Speaking of which I guess I need to plan my summer holiday. Any suggestions for a week in the sun for two? Budget is probably around a grand.

down here is probably too expensive... you could pop down to brighton or something for a bit to be really cheap i guess. don't take my advice though.

last place i went was japan, for a week. that was cool. people talk about how they love the food and the culture and all that shit, but my favourite part was the trains. a big contrast to the constantly late ones here in sydney.

I am traveling tomorrow. The trip isn't very far(only a few hours away) but should still be fun. Going to visit my grandmother and a few other family members for a birthday party :^)

 

[killer-curry]

I finally arrived back to mainlands. Will post the photos in a new phone thread later. :)

I wish I could be of help, but I don't really know how expensive it is to travel within Europe. I feel like a grand would be different for the states vs. the UK. For sun, I'd think somewhere like Marseille or Madrid would be fun :) but I dunno the costs.

I want to go on vacation so bad. I'm hoping to go camping on a lake in Minnesota and possibly going to Boston later this spring. Then if everything works out, Montreal this summer. IT ALL FEELS TOO FAR AWAY. I want it to be warm and fun now :<

It can be very cheap to travel in Europe, it depends on where you want to go and how you want to "live" while you're there.

 

[I'm so HM02]

Super Soakers were the ****. I had so many fun summers with those...

I love Super Soakers. I always have like 15 vs 15 wars with them on the 4th of July (same day as family reunion).

 

[Sirfetch’d]

I had a Super Soaker when I was a kid. It was really fun but iirc it broke after like one or two uses :[

 

[Tsutarja]

I remember going to a friend's house and using their Super Soakers...it was fun :D

 

[I'm so HM02]

Super Soakers were my life for 7 years.

 

[pkmin3033]

I never had a Super Soaker, because they cost an absolute fortune ._.

 

[pkmin3033]

I used to have a yo-yo! I could never do any proper tricks with it, though...

 

[Her]

never had a pager bc i wasn't 30 in the '90s

 

[pkmin3033]

I never had a pager either. I DID have a brick mobile phone that was bigger than our landline phones are now, though! I could barely fit it in my pocket. Kinda ironic how today's smartphones are almost the same size...

 

[pkmin3033]

I think "bigger and thinner" is what the smartphone OEMs are going for, although some may debate that by the introduction of the Galaxy S7 Edge, we'll see if that really holds true whenever the iPhone 7 releases, if it become even more thinner than the 6/6s/6s+

Though speaking of phones, do people still have home phones these days, or are those just about gone, too?

I'd be afraid I'd break one of those new smartphones; they're a little TOO thin really. I guess they're leaning more towards tablets than anything else these days.

We still have home phones - three of them. Two downstairs and one upstairs. I'm not sure why, as 90% of the calls come from blocked IDs or call center people trying to sell us PPI so we don't bother answering them. xD

I finally uploaded my photos on " Travelling" thread , feel free to check there.

Dear Sir:

I have been requested by the Nigerian National Petroleum Company to contact you for assistance in resolving a matter. The Nigerian National Petroleum Company has recently concluded a large number of contracts for oil exploration in the sub-Sahara region. The contracts have immediately produced moneys equaling US$40,000,000. The Nigerian National Petroleum Company is desirous of oil exploration in other parts of the world, however, because of certain regulations of the Nigerian Government, it is unable to move these funds to another region.

You assistance is requested as a non-Nigerian citizen to assist the Nigerian National Petroleum Company, and also the Central Bank of Nigeria, in moving these funds out of Nigeria. If the funds can be transferred to your name, in your United States account, then you can forward the funds as directed by the Nigerian National Petroleum Company. In exchange for your accommodating services, the Nigerian National Petroleum Company would agree to allow you to retain 10%, or US$4 million of this amount.

However, to be a legitimate transferee of these moneys according to Nigerian law, you must presently be a depositor of at least US$100,000 in a Nigerian bank which is regulated by the Central Bank of Nigeria.

If it will be possible for you to assist us, we would be most grateful. We suggest that you meet with us in person in Lagos, and that during your visit I introduce you to the representatives of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company, as well as with certain officials of the Central Bank of Nigeria.

Please call me at your earliest convenience at 18-467-4975. Time is of the essence in this matter; very quickly the Nigerian Government will realize that the Central Bank is maintaining this amount on deposit, and attempt to levy certain depository taxes on it.

Yours truly,

Prince Alyusi Islassis

recently on my mobile i've been repeatedly called by a chinese call centre. i only know a few words, so i just shout out 'shuei' until they leave me alone.

apart from that, i've never really had any experience with call centres. prank calls, though. once i got prank called at 2 am. i happened to be awake then, because FIFA 16 was being released at midnight that night. i politely turned a bunch of girls asking me to come over to their place, in favour of playing football on an xbox. was that a smart decision? of course it was.

 

[Konekodemon]

Okay, these fiber gummies say to take 2 a day and they give me 5 grams of fiber a day. Would it be okay to overtake it so I could get 30 grams a day just from the gummies? I don't think I can overdose on fiber supplement can I?

 

[Tsutarja]

Also I miss when yo-yos where a thing...holy shit I notice they don't even exist anymore wow.....

They don't?!

 

[killer-curry]

Chill I had a broken one.
