One movie everyone and then no-one should see is Nemesis 4. It's a story of a slavic bodybuilder woman who finds herself naked in the ruins of Kosovo hunted by kyborgs. Some of them she manages to seduce and kill between her thighs, while others she has to blow up. THis movie is so awful, and it really has only one scene where everything happens. For some reason when I was 14, my aunt's husband bought me this VCR and we accidentally watched half of it with my father.

they won't even get into a local heavy metal bar because they don't dress creditably enough.

wait a second, since when do people have to dress a certain way to get into a heavy metal bar?Ã,  I have never been to a metal or punk bar that had a strict dress code.

Since they started sacrificing babies there. No, seriously, they tried to get in once, and the doorman said something like "perhaps you shouldn't come in looking like that". But he did let them in on own responsibility. One of them went and was almost hit by a 9 inch nail sticking out of someone's shoulder.

It actually did (see the smiley). I sincerely recommend that to all of you, this thread is the greatest!

Pissed off? I think I can list a couple of things.

I'm pissed off about the fact, that all we have on telly is American soap operas, boring shows and series that are more and more alike. The fact that we have show's like OC to which our youth adapts and starts behaving like them, dressing up like them and getting plastic surgeries like them. The fact that the foreign culture we're introduced to is not the real kind but the one only existant in the studios of hollywood. The fact that we lack shows from all around the world, like der Alte, which is German, and excellent, like Emmerdale, which is British, and crap. The fact that we do not aknowledge any other culture than that of Hollywood, which is the most artificial one. And we adapt that to our tv too. And having read through essays and short stories by the youth of our time, we take that into our thinking too , our imagination is where superstars are, not here in our motherland, or here in reality.

I'm pissed of by the fact that still a huge number of people do not fin global warming a problem that should or could be fought. That people do not realise that a 4 degree change in the average temperature can lead to natural catastrophes beyond imagination, not just nice warm weather with less expenses to warming houses. That greedy people don't agree to cut back on polluting or on using energy because that would mean they'd lose money. And that people are not aware, that if we managed to drop our energy consumption by 20% or transferred it to reproducing sources like solar power, we'll still have to keep cutting back for 100 years before we'll reach the level we begun at. That people like the French government are showing empty actions on behalf of this, such as turning off the lightbulbs from The Eifel tower for 5 minutes in the middle of the night while it takes energy worth 15 minutes to turn them back on even though no-one would be there to see it happen because it's in the middle of the night.

I'm pissed off by religious people trying to convert me to religion. I made my choise, and I do not find it a strength that you have something to believe in. I find it self decieving, and that is the last thing I'd find giving me strength. I find those people close to schitzophrenic or with divided personalities, thinking some deity is watching over them without any proof and then yelling at me for blasphemy while they themselves do what I do, but confess in bloody churches. And the people who decided that my children should be brought up to know christianity even though I value bible as much as I value Silmarillion, thought the latter is more interesting. But I don't see people gibing that to me as the ultimate solution to everything that happens, just because no-one has yet come up with a reason why to do that. And I can't help but despise people on tv yelling how great He is or how he made it all possible. Some say at least they have something to believe in, but what's that really worth if you put all your faith on something that's only defineable in a dogmatic way.

I'm generally pissed off, now that I think of it. I'm pissed off at my friends who can't listen to anything but heavy metal, and everything else is bad, and they claim to be serious about it, but they won't even get into a local heavy metal bar because they don't dress creditably enough. I'm pissed off one of my ex-friends who was with me at my other friends party and came between me and this nice girl when we we're having a good time only because he knew her from before, and started talking bad about me while I was gone for a while, trying to get into the girl's pants. And I'm pissed of his self-centered life, and the shit music he makes and the shit jokes he tells and his ugly girlfriend, which didn't stop him from doing anything. And I'm pissed off my other friend who as long as I was i touch with him pretended to be my friend, but afterwards has kept a distance and frankly I haven't called him either because he's stupid.

I'm pissed off at my university which is full of self-centered idiots who want nothing to do with the outer world and think of themselves as superior beings while they're really the scum of the population with all their stupid pointless traditions that they think impress other people. And I'm sick of Finnish people who are generally stupid as are most people when it comes to politics. When these idiots should vote for people that do stuff for them, they go voting for the nice prime minister guy who is from the redneck party, and still managed to make an agreement after which our farmers pay the costs of farmers in countries such as France and Great Britain, but he's a nice guy, even though he just divorced his wife, cheated on her, and now was hiding his ex from public because was ashamed of her. All you really need to do to be the prime minister of this country is to talk in a sissy voice that the grannies like.

