My course finishes this week. And even before that, my internet connection crumbles beneath my feet...
I'll probably show my face from time to time, but after this week, the dubious pleasure of bumping into me on a daily basis will be a rarity. I'll miss you all.
Bye, in advance...
Jeez, another person is departing from Chit Chat! We'll miss you, Behemoth...:(
*gulp*
*sniff*
*wipe*
Was that a goodbye present then BG??? :pQuote:

We'll miss you:( :( :( :(
everyone seems to leave. Some because of *******s some because they cant get an internet connection.
Why is this?
Is it money or just the country coz down here in OZ no matter where you live you can connect. If ya outback in the middle of no-where the government even subsideses it for you.
Later behemoth. Hope to see u back again soon dammit!
No worries ;)
I'll still be around til the end of the week...
Merlin: just for you
Rooooaaaarrrgghh!
cheers :)
Does this mean that Arbiter will be leaving too? Or are you two not actually that close (Geographically i mean of course) I mean you could always borrow his connection, if it isn't the same as yours...
Its a good 15 minute drive away... I've got my home connection, but its so b*stard slow, I don't tend to use it.
See you big man:rolleyes:... I'll miss your unique approach to things.
Keep rolling ou the kick @$$ games.:)
grrr, roar, sniff
* translates to : "See you later. Monster, Monster. Sniff" *
peace and love Behemoth. My club will miss you :(
Bye, Behemoth! Hope you drop in often...you will be missed!
(Chris, what is with you and that obsession with your "club". I know men are rather attached to them but geesh!)
Behemoth ; why dont you start rolling out copies of Sentience to shops and then with the profits get yourself an ISDN line :)
Bye Behemoth!
Hopefully you'll get back on the board fairly regularly to give us a rip roaring roar :)
Good luck for the summer. Are you getting a job?
SD
funny you should mention that :mad:
Somebody had to do this..
auf wiedersehen, good bye.
G;)
Well, he's a member!Quote:

Oh, I thought you were referring to you own personal club again!
Hehe:D That's chris!:)
*realizes that sooner or later, people have to go*
Bye then...
*realises that Dave should spell realises properly* ;) :D
He did!!!!!!!!!:p
nu-uh!
Realise or U.S -ize. 1 To be aware of or grasp the significance of 2.............
That's strange. My english teacher has just said it didn't matter.
to realize is the same as to realise.
*realises that something is confusing*
Odd....my dictionary has realize.........with realise as a variation.
well you can have both, but here it is preferable to use realise. Those yanks use realize
Americans, pah!:D
I hope you realize that "those yanks" have realized that "those Europeans" don't know how to spell properly.
Now, I think you'll find it's the t'other way round!! Seen as we invented the language and all :D
Hey Katie, go on, say 'Herb' for us all :)
The name Herb or the food additive???? Sounds two different ways don't you know?;)
I found out the other day you pronouce "route" like "rowt". Some americans came up to me in London and said "What's the best rowt to National maritime Museum", and I was like "rowt?? what's a rowt??". Then I realised they meant route (pronounced "root"). Madness I tell you, madness!!!!
The pronunciation of route depends on what part of America you are from.
so where do they say "rowt"?
I get it all the time here. Weird pronunciations. Schedule, Garage, Inventory, Vibrator... oops.
In fairness, I'm in their country so I find myself trying to adapt to their way of speaking, but occasionally I say things and they give me the weirdest looks.
For instance "I'll meet you at half 3."... nope they don;'t have that here, it's 'three thirty'. Fortnight, that's another word they don't have.... and if they did, they'd probably spell it wrong anyway :p

That was a question on the US version of Millionaire (i think). "The term fortnigth refers to how many consecutive days".Quote:

I was like "Oh my lord, they can't be serisouly asking this question!?!?!?!"
Do you guys find it difficult to communicate with me? Sometimes you say things and it takes a second to figure out what you meant....spanners instead of wrenches etc......but as a general rule I don't have much trouble.
So how do you say it?Quote:

yes
Well as long as you say it right, then that's okay!!Quote:

You honestly don't know what a fortnight is? Maybe it wasn't such a stupid question after all then. The answer is 14 days, or 2 weeks however you want to say it.Quote:

fortnight = 14 days (two weeks)
I'm pretty much up to speed on all the different terminology now, but when we first came here I had a lot of difficulty with different words. Nappies = Diapers etc. But once you get the hang of the basics it's not a problem.
Fortnight = 2 weeks (i.e. Fourteen Nights) It's a very handy word:)
I have no trouble understand you Katie, but like I say, maybe it's because I am used to both different sets of words.

Wow! It took my husband years to understand me!:eek: ;)Quote:
