[empire21]

LMFAO, best avatar ever :P

[Lord Senes]

[empire21]

Where is everyone :where:

[Lord Senes]

I have always been here

[empire21]

I guess it's just you and I in here.

Anyway, how's Hammer coming along?

[Master Magnus]

I guess it's just you and I in here.
No, I'm here as well! :)

[empire21]

Good, the gangs all here :bye:

[leiaorgana]

And mesa!

[empire21]

[leiaorgana]

Lol! not really :( but I can think of a few coming soon :p

[empire21]

:w00t: your becoming addicted.

[Master Magnus]

So, have you guys started on Days of Our Lives yet? :P

[empire21]

So, have you guys started on Days of Our Lives yet? :P

:rofl:

[Lord Senes]

LOL

we're still working on it... I think we need to rent a truck to transport all 40+ seasons here and to make an extension to our house to store all of them...

[Lord Senes]

OK. I've had enough. This winter can go and bother someone else, like the eskimos. I demand sunshine, +25C and a pool.

So much for global warming... :banghead::banghead::banghead:

[leiaorgana]

^ only a month away :lol:

[empire21]

OK. I've had enough. This winter can go and bother someone else, like the eskimos. I demand sunshine, +25C and a pool.

Winter isn't all that bad, you and Flo can make a snowman and give it all the right parts using a carrot and some golf balls :bye:

[leiaorgana]

^ hahhahahah! lmao! :bop:

This winter we totally have to make a snowman.. maybe even a snowwoman!

[empire21]

^ hahhahahah! lmao! :bop:

This winter we totally have to make a snowman.. maybe even a snowwoman!

I won't even tell you what to add on your snowwoman :grin:

[Master Magnus]

I won't even tell you what to add on your snowwoman :grin:
You have a dirty mind, buddy... :lol:

[empire21]

I don't know what your talking about....:innocent:

[Lord Senes]

I won't even tell you what to add on your snowwoman :grin:



Umm... you've tried...?

;)

[leiaorgana]

ahahhaa by the way.. are you guys going to C4? Empire you promised!

[empire21]

ahahhaa by the way.. are you guys going to C4? Empire you promised!

I don't know yet, plus getting me on a plane what if that plane crashed, i'm to hot to die young

[Master Magnus]

ahahhaa by the way.. are you guys going to C4? Empire you promised!
So, I take it you'll be attending?

[Master Magnus]

There's a Sci-Fi convention with the focus on Star Wars and Star Trek in Stockholm with David Prowse and others attending. I heard about it but forgot... It's open for seven more hours, perhaps I'll go...

[empire21]

^ I think you should go it sounds like it would be good fun, now get moving :bye:

[Master Magnus]

^ I think you should go it sounds like it would be good fun, now get moving :bye:
As it turned out, I didn't go... I have a cold and I'm a bit short on cash... I'll save for my trip to London next year instead.

[empire21]

Thats to bad and I hear you on the cash. I think I need to win a million of two.

[Lord Senes]

You make it sound so easy... Guess who gets depressed every saturday night... :S

[empire21]

I think some beer is in order today Senes :cheers:

[Lord Senes]

I think so too... ;)

[Lord Senes]

I got the whole week off from work because I hurt me back today...


...beer, anyone? :D

[empire21]

Ooh me, you know I never turn down beer. :cheers:

[Master Magnus]

I got the whole week off from work because I hurt me back today...


...beer, anyone? :D
Sorry to hear that (about your back that is).

[Lord Senes]

Just yesterday I saw THE dvd boxset...

THE WEATHER CHANNEL - COMPLETE FIRST SEASON WITH PRODUCER'S COMMENTS. 2850 discs, all in a stylish box.

:w00t::w00t:

me wants!!

[empire21]

^ :rofl:

Where the hell are you going to find all the room especially with all them seasons of those soap opera shows you love?

[Lord Senes]

hmm... There's a soccer field right next to us... maybe i'll build a storage facility there...

