Thorea's design is a personal favourite, this being if ns-FFAGs are all they're cracked up to be. We'll find out in a couple of years anyway.

Good for CERN, a publicity boost if nothing else.

I played Rugby for seven years for school teams and local teams. School wise, I hated it. The coach cared about winning and little else. Same with most players. Most seemed to hate being there as much as me. Outside, it was great, since everyone was only there to have fun (they'd have to be, it was ...

Art, oh dear god art. Throughout secondary school, everything had to be real life drawing, or an exact copy of an existing style of art. Doing creative work was just appalling, since anything related to war in any way (I mean even to the extent of drawing two aeroplanes flying next to each other.) i...

Ack, sorry. It seems I'm a bit fucked in every way in connecting to OpenRPG. I've just started uni and their firewall won't let anything in or out through it. Looks like I'm out really.

They put Voyager (one of the better spin-offs apparently) above Firefly, Futurama in 41st, and just plain don't include DS9? What criteria did the compilers use for this list? I'm guessing not sci-fi considering Buffy, Tales from the Crypt and Xena are included, and Farscape appeared no where. Also,...

Agh, I'm out of interesting ideas for the moment. I'll preliminarily say my character is a barbarian that fell out of tree somewhere at birth. However, the fall made him smarter that your average barbarian, rather than about the same. That'll do, or there abouts.

I've found my NEC-2500 to be a reliable workhorse. It's done about 50 DVDs in the last year and not produced a single duff one. I'm not sure what the 3500 series are like, but if like the 2500, it will work well.

Docking tails can have a purpose for dogs that are used as working dogs, although typically only terriers. This is simply because if a terrier goes into a animal burrow, the only way you can get it out is to grab it by their tail, and grabbing the very end of a dogs tail will fuck it up seven ways f...
