Jörgen Sigvardsson wrote: Sounds like Solitaire is associated with teenage activities and/or sexuality in South Africa. Am I on to something here? :laugh: :laugh: Oh man. Quite the opposite I would say. The key is in the name of the game; Solitaire. I am just trying to say that boasting about a high score in Solitaire will not pull in the ladies or gain much respect except with other Solitaire addicts. To be frank it is seen as a sad activity, one best played in a dark room where no one else can see you playing. But that perception is only because I am a peer pressure driven fashion victim. :rolleyes: So never mind me. :)

Hmm.. You're not Brian Delahunty are you? :~ -- Only in a world this shitty could you even try to say these were innocent people and keep a straight face.

Deep down though you want to whip that hand up to your forehead, do the universal Looser sign and send him a photo of it. It is wrong. It is terrible to think. He is not a looser. But damn, you are just itching to do it anyway. Still, at least your friend and Jörgen are enthusiastic about what they are doing, strange though it may be. More than can be said of some people who even do socially acceptable things unenthusiastically :)

Megan Forbes wrote: Minesweeper, haha - I know someone who was a minesweeper addict. Used to drive me up the wall with fastest times etc for the 99 mine game. Anyway I got bored so I edit his .ini file and put a false time at the top, just a couple of seconds quicker than him. And every time he beat it I just kept decreasing the time. Eventually he gave up. Megan Forbes wrote: emails me screenshots make your own in Paint and have fun with his mind :) as well as give him RSI
Technically speaking the dictionary would define Visual Basic users as programmers.
But here again, a very generalized, liberal definition is being employed and it's wrong

I had exams for about 1.5 weeks... so I took a break for them, and then Ulla went home to Germany yesterday so I spent the last few days with her... Was brilliant. I've also been doing some projects and working on some personal stuff but nothing too major. Mainly the exams and Ulla that kept me away. So how's yourself? Regards, Brian Dela :-)

Ah women and work. Can be quite time consuming yes. Couldn't live without it though :) Brian Delahunty wrote: So how's yourself? Well, I've been bored. Been watching movies most of the time trying to kill some time (and I've been playing some Solitaire too ;)). I just saw the movie Evelyn, the Irish one with Pierce Brosnan. It taught me a new english/irish word - "shite". That made my day :) Go see it if you haven't, it was quite good! And now it's just three days left until I go on christmas vacation. A vacation which I'll probably spend in bed - some virus is catching up with me as I write this (bloody shite!). -- Only in a world this shitty could you even try to say these were innocent people and keep a straight face.

Jörgen Sigvardsson wrote: shite Ah... such a common word from my mouth during debugging sessions... oh.. and piss-up's.... Another nice Irish phrase is "póg ma hóne" ... pronounces "pouge muh hone" ... emphasis on the 'o' in pouge.... it's Gaeilge [Irish language] for "Kiss my arse".