[empire21]

Perfect :w00t:

[Master Magnus]

hmm... There's a soccer field right next to us... maybe i'll build a storage facility there...
And perhaps you can get a building permit for a 10x10 meter large screen as well (so that you can enjoy the Weather Channel to the fullest :w00t:).

[Lord Senes]

:rofl:

[empire21]

And perhaps you can get a building permit for a 10x10 meter large screen as well (so that you can enjoy the Weather Channel to the fullest :w00t:).

LOL, thats a must, good thinking Magnus. :P

BTW, hows that back treating you Senes?

[Lord Senes]

Still not good but i think i gotta go to work tomorrow... shame, really, i was having a good time at home...

[empire21]

I bet you were :bigsmile:

[Master Magnus]

Still not good but i think i gotta go to work tomorrow... shame, really, i was having a good time at home...
Well, you'll appreciate your home more when you come home in the afternoons.:P

[leiaorgana]

True! and in any case in 2 weeks we go on vacations! yay!!! :w00t:

And don't worry... I'm taking my laptop with me :lol:

[Master Magnus]

True! and in any case in 2 weeks we go on vacations! yay!!! :w00t:

And don't worry... I'm taking my laptop with me :lol:
Great! Where are you guys going?

[Lord Senes]

To Argentina... ;) Nice and warm, and a sixpack of beer (pint size) costs like 3-4 euros...

[Master Magnus]

To Argentina... ;) Nice and warm, and a sixpack of beer (pint size) costs like 3-4 euros...
Of course... How silly of me.:blush: Well, enjoy!

[Lord Senes]

;)

[empire21]

To Argentina... ;) Nice and warm, and a sixpack of beer (pint size) costs like 3-4 euros...

Yes, enjoy that nice warm weather this Christmas while we all freeze are butts off :glare: :P

[leiaorgana]

Lol! will do thanks!!!:nahnah: I'm so excited I cannot even tell!!! :w00t:

[Master Magnus]

I think it'll be nice with a cold, snowy Christmas...

[empire21]

Lol! will do thanks!!!:nahnah: I'm so excited I cannot even tell!!! :w00t:

It's understandable considering how long it's been since you've been with your parents.

I think it'll be nice with a cold, snowy Christmas...

Same here, but just once i'd like to be sitting outside on Christmas day getting a sun burn with a beer in my hand :D

[Sarah-Leia]

This is A Place For All the foreign people In the Senate like me


I Have Been wondering?


Is there Another mexican In the Senate?

Foreign? I presume you mean outside of the USA? Well, in my opinion, the USA is a foreign country...anyway, I'm from Australia.

[leiaorgana]

Ahh! Welcome to the foreign club! and yes it's mostly non-us member though everybody is welcome!
we have 2 o 3 other senators from Australia...me thinks

[Sarah-Leia]

More than that...there's Padme-Lily, Aayla Secura, Shaak Ti and .:Luminara:. as well as the more 'well known' senators :lol:

[leiaorgana]

Lol! true.. I didn't realize! anyway, how do you like it here?

[Lord Senes]

We demand more people here!

*screams*

[Master Magnus]

Well, there aren't that many foreigners around (well, since there's only me and another Swede here, I still must say that there are :confused:).

[empire21]

I wonder where obi-stu is hiding :scratchchin:

[Master Magnus]

I wonder where obi-stu is hiding :scratchchin:
Yes, you're right: I haven't seen him around for quite some time...

[Lord Senes]

He's propably in depression or something because whenever he makes his comeback, we suddenly start talking about alcohol... curious, really... When he's not here we only talk about the weather or something... :scratchchin:

[Sarah-Leia]

Lol! true.. I didn't realize! anyway, how do you like it here?

I love the Galactic Senate because I can talk about Star Wars!!

What I don't like is that everyone slams me just because I don't like Luke Skywalker. I AM entitled to my own opinion...:stars:

(I'm not accusing you, leiaorgana)

[Master Magnus]

(I'm not accusing you, leiaorgana)
I'm not that fond of the Luke Skywalker character either...

