Wahey!

So we haven't had any new news for a couple of days.

Well, here's some. I'm going to GERMANY. For SEVEN WEEKS. That's right. From 4th December to 29th January, I will be in Baden-Wattemburg which is in Stuttgart.

It's the home of Black Forest chocolate, BMW's and other assorted cars, and (so I'm told) some of the best hard liquor in Germany. Oh yeah. I'll be 16. That's the legal drinking age.

I'll be there over Christmas and New Year's. And it'll be winter. Which means white Christmas!! Shut up about my child-like excitement - I've never seen snow!

So yeah. I'm REALLY REALLY excited.

Yay!

6 months 16 days..

Yeha!

Of course, the legal drinking age for *spirits* is still 18, so unfortunately you won't be touching any of that 'best hard liquor'.
Dominic
*shrug*

Don't spoil my excitement :P!!!
Alyx
Wicked! I'll be in Mexico, where I won't be drinking as it's a school trip!!! Are you going with your family?
Chloe
Keep to the theme of "white" christmas when you're surrounded by snow... the yellow stuff is not for eating... and people get pissed off when you use it in snow fights.
other than that, just remember: Steken de Käse in dein bum bum.
Andrew
Mars and I are planning to head to europe over winter, its her only worthwhile holidays:) really pretty in winter time but the downside is you get wang all daylight hours, but hey, its europe!

And Andi noone is putting cheese anywhere near there mate.
Chris
You'll be part of my german family!!

Hooray!!
Sam

Andrew

sven
Yeah I've been to Germany...

It's not that great.

Stuttgart sux0rz too. I've been there. It gets cold. And I was there in autumn.

Watch those Germans...my brother lives there. Since he's been there, he's become...


...strange.
chrls
yeah. might add that the Stuttgardians are a bit anal-retentive-up-themselves so yeah. but do have fun getting drunk. do try liquers if u can. whoever thought of combining chocolate and alcohol was a genius!
sven
So are South Africans.
Alyx
Hah yeah. Could you insult my other 'flaws' as you might see them other than focusing on my nationality.
sven
Four eyes, wanker, high voice, wanker, shrimp, wanker...did I miss something?

Just kidding Sven.
chrls
Good luck Alyx, I hope you enjoy it.
Puchu
Have a wicked time there.

Man, it sounds like we're giving you a tearful farewell because you're going in a matter of <strike>days</strike> months.

(Yes I know HTML doesn't work in comments.)

I'm going to <strike>Germany</strike> Europe too by the way! I'll leave some time in April/May next year and come back for the start of Semester 2 (mid-July). I'll be there during the (Soccer) World Cup, so I'm going to try to get hold of a match ticket. My trip even works with uni: my papers for Semester 1 next year will have open-ended coursework, flexible lecturers and no exams.
robbie
Then why the pluck did you use it then?
chrls
Because everybody who *isn't* retarded can see what he meant.

Obviously you *are* retarded and therefore can't.
Alyx
No, I just don't get why he used it, if he knew he couldn't. If you ask me, you're the retard.
chrls
I don't get why you said 'then' twice.
aymar
Boo-yah.
Alyx
must make me a retard then as i dont know what i means. however, i do know basic C and also java/flash to an extent. Somehow programming in c has helped my flash scripts a bit. Matt Damon

I would have just used '^H' - then everyone would be confused^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hstupid.
Dominic
I had to look that one up. How lame^H^H^H^Hfunny.
robbie
I'd imagine it's pretty hard to look up.
Dominic
Nope. Urban Dictionary, search ^H.
Alyx
Resourceful. There aren't too many things that Google can't tell you, but ^H is one of them. I'm impressed Urban Dictionary has support for punctuation.

Even if they did get the definition slightly wrong.
Dominic
Yay have fun and bring back photos! Lots of photos!
