      220 kph... Long, straight, boring unpopulated main highway. Short bursts though - around here they can call that speed "racing" even alone, and take your license/car.

      I've also done an indicated 200kph on a bike, but the speedometer gets less accurate the faster you go, so maybe it was 160-180...

      Around 85-90 mph. Hauling ass to speed traffic along. I generally don't drive above 75.

  4. Finally got my hands on Skyward Sword. I've only managed to play a few hours because other people insist on existing but the time I did have was accompanied by a massive grin on my face. SO IN LOVE.
  5. that you looked like you huff aerosols?
  6. he has a lot of funny tweets. I hope he comes up with them himself.
  7. Best celebrity tweets of 2011. LOL@celebs
  8. Maybe they could practice for zelda by making starfox adventures 2. Though I think I would be the only person that to actually buy it.
  9. I just thought of another one I do. I read iOS as "eye oss" instead of "eye oh ess".
  10. http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/2011/12/50_best_photos_of_the_natural.html Tweeted by Major Nelson, so burn your xboxes not me if you don't like it.
  11. I can't even tell if you're joking...
  12. Just bought Mario kart 7 and super mario 3d land again. Stupid the hut where I ordered them from first time said they were both in stock for dispatch within 24h when I ordered them. Got an email saying there'd be a delay on SM3DL of a month(!) so I cancelled that and waited for mario kart. That said expected dispatch of 7/12 for several days after that date but was still 'processing order' then got an email saying they were trying to get it from suppliers, so waited a couple more days, and finally cancelled this morning after another email saying they were working with their suppliers. Meanwhile it still says expected dispatch of 7/12! Got them from work today, and even with my discount they were £5 dearer in total but I couldn't be bothered with ordering them from the internet again. I'll still use them again though as they have some ace offers. Just not when I actually want something in a specific time frame.
  13. "it's dreadfully common" is an (I thought well known) joke phrase that would not cause offence to anyone I know in real life. Usually with an affected accent and usually more poking fun at upper rather than lower class people. I've only ever heard the common people* doing that to nouns. Anyway, wouldn't making words sound more casual generally indicate that you are moving them down the class ranks? As a generalisation more formal, "correct" language is considered more educated and therefore higher class and the more colloquialisms you use and deviations you take from standard English the lower down the class ranks you are. Isn't that pretty much one of the standard ways people use to decide what class someone else is? *yes, I'm joking.
  14. keep your knickers on, nothing wrong with lower class, I never even said what class I consider myself. I personally just hate that group of terms and didn't want it to sound like a blanket insult of a whole load of people. Having something I don't like associated with a particular class does not mean I dislike that class in general. Ozzy is perfectly common in Liverpool. I believe Liverpudlians to be the worst offenders for y-ifying words.
  15. I hate to sound awful but it is a (lower) class thing, not an English thing to put a 'y' at the end of words: present becomes prezzy, hospital become ozzy, television is telly. There are a _lot_ of them.
  16. it's dreadfully common though...
  17. You're also playing into their hands by being part of the statistic that justifies in their minds their DRM measures.
  18. you know that's just tempting fate to make ads more intrusive, right?!
  19. Still waiting for Nintendo to bring out their eShop cards so I can get some discounted funds. In the meantime, at least you can save your credit card information now. Can't believe this came out so soon in the EU. Don't like the English name though. Pinball tables work well with the 3D. I like having a download pinball game as I don't think they warrant carrying a card around, but I do love them.
  20. I just noticed I can right click and paste as plain text, cos I can never remember keyboard shortcuts, though the text after the paste seems to be smaller :/ I think computers just try to be too helpful nowadays.
  21. @ TME: yes you are wrong and you are now on Santa's naughty list. "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" is a popular secular sixteenth-century English carol " so we've been saying it since before you lot existed.
  22. This absolutely is my last Christmas CD this year!