Anyway, I think you have a point there, Senes.

[empire21]

He's propably in depression or something because whenever he makes his comeback, we suddenly start talking about alcohol... curious, really... When he's not here we only talk about the weather or something... :scratchchin:

Yeah, whats up with that? When he comes back i'll try to control my urges to speak of alcohol.

What I don't like is that everyone slams me just because I don't like Luke Skywalker. I AM entitled to my own opinion...:stars:

We're just playing with you, Skywalker hater :tease:

[Lord Senes]

I don't like Luke either...

[Sarah-Leia]

I'm not that fond of the Luke Skywalker character either...
:w00t: Somebody else!
I don't like Luke either...
Goody! I feel happy now.


Oh, I'm feeling so happy! :w00t: :bigsmile: :lol:

[Master Magnus]

You see, you weren't alone! It's not that I dislike the character, but IMHO Han was always a more interesting character.

[empire21]

I don't mind Luke either although he would be a lot cooler if he wasn't such a whiner.

[Sarah-Leia]

You see, you weren't alone! It's not that I dislike the character, but IMHO Han was always a more interesting character.

I don't mind Luke either although he would be a lot cooler if he wasn't such a whiner.

You guys rock!

And you've made my Luke-Hating Day!


:)


:D


:lol:


:w00t:

[Jedi Master Harrison]

As more people were demanded, I'm from England, so guess that makes me foreign!

Luke is certainly not as cool as Han. Han's the loveable rogue and I agree he is a more interesting character than Luke, but there's something about being a jedi that just makes you way better than the average guy!

Welcome to the Foreign Club at the Galactic Senate, Harrison!
:welcome:

[Lord Senes]

Welcome, Harrison!

[empire21]

Yes, welcome to the GS and the Foreign Club, Harrison!!

[leiaorgana]

Wow! it's a party!!! loads of people! yay! :w00t:

[Jedi Master Harrison]

Cheers everyone, there's some great topics discussed in the Senate.

If it's a party in here then I'll supply the drink! :cheers: I think I'll need one as we are about to lose the first Ashes test to the Aussies! :(

[Master Magnus]

You're most welcome. It's always good with new faces... (or avatars, rather).

[Lord Senes]

:rofl: new avatars... that cracked me up... :)

[Lord Senes]

Whee!!! We finally finished the last season of B5, now only the movies remain.

[Master Magnus]

Whee!!! We finally finished the last season of B5, now only the movies remain.
Congratulations to the baby! Erm... I mean, the last season of B5...:nahnah:

[Lord Senes]

:bow: ... for me, that is... :lol:

[Lord Senes]

Where did everybody disappear?

[empire21]

I'm here with beer number 9 in hand. :bigsmile:

[Master Magnus]

I'm here with a soda in my hand...

[Lord Senes]

And i'm here dying of thirst... ;)

[Master Magnus]

And i'm here dying of thirst... ;)
That's nothing that a cold beer can't cure...:nahnah:

[empire21]

:lol: we're talking about alcohol again.

[Master Magnus]

:lol: we're talking about alcohol again.
Not me, I'm talking about soda (of course, I was indeed talking about a cure for Senes...:P).

[Lord Senes]

Yup, the cure for thrist and for n00b-related angerness/depression/just about any negative word...

[leiaorgana]

I would say the best solution for n00b-related angerness is :bop:

if you know what I mean...:tease:

[empire21]

:scratchchin: ....I give up, please be more specific and detailed :P

[Master Magnus]

I have no clue whatsoever...

[Lord Senes]

heh, nothing special, just ranting about n00bs in general.



And talking about beer, i noticed that i have like 30 bottles of beer to drink before we leave in 2 days, and they'll get old before we come back... ;)

[Sarah-Leia]

Hello! I'm back again. . .sooo...anyone here been to Sydney?

