I know... but other than petty point-scoring what is there to talk about? What can we disagree on next, maybe the colour of the sky, or the religious views of the pope?! Sorry I'm losing it here... y'know, that fragile hold on sanity thing... *dribbles*

Y'know the beansprouts used in stir-fries? They're from mung beans ;D And Jules, there's still plenty of things to discuss! Have you ever been on the Things My Girlfriend And I Have Argued About website? Did you watch the snooker last night? Are you, like me, set to play snooker tonight? Did you even think to ask how my anime convention went? DID YOU EVER CONSIDER MY FEELINGS AT ALL, DAMMIT?! Question for everyone to consider too: They say that if you sat a thousand monkeys at a thousand typewriters, they'd eventually come up with the complete works of Shakespeare. Reckon a thousand 606ers could do it in half the time?

No I have not been on said website. I have said book, which I have barely started, which a distant friend once gave as a birthday present. I did not watch the snooker. It's not the same withouth my grand-dad... *lip quivers* I am not intending to play snooker tonight. Are you going down the pool hall, in a tournament, just chilling while playing with some balls?! Oh yeah that. How was it then?! No not really... get a hold of yourself, woman! *slaps with fish* I think a few of us are capable of sub-Shakespearean drama already Neko! So yeah probably....

The website is far superior to the book, and well worth a read if you ever have a dull afternoon. I'd cite a couple of examples but the IT department seem intent on trampling all over my human rights and restricting my freedom of expression with their damned firewall I'm going down the local hall with my cousin, just to knock 'em about for a bit. I'm under no illusion that I'll get totally owned, though - my record break is 27, and I've not played snooker for 6+ years! The convention was fantastic ;D Got stopped for a load of pics of my outfits, got called 'cute' many times, took a ton of pics myself... I must say, though, that I really don't think the people of Nottingham were quite prepared for seeing a half-naked catboy nonchalantly stood at the traffic lights Friday morning! Also managed to pick up some manga and a DVD at massively cut prices, and got myself a Nekobus plushie too! ;D

Hmmm, I imagine it'd be blocked here as well then Coolio. Yeah might take a while to get your eye in again. It's good fun though I take it we'll being seeing a selection of the pics at some point? Yes I can imagine that the local reaction - as it would be in most places other than London and maybe Brighton - would be "WTF?!" Glad to hear you got some good stuff What's the technical difference between Manga and Animé in general btw...

Glad to hear you got some good stuff What's the technical difference between Manga and Animé in general btw... I'll try to post some of the finer ones once I'm home, if there's time before I go out I'll certainly be putting some of the better pics up ;D The cosplay there ranged from average to fantastic, but the people were utterly awesome - there's nothing like getting a running tackle-hug from someone starting on the other side of the room to brighten your day up! ;D I'm not lying when I say about 60% of the drivers went slack-jawed and totally forgot to look at the road as they went past - I'm amazed there wasn't an accident! I mean, I was expecting shock, but that was above and beyond ;D One guy took advantage of it though. I was walking through reception, in my full outfit, and he waved me over. Turned out it was his mate's stag do that day, and they were staying in the hotel... You can imagine where that went; the look on the poor guy's face was priceless! ;D Anime is the 'cartoons' - just think 'animation'. It literally translates as 'cartoon' anyway Manga is the 'comic strip' stuff, like this: (Btw, that page shopuld be read right to left, top to bottom - makes more sense that way )

Crazy, exuberant people are always fun! *cough* parade of inbreds! *cough* ;D I dunno... I suppose it probably was the most exciting thing they'd seen in years! Ha, that's good! Right, gotcha.

Crazy, exuberant people are always fun! It helps when they're exceptionally cute too ;D I mean that both physically and in personality, and I do mean 'cute' too - some of them were almost kitten-ish-ly playful, and they were all very friendly

Everyone else's lack of talking forced the conversation this way ;D
For future reference: If you value enjoying your food, don't allow my boredom to steer conversation!
