Oh my word. Someone searched for "girls pulling up skirts in public and at work" on Google to be presented with my website.

What is WRONG with people?

I'm going to IKEA now. Amy from work has got a new flat, I'm going to buy her some crap plastic cocktail glasses because I'm kind that way.

My pal has also lost weight, tuppy. Due to extreme food poisoning. Lovely!

On my old site, common search terms included "setting fire to pubes", "superglue condom", "sexy things to do with your girlfriend on a bus" and dozens of variations of things to do with hacking MySpace. And that's just the common ones. You don't want to know about the obscure ones.

I knew folk were gonna comment on that

It's just all bebo nonsense (you've got a new comment! friend request! message! story!) so I never bother reading them. I only cleared out my inbox a few weeks ago as well!

Also, Hayley Williams is pretty cool. First heard Paramore when I was searching for acoustic songs on YouTube and came across them playing an acoustic version of Pressure.

It wasn't as good as the 24 Season 6 finale.

Yeah, that was a good ending; I liked it for the same reason So was Lost, but unfortunately we have to wait until February for season 4 and until December for season 3 to come out on DVD Shocking.

Spoiler

Shame about what happened to Charlie though, he was one of my favourite characters. The writers did a really good job of turning his character around from the selfish junkie to the selfless hero who sacrificed himself to save Claire (and everyone else, but Claire/Aaron are the only ones he really cares about).

And yeah, some of the theories that are going around about Lost are absolutely ridiculous. Some of them are pretty rational and make sense, others are just crazy

BTW for question 19b(iii),
the maximum amount of memory is that 64Mb or 12Gb?
I got 64Mb but seen to be weird.

It's 12GB. The same question was in the 2005 paper.

No, because I don't have Sky One and it makes me want to cry.

And I don't watch it online because I don't like sitting watching TV shows online. TV shows should be on the telly as far as I'm concerned.

I don't want to know what happens, you can't tell me.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I watch movies (and Lost ) on Sky Anytime and it kinda gets annoying sitting at a screen doing nothing for two hours. I could connect it up to my TV, but that requires effort.

It will come out on DVD soon though, do not worry. And it's been scheduled to end in 2010, ABC said they're going up to season 6 then calling it quits (48 episodes) so that people stop thinking that they're dragging it out as long as they can.

Yeah, but it's only the cheerleaders and jocks that die. So long as you're relatively geeky, you'll end up going postal and annihilating the killer and getting the girl. I mean, I live in a big old spooky house in the middle of a forest (Yeah, weird :/) and we have no jocks or cheerleaders. I think that proves my theory

Yeah, but something like 10,000 people put it down on the census form I doubt that'll happen with scientology for a long time, but being a Jedi myself I'm a bit biased on that front

QUOTE(tuppence @ May 23 2007, 12:44 AM)

Because it's a cult. Innit.

I've heard loads of people describe it as a cult. Not sure if I agree with it or not. Tom Cruise may just be an alien anyway.

You want to relax? Do yoga!

When I want to relax, I go outside and get some fresh air. I live in the middle of nowhere, so it's pretty peaceful when you want to go out for a walk or whatever. Good for clearing your head; I'm not much of a "meditation" person.

I remember when Katie Holmes was pregnant the papers were going on about how scientology-minded ladies in labour weren't allowed make a sound. Is this actually true? Is that even possible? Fortunately enough i've never been in labour, so can't describe the pain but apparently it is absolutely AWFUL. (can't wait!)

It's true. Apparently if the first thing a child hears is his mother in pain, then it "damages" the child.

You can read up on it on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientology

QUOTE(paddyb67 @ May 22 2007, 08:45 PM)

I am one of The Church of Scientology's first members in Glasgow and the techniques for meditation which they taught me transformed me from a 5 F student to a 5 Band 1 A's candidate. I think everyone on this forum would benefit immensely from exposure to Scientology, with an open mind untainted by the media's bias.

While that's an interesting turn of events, what may have worked for you will not work for everyone else.

A lot of the times where questions asked you to give a network topology - the SQA never accepted 'Mesh' since it costs too much to have all the hardware. I remember that from doing all the past papers - some 4 years ago now I reckon! lol

Yeah, I kinda disagree with that. A topology is a topology, and if you can justify it you should get the marks. For a test we did once a friend of mine wrote tree topology as one of the answers when it was perfectly acceptable, yet the teacher claimed that it "does not exist"