[Solo]

For me no, but I am planning to visit your lovely country and Sydney next summer. (Unfortunate people of Northern Hemisphere are having winter at the moment)

[Lord Senes]

Nothern hemisphere has winter? Where? In Finland it's supposed to be like -10C and a lot of snow but no. It's like +7C all the time and raining... Talking about a long autumn...

[Master Magnus]

We have a few degrees warmer here in my parts of Sweden as well. It should be around 0° to 2°C, but instead we have up to 8°C.

[empire21]

It's freezing here and it sure woke me up getting off of work this morning.

[Lord Senes]

Guess who gets rid of the winter for 1,5 months starting tomorrow... ;)

[Master Magnus]

Oh yeah, have fun Senes (and LeiaO of course!). So, have LeiaO learned any Finnish yet?

[Jedi Master Harrison]

In the south of England it's been about 12 centigrade every day this week, which is a good few degrees warmer than usual for this time of year. Mind you, it has rained hard most of the week as well, so it's not all good!

[Solo]

Global warming my dear friends, global warming. Our good old world is giving signals of destruction. In the past we used to have four seasons in my country and december was usually around 5 - 10º C. Now we have a warmer december, but we see -4º in January and spring does not arrive until the end of March or middle of April. It even snows for the last few years. The last snow I saw before them was 22 years ago when I was only 7. Climates are shifting. I wonder what we will do after the warming ends and cooling starts.

[empire21]

Guess who gets rid of the winter for 1,5 months starting tomorrow... ;)

:bop:

Have fun and enjoy yourselves. :xmas:

[leiaorgana]

^Thanks we're at the airport already!!! :w00t:

[empire21]

^Thanks we're at the airport already!!! :w00t:

How longs the flight going to take?

[Lord Senes]

We're in Paris airport now and it SUCKS! We had to walk like 2 miles to our terminal just to find out that every tax-free shop is closed. Grreat. Now we have to spend like 2.5 hours before boarding, only to wait another 13 hours in the plane to Argentina. The best part is that this is a smoke-free zone and i'm exploding here. Sure, I'm quitting and i have the nic gum etc... but still... come on France, gimme a friggin' break! [/vent] :banghead:

[empire21]

Sounds like your having a blast :P

[leiaorgana]

We've been here in Argentina for like 12 hours now, and i tell you it's HOT! ;)

I'll tell you about the trip later...

[empire21]

We've been here in Argentina for like 12 hours now, and i tell you it's HOT! ;)

I'll tell you about the trip later...

It's so cold here. :crying:

Anyway, can't wait to here about the trip. :bigsmile:

[huttslime]

Anybody interseted in where I am from?

[empire21]

Anybody interseted in where I am from?

Um....Chapel Hill, North Carolina?

[Lord Senes]

:rofl:

[huttslime]

Um....Chapel Hill, North Carolina?

Thats where I live.

Doesnt tell you where I am from...

[Lord Senes]

Ah... good ol' dial-up 56k! Which is the reason why i haven't been posting that much... oh well...

[Master Magnus]

Ah... good ol' dial-up 56k! Which is the reason why i haven't been posting that much... oh well...
It's good to see you, Senes! This place went pretty much quiet when you left.:P

[empire21]

LOL, that it did.

[Master Magnus]

LOL, that it did.
But we're here, so let's party!

[empire21]

Sounds good to me.

Btw Magnus, I'm going to be seeing "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" for the first time tomorrow. I'm looking forward to seeing Lazenby as Bond and also getting to see (to me) a new Bond movie. :w00t:

[Master Magnus]

Sounds good to me.

Btw Magnus, I'm going to be seeing "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" for the first time tomorrow. I'm looking forward to seeing Lazenby as Bond and also getting to see (to me) a new Bond movie. :w00t:
That's my favorite Bond movie. Lazenby was excellent as Bond and Diana Rigg was fabulous. The story is excellent and the action scenes works beautifully.

[Jedi Master Harrison]

That's my favorite Bond movie. Lazenby was excellent as Bond and Diana Rigg was fabulous. The story is excellent and the action scenes works beautifully.

