time than later.
So to conclude, probably soon over-laps with later, but then goes further, so:

Right: 0-10 min
later: 3-24 hrs
soon: 1 hr-3/6 months

Wasn't that wonderful? Well I thought so... No actually I didn't!

OK, now for a video of Schmusie in a box of toys!

2007-08-16T23:29:00.000+02:00

OK, one convo we had on the beach of Nyon was SO funny. We were talking 'bout CSI Las Vegas. In one of the episodes a guy dies 'cos he's been infected by a fungus so Greg and Sara had to strip and were showered by the bio-hazard troupe. Of course they were hidden from the camera and so with from us. First funny comment from N: "Aww, what a shame!". Then Greg says later on to Sara: "I just wanted you to know that I didn't see anything back there." and she answers: "Really? I saw everything." Nothing, (too) funny about that, now for the addition we made: he should have said: "Well? What did you think?" Hehe, now that would have been funny! Really ETMI! Well it would have been if she had answered!

Welcome to a sort of Friday Discussion Topic, except that it's not Friday and it's not really a discussion... Anyway, here we go!

Do we always have a choice in everything we do? Oh wow, another YES or NO situation...

NO: We don't have a choice about being born.
YES: Maybe not, but we can choose to end it.

NO: We can't choose our family.
YES: No, but we can choose to turn our backs on them and live with our friends or to make the best with them.

NO: We can't choose our gender.
YES: We can choose to change it with a sex change.

NO: We can't choose our name.
YES: We can choose to change it.

NO: We can't choose what social class we are born into.
YES: Through hard work, effort and a strong will, we can escape it.

NO: We can't choose our ethnicity.
YES: With the help of an operation, almost all traits of all ethnicities can be eradicated.

NO: Kids can't choose whether they go to school or not ("developed" countries).
YES: They can choose not to go.

NO: Slaves couldn't choose to be free.
YES: They could run away and face the consequences (death).

NO: We can't choose not to die.
YES: Perhaps not, but we can make the best with what we were given and live healthily.

NO: We can't choose the weather.
YES: We can choose to accept that.

NO: We can't choose the life we live.
YES: Through (right) choices, we can live it properly.

You see, we always have a choice even if it leads to our destruction and precipitated death. Even a slave could decide to be free, although his escape may provoke his death. The next question is: Is there a destiny? (OK, this has already been discussed, but oh well...)

If there is, then in fact the choices we DO have, aren't open to take. For example, say you have a job interview. You cannot choose to be picked as an employee, but you can choose not to go. If it's destiny for you to get that job, then you shall be picked. That means the choice of not going to the interview could NOT be taken by you.

Here's an image for a better comprehension:

So basically, the corridor is our life path and the rooms are events. With destiny, the path is chosen, so the rooms all remain locked. The \\ means it cannot be accessed, because it is not our destiny. We have no choices. All the choices we think we have such as "to wear these trousers or this skirt" are in fact not real choices. You might think you chose to wear it, but in fact the trousers had no real chance anyway.

Without destiny:

Here we have many different paths, everything is possible. The Main Event can be reached or not.

Then we have half-destiny. Won't do a pic for this. Some things are destiny, but the way we choose to take to get there is up to us.

If you think about it: every time you meet someone you change their destiny. Well, unless it was destiny to meet them in the first place... Our actions affect people in one way or another, whether it is beneficial or not.

Is there always a good and bad path? For instance: say you just leave your school stuff in the middle of the passage, someone slips on it, breaks their neck, you feel guilty, you commit suicide and lure your family on to destruction and the GOOD path would be: you tidy up and everyone lives happily ever after? Can the consequences of a seemingly good path be worse? Is it even possible to take another path? What does destiny care what colour your socks are?
If anything, I'd say there is a kind of half-destiny: we are destined to be born, it is destiny to meet the people we know, to go certain places, to have children or not, to get married and to die. You see, we have choices and destiny is just a wall, which we can hide our uncertainties and fear behind. We just have to make decisions and even if it turns out we didn't have a choice, what does it matter? Then it's destiny and we can do nothing about it!
Destiny seems like a great way to suppress people: "Oh well, it's destiny that you live in the gutter and I have mounds of gold. Live with it!"
Enough of that! Now comment, you have a choice or maybe even destiny!

