It's 2008...

[HuntaKilla]

...right...NOW! HAPPY NEW YEAR WOOOO!
I WIN! In your face MtlAngelus :cool: :p

[Melon]

Haha. Due to the time zone difference, it's still 1PM here :rolleyes:

Meh, Happy New Year to everyone anyway. Might as well say it now because I'll forget later.

[Plasma]

As far as I'm concerned, a forum's time and date is dependant on the timezone of the server, not the timezone of the user.

[Splapp]

Wahaha, happy new year! What's 2008 like? :-/

[Shadowmoon]

Hell, its not 2008 till tommorow!:rolleyes: you only create a Happy New year thread when the date arrives. Duh!:p

[thomasp]

Hell, its not 2008 till tommorow!:rolleyes: you only create a Happy New year thread when the date arrives. Duh!:p
Which it has for HuntaKilla, as she's based in Australasia, which is eleven hours ahead of Greenwich mean time.

[Shadowmoon]

Which it has for HuntaKilla, as she's based in Australasia, which is eleven hours ahead of Greenwich mean time.

Oh! didn't know that.

[Pyramid]

Over here is 01 pm too
But i don't give a crap since New Year's eve it's just another common day to me

[TeDdywoRm]

Arrghh..I sometimes hated New Year's Eve because many people here get injured(And killed.Maybe.)due to the fact that we use firecrackers when embracing the New Year.

[poninja]

its 8:39 in here anyway Happy New Year?

[yauhui]

HA! I'm in 2008 and you're still in 2007! :o

[Pickleworm]

Over here is 01 pm too
But i don't give a crap since New Year's eve it's just another common day to me

Hahaha cool you're like the new liketyspli or something

Happy noon on Dec 31st, anyway.

[Liketyspli]

Hahaha cool you're like the new liketyspli or something
New? The old one still does its job... and I don't get it... :(

[Shadowmoon]

Well, too everyone who is in 2008, happy 2008 future!;) but i am still stuck in 2007 sadly:mad:

[Reder8]

Yeah, well, I bet 2008s going to be even more dull and boring than 2007. Unlucky all of you who started the year of dullness that awaits the rest of us.

[MtlAngelus]

:( :( :( :(

[Shadowmoon]

Looks like Mtlangelus has been a victim of the dullness:D

[MtlAngelus]

Nop, still not new year. But HK stole my thread! :( :( :( :(

[Shadowmoon]

So your new years tommorow as well? Anyway in my timezone, its only 3 hours 3 minutes until its 2008!

[Reder8]

why does New Year start at 12:00 PM, when technically thats still New Years Eve. It should start at 12:01 PM.
Wait, is UK ahead of America?

[Plasma]

why does New Year start at 12:00 PM, when technically thats still New Years Eve. It should start at 12:01 PM.
Why would New Year start at midday?

Wait, is UK ahead of America?
In timezone? Yes.
In everything else? Yes.

[Shadowmoon]

Why would New Year start at midday?


In timezone? Yes.
In everything else? Yes.

Because 12:01 is technically, when a new day starts.

[Kelster23]

It's only 2:12 here.
I have a long ways to go!
Happy new years to you people on the other side of the world!

[Pyramid]

Hahaha cool you're like the new liketyspli or something

Happy noon on Dec 31st, anyway.

I don't get it:-/

[Diablo vt]

Happy new year to everyone already in 2008! Happy new year to everyone else who are still in 2007!

[Pigbuster]

Dang, it's only 2006 where I live. :-/

Damn those holes in space/time.

[Pyramid]

Now it's oficial
00:49 here

Happy new year..bla bla bla...the same ol' crap as always everybody!!!! :D

[poninja]

DAMIT!!! i need to wait 4 hours for 2008 :(

[SgtFusion]

Because 12:01 is technically, when a new day starts.

What you forgot is that midnight is designated as 12:00AM, not 12:00PM (which is noon).

It's still not new year's here in California, either. I still have to wait 1 hour and 40 minutes.