Really? I think you're the only person who I've ever heard say that Lazenby was excellent as Bond! :cool: Not a bad film overall though.

[Master Magnus]

Really? I think you're the only person who I've ever heard say that Lazenby was excellent as Bond! :cool: Not a bad film overall though.
I think he had the potential to be a better Bond than Connery who, IMO, looked more like a thug than the Bond described in the novels.

[Jedi Master Harrison]

I think he had the potential to be a better Bond than Connery who, IMO, looked more like a thug than the Bond described in the novels.

Interesting, I've never thought of Connery as looking thug-ish, but I think that's a valid point. I still think Connery portrays the ultimate Bond on the screen though.

[empire21]

That's my favorite Bond movie. Lazenby was excellent as Bond and Diana Rigg was fabulous. The story is excellent and the action scenes works beautifully.

Wow, you weren't kidding, Magnus. What a great Bond flick and especially that ending. This is one i'll be watching again.

[Lord Senes]

Talking about Bond, we saw Casino Royale the other day... Quite different from any other Bond i've seen. But Daniel Craig was by far the best choice as the new Bond. I couldn't imagine Moore or Brosnan in this one...

And now i want to see ''Never Say Never Again''... ;)

[Master Magnus]

Wow, you weren't kidding, Magnus. What a great Bond flick and especially that ending. This is one i'll be watching again.
Yes, the movie feels very "genuine" and the ending is quite moving. I'm glad you liked it!

[empire21]

I haven't seen Casino Royale yet and I own Never Say Never Again but have yet to watch it so i'm looking forward to both.

Yes, the movie feels very "genuine" and the ending is quite moving. I'm glad you liked it!

Liked it, hell. I just watched it again today and I will admit to being a little bit attracted to Diana Rigg. :blush:

[Master Magnus]

Liked it, hell. I just watched it again today and I will admit to being a little bit attracted to Diana Rigg. :blush:
You're not alone, she's absolutely gorgeous and she's the best Bond-girl IMHO. Hell, I even watched The Avengers.

[Cydon]

I was't born in the U.S.! I was born in Nevada! Wait a minute...

[Lord Senes]

So, how's the weather in Canada, empire? cold? :p

[empire21]

Quite cold. :bop:

[Jedi Master Harrison]

It is 1 degree centigrade here in the south of England tonight. Brrrrrrrrrr. Time to snuggle up in my bed!

[Lord Senes]

LOL! today was a chilly day in Buenos Aires, too... only 29C... ;)

[Master Magnus]

We've had snow here in my parts of Sweden, but now the temperature is above 0°C so it has started to melt away again. I guess there will be another snow-less Christmas. :(

[empire21]

It's actually quite nice here today and it looks like we are also going to have a snowless Christmas.

And just for the hell of it, a link to my local forecast.

http://www.theweathernetwork.com/weather/cities/can/pages/CAON0759.htm?ref=wxeyecitypage

[Lord Senes]

Snowless christmas? no kidding... ;)

[Master Magnus]

No snow for any of us Three Musketeers...:P

[Lord Senes]

We had a big storm last night... thunder, rain, windy etc... pretty much the same as in sweden or finland but about 5 times stronger... :crazy:

[empire21]

It's doing alot of raining so atleast here we'll have a wet Christmas. :ohwell:

[Master Magnus]

Merry Christmas to all in the Foreign Club!

[empire21]

Merry Christmas to you Magnus even though it doesn't look like Christmas here. :vaderxmas:

[Jedi Master Harrison]

Best wishes to all my fellow foreigners, eat, drink and be merry! :sidxmas: :hug: :leiaxmas:

[leiaorgana]

Merry Christmas to all ! I love you guys!!!!:vaderxmas::xmas::leiaxmas:

[empire21]

*Big hugs to LeiaO and Senes*

And you tell Lord Senes that he's getting a big manly Christmas hug wether he likes it or not. :sidxmas:

[Lord Senes]

Hmm... It's like WARM outside... think i'll head for the swimming pool... ;)

[Lord Senes]

:barf:Hangover? Where? Who? ;)

:rofl:

[empire21]

^ I did more eating then drinking this year. :hungry:

[Master Magnus]

:barf:Hangover? Where? Who? ;)


Why aren't I surprised? Too much of the local brew? :D

^ I did more eating then drinking this year. :hungry:
Me too! Christmas ham, meatballs, Janssons frestelse (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jansson%27s_Temptation), Christmas sausage, veal brawn, beetroot salad, stockfish etc. I'm going to be stuffed into the next week.

