    That's happened so many times to me, but I love the feeling when I eventually find what I'm looking for. :awesome:

    Oh dear, I'm really behind on these things. Could you define e-sports for me? :blush:

    EDIT: Oh my! :eek:
    It happens to me a lot with songs at parties, but I'm usually too drunk to remember the lyrics. The last one was a drum and bass (not typically my preferred genre to be honest), but was catchy, but the only word I can remember is something along the lines of 'polly'. :/

    And e-sports is gaming viewed in a similar format to that of sporting events (live viewers). Typically tournaments and such.

    Take http://sc2casts.com/ for example, or Barcraft

    I'd like to say thanks to whoever nominated for the mod position. I have a feeling it's someone from this thread or the y12 one, so thanks

    Nice

    Nope, I'm not sure about that yet...I think I'm going to leave that for the future
    I want to work for BAE, Aston Martin or maybe the Royal Navy but doubt the last one.

    I don't get plastered if that's what you're trying to imply, all just matter of knowing your limits, and I'm not out every weekend

    I just read in the Independent about teens riding mopeds. Did you now it only costs about £100-£150 for a used moped? You only need one days worth of driving lessons also. Thats cheaper than buying the bike I want!
    However, my mum would never let me get one :lol:

    I'm getting a moped next year! A lot cheaper than driving a car, won't get people trying to cadge a lift off me haha and insurance and stuff is cheaper depending on engine size. My dad used to have a moped. However my nana will want me to be careful as her brother died on a motorbike so she hates any type of bike with an engine.

    So what profession does everyone want to go into? I would quite like to get into medicine
    Something Mathematically or Physics related. The idea of completing a PhD in Mathematics and becoming a Researcher in an area of Pure Mathematics seems very appealing at the moment. But, as everything does, it has it's pros and cons..

    I also like the look of what they do at CERN in Geneva, and would like to go over there in the summer to attend a summer school as an undergraduate. This could highly influence the career path that I would like to take.

    I understand where you are coming from. I don't drink much at parties, as I like to be level headed at all times, and I don't like doing things that I wouldn't normally do. I usually drink with my dad at the pub though. But like you said, in moderation.

    Cool!

    My school are currently working with CERN actually to launch a satellite into space. And I'm allowed to join that project next year, so it should be interesting

    Yeah, basically. Only this night in question (where I couldn't remember the song lyrics) I ended up playing drafts with shots with friends beforehand... and lost. Never again.

    But I've seen too many people make a fool out of themselves, and do something they regret the morning after from drinking too much, but I know that I wouldn't ever want to wish that state upon my self.

    Nah, it was nothing like that, although, good song.

    Nirvana's Unplugged in New York is a fantastic live album.

    sitting at my kitchen table trying to psyche myself into some revision after being away for a week, thus doing pretty much zero revision doesn't help that I have a cousin in private school who's going into school early to do revision (!!!) thus, the comparisons are drawn WAAAH

    Just wait for college


    Too right. Revising badly could lead to bad habits. And also you don't take half the information in when you just skim read things! I much prefer to concentrate 100% whilst revising, just so I make the most of it and make it worth while. I don't go on my computer or phone whilst I'm revising, I turn them both off! And I try to sit somewhere quiet too, although that is quite difficult in my house :P

    I'm in London, have been here cheering my big brother on, as he ran the London Marathon today.

    He finished a short while ago.

    I'm now sitting outside a pub with my parents, waiting for my brother, so we can take him home. He's got his own flat in London, but he's coming back home for a few days, so my mum can look after him. Big baby!