[MtlAngelus]

HoPPY NEW YEARS LOLOL.

[Akuryou13]

happy new years everyone on the central time zone!!

edit: 00:00 is when a day starts. learn military time and all problems are solved.

[farazparsa]

2:30 more hours in Canada. I hate you Aussies! You and your time machines!

[Akuryou13]

2:30 more hours in Canada. not true. the other side of canada is 4 hours ahead of you :p or is it 5?.....they have a stupid time zone on the end of canada....

[Pigbuster]

Happy 2045, everyone!


...wait... WHAT DID I JUST SAY!?
My god, the newspaper... it cannot be...

AKURYOU! WHAT YEAR IS THIS!?!?

[MtlAngelus]

Happy 2045, everyone!


...wait... WHAT DID I JUST SAY!?
My god, the newspaper... it cannot be...

AKURYOU! WHAT YEAR IS THIS!?!?
November 5, 1955. :eek:

[farazparsa]

10 minutes too late, but happy new year and all that crap.

[Shadowmoon]

Its 2008 here too!:D

[Zero72]

I don't see any flying cars yet. This year sucks.

[Shadowmoon]

Every single year sucks:mad:

[TeDdywoRm]

It looks like you two never get happy.

[Shadowmoon]

Yeah but come on, whats so special about 2008? it will be as dull as previous years.

[SgtFusion]

In 2008 we have all this cool futuristic technology, like flying cars etc. At least that's what people used to think a decade or two ago. Anyway....Happy New Year, everybody!! It's been 1st January 2008 for about two hours and nine minutes where I am.

[yauhui]

I don't see any flying cars yet. This year sucks.

Have you watched I, Robot? The Audi RSQ is floating.

[Zero72]

But that's a movie. I don't have a flying Audi now. Jeez. Get with the program, future!

[MtlAngelus]

But we have robot guitars now. :cool:

[Shadowmoon]

prove it then.

[Akuryou13]

THEY EXIST!!
http://www.howstuffworks.com/flying-car.htm

[Shadowmoon]

But there is no such thing as Robot Guitars, and that site is speculation. Totally made up garbage.

[MtlAngelus]

But there is no such thing as Robot Guitars.
Lol, n00b.

Wait for it....

P WNED! :cool:

[TeDdywoRm]

Ooooh..MtlAngelus wins!
Well, Shadowmoon, I guess he beated you again.

[Shadowmoon]

Ooooh..MtlAngelus wins!
Well, Shadowmoon, I guess he beated you again.

As usual.:(:(:(

[yauhui]

Well, at least flying trains exist.

Those which uses Maglev. Google it, don't ask here.

[bonz]

Oh! didn't know that.
Well, that's what the "NSW, Australia" in her location line suggests.
Did you actually believe that everyone lives in your timezone, or even in Swansea? :rolleyes:

Awww, the naive mind of a child. :)
(BTW, the easter bunny, the tooth fairy and Santa Clause don't exist. And Nicholas of Myra is long dead.)

[pieman280]

Happy new years everybody!:D

did anyone else see a guy break a world record on a motorcycle last night.:cool:

[kikumbob]

Well, at least flying trains exist Myus, they're called aeroplanes :p

Edit: happy 2008 teamsters&fans!

[Pyramid]

(BTW, the easter bunny, the tooth fairy and Santa Clause don't exist. And Nicholas of Myra is long dead.)

What do you mean with that? Easter bunny and Santa aren't real? I don't know what to believe in now :(

[Shadowmoon]

(BTW, the easter bunny, the tooth fairy and Santa Clause don't exist. And Nicholas of Myra is long dead.)

Child? i will be a teenager in april. I never knew that people had different times, but i knew that people in different countrys have different seasons. And also, i don't beleive in Santa Clause, or the Tooth fairy or the easter bunny, or ghosts. Your an adult, so you will obviously know more:rolleyes:
i did actually think that maybe she had different times to us, but i didn't know.

