It's getting warm again in the UK, so what are your plans for summer?
Might be off for a week and do a quick run through Europe, dunno yet. Will be spending most the summer looking after the house whilst everyone else goes off gallivanting for a month or so.
Well, just had a fellow clicker over for a week-long visit, that went too fast Now I think Im going to NYC and then Virginia to visit friends at the end of the summer...
I'll be going to a couple of music festivals first (I am stalking Neil Young this year), then I gotta play some small gigs myself to "promote" my album, then I am going into the mountains. When I get back I might start working on a game or something.
It isn't Summer for a while here . But we're on mid-year holidays right now and we're heading off for a week down to Byron Bay (I don't expect you UKers to know anything about Australia ).
After that Jake's coming down for a week (you know, Silvernova Jake... >_>.
Am I the only one who hasn't met another clicker?
Oh, I'll meet OldmanClayton I'm pretty sure he lives in Ohio.
And Codemonkey too.
So I win, i have 2 (even though they know nothing about it yet )
Your just jealous that you're not as awesome as me.

Er... What? Where do you live again? BTW Phizzy SSBB is really the best thing ever.
You can log off any time you like, but you can't ever leave.
I thought it was the best thing ever for a whole week too! Unfortunatly, two weeks later and I never touched it again. Seriously, it's been over a month and I've not played it at all.
They should have made the characters harder to unlock.
One thing bad about SSBB is that some of the tourney players from SSBM might be disappointed, they diddn't include some of the tricks that were in SSBM, mabey thats why people say its watered down.

It's like the people who played CS and glitched it to be good. Now they have to have skill and strategy to win and they donut like it. I love the slower pace, still a frantic game but it lets you get a good strategy in there.

No You can play other button mashers and have a jolly nice time but you'd be destroyed by someone who knows how to play. A friend of mine is state champion (or something) with Peach and he goes nuts if you mention button mashing. Unless you're content with only beating any mode on easy (which still unlocks stuff).
15 hours play time and I've only owned it just over a day. Can't believe how good that Subspace mode is, better than most modern single player games alone! Feels like a really good quality Kirby crossed with Streets of Rage.
I looked forward to SSBB forever, got it... then played a little while before stopping. It's not cause it's not fun, I just don't have anyone to play it with. MacadaM, get yer butt down here! (hey, do you live anywhere near Cedar Point?) Since SSBB is out in the UK, we should all exchange codes. I wonders if they improved UK's online..? Oh and yes, I have driver's ed too. I've known how to drive since I was three, but it's mandatory. Waste of time and money.
It's pretty awesome that you get drivers ed. It's about £20/$40 a lesson here. A single, measly, hour long lesson! At least it's in a BMW to make it worthwhile
I had 3 instructors, the best one was my final female instructor from AA, she put a lot more confidence in me than the guys, because she never stopped talking or looked worried. I learned to drive in a Ford Focus, great car IMO
OldManClayton, I live in Eastlake, by Cleveland.
Hopefully one day I can meet a fellow clicker, I think it would be cool.
You could see all my games that im never going to release to the public (they suck, or 1/2 done)
hahah.
But yeah, I live pretty much right by Lake Erie.
Your just jealous that you're not as awesome as me.

Went up to lake erie once... Yea, I wish I had to just do one lesson. I would've been eligible for my license for ages now if we could've afforded the class. The school I'll be going to has ford focuses. But I prefer my old ford falcon any day. HAHA, the quiz I took for the permit-- Question numbah 16: When you see red lights on the car in front of you, does this mean, A) the car is slowing down B) the car is speeding up C)ADURH! If there wasn't an age requirement I would've got my license in second grade.

It makes my parents lol when Americans say their gas is expensive... Our friends in Virginia were complaining about this, yet it was still only around half the price of what it was in the UK.
I'm going to London to see Les Miz at the theatre, Leeds to see Monkey at the theatre, and Leicester to got to the Alcon anime convention. I'll also be studying Java in preparation for Uni.
The UK is expensive. London especially so. But, on the other hand, the dollar is weak and they have crazy low minimum wage. Currently the US federal minimum wage is £2.93/h, although it'll soon go up to £3.28 and next year to £3.63. The UK has a minimum wage of £3.40/£4.60/£5.52 for those <18, 18-21 and >22 respectively.
I suppose it's all offset though, junk is much cheaper in the states so that low minimum wage probably gets the same quality of life as here. The best bit is being university educated in the UK, working in the UK and then shopping in the US and somehow living there too.
Les mis, you lucky sod. Love some of the music from that! The Westend is the best place to see musicals IMO- Ive never really seen a decent performance in Broadway. Also, my local theatre has the traveling musical productions that are actually better than what I saw in Broadway ... It's kinda like buying designer clothes, most people just rate them for the name, and not what they actually are.
I feel sorry for you guys if prices are higher there... but that doesn't change the fact that it's too expensive over here too. Plus, my family isn't exactly the most... wealthy? I was just thinking about all the stupid stuff and overall decline of American society the other day... Reminds me of Rome. Don't get me wrong though, most aspects of life are better than they were. That was a little deep...
I say, is it really so, old bean? Jolly good for you, Whot? Would you care for a spot of tea and a crumpet? Well, confound it! We seem to be all out! Would a turkish delight suffice, chap?
NO! They are not biscuits. Scones are kinda like mini, slightly sweet muffins. Soft without a crust. Butter, jam and clotted cream are pretty good with them
American biscuits are savory, unless you buy them in the cans at the store, or at school. I hate school biscuits. They disguise themselves as good biscuits, and then they don't taste like good biscuits.
"Skibbits" as I call them, are the greatest thing on earth, aside from cheese. Skibbits and gravy is one of my favorite breakfasts. Especially when Mum makes 'em...
I'm so happy that my mum is a good cook. MMMMM. All kinds o' yummy stuff... Fish20! I've got something for you to do! We really need to make you a new logo.
