The convergence of reality and virtual reality
Posted Jul 23, 2000
Got to think about this during the week as I started to spend more time in the Forum and Firkin pub. Which, as it happens, is what I tend to do in what's known as the 'real world'. The people in the Forum and Firkin are very friendly, I would definitely recommend a visit. My only problem is I never seem to be able to make it there when others are around, I just end up reading the conversations they had the next day.

Another Birthday
Posted Jul 2, 2000
Well i've finally made it to the grand old age of 35. How does it feel ? well pretty much the same as 34, and 33 and 32 in fact I still feel the same as when I was in my mid twenties. The presents seem to have dried up, 1 from my parents (money) one from my in laws (money), two from my wife (clothes and a book) and one from the dog, I suspect she didn't save up and buy it herself though. I wonder if the interesting presents dry up at a certain age or you just become less interested in them?

England 1 Germany 0
Posted Jun 18, 2000
I'm sitting here thinking that after waiting my whole life for that result why aren't I more elated ? Is is because the Germans were right all along ?, it is only a game and as for its importance only the English media have built it up to such a silly level that we all think that it is the be all and end all of the world. Or is it because we actually didn't knock them out of the competition and we haven't gone on to win anything on the back of this, I don't know perhaps winning this game just proves that winning a football game doesn't mean that much after all.

Stupid people
Posted Jun 18, 2000
I ask you, we get two decent days of weather, at the weekend as well, which is a bit of a Bertie Bonus and what do my next door neighbours each do on consecutive days, HAVE A BONFIRE, not just any bonfire but really really smokey ones, so here's me sweating away on my PC with all the windows shut and still smelling like a smoked kipper.

Is everybody here a student
Posted Jun 4, 2000
It seems that the vast majority of people in h2g2 are students this
make me feel
1 Old
2 Annoyed (I wish I was a student again)
3 worried that all the guide entries will have the student slant to them therefore not really appealing to the majority of people and h2g2 will never get the mass market appeal it deserves.
