[Star Worms]

Getting the internet and stuff is taking ages, and is going to be expensive, which is why I've been off for a few weeks and probably will be for another couple.

[worMatty]

I'm off to Manvers in Rotheram, South Yorkshire for five days on Monday the 29th to help out at Maplin's new warehouse in Brookfields Way. I doubt I'll have 'net access, but I'll occasionally go in #worms on GameSurge via my mobile.

See you all soon!

[Akuryou13]

I'm not off anywhere, but I figure I'd post here, so I can keep tabs on who is :p

[AndrewTaylor]

Tuesday to sunday next week. Visiting a friend.

What the hell am I posting this for?

[worMatty]

I'm back a day early. Hello.

[thomasp]

I'm back a day early. Hello.
Lucky you :p

[Pigbuster]

I was gone a while. No reason, really.

Actually, yes, there was a reason. That reason was Phoenix Wright.

[Pickleworm]

Not sure if anyone cares but I won't be here this weekend.

[thomasp]

Not sure if anyone cares but I won't be here this weekend.
By the looks of things, neither will the rest of us :p

(or rather, neither were the rest of us...)

[Akuryou13]

Not sure if anyone cares but I won't be here this weekend.A CONFESSION! you wrecked the forum on purpose! :mad:

[Melon]

I'm going home in under an hour, where I'm working over Christmas. Unfortunately, I don't have internet access (actually, that's not strictly true, we have unlimited broadband, but it doesn't mean I'm allowed to use it :p) so I'll see you all some time around January 3rd.

Merry Christmas to you all.

[Melon]

My going away for Christmas and having no internet seems to be going well eh? :p

Although I start work on the 22nd, and it'll be harder to steal internet when I'm not home alone during the day.

[Paul.Power]

Going to Manchester to see my grandparents.

I'll be back either on the 5th or the 6th, depending on weather.

[Pigbuster]

I went on a trip last weekend.

...this would've been helpful to post BEFORE I went, wouldn't it?

Nah, no problem with my time machine.
I will have had gone back in time to have been going to note it down in my calendar.

[Pigbuster]

I haven't really felt the need to come back to this forum ever since my harddrive died on me (http://pigbuster.deviantart.com/journal/16519288/).

We'll see.

[Akuryou13]

well apparently my internet decided I was taking a vacation from the forums. I'm back now though :p

[Akuryou13]

Braaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawl!!!

[Squirminator2k]

I fly off to England tomorrow evening, although I'll have my laptop on me so I expect I'll still be online in some capacity. I'll be meeting Paul and Euan on Saturday, and possibly Pooka and Andrew. In fact anyone who fancies turning up to the Uk Web & Mini Comix Thing. Come down, buy a comic, and chat for a bit. I'll have donuts.

[Paul.Power]

Fort William, Scotland.

See you all a week Saturday.

[Paul.Power]

Aaaand back.

I'm going to camp for, like, a month. I should be back like the 27th (of july). I might still be able to post every now and then but it's not going to be super regular.

I'm not sure why exactly I'm posting this since people should be getting used to my regular huge disappearances :p

[Paul.Power]

No sooner am I back from Scotland, I'm off to Manchester to see my grandparents.

Back Sunday.

[Paul.Power]

Okay, turns out I'm back Saturday. Never mind.

[SupSuper]

First time posting something relevant in this thread, that can't be good. :p

This Sunday I'm gonna be out for two weeks. Away from the Internet. Away from a computer. Away from... civlization.

[Paul.Power]

Oh no, who am I going to discuss random nonsense with?

... geez, I might even get something productive done *shudder*.

Anyway, yeah, have fun :).

[Squirminator2k]

I suppose I should tell you that I more or less went away for Comic-Con, but I'm back now.

[philby4000]

I was away now I'm not.

[Akuryou13]

I was away now I'm not.you fail at using this thread. :p

[philby4000]

In that case I'll be away again and at some point I'll be back.

[Squirminator2k]

Tomorrow morning I'll be hopping on a train to San-Diego for the weekend. Friday night a bunch of us are going out for Michelle's birthday bash (karaoke followed by late night Rock Band, so suffice to say there will be a lot of singing). I'll be back late on Sunday.

[Pickleworm]

Tell Michelle I wish her a happy birthday

[MrBunsy]

I'm off up north early tommorow morning, so shan't be around for a couple of weeks.

Ta-ra.

[Blinx]

I'm off to the Reading Festival from today until next monday.

[Squirminator2k]

Oh, I'm back by the way.