Extract from http://fengshuidesign.lifetips.com/cat/54895/chinese-astrology/index.html about Chinese Animal Years.

"The characteristics of the Cat or Rabbit

People born in the year of the Rabbit or Cat tend to be exceptionally sensitive and unusually alert. They exhibit a high degree of intelligence combined with refreshing honesty. Their minds move with great speed. This enables them to complete a wide range of varied tasks in a surprisingly short time. Their speed and acumen is highly prized in the world of mathematics and accountancy. Their feelings also change as rapidly as unstable weather. They flit back and forth between happiness and sadness. Rabbits/Cats don´t like to waste time and often don´t understand why others are not as quick witted as they are. Others can get easily provoked by this especially if they consider the Rabbits/Cats impatience to be arrogant disdain. In any given situation the Rabbit/Cat will have an acute awareness of it´s environment and there can be no greater asset in a team." End of quote.

Now for a bit of info about Scorpios (born October 22 to November 22) from http://www.astrology-online.com/scorpio.htm :

" Traditional Scorpio Traits:
Determined and forceful
Emotional and intuitive
Powerful and passionate
Exciting and magnetic

On the dark side:
Jealous and resentful
Compulsive and obsessive
Secretive and obstinate" End of quote.

Whoa, this is once again quite accurate. Scorpios are said to be introverted and quiet. Dunno about compulsive, suffocating might be more accurate. Resentful: possibly. Jealous: maybe. Obsessive? Perhaps. Secretive: defo. The Cat thing is quite true as well. I am more of a Cat than a Rabbit, although it's exactly the same. It's just that some Asian cultures replace Rabbit with Cat. Dunno about "high degree of Intelligence" though. Einstein, Peter Falk (Inspector Columbo), Drew Barrymore, Stalin, Marie Curie and others might be considered intelligent (well maybe not Stalin or Fidel Castro), but anyway. As much as I hate to quote Britney Spears, but: "I'm a fool in so many ways."
Well wasn't this fascinating? Next up: "Do we always have a choice?"

Went to the fête de Genève on Saturday by sail boat. On Capicou of course.
It was great, except that it was rather cold and quite rocky, not to mention at some point it smelled of Weed. You're not even safe out there! It was loud as well. OK, this is a film, but you can see the magnitude of the fireworks. Several million Francs down the drain. Beautiful, but very expensive.
We arrived home at about 1:30 AM and N stayed the night. We stayed up 'til about 4:30 AM, just talkin' 'bout various things (no TMI [Too Much Information] at this point). Then the next day we went to see S, who was working down at the plage de Nyon. Her reaction was hilarious when she saw N: "WTF, happened to you?!" That was SO funny! She used to call him "The Kid" (worthy of one of my nickname creations), of course that is now impossible, since he is "of age".
That is SO incredibly emo, it's incredible! The convo at this stage was rather TMI, especially what happened to his friend at the boarding school. It involved, well TMI off course, but also certain "acts" and being caught "near the middle to end". Well that was on the way TO here actually. Let's see the discussions here were how to put it TM (too much). Oops, nearly wrote something qualified as VWI (very weird information) here, but at least it was not TMI! Also S said something well ya know ETMI (EXTREMELY too much information), so it can't be put on here.

Haha! Lucie upon her noble bike. Well, my mother's noble bike. Lookin' a little blue, ain't ya?

Mwhaha! Paparazzi, ain't I? Oh well, waiter down at the port. Forgot his name, but it wouldn't be appropriate to post it on here anyway.

Now we shall do another song analysis. "Welcome to my life" by Simple Plan. It's not the best song ever written (obviously and luckily). The tune is simple, but this is SIMPLE Plan, so what can be expected? The lyrics are not THAT great and the voices can't be described as good. The message is somewhat provocative. Only millions of people feel like the singer, that could qualify as "nobody"... The lyrics are in green and the commentary is in yellow.

