If you can get through 4 seasons, even short seasons, of anything in a mont then you very much need to reassess your life.

Nonsense. It adds up to about two episodes a day, which as an average (some days more, some days less) is not unreasonable at all.
EDIT: God, so many metal fans in this thread...
What? If you're unemployed, that's about two weeks of entertainment tops.
Mix that shit with cola and ice son
I play games with spookie, its an inside joke ;p
We already had that thread.
That's actually what I did since I was curious to see what it tasted like.
Honestly I hope that Jack Daniels was off because otherwise I have no idea how someone could drink that stuff.

Happy Friday campers!
Weekend plans?
I'm off to do some karaoke tonight followed by watching a couple of bands. Tomorrow is Eurogamer followed by an epic dinner at Jimmy's World Grill followed by Dredd 3D. Sunday is relaxing day, depending on weather may go for epic bike ride in Epping Forest.

Well Suairyu, when a man and a woman love each other very much, they hold each other in a special way...
I accidentally ventured into a tag-fishing thread in late 2009/early 2010 and walked away with it.
My girlfriend will be in Osaka from Saturday-Tuesday so I'll have the flat to myself... to finish a web design project :/
That and I'm abstaining from alcohol because I need to have a bunch of checkups done in hospital on Monday. My next beer will hopefully be next Friday when this web design project is finished.
Yes I am. And since it's set in the UK it should be of interest to everyone else in this thread.
Ergh, my tip: Don't drink 5/7 of a bottle of 700ml JD before going out.

EDIT: OOO Weekend plans.
Well tonight we're heading out into Newcastle again, think we're gonna get on the Bucky.
Tomorrow night we may just be getting high and watching a movie.

A GAF Camp area would be sweet. We'll need a neogaf flag planted next to the tents though. The logo on one side and Evilore's face on the other. I wouldn't worry about it if you weren't able to convince anyone to go with you. We'll all be there so you'll have folk to hang out with.
Hey! Do you have any idea how difficult it is to watch it sober?
...I don't either but I wish I had fucking ketamine to help me recover after watching Street Fighter: The Ties that Bind. Sweet F.A! Which I'm ok with because I've been out and about the last 2/3 weekends and I could do with a weekend of sitting around in my living room staring blankly at the TV. Mr Virgin Media is hooking up my internet this afternoon and I - thankfully - brought up all my PC cables so I might hop onto Steam for the first time in 500 days. Feel free to add me guys:
EDIT: I was just invited to head to Dundee to watch Dredd 3D and meet the creators but I had to pass since I have to be there by 6pm. Virgin Media said they'll be sending their engineers between 1pm and 6pm :/ If only they gave me a fixed time. if only!!
Currently at a starbucks stealing their internets. Last night I re-watched, possibly, the best espionage thriller movie of all time people. OF ALL TIME! Spy Game. I'm still blown away at how tense and perfectly paced it was. Does anyone know any films that are similar? I can only think of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy which I'll be watching tonight.

Giiiiiiig! And meeting Mike properly
I've spent the past two days at work not really working but making a zine to give out at the show. Here's the cover (quoted for insane size):
Just realised, June 12-14, that'll be cutting it REAL close to exams. This past June my last exam was the 7th, could run on later if they want.
However, I shouldn't have as many exams this time, a lot of my modules are pure coursework with them being like AI for Games and Graphics and Computer Games Development and stuff.
I've started listening to this while doing work, or studying:

The weather in Taipei is getting noticeably colder now. I just had my first hot shower since April. 20-25c for the next couple of days apparently - doesn't help there's a typhoon here as well.
Dredd 3D soundtrack composed by Paul Leonard-Morgan...a Scot!
Speaking of Scot, we had a VIP from the US in the office yesterday and he decided that he wanted a Glaswegian dish for lunch at the cafeteria so he was given a pie, baked beans and chips (no idea who recommended him that) in one of those polystyrene takeaway cases (He was late for a meeting so he wanted it to-go). After receiving it from the chef, he closes the case and heads to the cashier. Dinnerlady looks at the closed polystyrene case then looked back at him with a blank face and said "Oi! Ya hink I'm wearin' x-ray specs or sumthin?" awkward laughs followed with someone commenting "oh, that's just Glasgow humour sir!" I couldn't stop smirking.
Damn! sounds nuts. You heading back to the UK anytime soon?

I intended to come back for December (my birthday, Christmas, New Year and the expected birth of a nephew all in one month) but getting a pulmonary embolism in May derailed that train.
I aim to return to the UK next December instead. I miss my mum cooking proper Christmas dinner.
And this typhoon isn't as severe as the last few. Just a lot of rain and the odd gale force wind. When I was coming back from Hong Kong in July the plane flew through a typhoon from takeoff all the way to landing in Taipei. To say that was the longest 2 hours of my life is quite the understatement.

Guessing with everything that happened flying isn't well recommended for the time being? Feeling alright otherwise?
industrian

I can fly short distances (2-3 hours max) and I'm that heavily medicated that technically I could risk flying back to the UK. But I've not got enough money to spare for a return ticket, and I don't want to risk complications and getting stuck in a hospital ward in the UK. My life is in East Asia now.
I've been on medication for 6 months now and go to the hospital on Monday for more bloodwork and to get a chest x-ray to see how the clot is doing. The doctor wants me to be medicated for life, but unless he can prove that it's a genetic reason for this occurring and not just a "shit happens" then I'll have to refuse. Warfarin sucks the fun out of life.
50% chance I'm going to TW for Chinese New Year so I might meet you up in Taipei. Looking at around 8th/22nd Feb, but that obviously depends on other commitments and such.

Trying to experiment to find a spirit that I like. I wanted to try this JD Honey that you chaps have been talking about but my local shop didn't sell it. So instead I've gone for some Sailor Jerry's rum. I had it once and liked it. Let's do this!
I think you mean "Brit".

Chinner comes up with that on the same day Meadows gets banned again? This is not a normal day on UK-GAF!
I'm not one to often call bullshit on a ban, but this is bullshit. He was very clearly imitating a certain section of the population you see best expressed on things like Fox News and YouTube comments. Hope it's a short ban.
It wasn't contributing much the conversation but it wasn't exactly "shit posting" either.
Especially when Kettch went unbanned for much the same sort of comment:

Makes sense, not worth the risk for what might happen so soon after.
IIRC six months is the typical duration on Warfarin? Either way I hope you can come off soon. Stuck on two beers a night is not a way to live, it's dull as fuck. I'll probably be on it for a while yet, with the caveat I can come off at my own risk.
I laughed a lot at Meadows post.

FREE MEADOWS! He only just came back dammit!
This may be oversharing a tad (this is what I do, if you've not cottoned on my now) but I just found this rather beguiling adult performer online. But you have to buy her... performances and it's like $85 for 9... performances which, even if I were to enjoy them immensely would probably still work out at $5 per enjoyment.
For a second, the idea of gathering some of my like minded friends to club together the money crossed my mind, but then I thought it would be really creepy.
Damn.

That's a very specific type of club, you're looking for there.
