<font color="plum"><H2>Cloudy's Cafe</H2></font>

Come in, be welcome, be comfortable, be yourself

Welcome to Cloudy's Cafe, a place to have a cup of coffee or a good
darjeeling and the finest in conversation and camaraderie.

The proprietor asks that you follow a few simple guidelines:

<H2>this is a real conversation zone, not a role-play zone</H2>

[i]* no flaming; if you disagree with a viewpoint expressed by any patron, please do so in a civil manner
* any topic is fair game, but keep posts to the standards that Ziroc has set for the entire forum, please (ie: foul language is not appropriate and things should be suitable for all audiences)
-a side note from Cloudy: I see this as a place for those short
conversations about a new baby or the latest soccer fiasco, not for things that are big enough to warrant their own threads, by all means give those things the space they need and post separately!
* Please, no one word or smiley posts (Ziroc has declared them 'real spam' and the proprietor doesn't want the reputuation of "good spam" to suffer!)
* do feel free to be serious or silly and enjoy the company of others while you are here. By all means POST if you have something to say, even to start another topic , we can handle multiple chats, we're a CAFE!!! But be courteous and don't disrupt a conversation just to disrupt it.[i]

Come on in! The bar is stocked with coffees, teas, juices and waters from around the world. And purple napkins, of course!

<font color="pink">The lighting is low, the golden oak counters and tables glow with inviting warmth. Near the window, the lighting is brighter, as comfy, plush leather armchairs wait for those who'd like to read a book while relaxing to music or just lazily watch the world go by.</font>

Cloudy,
your hostess [img]graemlins/ladyhearts.gif[/img]

Just a little bit from last post in the old one, to get started:

"Uss, how about we start a new Cafe today and you try chatting about something you might be interested in that others can relate to? Do you have any hobbies like running, stamp collecting, writing poetry, or something? Do you have pets? How about brothers and sisters? What subjects are you taking in school? Do you like any of them? Stuff like that would help."

Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening to everyone! I'm off for a little while but thought I'd stop in and put on some more coffee. :D

Morning everybody!

I have to go watch Episode II now! See you all later! :D

we've met his brother already, don't you remember ?

Hi Nick! Long time no see! That sig of yours is so funny! LOL A 'cute' devil smiley.... just too funny! :D

Well, I hate to start new and then run, but I have to go for a few hours. I'll check back later, though! Have fun, everyone!

Ha! Defeated the evil chatroom. :D Pity there's only me and Downunda in there though. ;)

Hi Cloudy! *shhh!* You'll give away my secret plans. ;) [img]tongue.gif[/img]

LOL, just saw your post, Jerome, so I'll [img]graemlins/laugh2.gif[/img] before I go and whisper, "ha..it's no secret!" LOLOL

Johnny: we have? Oooooookay.. well, welcome and sit down,put your feet up and chat/drink coffee or tea or what have you and relax. :D

Bye all, catch you in a few hours. [img]smile.gif[/img]

It's good to see you too. Have a good day!

nite all, have fun at the flicks Av'
'rome, good chatting to ya
cloudy, have a great day
nick, that is a cool sig ;)

Later...

Hey everyone! My how I *hate* these laptop pads. You know the one's that are supposed to replace your mouse? Today is a halfday! [img]smile.gif[/img] So i'll be home in *checks watch* 51 minutes. [img]tongue.gif[/img] So what's everybody been doing? And oh has anyone else tried FFX yet?

<font color = lightgreen>@Downunda: the spoiler about 24 is that it is a great show! [img]graemlins/petard.gif[/img]

Tell me again why I am at work? [img]graemlins/1ponder.gif[/img] Oh, yes. I have bills to pay. [img]graemlins/laugh3.gif[/img]

<font color = orange>KitCat</font> was on a wailing spree last night; that little felis domesticus woke me up thrice! Oh, well. I'm sure he didnt' mean to.

Hey! Are those fresh croissants I see over there?</font>

Croissants?? Oh those... they're fried mutant cockroaches. ;)
How do everyone?? ;)

Ah yes, only two weeks till school is officially over :D And then it'll be time for Seph and I to check the limits of our physical endurance like we agreed to long ago... Seeing who can stay away the longest, ends in a draw once we both pass 96 hours....

Anyone wanna join our battle of endurance? :D

96 hour's are you guy's nut's???, sound's like fun though, I miss the old day's of being able to stay up till whatever and then being able to sleep till whenever ;) Y'all ahve fun, I will monitor y'all from a safe distance, somewhere like my bed :D

hi.
good idea, cloudy. has anybody seen any good movies lately? i saw Evolution. that was kinda cool.
IWD: its still very difficult, though also still very fun. im in the cave of the beetles, spiders and lizards.
Morrowind: grr! freezes all the time. kinda looks like Matrix(meaning that it has alot of slow motion). i think ill uninstall it. damn, Mw would be a very good game if it would be fast and wouldnt freeze all the time!

Hey everybody! How's everyone doing, well I hope. The weathers great here in Gibraltar, nice and bright. I'd just like to say thankyou to Neb,BK,Uss,Malkaviel,Aveindah,Downunda and Azred again for helping me through my mid-forum crisis [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Neb, I'm positive that what you are hoping to achieve will resuslt in the loss of your eyes! How can you hope to look at a monitor for 96 hours? You're a little bit crazier then I first thought...good luck to you two.