"Welcome To My Life"

Do you ever feel like breaking down?
Who doesn't these days?
Do you ever feel out of place?
Is "yes" an accurate answer?
Like somehow you just don't belong
Where's the syntax in that?
And no one understands you
The way you write no wonder no one understands you.
Do you ever wanna run away?
Yerp, defo.
Do you lock yourself in your room?
Nope, although that could be an idea; hate it when people come barging in.
With the radio on turned up so loud
Nope, have all the songs on the Mac and a little less on the PC.
That no one hears you screaming
No, actually the music is to block out the NEIGHBOURS' screaming.

No you don't know what it's like
When nothing feels all right
You don't know what it's like
To be like me
Luckily, we don't all want to be as idiotic as you!

To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like
Welcome to my life
That's nearly all correct except for the "you don't know what it's like" part.

Do you wanna be somebody else?
Not really. Where's the point in living someone else's life, when it's worse than yours?
Are you sick of feeling so left out?
Relatively; mostly I want to be left alone though.
Are you desperate to find something more?
There's more?! Wow, who knew?
Before your life is over
Obviously! It's a little late when it's over...
Are you stuck inside a world you hate?
Most days.
Are you sick of everyone around?
The neighbours can become VERY annoying.
With their big fake smiles and stupid lies
Don't get much of that.
While deep inside you're bleeding
Quite.

No you don't know what it's like
Yes, we do!
When nothing feels all right
You don't know what it's like
To be like me
What can be said about this?

To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like
Welcome to my life
Thanks for the welcome, but no thanks.

No one ever lied straight to your face
Actually they have...
And no one ever stabbed you in the back
They've also done this...
You might think I'm happy but I'm not gonna be okay
What are we supposed to do about this?
Everybody always gave you what you wanted
Hardly.
You never had to work it was always there
That's what you think.
You don't know what it's like, what it's like
Oh, shut up!

To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like (what it's like)
I'm surprised you don't drown in all your self-pity!

To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like
Welcome to my life
Welcome to my life
Welcome to my life
OKAY, finally he shut up. It was startin' to get repetitive.

WARNING!!! THIS POST CONTAINS INFO ABOUT HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS.
IF YOU DON'T WANT IT SPOILED LEAVE
NOW AND DON'T BLAME ME IF
YOU DON'T AND COMPLAIN
'COS YOU WERE
WARNED!

Finally finished reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Some of you might say: "What a load of old rubbish. Who reads sh!t like that?" like Grandpa does or perhaps even claim it's evil because it talks about witchcraft and wizardry like the Catholics (not all, this is a generalization). The new pope redeemed himself slightly when he said that Harry Potter wasn't that bad after all, since some of the main themes are friendship, loyalty and good vs evil. He was on such a good path that I thought that he would apologize for what the Catholic church did to all those who maintained the earth were round. Of course he quickly assumed his prior "form" when he proclaimed that abortion should be made illegal. What people forget is, is that the witchcraft is not important. It's a façade. Voldemort's ideas are like Hitlers: both wanted something they did not have; Hitler: a pure, intelligent, beautiful race. He himself did not correspond to his own ideal of tall, blond and blue-eyed. He was also part-Jewish. Furthermore he was not even German, but Austrian AND possibly infertile! Voldemort: Pure race. He was a Half-Blood. In fact both wanted something more: Hitler wanted a race to dominate all (so basically world-domination) and Voldemort wanted immortality. Both had an army to do their bidding. Hitler: SS (Schutzstaffel) and Nazis; Voldemort: Death Eaters and SS who in this case is ONE person. It would have been difficult to explain Harry's survival and Voldemort's destruction without introducing magic. Harry could have been Jewish and Hitler came to kill him, but how would his mother's sacrifice have saved him in real life? If Hitler had tried to shoot him and the bullet somehow missed Harry and rebounded on him, he would have been killed or gravely injured. People have to see past the magic and look at the messages the book gives: love thy neighbour, fight for what you believe in, have faith, friendship, trust, good vs evil, etc... It was intended to be a children's book and can hardly qualify as a fairy story since there are only about two mentions of fairies in the whole book. There are however dragons, elves, giants, Kneazles and other fictional figures. Even though the book may lack the quality and writing style of the great authors it is however binding and JKR deserves a lot of credit because she achieved all her fame through the power of imagination and creativity. Also her book is one of the rare ones, in which the characters grow and change. That is very rare in children's books such as the "Famous Five" or "Secret Seven" the characters remain immortally young. Also she killed some of her characters off, which gives the story realism. Her characters aren't fully good or bad, which gives them more depth.

