And the plebs use Autumn, Spring, and Summer.
Most English universities (and by "most", I of course mean "mine") have four terms and two semesters. If you go to a plebby non-Oxbridge uni like I do, they generally refer to the terms, rather originally, as Winter, Spring, Summer and Autumn, and they're about 3 months each. Undergraduates are generally on holiday for the Summer term from June-Sep, (which is presumably why its sometimes not counted as a term), but sadly I can assure you that postgraduates are not. Semesters are longer and usually represent an academic period, finishing with the period of exams/coursework deadlines.

I'm sure you wouldn't feel the same way once you'd heard me talk.

Nah, it was just a superfluous typo/being stupid on my part. At least I think so. It works if you just remove the comma, so it's not a comma splice. Maybe?
Eh, but some British accents are horrible! Or at least no better than the accents of other places. Try listening to the Essex accent for a while. *shudder*

It would be awful to become British for the pretty accents and then find yourself talking Essex, or Mancunian, or Estury...

Well, you people can prove yourselves in the right by posting voice clips...
What? :smallconfused:

Heheheh. What do you do if you think you've run over an Essex lad?

Reverse to make sure?
What do Essex kids use for sex protection?

Bus shelters!
How do Essex girls get pregnant?

Jeez, and you thought Essex girls were stupid. :smallsigh:

Quite.
Well, has anyone else had recent problems accessing the forums? (Like last 20 minutes recent)

Re: TwoBitWriter's Tubular Tracts of Thought-Talking Random Banter #111
The site's been a bit slow for me off and on for the past week. I had some more trouble accessing it last night for me. (say, about... 8 hours ago... yeah, let's just say I somehow got 8 hours of sleep... 11-3= 8. Wow. I actually did get 8 hours of sleep. In that case, let's go with about 10 hours ago)
Sometimes I even have to click the link's twice to actually have it start loading properly. I'm certain that this is just a result of my internet plebian status not having found a way to rectify such browserly difficulties.

Re: TwoBitWriter's Tubular Tracts of Thought-Talking Random Banter #111
Well, about 30 minutes ago I couldn't access any part of the playground, I couldn't get to the comics, I couldn't even get to the homepage.

Re: TwoBitWriter's Tubular Tracts of Thought-Talking Random Banter #111
That might be a problem with your computer. It's been fine for me. Although, sometimes Gitp is the only site on the entire internet I can get to. So it works fine, but no pictures that are elsewhere, like avatars.

I tried diagnosing the problem (I have IE not Firefox) and it said that my Windows Firewall was blocking it, even though it has never done that before.
Strange.

Re: TwoBitWriter's Tubular Tracts of Thought-Talking Random Banter #111
Nah, there have been some conection issues with me too. Every now and then GitP, my homebase on the internet, needs to pay me ransom or I constrict the tubes. Unfortunatly it affects me, as well.
EDIT: Also, Happy You week!

Re: TwoBitWriter's Tubular Tracts of Thought-Talking Random Banter #111
A while ago, someone posted a link that made what you typed become h4x0r-sp33k. It was obnoxious, and hilarious. Anyone know the link? :smallconfused:

In that case, it's a delightfully Japanese horror movie, so you should see it if you can stand japanese horror at all. I wasn't going to watch it since I wasn't really feeling like a movie at the time, but, hey, it drew me in. And then we laughed about how badly people need to know about salting and burning bodies.
Edit: Happy New You! Err... Happy You Week!

So. Which one of you hit me in the head with a sack of bricks before I woke up? 'Cos that's what my head feels like right now. It must have been one of you guys... meanies. @.@

Check for two pin pricks somewhere on your skull, close together. One taser shot last night missed Cristo. Never found out where it landed. :smallconfused:

Well, I'm too nice to use bricks.
Now if you had said, who hit me in the head with a giant marshmallow before I woke up then that could've been me.

I only use cinderblocks or crowbars. It's a manner of principle.

SUUUuuuuuuure you are. *points at all the lacerations from yesterday* Hmmmm???
GitP is a tasty treat for interweb sharks, that's why it disappears occasionally. It later regurgitated for it's just too sweet. Looks like the shipping thread saves the day again.

Those lacerations where because of my dark side resurfacing itself, I had to surpress it with mindless and virtual violence, you were the nearest target. Right now, my dark side is content with playing scrabble in my brain, unfortunately, I have to tell him that Destroyinate, Murderify and Ripfasmagorical are not words.

*comes in practically in tears*
I hate these pills!
I took them, went to bed after an hour like I'm meant to and was still awake at five am! Then I fell asleep and could not be woken up until four pm. And I feel so sleepy, I just want to go to bed.
I hate side effects. I hope so much that they'll go away soon.
And I'm going to bed at eleven tonight.
Being up seven hours.
Maaaaaaaa . . .
Hugs?