Hey I think I vaguely remember that... but wasn't it only 48 hours hours or something at first???
Ah well.
Heh.. at first I thought you meant 96 hours away from IW.
BTW, Sigmar, no prblem... how are you??

your welcome [img]smile.gif[/img] . its kinda fun to help ppl ;) .
heh, i think most ppl here have noticed that every second im in this forum i have/am somekind of a crisis [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

Oh yeah, the draons eye place right?? I remember that, fight loads of bugs and lizardmen, sleep until you don't get woke up by more and kill them, the kill more.
That's a great game IWD!

I'm feeling great, I've passed all my exams in school and now the rest of the remaining weeks in school will be smooth sailing for me. This gives me more time for my new Gamecube :D , what about you.

That's a coincedence, I've just finished doing two weeks of exams, my mock year 10 ones before my GCSE's in year 11, well, almost finished, I have a whole day purley of drama tomorrow which is so cool because no uniform, no need to trudge around school in the heat with a hefty bag on me and of course, drama's the best subject ever (one of them anyway.)
Other than that I'm done though and should get my results pretty soon. :D

That's a great game IWD!</font>[/QUOTE]yeah. its somehow.. diffirent than the BGs. when i was close to the end of the Vale of Shadows, i got pissed off because the skeleton killing got a little boring. i had to fight alot of skeletons to get into another room, then the next room, the one after that and so on. now, i saved and stopped playing when i got to the undead place in Dragons Eye. this parts a bit difficult too [img]smile.gif[/img] .
my party has 4 characters because controlling a 5 or 6 membered party would be annoying..

Really?? I've always found it easy to have a full party, and a bit better as you can have a wider spread of classes etc, but I suppose that's just small differences.
Until a while ago, I couldn't get any further than (SPOILER)

Dorn's deep because of a bug in the CD copy I had, but I installed it with someone elses working copy and I can still run it with my CD.

jammy git [img]tongue.gif[/img] - I see that Saturday evening. Don't you dare spoil it or I'll... I'll... I'll set Mel on you. So there [img]tongue.gif[/img]

have fun :D :D

I've got my mocks next year, and as for drama I wouldn't know anything about that, good luck with your results.

Have you heard about the next Tombraider guys, thats bound to be good [img]tongue.gif[/img] Does anyone here like this series (or do you like me wonder why they don't take it out to the yard and shoot it)

<font color = lightgreen>Cockroaches have a lot of protein, you know. Fry them in olive oil, put a light lemon or garlic/butter sauce on them, and dig in. Great appetizer! [img]tongue.gif[/img] </font>

i dont like tomb raider.. too much thinking.. too little action

<font color = lightgreen>Cockroaches have a lot of protein, you know. Fry them in olive oil, put a light lemon or garlic/butter sauce on them, and dig in. Great appetizer! [img]tongue.gif[/img] </font></font>[/QUOTE]Actually you can use that recipe to cook bull testicals, a Spanish recipe. What would you prefer?

I think i'll have cockrach testicles on a silver platter... they've got to be a delicacy somewhere!!

Good lord, for one mere second that actually sounded nice Malkaviel, do cockroaches even have testicles (they probably have internal organs which have the same abilities)? Have you tried deep fried mars bars though, they're great. Despite what many people say.

*Thwacks Talthyr soundly with a week old bagel* There are NO cocroaches in this cafe! [img]tongue.gif[/img] Humph! [img]smile.gif[/img]

Uss, I love IWD! Dragonseye is an interesting 'dungeon crawl' farther along. I used 6 pc's in my game and really had some fun. It wasn't always easy, either! I'm at the end of Trials of the Luremaster (HoW too) with my single game. I've beaten IWD in single game and in multiplay and am playing a multiplay game all the way through with someone else now. We're in the Drangonseye too! But a few levels farther down than you are just now.

RBF! Hello and happy half day to you! :D I know what you mean about the 'replace your mouse' models. I'm not too keen on that roller ball thingy but my dad's HP laptop wasn't too bad.

Hi Sigmar! Glad to hear the err.. mid forum crisis is averted! LOL

Neb- you are nuts! LOL 96 hrs... HAHAHAHHAHA! *gets out the snacks and drinks for a long long long and amusing time*

Well, I'm off again, sorry to hit and run, but I'll be back later.

Waves to Elif, says bye to Downunda and Aviendha as they leave and blows a kiss to LS, hehe.... :D

GOOD NEWS EVERYONE!!!! I just got a letter from my girlfriend saying that she would be willing to go out with me again!(yes,she does'nt live in the same town as me.Yes,I have met her.We used to go to the same babysitter.) I can't believe it! WAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! [img]graemlins/scream.gif[/img]

Hey can someone tell me what "bumping' is?

A bump is when you post to put it back to near the top of the page so it won't get lost. [img]smile.gif[/img]
And BTW, that's great news, good to see you so happy.

I'm glad you answered I wasn't sure what kind of "Bumping" was being referred to. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Morning everyone, I've had about 4 hours sleep and I have to go to work. Saw Episode 2 at midnight!!!!! I won't ruin anything for anyone, all I will say is, even if you didn't like Episode 1, you have to see this movie!!!!!!