Some of the theories about Snape and Harry were true: Harry WAS a Horcrux and he marries Ginny (and doesn't die) and Snape DID love Lily and was kinda good.
I must say I was skeptical about Harry being a Horcrux, because I didn't know how he could destroy himself and that would mean that he would have to die and that JKR would never dare kill Harry unless she was suicidal.
Snape: I was a big supporter of that theory and there were many clues: for one his worst memory wasn't THAT bad. Shouldn't his worst have been his first murder? Betraying the Potters? Living with his parents? I mean sure he was humiliated in front of the some class mates, but there is worse than that. Lily was there and tried to defend him and he insulted her rather badly and she was very offended. The reason for which he hated Harry so much was because: he looked like his father, but had his mother's eyes. It must have been hell seeing someone who resembled a person he loathed profoundly and looking into those eyes, which were not unlike the ones he had looked into so many times and would nevermore look into again. He blamed Harry for Lily's death. He couldn't look past the physical appearance and so with couldn't let go of his hatred.
The theory that Snape killed Dumbledore on the latter's orders is also true. The look of "hatred and revulsion that were etched into the harsh lines of his face" were indeed self-hatred and self-revulsion as we had previously seen on Harry's face as he was forcing Dumbledore to drink that green jelly. Someone watching would not know whether he hated Dumblie or himself and since the reader sees everything from Harry's point of view and we were made to believe that Snape was bad, we were led to believe that he really did hate Dumblie. He would never plead for his life, that is below Dumblie; he was asking Snape to kill him as he had promised. Of course he was not ENTIRELY good, but nobody is. Look at Sirius. Saying that one has to let go of hatred and such, but he himself did nothing of the sort.
She killed Snape off, but he did deserve it.
The bit were Harry goes to a kind of heaven (he's naked in the beginning, that's probably why Dan R took on that role on stage [where he was naked]; he was practicing :-P for this scene) is slightly weird. Lupin and Tonk's death is sad. Their son will have to be raised by his grandmother like Neville was. Talking of Neville: wonder who he married. Luna? Lavender? Maybe Dean married Luna. What happened to Neville's grandmother? Did she make it? What happened to Trelawny? I still would like to know whether the predictions Trelawny made about Hermione leaving and Lavender's rabbit dying were luck or whether she actually predicted them. What other things apart from food can't you magic? Probably money and housing. Something to drink (unless that goes in the same category as food) and possibly a spouse, love, friendship and such; you'd need a potion or whatever. What happened to Fleur and Bill? Do they have kids? It would be nice to know what happened to the other characters. Did Ron, Hermione and Harry finish their education? If so, what jobs do they have now? Could Harry have become and auror or are they no longer needed? Where does HP live? London? Godrick's Hollow? How was Hogwarts re-built?
The story was good, but relatively long and sort of repetitive especially about how they were stuck, hungry, lost and Harry's feelings towards Ginny etc... The ending was good and the story really did play in the past, which means the film makers slightly screwed up, 'cos it plays in the early '90s, so they should have used more of a '90 style haircut and cars etc... Oh well. Sad it's finished, but it ended well. What do y'all think?

