The General Conversation Area

Latest naruto.... nothing seemed to happen in the manga volume this week, alot of talking but not much in progression.

Just building the hype right now.

Still, when the fights that are being stacked up kick off it'll be one hell of a cliffhanger every volume.

Unsure if i should order queens blade from american Amazon.com, or from Amazon.co.uk
both R1 anyway but unsure which one will be cheaper.

looking into it.aswell as Gurren Lagann vol 2 and 3 for £20 Tempting.
 
I'm always impressed and respect people who actually go to the doctors. Something like a mole? I'd absolutely ignore it. I might Google it if its a persisting problem for over a month. Maybe.
 
I extracted a splinter of half-inch length from my foot yesterday. 'Twas lodged horizontally into the epidermis.

After fifteen minutes of precision mining, the final removal of the offending item was an achievement that imparted a most deserved sense of satisfaction.

The splinter didn't have much of a taste to it.
 
Finally went into the doctor today about the problems i've been having with my neck(to keep to the doctor theme), turns out they can't be sure what caused it(funny that) and are trying to get me some physiotherapy when i head back into edinburgh. Didn't expect it to be that bad but i guess anything will help. Got some prescription as well so that should keep it down when i need it. Mind you, bet it won't help with the added stress and occasional migraine
 
@Arbalest - Hope you feel better soon

Randomness but... I was in Nando's yesterday and I was perplexed to discover the portion sizes of their chips had shrunk. I mentioned this to a staff member who informed me that Head Office had said to reduce the portion of chips from 220g to 170/180g. She said that other people have noticed and complained to the manager. But its only if you complain, do they give you more chips. So basically, people are paying the same amount of money for less food. Cheeky or what!

Sounds like they are trying to increase their Economies of Scale in order to produce more units for the same price. It's not all that surprising for a big chain to do that.
 
Good luck with the doctor, stu. It's been ages since I've been to a GP. Last time I went was to get several shots before I went to India (I had 3 shots for rabies alone). Maybe I should get registered with a doctor in Edinburgh since my doctor back home is on a sabbatical.

One of those topics that made me quit A Level Business Studies - We did these in the first year, and it's so boring xD (Easy marks in the exam, though).

Me remembering that makes me wonder how I managed to fail Business Management in school.
 
@MangaGirls and Stu: Thanks. Hopefully it'll die down in due course so that i can focus on my project more instead of this.

@MangaGirls: Yeah, i've noticed bits like that for a while. Shops are just as bad. Something like when i fancy a pack of doughnuts from the Co-op, they used to be about double the size they are now, at the same price. It's just not worth the money now. If i wanted something like that, i'd want my moneys worth, not some tiny portion which should be worth a few pennies.
 
Very possibly. A dedicated thread for feedback and ideas (maybe even dedicated threads, but it depends how big it gets) would certainly be a must. Should pick up during half-term (which I assume to be this week coming? Maybe. You won't know anyway since you're in Scotland) at least, lulz.

Voddas! you return, welcome back.

Things seem to be slowing up around here lately - I haven't even seen any spam bots recently - which is a shame but hopefully things pick up with the podcast, after all the top ten anime of the decade list was good at drawing out people.

Greetings Stu! Yeah I'm back to make sure you're all staying out of trouble. :p

I've been reading up on the podcast idea. I hope it goes ahead as I will definately be partaking in it myself.

AUKN has a history of dry spells but it always bouces back eventually. Plus everyones probably been busy with Christmas and the New Year (I know I have).

Anywhy, hows life been treating you?

edit: No rush Tach. :p
 
Valentines Card .... too... soppy.... *blleeeeugghhh* lol

Busy lunch now mate ao will get it read when I'm back from my Beef and Horseradish sarnie! :p
