Nah, there's this 50+ year-old who pops in once in a while, yaps about how he's the oldest here, pops in a few bad senility jokes, calls 2K Elizabeth Rapture Mom about 10 times, then falls into a spell of coma ;)

But you're probably the oldest Brit here, and that counts for a lot.

no.. 39's not THAT old :S
i kinda think we should call 2KE "rapture mum". it's stylised, while describing what she does at the moment.

[Hatesink]

I'm not sure she likes it that much, so I suggested 'BioBabe' instead, but it doesn't look like it's catching on.

[borgdrone89]

we could be mean and call her "BxPR - 3.2a"
latest version of the cyber PR that roams the net anonymously...

you realise, in the time it took me to get up to my current post count, you've made about 5 times as many posts..

[Hatesink]

I would, but I try and be as nice as possible, since I basically want to drink her bathwater.

The oldest brit-i like that-not too old to be crazy about bioshock! the other guy is gonna need a pacemaker!

[borgdrone89]

yeah, but not the bath water. i just want her to give us all free stuff.

I'm 37. These young whippersnappers who never played a game on the Atari VCS or the VIC-20 don't know how good they have it! In my day, all we could buy was a Coleco Tennis game with two knobs on it, and we had to put in a 9-volt battery so sounds could come out of the built-in speakers, and we liked it! We loved it!

-goes and plays his atari 2600- ... I'm sorry you were saying something about whippersnappers?

Why do only the English put their location as UK? Like anyone but them cares about the kingdom :rolleyes:

its interesting,i try and have a laugh at four in the morning and you guys are discussing colonial misinterpretation!:eek:

How could it be misinterpreted? I'll pull up my kilt, you insert willy, and it'll be just like the old days. Your ancestors will be mighty proud of you, following in their footsteps. Glory for the empire!!

Whatever you believe, I believe, my Lord English master *bows heads in inferior shame*It wasn't a statement, it was a question.

[Jeff]

they totally are. Much like if anyone from Quebec were to sign up here I would assume they're instant intention would be to move into a specific section of the forum, take it over and then try to make it into it's very own forum.

If anyone from France were to show up, I'm sure the first they'd do is surrender to whatever demands we had or hadn't yet made.

Us Canadians are all obviously hippy's with few morals, liberal minded nut-cases who's only objection in life is to the U.S.' general existence.

Americans are all a bunch of red-neck, truck driving, gun loving war mongering bush loving ignorant tools of the capitalist stench-pen they've so handily built themselves.

And me? well I've got the Canadian attachment, but at the same time, I'm always 100% deadly serious.

[Hatesink]

I don't want to play games with you Raveness, much less politics. I don't know what motivates you to post these kinds of things and I don't wish to know. I promise you, you only just barely make sense to me, all be it in a very superficial way.

[lotkrotan]

Boy, I better not see you in these parts, or I'll get my wife/sister to shoot you up with the good old twelve gauge, now don't come back now you hear?

(I'm almost in canada :()

[Raveness]

Master, you know I can't understand big words like "superficial", "motivates", "sense".

I did not receive the God-given intelligence of our masters, lest the peasants learn to read and overthrow the gentry :(

I've heard whisperings master. You promise me gold and lands for my secrets *grabs sleeves* I will tell you all......

Hope you understand this is all back-forth forum banter

lotkrotan, you are then more armed than the entire populous of Canada. I for one welcome our American overlords, and look forward to getting fat and driving gaz-guzzling vehicles that get all the chicks with big butts :)

[lotkrotan]

Don't froget our amazing selection of gangster rap and anorexic celebs.

[Hatesink]

Hope you understand this is all back-forth forum banterUnderstand this— I don't wish to banter with you any further. Please bear that in mind the next time you decide to chum around with me.

I'm serious Raveness. I'm not joking.

[splicer]

can we drop the brit hating crap now....PLEASE!:(

Not to mention the WMD craze and the litebrite terrorist scare. That was more Boston's fault in the end.

I guess I better stop the whole servitude bent, I get the feeling the poor gents think I'm serious. Hatesink sounds like he's going to pull me into that jaggedly sharp drainhole. Here's to hoping there's no potato-masher :eek:

seeing as there were similar lite brite's in 6 other US cities that didn't recieve one phone call, I think it's safe to blame the M*******s on that one.