[Star Worms]

Child? i will be a teenager in april.Exactly...:-/

[MtlAngelus]

I never knew that people had different times
What do they actually teach you at school? :confused:

Edit: I mean seriously, you know the earth is round, and that we only have one sun right? How could it be midday in different sides of the world at the same time, witouth midday being dark? :s

[Shadowmoon]

Wales is different though. You see, in my school, the most important subjects are maths and welsh. I don't know much about education in america, but if you learnt it before me, then thats because the education is different. But no, i never knew.:-/
and a teenager is not a child btw. But what i do hate, is people telling me i have a naive mind. There's still a lot of things i haven't learned yet.

[Akuryou13]

and a teenager is not a child btw. But what i do hate, is people telling me i have a naive mind. There's still a lot of things i haven't learned yet.a teenager IS a child, just an older child. you stop being a child when you no longer think like a child. for some people, that doesn't happen until mid-forties :p

also, unless I'm mistaken, naive MEANS that there's still a lot of things you haven't learned yet....

[Shadowmoon]

you never learned to tell time?!

No, read again.:rolleyes:

Which is correct:rolleyes:

[Akuryou13]

No, read again. :rolleyes: you'll have to show me what it is I need to read again, because last I checked you simply said you weren't taught the same as americans are taught and because of that you didn't know there were time zones. I can't imagine a point in school where anyone would teach kids about time zones, other than the point where those kids are learning to tell time...

But i don't think like a child. :mad: the fact that you find it offensive that someone tells you that means that you do.

Which is correct:rolleyes:ok, so why were you saying it as if not knowing a lot of things is a defense against someone telling you you're naive?

[Shadowmoon]

Have you visited wales, have you been too a school in wales, No? didn't think so. I meant that i never knew countrys had different times.

the fact that you find it offensive that someone tells you that means that you do.

Well, thats my personality.:p

ok, so why were you saying it as if not knowing a lot of things is a defense against someone telling you you're naive?

Because technically, it is.:rolleyes:

[Akuryou13]

Have you visited wales, have you been too a school in wales, No? didn't think so. I meant that i never knew countrys had different times.well, last I checked Wales hasn't yet been occupied by ape men, so I assume human logic is still foremost there, but I guess I could be mistaken.

Well, thats my personality.exactly my point.

Because technically, it is.:rolleyes:ok, do YOU even know what you're talking about anymore? because you're agreeing that you disagree with what you agree with.

[Shadowmoon]

well, last I checked Wales hasn't yet been occupied by ape men, so I assume human logic is still foremost there, but I guess I could be mistaken.

Well, your not:rolleyes:

exactly my point.

ok, do YOU even know what you're talking about anymore? because you're agreeing that you disagree with what you agree with.

Saying that your Naive is a defense, actually. I am in Year 8, and you learn about Timezone and all that in Year 9. I have 3 years to go until i leave high school, so i have a lot to learn. Also don't make sarcastic jokes about wales:mad:

[thomasp]

I really should close this thread, but I'm hoping Paul will stop by and correct any irregularities about the Welsh education system.

As for being taught times in year 9 - I think I was taught that in about year 1, and geography in year 7 reinforced the timezone stuff. Although that was back in the days when Wales was part of the United Kingdom and had the same National Curriculum (bar a couple of minor differences) as the rest of the country.

[Shadowmoon]

In my school, we will learn about Timezones in Year 9, so the discussion about Welsh education is over.

[pilot62]

I don't think I ever learnt about timezones in school. It's something everyonewho's ever been to another country (and this includes hopping across the channel to France) should just know.

I'd suggest though, shadowmoon, that you stop posting in these threads, you seem to do nothing but derail them.

No i don't. What you don't understand is that i take things seriously, because i am a very serious person. Anyway, 2008! there's a lot of good films coming up, especially Jurrasic park IV.

