  1. Once you go Total War, you'll never go back. Well, you might, but that's another story.
  2. I think english is more abrasive than german. German has all those nice sh sounds. I thought that at first. Then I did it through GCSE (2 years) and A-Level (2 years)- six damn years including the two before GCSE. By the time I had taken my last exam in it, I was sick to the teeth with its crap grammar and irregular everything. It wasn't barbarians, or internal decay that ended the Roman Empire; it was A-level Latin students. That said, I still keep it up. And its nice spoken, and the poetry, especially Catullus and Virgil, is some of the best ever. Damnit. Other than that, I like Italian, French, English (especially older forms) and Arabic (ancient Egyptian sounds nice too, if you can fimd someone who can pronounce it). Can't stand German. I've always thought you can tell a lot about a language by the way it says 'I love you' and I hope nobody ever tells me 'ich leibe dich'. Welsh (either the language or accented english) makes me want to pull my own teeth out. Never heard Finnish before that video, but I thought it sounded ok. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ich liebe dich (pronounced as ishleebudish, i think) sounds a whole lot better than Ay lav yOO. I think that to a lot of non native speakers, english is a very harsh language. I think the worst is the american accent(not sure which area, i think its the california one) where they substitute short o's for strong a's. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm quite able to pronounce German, thank you . Fair enough if many non native english speakers find English harsh- it can be I agree, and as it is strongly related to German, that isn't surprising. However, I wasn't comparing German with English, I was merely remarking that I find the German way to say 'I love you' particularly uninviting, being full of harsh syllables. (as an aside, I find the English way better because of the softer syllables, but I'll concede that mine is a biased opinion) P.S. It's more Aye luv Yoo- as in the tennis score, rather than a urinal. P.P.S. Totally agree on the American accent front.
  3. Me too. But remember, it's the thought of the guy spending money that counts So no matter where you get the flowers, make sure she thinks you paid a heavy price for them. Like a kidney or something. Only then, will she know you love her. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> So the conversation might go: "You cheapskate! They're wild flowers!" "Cheap? While I was picking them, a wasp bit my finger off! Viscious bastards, wasps." ?
  4. Rydhsys rag Kernow lemmyn!
  5. I don't know many shops that sell bunches of say, wild primroses, bluebells and crocuses. But then, I don't frequent florists, lol. I meant a really obviousely wild bunch, which I personally would think of as very romantic.
  6. So artificial flowers would be fine, then? Or is the thought in question simply to spend money? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Plastic is cheap. You sacrificed your hard earned money by buying real flowers, for someone you love. If a man bought me plastic flowers, he would be kicked out the door with his flowers. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Out of curiosity; what would you do if a man gave you a bunch of wild flowers?

  8. Awwwwwwwwww @ the first. Tee hee hee hee @ the second- might have to get that in for next year "
  9. Really? May I ask which "mind or head" if you will, is appreciating the beauty? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Anthony Head. I bet he's a Lara fan. Sitting on that Buffy set, surrounded by all those women.... ..... .... .... of course he played video games between takes.
  10. Darth Somethinorother's Valentines Day FAQ: 10 things your Sweetheart never wanted you to know about Valentine's Day: St Valentine, the person to whom the day owes its name, was accordinly executed in 270 AD, for being criminally romantic. The French knight who sent the first Valentines card from the tower of London to his wife at home, after the battle of Agincourt (which the English won, btw)(even though the French really should have)(we had your legs for dinner froggies!)(*rude hand gesture*), was probably executed too. St Valentine worked for Hallmark. V-Day, a common abbreviation for Valentine's day, is actually the name given to the day dedicated to ending violence against women. You aren't getting laid tonight. There is a book about it! "I hate Valentine's day by Benett Madison. Amazon are temporarily out of stock. The last time Chuck Norris saw Valentine's day, he gave it a roundhouse kick to the FACE! Dead people celebrate Valentine's Day. Exactly the same way we do. EXACTLY the same. Valentine's Day is based on an Illuminati ritual. The one where they rip your heart out and stuff it into your mouth. Over time, human hearts got replaced by heart-shaped chocolates! There is no Tenth, proving that Valentine's Day always promises more than it delivers.
  11. Another half an hour of this god-foresaken day to go
  12. Tee hee hee!
  13. Corellia is one of the best... Deadly_Nightshade <{POST_SNAPBACK}> have they shown corellia? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> In Mods, Yes... Deadly_Nightshade <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Corellia's in Rogue Squadron 3D, and SWG, I believe.
  14. Blasphemy! Burn the heretic! <_< <{POST_SNAPBACK}> More Python! "A WITCH, A WITCH! Can we burn her?" ... "But hiw do you kniw she's a witch?" ... "SHE TURNED ME INTO A NEWT!!... I got better" Can you honestly tell me that that scene wouldn't look fantastic in Lego?
  15. I got to the end of 'Darth' and then lost interest. That was a long time ago now. I just sort of kept on using it. 'Ooo Shiney!' and varients thereof I also use. The Pixies are a band- sort of like the Dropkick Murpheys, only different. They toured together last year, and I think both played at Leeds and Reading last year too (certainly the Dropkick Murphey's did). (They were awesome )
  16. Withnail and I. How the hell I never saw it before in 20 years, I know not. Absolutely classic.
  17. Yea.... all those poor Muslims in Antarctica.... :'( Just to clarify: by "food" I honestly meant "food and drink", but the "and drink" bit was silent. Like a Ninja in the night :ph34r:
  18. Is the disc scratched?
  19. Water is not allowed for fasting Muslims though. And didn't Gandhi last many days fasting? If you drink water, I really wouldn't call that fasting. On the other hand, some Christians call not eating chocolate for 40 days fasting, so I don't know... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You do realise that even the most hardcore muslims only forgoe food during daylight hours in Ramadan? :ph34r: EDIT: Gah! Beaten to it!
  20. Ah yes, the devils piss. Unfortunately if you fail your saving roll you'll be forced to eat a kebab. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Damn those new D&D rules!
  21. Get wasted on Stella Artois. So filling you'll never eat again. So expensive, you'd never be able to afford to anyway!
  22. Even Darth Maul looked good in Lego.
  23. Camelot! Camelot! Camelot! It's only a model. Shhhh! Yea, it's on the DVD, which is what made me think of it. But why stop with the Knights' scene, when they could do all of it???
  24. They should re-make the KotOR series in lego. And Monty Python's The Holy Grail, while they're at it.
  25. Linky! According to this one CHEWIE CAN PULL ARMS OFF!
