Turnips!!!

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

Any of you going to be around?

I'll be fluctuating between Wiltshire and Hampshire, so no... but if you could arrange to detonate Predabot for me, that'd be ace.
Grrr. Argh.

We got a three-week military exercise next year, but even if they send us overseas it won't be Sweden.

No, not even for Predabot.

Aww, come on Aaron. A little Thorite-hunting never hurt anyone.

Not anyone that mattered, anyway...

You don't seriously expect me to comment on how utterly unlike me that is, do you?

Worst. Rebisism. Ever.

Isn't that in and of itself a comment? o.O

By the normal rules of the universe, yes, but Rebis operates in his own little segment of 196,833 dimensional space, and as such, he can comment without commenting.

It's something called The Rebis Effect.
Grrr. Argh.

Does that count as another Rebisism?

We can't be sure until we see to what degree he un-comments!

This is really complicated :( I wish someone like Rebis could come and explain it... oh.

on a related note and to try and stop besty from being too angry with me for totally derailing rob's topic, why doesn't rob come to Canterbury? Visit the karlyboo in his native habitat... HMV. In the anime section. Wondering whether he can justify MORE homoerotic cartoons.

Good point. I should probably point out that this Stockholm thing wasn't actually planned - yesterday my friend Jo asked the missus if she could "borrow" me for a weekend as she's split up with her fella and she needs someone to take the ticket. My girl said fine, but seperate beds...

I live in the most southern part of Sweden, and I don't have enough cash to travel to Stockholm :(

What are you planning to do here (or there)? :)
Can't believe I'm still here.

You must eat knäckebröd - and try snus (if you haven't already).

And look out for the police if you are smoking some magic stuff.
(Official) People in Sweden go ******* insane if you mention "mari..."

Don't forget to update the thread after the trip. I'd love to know what you thought about it (I live in Swedens third largest city, but Stockholm is like three times bigger. So it feels insanely large to me. London on the other hand is larger than Stockholm).

Good advice. EmVee - only talk to children, prisoners and chimps! ;)

Must be something akin to me living in Bristol, or the many of us who live in lesser cities of our respective nations.

I am really bummed out that I couldn't come to Stockholm and meet you guys (and eat knäckebröd with you).

How's the weather there? Down here we have a rain storm of biblical proportions. :o
