  1. It probably could be applied to tiddlywinks (Marbles), or even the older sports like Bowls or Crochquet (sp). Yes, it could be said it depends on the player's mental state and wellbeing.
  2. Carnie games seem to be pretty rigged, but have to agree Pokies and other games found in the Casino are much much worse when it comes to winning:losing odds. Casino games can be fun every now and again, but have to say it doesnt interest me to get addicted to it, considering the everyday expenses and like are on my mind the most.
  3. I have to agree, many video game players usually play it as a form of relaxation and/or to release their problems out by taking it out on virtual people and/or AI. Of course there are the rare cases, but then again it may depend whether the player/s let the things affect them.
  4. I've only got experience with the Nokia camera phones, best being a 2.0megapixel one in the 6000 series phones. Phone camera picture quality is generally less than the proper cameras and/or digital cameras, but good if you're sending photos across mobiles and/or through emails via the internet.
  5. Also to add, there are plenty of mp3 players that mainly plays only music and/or has the radio built in. Iriver, Creative Labs/Zen, Sony (rip-off imo), and a number of other brands that has simple mp3 players but with features that are not too tech savvy.
  6. Rarely ever, maybe every now and again after seeing a long distance relative overseas just recently. But most days, usually keep in touch via e-mail those days. The wonders of technology and how things change real fast.
  7. Most fast food burgers usually give indigestion if consumed fairly fast, esp burgers from Burger King (aka Hungry Jacks in Aust) and McDs. Have to agree about the raising of livestock, etc. That's the farmers job, McDs job is to cook and market their burger/food range.
  8. Have to say that the Opening was indeed impressive, and the torch lighting after running around the roof would have to be up there with Barcelona, or even Cathy Freeman's waterfall lighting back in Sydney over 8 years ago.
  9. Since then, usually 7-8 hours on a weekend, goes down to 5-6hours on a weekday pending freelance work hours (work hours change regularly depending on work picked up).
  10. Patience, my friend, is always the key. Seems to be a favourite saying with almost everybody.But yes, have to agree that you shouldnt give up so easy even if its one slight mishap.
  11. Best I can suggest is to PM the moderators of the Hosting Applications section and explain your situation.
  12. Seems to be popular reason in australia as well. Interestingly enough, the Local McDs here always advertises that they use home-grown beef for most of their burgers.
  13. KFC = abbreviation for Kentucky Fried Chicken (pretty much known as KFC worldwide those days). And as for avoiding Fast Food, I dont blame ya, considering its not really healthy but useful for the odd occasion or 2.
  14. Both are equally greasy and fattening when it comes to their offerings on the menu. KFC definitely uses more OIL in their chicken as evidenced by the oil left on the packaging! But in regard to taste, perhaps Hot and Spicy chicken at KFC is better. But the McD's chicken burgers menu are just as good as the KFC burgers.
  15. Good point, thats why certain foods, especially microwave like lunches seem to suit those that are always on the go and/or outdoor type workers (eg gardners,construction workers, high rise building cleaners, and the like)
  16. I dont know why this old topic has been brought up, but it'll be interesting to see the WotLk previews now considering BC was suppposed to be impressive back then. I liked exploring the outlands, but it did seem like a long level grind then, especially with the Pre-BC raid guilds turning into levelling guilds (just a shame that some imploded before they got to level 70).
  17. I kinda wish World PVP was brought back, hassle a small town those days on most servers (PVP included) and very little to no-one on the opposing side would give a crap at all. Especially if your on a server where your faction is hopelessly outnumbered by the other in player population. I remember the old days of Tarren Mill v Southshore, or levelling a alt on Stranglethorn Vale which getting ganked often on a alt, (or ganking a alt) leads to mains, and their friends and their friends friends bringing their 70s around for some 'zerg' style World PVP.
  18. I have to say even though some fast food joints advertise their "healthy products" as healthy, I do have doubts over what is listed on the packaging, especially with the content of extras, fat, etc. Whether its the truth or not is another question. But like another poster said, its better to do the research on the food being offered by the fast food 'provider'.
  19. If a person tried to commit suicide for reasons other than stated by previous posts (eg family problems, behavioural issues (which may stem from the former or other), drugged, etc). It's clear that the person involved is not sane, so instead of going to jail, they should be sent to a mental hospital and be observed regularly whilst being checked up on why they may have attempted this.But in another case, eg a pensioner that is sick, with very little to no chance of recovery, a chance for them to pass away peacefully from natural causes.
  20. Even if you do win a carny type game, its more likely you wouldve paid a fair amount for a numerous amount of attempts to get the ball into a particular slot, through the hoop, the ring on the bottle or any form of game that requires co-ordination. I dont know if its rigged or not (fence sitting this), but obviously the operators would've at least made it as hard as possible. Obviously to make money and not be a free-"item" giver for a easy game.
  21. I hadnt watched American Football that much, but have to say its format is similar to Rugby. Although obviously both types have different rules on how it is played.

    Russia

    I dont blame ya for not thinking much of GWB, although I am from Australia and US politics doesnt concern me as much. As for Russia, yes for the most part most of Russia is a cold place, although there are some beautiful places in Russia which seems to be worth seeing. The history was pretty interesting to learn back in the school days, especially in the old days of the USSR and the communism government it operated under before USSR's dissolution.
  23. Whilst I'd have to agree that the girl did overract a bit too much, I wouldve have to say if you had moved on you would've kept stories of the ex to yourself unless if the partner had asked about it and/or other things. Example being those that move on from a previous relationship, yet may have had a child with the last partner.
  24. Scarlie Suicidal or Scarmie Emo . I don't know since scenes and arts are not of my reportaire
  25. Reply to the above, its why many 'public' toilets are so horribly disgusting and poorly maintained. Apart from the P.Toilets in major megaplexes (or huge shopping plaza/centres/complexes/etc). I know a few friends that even bring their own toilet paper and wrap it around the seat just to prevent themselves from getting some kind of 'disease' or sickness. I probably dont blame some of them if its in a poorly maintained Public Toilet.
