Hello VB-World!
How's everyone heen - I've missed you all!
Not been on the site for ages and when I do get on I find that some Southern Fairy has now got a contract in Manchester!!!
Well, I've had a quick squizz through all the threads I've missed whilst I've been away and I see the hunt for Batman is still on.
Do people still care?
Anyone want to give me a summary of events I've missed?
Thanks greatly!

Interesting experiment - to find out just how strange people are around here all I have to say is...

arbiter is quitley typing away on his keyboard and sudenly feels like he's being watched, he turn's round just in time to see a large wet haddock flying towards his face and a face that is grinning madly at him as it smacks him right round the chops.
How goes it arbiter, I was wondering when you would make an appearance (thought I scared you off). Machester's fine apart from it's full of northerner's.

Snarling, Arbiter extracts the haddock from his nostrils and places it on the ground.
Then, he sits back and grins quietly to himself, secure in the knowledge that he's poisoned the entire supply of Sherry in the north west and the only person likely to be drinking it is....
IanPBaker.
(Awight pal, you need to let me know where in MCR you are so you can buy me that pint you owe me!!)
Arbiter raises his eyebrow at the 'eightballs' Parksie has just got out...
Am I correct in assuming that Benjamin is DennisWren?
If so, a whole can of whoop ass is going to be opened merely to honour his presence!

I'm finished tomorrow, then I'm off until about... The 20th? Something like that. I have been here at uni for about 15 weeks straight though, so it's not like we have half term or anything. Exams are over now (hoorah) and I reckon they went alright. I think probably a 2:1 or a first, depending on my luck. I'm absolutely knackered, been up by 5:30 am every day since Saturday, and been doing exams too. Off to bed soon I think *Yawn*

No katie you ain't done nothing
Must be the end of year coming up.
Harry has finished his home economics exams. Hope the cake turned out ok big fella.
Dennis is off to burn down the nearest forest he can lay hands on.
Arbiter already has his case of Newcastle cooling in the fridge.
Downunder gearing up for the third test against the Windies, hopefully we get to bat more than once this time.
Katie is organising trips to the zoo, movies, and gun shows for her little ones.

I wish it had been home ec, it would have been about a million times more interesting. Today was Information Modelling. Personally I don't actually care how you can make a database system using CODASYL or IMS.

No Jethro...NEVER gun shows. My little ones are 14,16 and 18...the time for me to be organizing things for them are long gone...now they tell me where to go...literally, sometimes. Actually, they are pretty respectfull of me for some reason. I'm pretty lucky... or maybe it's the baseball bat I keep in the corner...not sure which

HarryW At least its over dude. Go out and have a few pints to celebrate. We always did after exams, and for the really boring ones a few before hand as well.
Katie Hmmm....maybe you could get them to mow the lawns, cook dinner or whatever.

Everything, Dennis! I think we've had this discussion before. I don't feel that easy access to any weapon of choice is a good idea...let alone glamorizing it with "Gun Shows".

but guns are only dangerous if you let them be...
my dad has a locked cabinet with all 200 of our guns in it.. and I am not aloud to have them out(look at them) unless he or my mom is around...
and the ammo is kept in the basement, I don't know where in the basement, but somewhere...
and the guns are never loaded in the house...
the worst injury I have had in my 4 years of experience, is when I was cleaning a M1-Garand, and the bolt wasn't locked all the way back, and it smashed my thumb sideways.. 
but that kind of injury could have just as easily happened if I was hammering a nail, or closing a car door....

Hey guys,
Seeing as I've got a crate of Newky Brown in the fridge you're all welcome to take one.
Barrk,
If you're organising a trip to the zoo, count me in - I ain't been to the zoo since I was a kid!
Dennis,
I'm sure you'll grow out of your fascination of guns. If you don't you'll either be in the special forces, a precision engineer or a psycho.
And, let's face it. Anyone who considers using Steve or Parksie as a weapon is hardly SAS material and you don't appear to have the patience to be a precision engineer, which leaves..... oh dear.

hey!!
don't insult steve and parksie.. they are really good weapons.. 
and, why would I want to be in the special forces? same with being a precision engineer, I want to be a programmer... duh...
and I will never outgrow my fascination with guns.. I have loved them since I could walk, and I always will...