[empire21]

Me too! Christmas ham, meatballs, Janssons frestelse (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jansson%27s_Temptation), Christmas sausage, veal brawn, beetroot salad, stockfish etc. I'm going to be stuffed into the next week.

Damn, that sounds delicious. :drool:

[Jedi Master Harrison]

Yeah, that does sound good. I ate more than I drank this year too, most unusual! I suppose at least I avoided having any hangovers! :wink:

[empire21]

I suppose at least I avoided having any hangovers! :wink:

Yep, thats all I was trying to avoid. Although I ended up with a stomach ache intsead of a headache.

[Lord Senes]

So, who's gonna build a hangover tomorrow? ;)

[empire21]

So, who's gonna build a hangover tomorrow? ;)

Lets not talk hangovers, i'm on my 4th Holsten Maibock and even though they are 7% alcohol i'm just getting warmed up. :cheers:

[Cydon]

Once in a blue moon I bought something from Barnes and Nobles today.

[empire21]

Dude, I think you got the wrong thread, don't delete this post though cause it's really funny.

[Cydon]

:lol:I know I have the wrong thread. I do everything I can to show my hate of B&N though! Its supposed to be in The Once in a Blue Moon Thread so...Transfer time.

[Jedi Master Harrison]

Lets not talk hangovers, i'm on my 4th Holsten Maibock and even though they are 7% alcohol i'm just getting warmed up. :cheers:

Go on my son! :beer: monster!

[empire21]

Time for some more brew methinks. :bigsmile:

[Jedi Master Harrison]

Are you really giving up beer until the summer?!

[empire21]

Yeah, I figure i'll try stopping in May and see if I can make it to the summer. Wish me luck. :)

[Jedi Master Harrison]

:lol: , as I expected! I gave it up for a month once and lost the best part of a stone in that time, as I was exercising every day. But I did miss the social side of having a beer and relaxing, drinking pints of coke or fruit juice just isn't the same!

[Master Magnus]

Well, since it's New Year's Eve, I thought I'd take this opportunity (even though it's three and a half hours away) and wish all the fellow foreigners...

A Happy New Year!

:beer: (Just don't take too many, otherwise you'll feel :barf:tomorrow...:P)

[Lord Senes]

drinking pints of coke or fruit juice just isn't the same!


I tried to cut my alcohol abuse by drinking alcohol-free beer... worst choice ever...!

[empire21]

Well, since it's New Year's Eve, I thought I'd take this opportunity (even though it's three and a half hours away) and wish all the fellow foreigners...

A Happy New Year!

:beer: (Just don't take too many, otherwise you'll feel :barf:tomorrow...:P)


And a Happy New Year to you, my Friend.

Unfortunately your advice on the cosumption of beer has and will fall on deaf ears. :bigsmile:

I tried to cut my alcohol abuse by drinking alcohol-free beer... worst choice ever...!

*Bi**h slaps Lord Senes for trying such a thing.*

[Jedi Master Harrison]

I tried to cut my alcohol abuse by drinking alcohol-free beer... worst choice ever...!


Disappointed in you, the GS is. :lol: I drank that for one evening once - never again!!

[Master Magnus]

I tried to cut my alcohol abuse by drinking alcohol-free beer... worst choice ever...!
No, that doesn't taste very good, does it?:ugh:

[empire21]

No, that doesn't taste very good, does it?:ugh:

You know, I actually have tried a .5% alcohol beer once that tasted quite good, it's called "Our Compliments" they even got there own line of hamburgers, very good the two are together. :beer: :hungry:

[Lord Senes]

Alcohol-free beer is surprisingly good. It's just a bit sweeter and more watery than it's counterpart.

[Master Magnus]

So, am I the only one without a hangover today? :P

[empire21]

Nope, no hangover for me. How about you Senes?

[Jedi Master Harrison]

No hangover for me either. :dance:

[Lord Senes]

Nope, no hangover for me. How about you Senes?


Nope! :lol:

[Morridini]

Norwegian here, anyone else from Norway here too (sorry for not reading through 80 pages of posts) besides Obidobi?

[Master Magnus]

Norwegian here, anyone else from Norway here too (sorry for not reading through 80 pages of posts) besides Obidobi?
No, but there are two Swedes. :)

[empire21]

And some Canucks also. :bye:

[Jedi Master Harrison]

And of course the token crazy Englishman! :bigsmile:

[Lord Senes]

And a Finn... ;)

[empire21]

And a Finn... ;)

A drunk Finn. :tease:

[Master Magnus]

Well, it's been quiet in here dear friends... What's the matter, too much :beer:? :P

[empire21]

Well, it's been quiet in here dear friends... What's the matter, too much :beer:? :P

LOL, I haven't had a beer in a week, I think. In the case of Senes, he's probably enjoying all that hot weather in Argentina. So we can't blame him for not being here.

[Master Magnus]

Right, I forgot that for a moment...

[Jedi Master Harrison]

I've been busy with work type things and so I have had much less time to post here. :(

[Obi-Stu]

Still the same huh?

[empire21]

Still the same huh?

LOL, we were doing good for a while.

Anyway, it's good to see you around again, Obi-Stu.

LOL, we were doing good for a while.

Anyway, it's good to see you around again, Obi-Stu.

Everytime I I think I'm back for good something happens. They cut my senate access at work.

[leiaorgana]

:w00t: Well what do we have here??? a bunch of drunken foreigners??? LOL...
I better don't start on what i'd drank this past holidays! :santa:

I hope you all have had a nice peaceful and enjoyable holidays! :grouphug:

Our top story tonight: Lord Senes has eight bottles of Heineken in his fridge and he hasn't touched them in a long time...!

Wow, thats pretty damn impressive.

[Sarah-Leia]

Ahh, the sheer irony of it: The foreigner i.e. me is in a foreign country that is different to the Foreign-to-the-US- country she already lives in.

LOL! It's good to see you in here, Flo! :)

[flo fett]

Thank you, it's nice to be here!
*adjusts her tartan hat and fake ginger beard in an attempt to look even more foreign*

[Obi-Stu]

So, how are we all today?

[flo fett]

Very well, I'm feeling fairly satisfied with myself. I feel I've had quite a productive day, how are you?

[Master Magnus]

Thank you, it's nice to be here!
*adjusts her tartan hat and fake ginger beard in an attempt to look even more foreign*
Hmm, what would I have to do to look foreign...:P

[empire21]

I should dress up in full Canadian weather gear while eating Canadian bacon with maple syrup and post a pic. That should be quite foreign looking. :)

[Jedi Master Harrison]

Maybe I could dress up as a Beefeater. What is the foreign perception of an Englishman?

An Ale drinking drunk, am I close. :P

[Jedi Master Harrison]

I'm really hurt by that suggestion. :lol: I thought I came across as a quintessential English Gentleman, the type who would be going about his business in a bowler hat and a polite manner. Healthy mind and healthy living.

*ahem*
No...really...a gentleman, yes, that's what we all thought of you as. No really.

LOL, sorry JMH. I guess I was describing myself. :cheers:

That, sob, is the most moving thing a man has ever said to me. :crying: with happiness. :grin:

I seem to have a way with words. :wink:

[Master Magnus]

I'm touched *wipes a tear*. :D

[Jedi Master Harrison]

^ I seem to remember something about a Swedish cousin too. :)

I would love to visit Sweden, are the women really as beautiful as is said? I am only put off by the price of alcohol really (the beautiful women would need a few bevvies before getting with me)!

