  1. What I hope would happen:

     

    1) Say hi, and pull out some witty remark that makes her laugh.

    2) Hold an insightful, articulate conversation.

    3) Just before I part ways, have a hug, and exchange phone numbers.

    4) Leave, with the best feeling in the world.

     

    What would probably happen:

     

    1) Faint.

    2) Stand up, regain composure.

    3) Say hi really awkwardly, and have a mind blank even though i'd probably have prepared something to say.

    4) Tentatively ask for an autograph and photo.

    5) Let her move on, as I would just be one person in many.

  2. Thanks for the link, Maestro, I can't believe I missed that episode.

    Go DanRad! He sure does have a lot of knowledge and intelligence for his years, it's always surprised me that he decided academia wasn't for him. Fair enough he chose a career in acting, but I'm surprised he dropped out of education at the earliest point (unless I'm mistaken).

     

     

    From what I remember he dropped out after his AS year, which is one year later than the earliest point to drop out, which is GCSE. An AS is equivalent to half an A Level. It seems a little pointless to me to do AS but then not stay on for the full A Level, but then again Dan's situation certainly wasn't ordinary.

  3. 60% of the time, it works every time.

     

    1 astronomical unit is the distance from the earth to the sun.

     

    1 parsec = the distance at which 1 astronomical unit subtends an angle of 1 arc second = roughly 3.26 light years

  4. Now, where did I put that flux capacitor?

     

     

    Just on a side note, I read a story a few weeks ago about a guy on the phone sorting out his car insurance. The lady on the other end asked 'does your car have any modifications', and he replied, jokingly, 'a flux capacitor'. She didn't have a clue what one was and wasn't sure if she'd be able to insure the car so she went to get her manager, who came over and said to the man 'we'll be able to insure you sir, as long as you don't travel over 88mph!'. What a legend.

     

     

    Anyway, back on topic. With hindsight, I'd definitely go back in time. Not only for Harry Potter, but for life in general. I'd definitely make some better decisions.

  5. I know this is getting slightly off topic, but I think it's ridiculous to question whether the holocaust happened. It's one of the worst pieces of history, and there is plenty of evidence for it.

     

    I do believe we should gather news from as many sources as possible, but it is true that history is written by the victors. There will always be a slight spin on what really happened.

  6. Yep, back in January and now this December the snow has been unbelievable. I didn't like it back in January as I was doing A level modules and had a huge risk of missing exams, which meant I had to set off on what would be a 25 minute journey 2 hours before I needed to be there. I also had my driving test back in February in the snow (I passed, first time :) ).

     

    The first 'batch' of snow this December was incredible. I had a foot at my house and it felt like I was in a ski resort. I've never seen anything like it in England. As of today, the 2nd 'batch' has not hit Leeds yet, as it has the rest of the country, but I have no doubt within a couple of days my garden will be white again.

     

    On a related note, Imagine, the area where you live looks incredible. Very serene. And Dazza I love your shed. I would post a photo of my garden but theres no snow at the moment and it's dark outside. But my house is pretty much like one on Private Drive.

  7. I believe this is true. London (and probably most of England) doesn't experience as extreme temperatures as those in the US. It gets hotter here in the summer and colder in the winter here than it does in England. This is even true for many places in the southern states. One of the places in the US that has temps somewhat like London is San Diego but it's also mostly sunshine there too.

     

    On second thought, I suppose Seattle would be most like London. The temps are pretty much the same as averages go. And it also rains almost constantly there.

     

    Perhaps, although at the moment in the UK we're getting some especially cold weather. Daily highs are struggling to get above 0C and I've seen night time lows of -14C just over a week ago. Also, yes it does rain a lot in London but due to the weather it's snow at the moment. Of course the country just grinds to a halt and gets into a major panic even over just a few inches of snow.

  8. The thickness doesn't matter oh by the way... OBjective you'll find.

     

    Why does the thickness not matter? Oh, and by the very nature of you and I disagreeing over the aesthetics of a phone means that it is subjective. In fact until now I've never come across someone who thinks the iPhone is ugly.

  9. Can't help ya there. I've never been a broad. I've been a guy my whole life.

     

    I expect nothing less from the great man The Dude, you are about as manly as it gets. In fact just replying to you has made me want to go cook a steak for myself.

     

    if you go Australia this time of year, make sure u have a lot of sunscreen, it gets pretty hot here... thats pretty much take care of everything here hahaha

     

    Yep, I'll literally be showering in it every morning.

     

    hold on, let me get my vaccination card

    ..

     

    i travelled around south east asia (vietnam, thailand, malaysia and singapore) this summer for a month and a half, and i needed some refills as well

     

    i already have vaccine against hepatitis a and b, which will last the rest of my life (no need for refill)

    when i went into the doctor, told her where i was going and got told i should get the vaccine for polio and typhoid.

     

    i did not need malaria tablets when going those places, which were mainly tourist places. if i was travelling nort of thailand, or in the jungle, THEN i would need it

    Yeah, I'm only going south Thailand, and the islands, Ko Samui, Ko Phangan etc. where the health care is supposed to be quite good. I've got insurance and everything.

     

    I have travelled a fair bit, and have paranoid parents who travel with me so ive been given a fair amount of the vaccinatons.

     

    I only found out the list this year when i went to check with the doctor on if i needed any for my summer hol in Greece, and he showed me the amount i have had. Had both Heptitis's vaccinations, malaria tablets, Diptheria, typhoid, a meningitis one. I have been to exotic places for holidays so my parents tended to go overboard, even if the doctor said its recomended and not compulsary.

     

    Perhaps just go to the doctor and get a list of the most needed ones, also the vaccinations will vary on how they work if you are staying long in the country. For eg, i think that japanese vaccine is recomended if your constantly in and out of the country and also staying quite a while. to my knowledge i dont think any vaccinations are needed for australia :)

     

     

    I think I've got all the essential ones. I was just worrying about rabies as I've heard there can be a fair few stray dogs moping around. But to be honest as long as I steer clear it shouldn't be a problem. The £120 I save can pay for a couple of nights out in Sydney.

     

    Cheers for the help guys.

  10. I'm going to be doing a bit of travelling next springtime around the world and it's come to that time where I need to get all my vaccines. I hate needles. But that's besides the point. I was wondering what vaccines you guys have had when you've been abroad? Most western countries you can go without anything, but I'll be heading to South East Asia, Australia and Fiji.

     

    The risk from diseases varies greatly in different regions, but does anyone know what injections they had if they went to Thailand? I'm getting all the free ones, but things like rabies and Japanese encephalitis cost £120 each and the risk is low... so I'm just not sure. The only thing I'm pretty certain on is malaria tablets. What do you guys think?
