What did they expect from several hundred kilovolts??

What bothers me the most is the reaction of the public. If those guys were running from the police, they must have comitted a crime, right ? So when they chose to hide in an elictrical transformer plant, in all their wisdom, and got electrocuted, one can hardly blame the police for doing their duty, which is chasing down guys who have comitted a crime, right ? Well, these fine people obviously think otherwise, and regard the police as the criminals here. A very logical way of thinking...if you're a Klingon.

I was thinking along the same lines johnny, if they were running they must have done something wrong.


I hate Lost! I can't believe I even thought for a minute there would be no cliffhanger! Locke and Boone looking for Vincent the dog, and Claire staggers out of the jungle!

It's too addictive.

Maybe they should deploy a few bataljons of marines in those neighbourhoods, obviously the police can't handle it. Anyway, when his is over, it's time for a selection of people who get a one way ticket back to Africa me thinks.

A slight tickle in their genitals?

Anyway, how are everyone?

[Ivelliis]

I'm well Stratos, but a bit sick Just ate a bag of Fruit Pastilles and a 500ml bottle of coke. How are you? (and anyone else in the Cafe)

Boro are beating Ukraine Dnipro 3-0, and if all stays the same I win £3 (Seven of us put 50p in and guessed the score, I have 3-0).

November has officially started, and so has NaNoWriMo.

I've wrote 4000 words, and need another 1000 to get my wordcount up to date for today.

It's not going too good, but as long as I write 50,000 words I'm happy, I can go through and edit it in December.

All fine with me.

Never heard of this NaNoWriMo. Sounds interresting.

[Ivelliis]

National Novel Writing Month. The aim is to write a novel (of average size - 50,000 words) in the month of November. You can write about anything, and most novels will be utter rubbish first draft, but it is the fact that you wrote the 50,000 words and that only, that matters.

Of course most people doing NaNo use December to correct their novel.

I'm on 5340 words so far. Two late nights, about four times I've wanted to play WoW and not write, but I've stuck in there so far.

Can I ask when IW is getting these amazing changes that were promised to us? *grin*

I seem to have lost the thread, and I haven't seen anything new (I don't think, although I only check 3 sub-forums religiously).