Male chauvinist! :D Seriously, I'm afraid that it's a stereotype (together with other stereotypes that Swedes are all blond, blue-eyed and promiscuous). There aren't any more beautiful women here than anywhere else (although beauty comes from the inside...). Of course, that isn't saying that there are plenty, no, a multitude of attractive women...:ohhlala: You're more than welcome to come and visit Sweden (btw, you're British, right?). On a side note, there are plenty of people from other cultures who have immigrated or fled to Sweden, so we aren't quite as homogeneous as we used to be.

[Jedi Master Harrison]

Man, I hope appreciating beautiful women (I agree beauty does radiate from the inside, but it is also on the outside, as well as being in the eye of the beholder :wink:) isn't chauvanistic otherwise I'm the worst pig of them all! :lol:

I was half expecting that answer, I thought it was just a stereotpye as a couple of my mates have visited Sweden and said it is pretty much the same as any other country in terms of women, their hair colour and how they look. So I guess that agrees with your comment regarding homogeneity.

Myself, I like women that are naturally pretty and so don't need much make up. I've been to maybe 10 countries in the World (not a lot I know) and I think so far the Polish girls are the most beautiful, they just all look like really nice girls and are very natural and dress nicely but more conservatively than English girls. Maybe I'm just getting old though. :)

You are correct, I am English and I hope I will get to come to Sweden one day. From what I have heard it is a great country to either visit or live in. Though the suicide rate during the long dark winter is a bit daunting!

I hate to point it out, but that's another myth.:P Sweden ranks pretty far down in the suicide table and even though some people are a little more depressed in the winter, the mood usually swings in spring. And the winter isn't as long as one might think. Sweden is a large country (by area). Up in the northern parts of the country (which isn't very populated) which lies inside the polar circle, there's polar night for a few weeks time (when the sun stay below the horizon), but here in the Stockholm area, the shortest day when the sun is above the horizon is about six hours long. Further south it's about an hour longer.

So it appears. I was sure that I had seen stats to prove it, but they must have been loaded as I have just googled it and considering 100 countires worldwide; Sweden was 29th, Australia 32nd, USA 45th, UK 59th. The rate is unbelievably high in the Russian (inc. ex-USSR) states. Plus many more males seem to commit suicide than females, how bizarre. Anyway, this has depressed me so much I'm off to top myself. :nahnah: :bye:

[Sarah-Leia]

Number 1. Is Howzat a cricket reference? Sorry.

Number 2. Did Australia win the Ashes? Yes, I am serious because I don't know!

[Jedi Master Harrison]

Aha! Now I have evidence to use against other Senators that the Aussies don't all like cricket! :sly:

When the bowler has bowled the ball and he and/or his teammates think there is a reason why the batsmen may be out (be it LBW, catch after a flick off bat/part of the batsmens body etc.) they will all cry 'Howzat?' asking the umpire whether the batsmen is out. It is basically to put as much pressure on the umpire as possible, the louder the cry, the more players that do it, the more likely it is that the umpire will give it out, within reason.

I'm afraid after being 2-0 up Australia capitulated and lost the Ashes 3-2. Oh, no, sorry, that was a dream I had. OK already! You won, just. Sneaked a 5-0 victory. But ha! You don't appreciate it which is good! :nahnah:

Bring on the snooker world championship. :wink:

So, my northern hemishere friends...Still enjoying winter?

[Master Magnus]

So, my northern hemishere friends...Still enjoying winter?
Yes. We haven't had much in terms of winter here in my parts of Sweden. Before yesterday we've only had snow on the ground for two days this season, but it yesterday we had about 10-15 centimeters of snow and it continued to snow this morning. However, it's only -2°C outside.

[Obi-Stu]

It's been so hot here lately. it's 9pm, and I'm about to dive in the swiming pool outside...