[thomasp]

Anyway, 2008! there's a lot of good films coming up, especially Jurrasic park IV.
Oh god not another one. JP1 was good, JP2 was not as good, JP3 was dire - spot a pattern? And based on the current trend of "sequels to sequels" (with the exception of Bourne 3) are usually pretty awful and nowhere near as good as the first one.

I doubt I'll be watching JP4 - I'll stick to the classic original.

[Akuryou13]

No i don't.dude, look through the various threads you've posted in and count how many times that thread goes off on a conversation completely unrelated to the topic because of something you said. go and count. seriously.

What you don't understand is that i take things seriously, because i am a very serious person.being petty isn't the same as being serious...

Anyway, 2008! there's a lot of good films coming up, especially Jurrasic park IV.mother of god, why are they making another one?!

Seriously, it won't happen ever again:rolleyes:

mother of god, why are they making another one?!

Maybe because its quite popular? also, other films coming is another Indiana Jones film. Sometimes years can be as dull as watching paint dry, other times it can be great.

[Akuryou13]

Maybe because its quite popular? also, other films coming is another Indiana Jones film.yeah I'd heard about that one....I fear for anyone involved when it bombs...

[Star Worms]

I'd like to watch Harrison Ford run out of the way of a boulder with his zimmoframe (sp?)

and a teenager is not a child btw. But what i do hate, is people telling me i have a naive mind. There's still a lot of things i haven't learned yet.The most important subjects are whatever you think are the most important, not the school. If you want to be a mathematician, then maths will be important. If you want to be an author, English will be important. Secondly, what you learn isn't just in school, it's outside of school too. I think I learned about time zones in primary school, not sure if it was in school or not, but I remember it was about the invention of a clock to enable people on ships to know where they were on the Earth longitudinally.

A child is anyone under the age of 18, which is law and undeniable.

[Snipufin]

HA! I'm in 2008 and you're still in 2007! :o

Time Paradox!

[kikumbob]

yeah I'd heard about [the new indiana jones movie]....I fear for anyone involved when it bombs... I have hope for it yet. They know they're getting an old codger to do the lead role and they are bound to wrap the plot around that very concept.

I'd like to watch Harrison Ford run out of the way of a boulder with his zimmoframe (sp?) zimmerframe. And lol.

[philby4000]

Diehard 4 was actually pretty good, so I haven't lost faith in Indy 4 yet. I just hope George lucas stays the hell away from it.

Also, this counts as a ridiculous off-topic tangent started by something Shadowmoon said.:-/

[Pigbuster]

But that's a movie. I don't have a flying Audi now. Jeez. Get with the program, future!

They exist, they're built, and they work. They don't look like regular cars, though. They have helicopter blades and stuff, I think.
If people wanted to, flying cars could be on the market tomorrow.

...that'll never happen though. It'll be till 2020 or so until they've gone through the immense amount of testing required for it to happen, and even THEN it'll be given to cops and hospitals first.

But after all of that, you'd better believe you'll be able to buy a flying Audi. :cool:

This citation-less information is brought to you by my high school physics teacher.

But... that's not right... I am CERTAIN it is 2045...
OF COURSE! This forum... it must be our only means of communication through the space/time barrier!

[Xinos]

Well, at least flying trains exist.
No, they don't fly. They float above the track due to some very strong 'refrigerator' magnets.

But... that's not right... I am CERTAIN it is 2045...

That explains all the robot guitars and flying cars!

Yes, that would count as flying.

Could he be on another planet? Are you on Venus or something.

[SupSuper]

Yes, that would count as flying.Well then all we have to do is invent magnets that repell the Earth's magnetic force and we can make anything fly!

[farazparsa]

...sequels...are usually pretty awful and nowhere near as good as the first one.
Empire Strikes Back, The Godfather Part II (debatable), Terminator II, Evil Dead II: Dead by Dawn, Aliens... I could go on, but truth is there are more horrible sequels than good ones. (Way more.)

