quote:Or the Rocky films... But yeah, Beatles posts ftw. Dintiradan: If you want her back that's fine. Otherwise, meh. We'll say she died. As for my old faction, there are two things I'm thinking could've happened to them: A) They just got swallowed up into a bigger Avernite faction (probably Tyran's). B) They got too shouty and were killed (which makes sense if the surface became uninhabitable - even if people on the surface were dying, my lot wouldn't let anybody down into the caves). So it depends on the opening post, I guess. Either's good though. As for who I'm going to be, I'm willing to take up a faction that already exists, or else make up something new, again depending on the opening post. -------------------- Nikki's Nook - bigger than Jesus?

I've not really got plans per se. I'm working Christmas Eve, and New Year's Day, but otherwise I'm mosty free. I think the reason I've not planned ahead is the lack of any kind of festive spirit in my town. -------------------- Nikki's Nook - bigger than Jesus?

quote:As far as you know? In England, a lot of places don't, and you have to either bring one from your old house, or else buy a new one. I've been looking at flats lately, since I'm looking at moving out of the family home, and I'd say 50% of them I've seen don't come with an oven. quote:Here I was thinking that an oven is actually a flame, fuelled by gas. In fact, I'm pretty sure we have to light a big stick to get ours to light after turning on the gas because the ignition button (it doubles as a racing car) is broken. Sure, you can get electric ones, but even then if the filament blows, it's not a matter of buying a £10 bulb to replace it. They cost a lot of money. quote:None of my family are obese, nor have they ever been obese. But I'm sure that being poor limits the food that people can buy. Supermarkets rarely price fatty, junk food higher than food packed with nutrients and vitamins. I mean, at the supermarket I work at, 1kg bags of frozen ovenchips cost about £1. A bag of fresh potatoes of a similar weight are nearly twice as much. Processed beef-burgers cost £2.20 for 8, whereas the meat you'd need to make them is priced anywhere between £3 to £6, depending on the quality. And I hope that it's obvious which are the better foods out of just those examples. When I first started my job, I was appalled that a single apple cost 39 pence at our shop. 39p for an apple! Suppose you have four kids, like my family. That's £1.60 for an apple each, not counting the two adults. And that's only one of your five-a-day. And okay, I'm not saying that is the case 100% of the time, and I'm sure that you can find potatoes and meat and whatever cheaper elsewhere, if you look around, but if you're on a budget, you're more likely to buy the cheaper stuff - the stuff that are cheaper because it doesn't have piles of vitamin c in it, because it wasn't grown organically, or whatever. And eating stuff like that leads to obesity. -------------------- Nikki's Nook - bigger than Jesus? Posts: 2864 | Registered: Monday, September 8 2003 07:00 |

Just going back to the oven debate, my family didn't get a proper oven until I was about 5 - before then we just used a stove and a grill. There have also been times when we've only been able to afford food that clearly wasn't doing anything great for us nutritionally, but was cheap enough to live off. Now, we're fortunate that both my parents have reasonably paid jobs (I remember for much of my childhood we lived off my dad's wages (about £8,000) and child benefits so maybe it just seems reasonable comparitively), and we eat much better because of it. Just as an example, when you can only afford to eat bags of frozen oven chips and tins of baked beans, you don't get much fruit. Oh, and I know society's definition of "beautiful" is totally wrong, but I couldn't resist... quote:Is that a trick question, and do you work for any branch of the Metropolitan Police? We have a word for people that look at pants in the junior clothes department over here in England... :P -------------------- Nikki's Nook - bigger than Jesus?

quote:As a designer, I find that kill nodes are bad, too. It makes beta-testers cry. Of course, if you try to kill the uber-boss guy, you're not going to get off lightly, but still. I like to put in a warning, and then boot the party out of the scenario, with a end_scenario(2) call - in game, I'd say they were exiled from town or whatever. Much nicer, and the player doesn't have to reload. quote:I've used it once or twice. I think I was getting weird errors in TV, and I couldn't work out why.

I've just got back from a weekend away in Manchester, having had an amazing time, eating good food, and seeing good bands. But, by far the best thing I saw was last night (Sunday 3rd), whilst ordering my Jack and coke from the bar: Next time you're in England, Tyran, I'll buy you a pint. :) Anybody else with Spiderweb-related things in their town/city/cave? -------------------- Nikki's Nook - bigger than Jesus?