2007-07-27T17:12:00.000+02:00

OK, What in tarnation can I say? "Anticipation", "thinking ahead", an ability only humans possess some say. How far does this go though? If each time one has to think of the worst possible ending of a situation, which is failure -or death, which might turn out to not be so bad after all- then why would one start anything at all? If you're going to fail anyway, then why do it? It would be much easier to do something else, but oh wait I forgot, you're going to fail that as well! I mean, I should have inscribed into Translation, a course which requires an entrance exam, because I should have known I would not pass the exams I hadn't even done yet? So, I should have anticipated a catastrophic failure and inscribed into Translation, which I will no doubt fail as well, so I should go into languages, but since that will also come to nothing what the heck am I supposed to do? It's too late to inscribe into anything now, but somehow everyone quietly agrees that I haven't got into Bern. Isn't having a supportive family nice? The results haven't even come through yet, although admittedly the chances of having got in are pretty slim.
That's the end of that. I see my cousins are arriving. This is a rant, don't take it too seriously.

2007-07-23T16:10:00.000+02:00

I can only say ONE thing: ewwwwwwwww. CSI Las Vegas. They were talkin' bout sex change operations and well no I won't quote, but what I don't get is why does a guy who had a sex change needs pads? Anyway... Funny quote from some woman from the crime lab: "I heard this story about a guy who had a sex change because he was obsessed with this lesbian who was really a man! (Awkward silence) Over-shared..." Oh, right "faking it". I'm referring to the text written in yellow. "It's like the Guiterman poem: Amoebas at the start were not complex; But then they tore themselves apart and started sex."

2007-07-16T02:01:00.001+02:00

The new LCD TV, the HDD/DVD player/writer and tape recorder. Pretty, eh?

2007-07-15T02:38:00.000+02:00

England. England! What can be said about England? It's an over-populated (mostly by morons or Peasants as Grandpa and most of the Hancocks would say) island with terrible weather (even worse this year than previous years) made worse by global warming and pollution. It seems as though the UK were situated under a permanent Low Pressure area.
Doncaster: city with mostly shady areas and some nice countryside.
Bessacarr: a mostly none-shady part of Doncaster, but it depends were you go...
Warning to anyone who wants to visit Donny (at night): don't turn right down Thorne Road and whatever you do, don't go down Market Road!!! Don't park in Christ Church Road at night unless you want unsolicited "passengers". Stay away from the dodgy area behind the market.
What is there to do in Donny: Visit The Dome, there's a swimming pool in it (if I remember correctly), sometimes stage productions / concerts and possibly a cinema. There's a paintball place, archery, rock climbing (in The Dome) and how the heck should I know?! Look under http://www.visitdoncaster.co.uk/ or something!

The trip back: took quite some time. Left at 03:05 AM and arrived here at 18:32, so 14 hrs 27 (because it's an hour later here, so you loose 1 hr when you take the ferry from the UK to France.) Stopped about 5 times. The traffic was OK, so basically just sailed through.
Had a series of bizarre dreams: Dreamt that Dit (ex-youth worker) and some other people from church were going to go on a boat trip on the Camargue. Anyway D had decided to take his "new" girlfriend, instead of Ted (guy who goes to church, organizes stuff for kids including the boat trip and well erm... can be a bit... sarcastic in real life as well as in the dream). That broke Ted's heart and everyone was going on about how bad D had behaved. It was quite funny actually... Well at least sort of. Can't really remember the others. They were too weird and I was woken before I could "fixate" them ie go through them again as to remember them later.

For Rhubarb + Raspberry: It was annoying that we only spend two bloody days together! You better have had a blast in Portsmouth! 'Cos it was no walk in the park being in Bessacarr. You didn't see the new LCD TV or the HD/DVD reader/writer so I'll post the photo once I've got them on here from the camera. It was a screwed up summer (in fact year). It was cold, raining, areas were flooded, Grandpa still won't accept Social Services in from a private company called "Poppies". Granny in the mean time still goes and takes stuff surreptitiously out of the pantry.
Anyway went out with Peter, Ruth and Ben the last day. It was good, but really LOUD and crowded.

Home: found 3 dead bats in the house. One was on the stairs, one in the bath and the last one was attached to the curtains. In fact I found another one by the fireplace, but haven't buried it yet. So in fact there were FOUR dead bats in here. How the heck they got in here, is anyone's guess... The fireplace is sealed, so no they didn't come from there. It's bloody hot here. Supposed to turn bad Tuesday though...