[SomePerson]

I'm going to be visiting the grandparents from saturday to about wednesday

[AndrewTaylor]

Monday-Friday at a conference in Edinburgh. Probably will be online, but not here (you know, because I'm here so much normally these days).

[Akuryou13]

a friend of mine ran into this while searching for naruto items on some japanese retail website. that is a vibrating hello kitty personal massager....yes, that's real and no I'm not kidding, it really is a "personal massager".

I'm totally buying her one of those for her upcoming birthday :D and she's going to hang me for it :D

[SupSuper]

I guess you better get her these (http://sweartoshakeitup.wordpress.com/2007/11/18/why-hellllooo-thuuuurr-kitty/) afterwards to make up for it.

[Akuryou13]

yep. just noticed this topic should've been in the 100% offtopic thread. though it being here has a morbid sort of hilarity that I'm fine with :D

[Akuryou13]

Hurricane Gustav is looking like it'll hit louisiana. if it does and if it's category 4 or 5 I'm out of here. could be gone anything from a day to a couple weeks depending on where it hits and how big it is.

it doesn't look like it's supposed to hit until tuesday but there's no telling with a hurricane, so I'm giving you guys advance warning just in case. if I disappear for a while, that's why.

[Paul.Power]

I'm off on a weekend minibreak thing in Warwick for... well, a weekend.

[MrBunsy]

*pop*

Back.

[Akuryou13]

hurricane's most likely predicted path sets the eye landing on my doorstep at about tuesday morning. the rest of the storm will arrive on monday some time.

either way, it's over jamaica right now and it's already a category 3 storm, so I'm headed out. it looks like my home area will get the storm surge side of the storm, and since I'm a decent ways in-land that means my house should be fine, but either way I'm headed out to mississippi for the duration. with any luck I'll be back by next weekend and my house will be fine, but either way I'll be gone for a few days at least. probably 2 weeks at most. if my house goes down in the storm then I have no idea how long I'll be out :p but hopefully that won't happen, so I'll plan to be back this weekend.

is homeowners' insurance more expensive in hurricane-prone areas

[Akuryou13]

is homeowners' insurance more expensive in hurricane-prone areasnot at all. if your home gets damaged in a hurricane they just claim that the damage was done by either wind or water, whichever you don't have insurance for. they also offer an optional hurricane insurance, but that conveniently doesn't include flood insurance, so if any actual damage is recieved they then say it was the flooding, not the actual storm. and storm surge also counts as flooding, somehow.

they're fun like that....

well that's some bıtches. also gustav missed new orleans for the most part, so there's something to be happy about

[Akuryou13]

lol, it pounded new orleans pretty badly as far as water goes, but the whole damn storm was a waste of time. wasn't a thing worth mentioning. I would've been actually better off staying home than evacuating. there was less rain here :-/

oh well. back now.

I'm off on holiday for a week as of tomorrow. Don't spam the place up too much while I'm gone :p

I'll be in Manchester from the 1st to the... whatever date Tuesday is.

Might be able to leech next door's connection a bit, I dunno :p.

What for? Don't s'pose you'll be going through Chester will you?

[Xinos]

How cold is it where you live? It must be a real pain to lose power in the winter like that.

[Akuryou13]

How cold is it where you live? It must be a real pain to lose power in the winter like that.are you aware that was 4 months ago? it was still nearly hot enough to be summer at the time.

[bonz]

But does it actually get really cold in winter at the Gulf of Mexico?

[Akuryou13]

But does it actually get really cold in winter at the Gulf of Mexico?well it snowed this year for the first time in 20. that should be indication enough.

granted, 40 F here is like those pansies in nothern US's 10 F due to the unbelievable amounts of moisture in the air here.

[FutureWorm]

Haha we're pansies in the northern u.s.... got -25F with wind chill the other night :cool:

[Akuryou13]

what the hell are you talking abouthe was asking if it got really cold. I said that it only get to about 40F on average, really, but that 40F here feels significantly colder than it does up north. I kinda left it up to him to decide whether that would be considered cold or not.

Haha we're pansies in the northern u.s.... got -25F with wind chill the other night :cool: ok, you're a bit further north than I was referring :p

[FutureWorm]

he was asking if it got really cold. I said that it only get to about 40F on average, really, but that 40F here feels significantly colder than it does up north

i really, really don't understand how that works, but whatever

[Akuryou13]

i really, really don't understand how that works, but whateverit's ridiculously wet here. 40F in the drier areas of the northern US is fairly comfortable to my understanding. here, it's very nearly painfully cold. 30F here actually hurts, where as cold doesn't actually bite that much until much colder in the drier areas of the northern US.

now, places immediately around the great lakes would be an exception I imagine (though obviously I don't actually know), as they would also be pretty moist and would get much colder than we do here to boot. the rest of the northern US, though, would be fairly dry.

none of this, for the record, is based on personal experience, but rather the experiences of family and friends who have gone up north and commented on how ridiculously wet the air is down here. my only experience is when it snowed for a couple hours and the 30-something degrees it was here started to actually be comfortable with only a light jacket for a while.