[Akuryou13]

Empire Strikes Back, The Godfather Part II (debatable), Terminator II, Evil Dead II: Dead by Dawn, Aliens... I could go on, but truth is there are more horrible sequels than good ones. (Way more.)well, thank you for being a pedantic ass hat and arguing a point you don't agree with. its people like you who make the world go round.

[robowurmz]

2007 had the most Trequels of all time in it. It had Spiderman 3, The Borne Ultimatum, POtC 3, Shrek the Third and a few more.

[*Splinter*]

2007 had the most Trequels of all time in it. It had Spiderman 3, The Borne Ultimatum, POtC 3, Shrek the Third and a few more.

Its most unplanned trequels of all time... (Dunno about Shrek and Bourne, but I know Spiderman, Pirates and God of War weren't considered as trilogies until their popularity became apparent... I'd assume Shrek at least also follows this pattern)

Also, one of those films is unbridled Awesome :cool:

[Akuryou13]

Dunno about Shrek and Bourne,not sure on shrek either, but I can tell ya bourne has quite a few books around, so that one was planned.

[Plasma]

IDunno about Shrek
I'm not sure about if sequels were planned at the making of the first movie, but I do know that they planned to have four movies in the trilogy while the second movie was in the works.

[Star Worms]

Four movies does not a trilogy make.

[Plasma]

Four movies does not a trilogy make.
Thanks, I was wondering if it did.
Then what do you call a series of four movies?

[SupSuper]

Quadrology?

[*Splinter*]

Four movies does not a trilogy make.

Unless you're Douglas Adams, in which case any amount is allowed. After all, who's going to argue with your enormous, psychotic fanbase?

Quadrology?

Quadrilogy

[Metal Alex]

I'm curious about something... How do you "welcome" the new year? I know every country has their tradition.

For example, here in Spain, we eat one grape on every stroke of the bell, making it 12 total... You have to be fast :p

[Rarsonic]

For example, here in Spain, we eat one grape on every stroke of the bell, making it 12 total... You have to be fast :p

...yet you have to try not to have an intoxication by swallowing the seeds... :p

Pretty fun, anyway.

[Plasma]

I'm curious about something... How do you "welcome" the new year? I know every country has their tradition.
Here, it's a countdown followed by a round of Auld Angs Seigh, or however that's spelt, followed by saying 'Go meirimid beo ar an aimse aris', which is Irish for 'May we be in good health at this time again'. Also, we leave... something... outside the front door. Can't remember what.
If you haven't already guessed, I don't follow traditions.

[Paul.Power]

The Welsh education system is the English one with Welsh slotted in. That's it really.

In my school, we will learn about Timezones in Year 9, so the discussion about Welsh education is over.Do you just not read books or something? You can learn about things before you're taught them in school, y'know.

[philby4000]

The hitchhiker's trillogy is nothing compaired to Robert Rankin's brentford trillogy.

Seven books last time I checked.

Quadrilogy
Wrong, the actual term is tetralogy.

Quadrilogy is a term invented by whoever put the Aliens boxset together.

Let's hear it for pedantry!

[Kelster23]

Whatever we feel like doing!
Last year (as in 2006>2007) I played Guitar Hero 2.
This year I wasn't even aware the year had changed and stayed up until 6 in the morning after finding out.

[farazparsa]

well, thank you for being a pedantic ass hat and arguing a point you don't agree with. its people like you who make the world go round.
Thank you for wasting precious space arguing a point that you aren't going to follow up on. Point is, he generalized sequels as being bad in general.

Hmm, at 12 it's traditional to sing Auld Lang Syne, but generally New Year's just an excuse for copious amounts of booze.

[philby4000]

Don't forget the party-poppers.

And there's usually a countdown for the last 10 seconds.

[Akuryou13]

Don't forget the party-poppers. and the explosives. at least around here we like to set off crap loads of explosives for new years.

[Star Worms]

The countdown is the best bit as the public in general cannot accurately count 10 seconds.

10....9....8...7...6...5..4..3..2..1
instead of
10....9....8....7....6....5....4....3....2....1