Nice meeting you and maybe slightly better timing would help.

2007-07-07T03:19:00.000+02:00

ENGLAND, HERE WE COME!!!

2007-07-02T23:40:00.000+02:00

OMG, was reading the word "carbs" and some person from "Waking the dead" said Something Carb!

2007-06-29T18:26:00.000+02:00

Hey y'all, welcome to the Friday rubric. kind of brain-dead so it will be rather short.

Firstly: what is this game vvvv
called in English? Yup, that's our beloved TV. Well at least it works. More or less...
Secondly: Would you ever resort to violence to get your point across?

We'll leave it at that. Told you it would be pathetic!

2007-06-23T23:55:00.001+02:00

Wow, 666 posts! SCARY, well this is the 667th. Anyway, didn't do a Friday rubric discussion yesterday, so we'll do it today. What could the topic be though? Hmmm, oh well guess we'll take a break for a week or so. Here, we'll leave you with this wonderful picture, which you can reflect on.

"Things are never what they appear to be..."

2007-06-21T13:23:00.001+02:00

Hmmm, let's see. Maths exam tomorrow, so with an ominous feeling of being utterly screwed and having no chance whatsoever to NOT fail it let's do something CRAZY!!! Well, to rephrase that, let ME do something crazy!
All I can say is that: Mel Brooks is gonna have the privilege of kissing his butt goodbye if he doesn't make part 2 of "History of the World" AND "Robin Hood: Men in Tights". Anyone got his number? Joke.
Also: who do you have to sue around here to meet someone famous? Yes, SUE. Bill Gates would do fine. Sue Bill Gates for causing so much annoyance, frustration and suicide wishes from people who use his useless, mass-produced, non-stop crashing, made by idiots for idiots, trashy software/hardware!!! Well either him or pour coffee over yourself and sue McDonald's or maybe take Burger King this time. Can't always blame EVERYTHING on Bill Gates and McDonald's!
That wasn't too crazy.

2007-06-21T11:43:00.000+02:00

List of the Weirdest songs EVER:

Still open. That means there isn't one yet. There is always room for a WEIRDER song. Possibly it hasn't been written/sung yet.
"Je t'aime".
Different orgasm song, dunno the name.
"Kiss me where it smells funny".
"Horny".
"Weenie in a bottle".

That's it! Any other propositions? See y'all tomorrow!

2007-06-19T12:10:00.001+02:00

Crans-près-Céligny "crest".

2007-06-18T11:51:00.000+02:00

Okay, well the Wisdom tooth is gone. Now the pain and possibly swelling will set in. Won't stop bleeding, stupid thing! Oh well...
5 days 'till you arrive!!!!!!
Dunno what else to say...

2007-06-15T15:30:00.000+02:00

Kinda "parody". Dunno what of, but never mind. The Weirdo is one of those people who hang around market places proclaiming their knowledge:

Weirdo: Now, the question YOU have to ask yourselves is: Do your needs control you or do you control your needs? It's all about CONTROL! Don't EVER let anyone tell you anything else!
Passer-by: *Walks by*
Weirdo: Hmmm, that guy looks needy.
Passer-by: I heard that!
Weirdo: Now, tell me do your needs control you?
P-b: I have no time for this.
W: That's what I thought! Come on! Show those needs who's boss!
P-b: No, you don't understand. I need to be somewhere!
W: "Need", eh? Learn to control them!
P-b: Please, move out of my way!
W: Not until you've gained self-control.
P-b: I REALLY don't have time for this. I have somewhere to be!
W: Hmmm, you're a hard case. Got an urgent appointment?
P-b: YES! So, if you would awfully mind moving?
W: You really should gain more self-discipline.
P-b: It has nothing to do with needs and everything to do with death!
W: It can sometimes seem that way, can't it?
P-b: No, it REALLY is a matter of life and death! And death has nothing to do with needs, does it?
W: Well, no but...
P-b: Let me through or I will have to hurt you!
W: Have to or need to?
P-b: You're going to get me killed!
W: Cool it!
Mafia stereotype: You're late!
W: I'm outta here! *runs off*
P-b: Please, don't shoot. I was held up by that idiot...
M S: And that is an excuse?
P-b: N-n-n-n-o.
M S: Let's get this over with.
P-b: Please don't kill me! I'll never be late again!
M S: Kill you? No, I want you to taste my cake and tell me what you think.
P-b: WHAT?! You said it was a matter of life and death!
M S: It is!
P-b: *Dies of a heart attack*

THE END

That was Fascinating, once again.