Great term for them :D

Boston authorities became a laughin stock after that. The same ATHF litebrites were placed in a dozen other major cities across the states, no hullaballoo from them.

I love how the two workers responsible for placing the signs shoveled some well-deserved **** in the face of the fear-mongering media: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wR_29...elated&search=

We get a lot of them in Maine around fall, they come to see our foliage, and their driving sucks. I swear, they cause more accidents than drunks, so we came up with that term for them.

btw that link was out, but I saw the video before, it was a great laugh.

But for me, the 'Beeb' (a.k.a. the BBC Model B) was made of pure win. Programming my own ASCII graphics games- those were the days.

51 year old. Bad senility jokes is more a generation/age issue for me. Old School nub that I am. Elizabeth has no problem with Rapture Mom. Sent her a PM a while ago about the nickname. The coma issue is called work. I'm on 15 days straight, 11 of those 15 are 16 hour work days. If my schedule permits, I stop by my house on my floating lunch break and check up on what going on. :)

At least someone here knows I exist. Thanks!

[Hatesink]

What do you do that demands such long working hours?!

It boggles my mind.

If you hadn't said you popped home, I'd assume you worked on an oil rig (although the term "floating lunch break" doesn't go too far in convincing me otherwise).

I've worked a week of twelve hour shifts in a call centre in the past and it almost killed me.

We should call you Rapture Dad :D You are technically old enough to be mine, and many others here as well.

Work as a tradesman must demand the long hours you've describe. All the people I know within trades say they love their job and wouldn't trade (no pun intended) it for anything else.

Those are some brutal hours. I don't think I work that much in a month, but as a legal assistant my hours are all over the place in small - medium chunks. Structured hours are somewhat appealing, but I'd not trade (again no pun intended) the flexibility of doing my work whenever I please for it ;)

The trade in question would be Electric company Service/Trouble shooter. I get a floating 20 minute paid lunch. I do love the job I have. We've gone from 17 qualified personal to 9. The shortage of qualified personal is not unique to this trade. A lot of companies have "Rightsized" [down sized] in an effort to increase the bottom line profits. The hours get old but help pay for the youngest ones college costs along with my new core 2 duo PC BioShock machine and three copies of the game when it comes out. I've set aside two days vacation so once BioShock is in my hands, I'm going to dive right into Rapture.

I figured you for something along the lines of a high end job. Your very articulate with your posts. They're very good indeed. My posts, they're just old nub style. :)

Hatesink: Congrats are in order for you. I'd never want to work for a call center. I interact with the public enough as it is. Anyone whom works/interacts with the public knows how "interesting" they can be. I imagine
Raveness could tell us some interesting stories with some of the people she gets to interact with. Kudos to both of you, I'll stick with being a lineman.

[Hatesink]

You're a very lucky guy— to love your job so much that you can work such long hours and still enjoy it. That's a rare thing (probably worth more than the money it pays).

I figured you for something along the lines of a high end job. Your very articulate with your posts. They're very good indeed. My posts, they're just old nub style.Thanks :) Right now I'm not working— I suffer with depression, which has more or less incapacitated me for the moment (It's something I'm working on). I've studied writing (at uni, and in my spare time (believe it or not I love poetry and punctuation (in tandem) :p). I'm very interested in 'meaning' and technicalities of expression (so to speak) and sometimes I just get totally confused by some of the random posting on these kinds of forums (so if I seem to be confused at times, please do forgive me. :o)

...when I said I thought you might work on an oil rig it was just kind of a joke (because you work such long hours); it wasn't anything to do with what you posts (I kind of got the feeling you might have felt that that's what I meant).

Hatesink: Congrats are in order for you. I'd never want to work for a call center. I interact with the public enough as it is.. Anyone whom works/interacts with the public knows how "interesting" they can be.Absolutely. Cold calling can be really soul destroying at times (I've mainly worked as a market research telephone interviewer). I got pretty inured to it, but it's not something I'd ever want to do again (I'm not sure I'd be able to do it again, at least not the form of market research I used to do.)

I imagine Raveness could tell us some interesting stories with some of the people she gets to interact with.I think Raveness is an interesting story. ;)
