Guy Fawkes Day is a British Holiday, were they would burn Guy Fawkes in effigy and stuff like that. I don't think it is really that important of a holiday anymore, but some of our members from the UK might be able to correct me if I'm wrong.




Guy Fawkes Day - or 'Bonfire Night' as it seems to be increasingly better known as - still attracts large crowds to organised bonfire and firework displays. The dressing a guy up (aka 'penny for the guy') isn't that popular anymore.

I suppose the actual day still a popular event on the calendar - but doubt many people could actually tell the story of what the whole thing is about. It certainly isn't taught in history in schools - probably be offensive to those who like going around blowing things up

Not that funny, but made me chuckle a bit...


10 Ways To Freak Out Your Flatmate:-



10) Collect potatoes. Paint faces on them and give them names. Name one after your flatmate. Separate your flatmate's potato from the others. Wait a few days, and then bake your flatmate's potato and eat it. Explain to your flatmate, saying 'He just didn't belong'

9) Move everything to one side of the room. Ask your flatmate if he knows how much an elephant weighs, and look at the floor on the empty side of the room with concern.

8.Cool Draw a tiny black line on your nose. Make it bigger every day. Look at it and say, 'the hair, it's growing. Growing!'

7) Buy some knives. Sharpen them every night. While you're doing so, look at your flatmate and mutter, 'Soon, soon...'

6) Collect hundreds of pens and pile them on one side of the room. Keep one pencil on the other side of the room. Laugh at the pencil.

5) Tell your flatmate, 'I've got an important message for you.' Then pretend to faint. When you recover, say you can't remember what the message was. Later on, say, 'Oh, yeah, I remember!' Pretend to faint again. Keep this up for several weeks.

4) While your flatmate is out, glue your shoes to the ceiling. When your flatmate walks in, sit on the floor, hold your head, and moan.

3) Make a sandwich. Don't eat it, leave it on the floor. Ignore the sandwich. Wait until your flatmate gets rid of it, and then say, 'Hey, where the f**k is my sandwich!?' Complain loudly that you are hungry.

2) Every time your flatmate walks in yell, 'Hooray! You're back!' as loud as you can and dance around the room for five minutes. Afterwards, keep looking at your watch and saying, 'Shouldn't you be going somewhere?'

1) Talk back to your Rice Krispies. All of a sudden, act offended, throw the bowl on the floor and kick it. Refuse to clean it up, explaining, 'No, I want to watch them suffer.'

^ superb stuff

Who says you can't get a good education these days?




A guy goes to the supermarket and notices a beautiful blonde woman wave at him and say 'hello'.

He's rather taken aback, because he can't place where he knows her from.

So he says, "Do you know me?"

To which she replies, "I think you're the father of one of my kids."

Now his mind travels back to the only time he has ever been unfaithful to his wife and says,

"My God, are you the stripper from my bachelor party that I laid on the pool table, with all my buddies

watching, while your partner whipped my butt with wet celery and I then shagged senseless?"

She looks into his eyes and calmly says, "No... I'm your son's maths teacher."





A teacher asks her class, "If there are 5 birds sitting on a fence and you shoot one of them, how many will be left?" She calls on little Johnny.

"None, they all fly away with the first gunshot."

The teacher replies, "The correct answer is 4, but I like your thinking."

Then Little Johnny says, "I have a question for YOU. There are three women sitting on a bench having ice cream. One is delicately licking the sides of the triple scoop of ice cream. The second is gobbling down the top and sucking the cone. The third is biting off the top of the ice cream. Which one is married?"

The teacher, blushing a great deal, replies, "Well I suppose the one that's gobbled down the top and sucked the cone."

"The correct answer is the one with the wedding ring on... but I like your thinking."

MagFan - will you be changing the line 'the droids HAVE been neutralised' to 'the droid ARE being neutralised' - just a really small nitpick as the fight is still going between the Jedi and droids when the drone on the bridge of the ship makes his statement ot the Viceroy.

Also, perhaps the line 'The Jedi have have triggered an alarm in the ventilation shaft' instead of 'they have triggered an alarm in the ventilation shaft' ?

and instead of 'that won't stop them' maybe the line 'that will not stop them' when Viceroy's mate refers to the Destroyers not being able to keep the Jedi from the Bridge ?


^ just an idea mate - am looking forward to seeing your latest work

Where does your screen name come from?

Oh I really do miss that game. I haven't really played video games since the N64 era, so I haven't experienced any of the new stuff that is out there. But I really get annoyed when people laugh when Goldeneye is mentioned and say things that is such an old game or, oh yeah, I remember we used to play that all the time. It was so cheesy. It makes me feel like beating them over the head with my cane.

As for my screen name, I used to read a lot of Dark Horse's Star Wars comics. There was one issue of Droids that did the cliched evil-twin-swap story line. C3-P0 gets mistaken for a renegade assasin proticol droid named C3-PX.



I'm sad to say that none of the Bond games since then have come anywhere near it - Perfect Dark was the closest thing to a worthy successor - but even that was on the N64 - many years ago...

Some of the 007 efforts have been to be blunt, embarassing at worst - bland at best.

If only they'd do a straight remake of GoldenEye for the next gen consoles - upped up the framrate and maybe put some extras and more screens & missions on it etc - but keep the actual game and its superb gameplay intact



Cool signame btw

mine was taken a from a long time ago when I was pretty good at GoldenEye on the N64 - and so a few mates put the 'oo' (havn't a clue why it wasn't '00') and my first name together and that was that - illiterate souls the lot of them

That game kicked serious ass

beating the Train level on 007 difficulty was a breeze - though still got a buzz every time it was completed - sad eh?