2007-06-15T14:11:00.001+02:00

Welcome to this week's Friday rubric! Hey that rhymes! The question is "What is the question"?! I know! I'll ask you what YOU would do! That also rhymes... Stay tuned in foooooooooooor: "What would YOU do?":

If someone you didn’t really like wanted to borrow some stuff, would you:

a) lie?

Say: “I don’t have it” -> left it at home.
Say: “I gave it to someone else.”

b) half-lie?

Say: “yes”, avoid the person for the rest of the day, leave it at home and the next day say you forgot it
Say: “yes”, but do nothing.
Say you need it to revise (which is true, although you’re not going to start revising until tomorrow/next week/next month).

c) tell the truth?

“I don’t like you.”
Say: “yes, but could you photocopy it?”
“I don’t want to.”
Ignore the question

Is it theft of you:
A person owes you money and you either see their bag standing somewhere or say you’ll look after it. When they leave to go to the toilet or something you retrieve their purse and take out the money they owe you? 'Cos, what else do you do if they "refuse" to pay you back?! You could forget about it, but where's the fun in that?
All I can say is, that I must have forgotten to tell her about my 100% interest rate! EVERY second it goes up by 100%. I could make a special offer: every minute. Every hour is my lowest offer! No, I'm NOT talking about Claire, but the 20 Frs she owes me, must be around 200'000 Frs now. Gawd, I'd be rich by now! Let's see 20x24= 480 a day. She's owed it since last year, so 480 x 365= 175'200 Frs. Heh, I was nearly right! And if it were per second: 20x60x60x24= 1'728'000 Frs a day. So 1'728'000x365= 630'720'000 Frs! Wow, with an interest rate of 100% a second!!! Must tell her that.

Gawd, I dreamed of Claire... She's ubber annoying. What would you do if you saw her in the street?

Cross the street?
Say hello and walk on?
Pretend you didn't see her?
HIDE!!!
Turn and walk in the opposite direction?
Get that sniper to shoot her?
RUN!!!

If you had no other option and she saw you and started talking. Would you:

Walk on as though you hadn't heard her?
Say hello and walk on?
Ask for the money back, snatch her wallet out of her hands and withdraw it?
Scream "THIEF!!!" and start chasing her?
Ignore her?

If you walk on, but she doesn't take the hint and walks after you and talks to you anyway:

Say: "Oh, I did NOT hear you!"?
Walk on faster?
Tell her to clear off?
Say hello and walk on?

Since you don't know who Claire is, use an annoying, scrounging, Histrionic, Narcissistic, lying, shallow person of your choice instead.

2007-06-14T10:09:00.000+02:00

Oops, you were right, it wasn't a snow globe, it was an alarm clock or something. Ma bad! You've to admit, that it does sort of look like one though. Also: Raspberry, hem hem! Where are your comments? You wanted pictures of the cake, now where's the proof you looked at them?

This Maths lecture is as boring as sin! OK, it should be "as ugly as sin" and sin isn't necessarily boring, but I don't even know what I'm saying... So end of transmission...

2007-06-13T16:44:00.000+02:00

Oops, forgot to upload the pics of the cake!!!

Why is there a crater in the centre and what's up with the bubbles???

Top.

That's the inside of the top.

Finished cake from top. Chocolate wasn't dry yet...

Finished cake from "side". It's got Cinnamon cream in it! It was going to have strawberries in it as well, but there weren't any... Cake ALSO has Cinnamon in it.
