I only found that out after many tests spaning about 8 months, during all that time, I kept feeling sick, couldn't keep certain foods down, etc...

So I cut out what foods I KNEW was making me sick where I couldn't swallow them properly, and because I couldn't eat as much, combined with getting a new job...

In the past 2 years now I have gone down to around 86 Kilos, I can just fit into waist 38 inch clothes comfortably, and I'm still loosing weight at a slow and steady pace.

And you know what, I feel so much better in myself for it, I'm GLAD I fell ill in that way :D

there's a town in the Netherlands that has canals in place of roads so I could kayak as a actual mode of transport instead of just a recreation if I lived there, unfortunately a kayak is about the only human powered vehicle I have the cowardination to operate making that about my only option which is really inconvenient seeing as canal transport systems are really rarely used in almost all countrys

Here's something kinda interesting I stumbled across: [url]http://forums.na.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?t=3388973[/url]

In the past few months, a few key insights have shifted our approach to tackling player behavior in online communities. For example, we can use Honor, Reports and other behavioral metrics at our disposal to classify the types of players in League of Legends into four groups: Positive, Neutral, Bad, Toxic. It turns out that only 1% of the active playerbase is considered toxic---these are the players who are abusive to other players in a large number of their games.

It's possible. Most servers I've played on where you see the same names people tend to be decent, but when an arsehole does turn up everyone knows about it because they're the loudest.

on a lighter note - [URL="http://www.pcgamer.com/bioware-creates-new-mass-effect-level-to-help-fan-propose-to-her-partner/?ns_campaign=article-feed&ns_mchannel=ref&ns_source=steam&n s_linkname=0&ns_fee=0"]when the devs of your favourite game help you propose[/URL]

While it's cool, I've started to think public proposals are unfair cause people might feel pressured in their answer.

Ditto.

Far better in private, then if your newly coined spouse-to-be wants something a bit more showy (some people do!) then just fakes it!

In the mighty conurbation that is Birmingham, where there are more canals then Venice, there are a number of people who paddle to work [url]http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-birmingham-23589161[/url]

That's like missing.

Reminds me of that game on the Spectrum where you had to land the lander. Damned tricky when you're 5!

I had the same one on the commodore 64, it was bloody hard.

So much fun with such limited power! I can't believe how far tech has advanced in our lifetime... I'm hoping to hang around for another 30-40 years to see what the next few gens of product look like!

all it seems to do now is make it more photorealistc and more fps...

I'm hoping to experience enhanced virtual reality and maybe even a true neural link before I go into the dark night.

I'm not sure I want something reading my mind :eek:

I'm sure they can add a safe search feature to it. :p It just sounds too cool to be able to control things by thought vs touch... but maybe that's just me. ;)

safesearch, what are you trying to say? ;)

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH! An hour of life gone discussing software integrations with IT specialists! I'm not even sure we were speaking the same language! :p

Love me some Beavis! :D

I am completely terrified of what they may actually deliver. If this integration doesn't work properly I may not get to sleep for months!

I think there's few men who didn't go through the Beavis stage of life. Somewhere between total innocence, and losing said innocence, comes the stage of wanting to lose it but having no knowledge, or chance, of the how :)

For me that would have been my late teens to early 20's... ah for the good old days of blissful ignorance!

OK......

Harlock - Space Pirate.

Any good for someone largely anime-phobic due to sodding steampunk overdose and god awful voice acting on the dubbing?

not watched it yet, on my to do list as it is on Netflix, but not got round to it. must be worth watching just from the description and title.

Netflix seems to have invested in more Anime.

Though Constantine on Amazon Prime. Ace TV series is ACE! Proper Constantine too!

need to watch that too, currently working through Batman the Animated Series though

Good choice!

Funny how DC get their cartoons right, movies wrong (oh so wrong), whereas Marvel are the opposite. Crappy cartoons (barring 90's X-Men), excellent films.
