I find that the best thing to avoid a raging hangover is to drink a few pints of water before you go to bed.

Compared to other liquors like rum, and whiskey I fine that it's give a more tolerable hangover. Of course nothing is going to save you if you buy the vodka that comes in cheap plastic bottles, heh.

Well, it should have, except she wasn't working - I still played darts for a bit and just sent her a text. *crosses fingers, still smiles*

Yeah, it's a bit of a stretch that one.

Who knows what the future holds? Could be a nice holiday.

It might but how would she be with a bunch of guys who know each other on the internet? :P

Woah, woah. Let's just cool the jets there a second or two. I've been single for 13 weeks. I'm trying not to give the impression that I'm on the rebound. If she wants a relationship, she can have me. If not, I'm cool with having a friend like her. It feels like I've known her for years already and we were only drinking / hanging out for about five and a half hours.

Sure, I've earned a second "date", but I'm playing it cool, as if there's anything I'm unsure about, regarding her, it's how she wants to play this. Are we just friends (Personally, I hope not, though if it's all that's going, she could be an awesome friend), or is there something more?

I didn't know you broke up with your former girlfriend. I thought "date with a lovely lady" was a bit of an odd way to describe "going somewhere with your girlfriend", so I thought I'd ask.

But yeah, I would play it cool for now if I were you and see what's gonna happen. I think you can hardly tell anything about her if you have known her for only five and a half hours.

Nobody pays any attention to my news posts :(

I've known her a little longer than that. We've just been talking for 5.5 hours. I'm happy to see how it pans out for now. Maybe she does want a relationship, maybe it's just friendship she seeks. Either way, I win.

Very. I've been penalised for minor things while others have gotten away with bigger offences. I even see nudity on avatars now.

No idea why people even want to do that. To let us all know you look up nude pictures on the internet? It's not very nice for your fellow users either. Things could get a bit awkward with colleageus, parents or friends watching.

I think you're right there. The one time that I was really drunk was when I was drinking a lot of vodka. I was surprised the next morning that I didn't have a hangover at all. It wasn't even a prenium brand or anything, just the cheapest brand we could find.

Picking out the right wine is too confusing for me so I just avoid it all together.

It's usually written on the bottle what it tastes best with. Not that I care though, I usually just pick one that seems reasonably priced.

Be ready to settle for it and if you get anything else, it's a very welcome bonus ;) I didn't say it would prevent me from trying :P

Well of course you could aim for the 'friend with perks' and make yourself comfortable. I mean, you can basically have most of the good parts of a relationship without being too committed. Then see where it goes from there.

One good thing is that we can cheaply borrow some money without many consequences, but of course we would only use that as a last resort.

Oh yeah, I know about your apartment. An apartment is what I should look into but only if I've got a permanent full-time job. Otherwise, forget it.

I can recommend a pretty steady, secure source of income, but that should be obvious. If you gotta pay several hundred pounds a month, you'll run low on resources pretty quickly without a proper income.

Yeah it's nice how laptops can be concealed so easily. I feel much more comfortable browsing the General Forum with my parents in the room than I was with my desktop.

Yeah, it helps me a lot as well, except for when my dad watches TV in the living room. Always sitting next to me but at least it's just half an hour to watch a crappy soap opera.

Oh well, you can just do something else for a little while then. Or stick to the Wi/Ht? Forum.

Yeah, when it comes to the dark liquors I tend to be moderate about them because they can and will hurt later on. Now vodka when I have it around is a free for all. It just goes great with a lot of things.

It's usually written on the bottle what it tastes best with. Not that I care though, I usually just pick one that seems reasonably priced.

Some do over here but most don't have anything on the label. Most try and create the prettiest label to convince people it's the best one while leaving in the dark about tastes.

I'm happy to just see where it goes. I must just remember not to play "Fuck Her Gently", by Tenacious D on my iPod if we end up in my car. Mind you, she ended up playing with the iPod last time, so if she plays it, my luck could be in :P

So am I, though with "drinks" set for Thursday, I might have to pop to the shop and buy a large carton of custard, just in case.

Yeah, I really think we should make a note that it should be limited to just once a year from now on. The last few end year awards have shown users CAN remember threads from the first half of the year so why even bother with the mid year awards?

Looks like I'm in the run for Best Mod again. I might get in the finals for Never Logs Off but I've already won these awards so I'm all good if someone else wins them.

Looking at your level icon, I'm starting to regret not taking five minutes to vote daily for the last seven years :<

Well, there's no space for regrets - look at Haggard, he would be ahead of me, with his 9-10 years on Newgrounds. He's not bitter.

Now that's not how slow I'm trying to play it, but I'd be lying if I said I weren't after something a litlle more than friends :P

I wasn't playing slow. I just wasn't sure if I wanted to be more than "friends", so I talked with my best friend about it. He said: "Go for it!" and so I did. ^_^

Yes. It's not really a metal band, though. But still hard rock.

If it can be considered metal, it's all good.

I don't think there's a clear line between Hard Rock and Heavy Metal. So I guess it's all right.

I'm sure there are others out there.

If even you don't know there can't be that many left.

Anal Cunt had some kind of cult status, but Seth still was a fucking racist. :/

Seth was racist? All I knew from him that he was a huge IRL troll.

Well, he also was involved with the "White Power" band Vaginal Jesus. I don't think you can say songs like "Coon Bashin'" are only there to provoke the audience...
