    Not quite that, but my family have lived in the same house for over 15 years now. I moved out after about 14.5, though I'm still there pretty regularly.

    Oh, it is. I mentioned my hypocrisy, actually. I just figure hearing it from two (anonymous but likely different; I used better grammar, a wider vocabulary and all caps) sources is more believable than just one.

    Plus, I figure it'll be enough of a head-scratcher figuring out who sent the all-caps message that I'll have amusement for a while using that persona. I've already started shrouding my involvement by insulting myself.
    I love using the anonymous option.

    EDIT: This doesn't invalidate me for placing more emphasis on the "bastard" than the "magnificent", right? I'd like to keep my plans for universe domination untainted by something like the expectation of mercy or kindness.

    My reading list for next term is going to be expensive. But moderately awesome.

    Got to spend some three and a bit hours chatting with mum and Eldest Uncle of All, learnt so much. About many many things.
    Oh, and my new bed was really good. I mean really good. Fantastic night's sleep once I got used to it.

    The weather continues surprisingly warm and fine. Am going to be out later this evening.
    Or possibly in about half an hour as Little Brother has gotten into heavy metal and thrash metal. And it's audible through walls and ceilings.

    On houses: I have been in my current residence for seven and a half years (not counting the intervals of several months during which I've left). All told, I've inhabited thirteen houses, eight towns/cities, four US states, and three countries.

    Clearly you have not left the one-third of the state that actually gets rain, i.e., the West Side. You are thus discounting Central, Southern, and Eastern Oregon. I have never lived on the West Side and am thus enormously displeased when people assume that the state is green, verdant, and wet. Not the Oregon I know and love!

    It is 'England' in Spanish. We also have Gales (Wales), Escocia (Scotland), and Irlanda (Ireland). The UK is (according to my dictionary, because I had to look it up) Reino Unido, or RU. Which makes sense, because Reino Unido means, well, United Kingdom.

Back when there were only three kids, each of us got our own, my parents had one, and we had a guest room. But now there are five of us (including cycoris) and therefore there is no guest bedroom. Riss has the purple room, whuch used to be mine (that happened while I was gone), I'm in the old guest bedroom/playroom (which is, amusingly, the largest of the rooms), oldest brother has the yellow room, two younger brothers share the blue room, and my parents have the crooked room/library (it really is crooked, one wall has a jink in it, and it's really long and thin...but there are tons of built-in shelves overflowing with books, so it's also the library).

    That's rather a lot.
    Although Law Friend has lived (because of her dad's work) in many places, Malaysia, Nigeria, another African country whose name I've forgotten, India, Inglaterra, several other places . . .
    She travelled a lot.

    I thought it was new and snazzy. But I shall steal it anyway! Besides, it sounds better than Angleterre. I also like Escocia, but I prefer Cymru.

    I think my dad explained it to me best. Italy is one of the premier soccer (Sorry, Football) playing nations in the world. New Zealand doesn't even have it's own national league. The fact that they tied with Italy is a pretty big deal.

    To put it in perspective, it's like a no-name author whose only published work is a dietary tip in Parade Magazine tying with oh, say, Terry Pratchett for England's greatest author award.

    I don't know. They seem to be talking about one of those sports not to the American taste, which is to say that it has goals and only goals as a measure of progress. We prefer sports with sub-divisions of accomplishments. The American football ("handegg", "armpit ball", etc.) field is the same size as the here-there-be-dragons football field, but has every yard marked plainly so we can see advancement in every minute. Basketball has the 24-second shot clock. Baseball has the advancement of bases and an orgy of secondary statistics. (Hockey hasn't the same punctuation of pace as the other sports. We're only putting up with it until someone invents a different winter team-based sport.)

    Actually I rather like sports as mindless TV background noise. Documentaries can annoy when slanted, and news can annoy when intruding upon me and mine, but sports has the clean factual content and the irrelevance which means I can relegate it to mindless background noise. Win-win!

    I suppose it's unusual, but it's still annoying. And given the trend for good teams (or so they say) to be beaten by bad teams (as they call them) or drawn, I wouldn't be surprised if [insert underdog here] won.

    I would, since the underdog who most readily come to mind are, well, us. And everyone knows England never win these things.

    It's made me realise just how disillusioned I am with advertising. I mean, how can you even make the viewer think that your product is better unless your product is:
    a) a picture/video
    b) a sound
    c) both?

    YOU CANNOT ADVERTISE PERFUME. Please, companies, stop trying. I don't need a man running down an empty street in black and white to persuade me to buy your perfume, I need it to smell nice. If I'm out to purchase some new perfume (which is admittedly unlikely) I'm not going to go into a shop and say "Oh hey, that's the perfume that had the great advertisment on TV! The one in black with the man who was topless and all the silk." I'm going to go into a shop and say "Oh hey, perfume! Let's smell them all and choose which one I like the smell of most (if it's within my price range)." Similarly, I'm not going to go to the shops and buy some food because the people having a barbecue on the advert looked like they were enjoying themselves, I'm going to buy it because I happen to like the particular food and I'm definitely not going to be phoning British Gas to change my electricity provider because their pseudo-people in that awful "drawn body, photographed head" animation style are playing goshdarned football. Yes, I know it's "thematic", but it has nothing to do with utilities. I'd be fine if they were advertising, say, a football school and they showed people playing football, but they are advertising FLAMMABLE GAS THAT GETS PIPED TO YOU SO YOU CAN EAT HOT FOOD AND STAY WARM.

    There's one particularly bizarre advert which shows football in slow motion, and then suddenly declares "If only everything stopped as quickly as tyres from Continental". The contrast was hilarious.

    A good deal of marketing and PR is designed to change how you perceive a product, not how you rate it.

    Now that we shower every day with good soap and use good detergent on our clothes, humans don't smell anywhere near as bad as they did many years ago. Yet, people still buy perfume because they think it's romantic rather than just primitive deodorant.

    Diamonds are only valuable because everyone thinks they are. It's really just run by a cartel.

    I know, and that's part of why I'm so disillusioned. It's all a sham, really. They're not trying to get you to think their product's the best because of its merits, they're just trying to get you to think of their product.

    No sense griping about it. You're not their target demographic and they've written you off years ago.

    All you can really do is to buy what you actually like and hope that it decreases their sales, and thus their advertising budgets.

    Ugh. Not the American Football/Association Football discussion again...
    It never ends well, and threads have been locked (I believe) because of it.

    Just leave it alone. Different people have different preferences, and the naming of a sport doesn't matter. Hell, Rugby's full name is Rugby Football, but people tend to forget that, and there's not a whole lot of kicking of the ball in Rugby Football either.
    Also, Aussie Rules Football involves a lot of running about with the ball as well, but noone racks down on that. Kind of weird, isn't it?


    I need to put my feet in a tub of cold water now. Been running about reffing a football game today. My burnt arms from yesterday didn't like being out in the sun much today.

    I wasn't playing. I was officiating.
    And it was American Football. In Scotland.

    On advertising, I do find the majority of adverts get much worse once you find out what they're advertising.
    "'But there's still such a lot to be done...'
    YES. THERE ALWAYS IS."