[AndrewTaylor]

I will be at a computer; that's why I'm there. I'm sure there'll be wifi also. It's free time that will be at a premium, and I'm unlikely to spend it on here.

[Xinos]

I'm going to Italy on Wednesday (17'th) and will be gone for two weeks! Going to the island of Sardinia with my family (fish puns are obligatory).
There will be no internet at the hotel, but rumor has it that there's an internet cafe that I'll probably visit once or twice to check my email.

My mom is bringing her laptop for some reason, despite the lack of convenient internet. So I've dumped my Fallout saves on my WD Passport and I've also got Chinatown Wars on my DS. So I should survive this trip.

[AndrewTaylor]

Not once the Delhi Belly kicks in, that's for sure. ;)

Cunningly went to the south where the food is totally different.

[BetongÅsna]

Isn't it crazy hot down there? Food and weather-wise?

[Akuryou13]

will be without internet for what will likely be a fair amount of time. at least a week, most likely.

I'm moving back in with my mom, who doesn't have internet atm, so I'll have to set something up there. hopefully we can figure something out quickly, but most internet things that I know of take a week to activate.

I'll be moving either tonight or tomorrow, for reference.

[Xinos]

I'm back! And it's just as damn warm here as it was in Italy (30 degrees).

It was a nice vacation, and I never felt compelled to visit the internet cafes that were about. Well, except for the second day there when my dad dropped his wallet in an old church we checked out, so I had to go online for ten minutes and find the number to the banks to disable his credit cards, but no internet other than that! And luckily the wallet was found and returned, by the priest. So, make sure to loose your wallet in a church if you ever feel the urge to do so.

Other than that it was an exhausting trip really, swiming in the ocean every day makes you tired (and salty). We saw some neat old caves and ruins, a town built by Mussolini, another by Julius Caesar, a rock where some guy named Joe once sat on and had lunch. Things like that. And a lot of progress was made in various games I brought, but because I kept switching between them none got finished. Oh well.

[MtlAngelus]

Dropping your wallet in a church is the worst idea ever actually. You just got lucky. :p

[Akuryou13]

I'm back! And it's just as damn warm here as it was in Italy (30 degrees).30?! OH NOES! come live down here. been hitting 38-40 here most days.

are churches home to all sorts of riff-raff where you're from or something?

[Vader]

Churches (and religion in general) lie to the masses and reap the financial benefits, usually while molesting a choir boy.

It's all one big scam run by the Pope.

[Paul.Power]

Off to the Scottish Highlands for a week with my family. See you! :)

[AndrewTaylor]

There was actually a study that proved religious people are less honest than atheists.

They put an 'honesty box' thing, watched people, checked if they paid the proper amount for the newspaper, then had them fill in a survey. They didn't know the newspaper was anything to do with the survey. The religious people were more likely to under-pay. Basically theists are thieves.

Also, the US atheist population is lower in prison than it is in the general populace.

I'm not sure how much of this is just because honesty and intelligence tend to correlate.

[Akuryou13]

I'm not sure how much of this is just because honesty and intelligence tend to correlate.lol, I really want to argue this point of yours, but I really can't come up with anything besides petty argument.

I'm tagging along with my parents on a holiday. Ever since my sister moved overseas, they've got the travel bug. This time we're going to Orlando, with brief stays in Honolulu and Los Angeles.those are some VERY different travel destinations!

[bloopy]

LA is a necessary stop based on how far planes fly, and Honolulu is kinda "on the way" and I'd like to see it.

I've also booked an overnight trip to Philadelphia to see a band I like. I figure if I'm in the country and they're touring, I better jump at the opportunity. Here's hoping Philly doesn't get snowed in when I wanna land there.

Just got back, spent the weekend in a cabin with the family in a nearby area called Mesa Del Oso (http://www.mesadeloso.com/).
The place is gorgeous.

I'll be going to Zürich for about 2 weeks in June. Perhaps also a minor poke across the German border for a day.

I'm going around Sweden for about two weeks. Going up to Umeå (that's about 800 miles / 1300km) amongst other places. Should be fun.

My laptop has a 3g modem built in though, so I might internets anyway.

Retroactively, same again back in August 2011.

Just over four months and I'll go again, I think.