And I'm pissed off at all the grannies in this God forsaken country because they're taking our tax money. They claim, that when they were working they paid all their pension from their salary. Well the thing is, once they were born, after the WW2, they've been causing problems to their parents who had to raise an extreme amount of kids, the biggest amount ever, almost half of our people are born '40-'50. So during the regression of '90 they set a law by which every worker pays 40% o their tax to pension, and from that 40% 75% goes to the old people, only because while they were young they did nothing but had fun. Now we have to suffer for them, and still they claim they don't get enough. they claim they paid for their own, but they don't realise that they themselves set the law only after they were starting to get retired. Giving birth won't do because one can't stay home as a mother when one has to pay pension to half the nation, so we're down on birthrate. And the cruisers are full of these people, they buy cottages from Spain, come to Finland only to get the money, my grandparents, both sides drive brand new cars and still complain, while my mother tries to feed 3 children and an ill husband with them ripping her off.

I'm bored of being pissed off for now, I'll add a lot of things tomorrow :)

I was under the impression that Iron Maiden was Trash Metal of some kind. But arguments about the genre are completely useless. You either like it or not. I could say I personally like Progressive rock, the Eastern European Cantenbury Scene or Rio -kind, if that makes it clearer, but I doubt that it does, so ignore it.

Ok, again... oh I was there to work as a tourist entertainer in ibiza for them in a German hotel. These guys provide hotels with entertainers, and they're from Finland and Dominican republic. Anyway, they made us work overtime, promised to pay our trips. After a while it was time for our salary to be paid, they said they'd only give us half, and to  spanish accounts they opened to us. I agreed to this because I was just leaving and I got all the account details with me and they said I could at any time move them to my account here in Finland. Now I've got the contract which states the amount of days I was there, and my wage/hour and everything. And first of all I was quite satisfied with the 500 e they were going to give me, at least I got something. But later it appears, no matter who I try to contact, I can't access my money. The bank refuses to reply, my employers tell me they'll look into it next week, and nothing happens. One of them once called me from the bank said he was doing the transfer, dont' know what happened. I don't even know if I still have the account because the Spanish bank won't reply my phonecalls, my e-mails or my letter, were they in English or Spanish. Oh, and the Finnish embassy there is of no help. And considering my employer's reputation among the workers, I wouldn't be surprised if they took it all, so I was thinking of scaring them a bit, just to see how they react. THat's the deal, in a nutshell

I find oblidged to inform you all, that ryanair flies from London and ... err, quite a lot of places, and lands just in Tampere, so any, ANYone who is even considering attending, know, that the flight, booked now will be cheap, and the airport isn't far from my place or Visys place either, so a car can be fixed. So please attend you too, I'm bored of speaking Finnish and pretending to speak Swedish.

Hm, my Amiga never played the music in these games, but when it's a name that connects to Cannon Fodder and SWOS, it's always a great loss. Sad thing to happen.

QuoteDear sirs X & Y

My representative asked me to contact you personally first, as to what it comes to my salary. I have been forced to take legal advice after still not getting what belongs to me, so currently there is a lawyer from my union cooperating with a lawyer from the European Union that represents my own party, and my member of the parliament, currently starting a research in Spain. This is because I still after over 6 months haven't recieved my transfer from my bank account, and therefore lack up to 500 euros. My lawyers are currently investigating the bank and my working conditions under which I worked for you, so I'll let you know, that should someone contact you any day within the following month, you'll be aware of the situation.

And looking forwards my representative asked me to appeal to you, that you would check again, if it is possible that there has been a simple mistake. There's still no contact with the bank, they refuse to answer, and that is why he found it better I ask you since it was you who were dealing with the bank earlier, last time just before christmas, but after that I didn't hear from you. We were hoping to save time and resources by making a plea for you to check once again and then letting us know about it. Otherwise we'll have to search the account details, if it's still available, and the transfer details, because there is also a possibility that the bank has transfered the money to a false account, which would make them responsible. This we would find out, but it'd take time and money as I said, and as you were the ones that opened the account, you would have easy access to it. I would really appreciate this, as an employée and as an individual.

yours

TR(me)

There's been some dealing with them in the past, which all ended up in empty promises, and huge costs for me. Say 11 hour working days, almost half the wage, no proof of working except for the contract etc etc, now I'm trying to get my money back. You reckon this would be taken seriously. I know neither of them are native english speakers, nor am I, neither of them are very clever either. I just put a complaint of them in the working ministery of Finland so that they wouldn't get new employées from here, but I think it was in vain, the bitches. All I want is my money.

Isn't there a new version coming with Vista?
#1573
I actually saw them live once. But personally, I think, as Bruce Dickinson is the best heavy-rock singer there is, the band doesn't quite play up to the level. So as I own all his solo albums, I'll keep on listening to them and leave Iron Maiden to those who like it more.

High on PORRIDGE perhaps. Seriously, Norway rocks.

If I ever went to Britain, I'd buy a bowler cap. Then I'd have fun everywhere at all times :D

Eww Korn...

And here's the first good grounds on saying that:

I don't like their music! Now try and tell me I'm wrong with my opinion. Tell me I like them! You can't. because I know better what I like. Because it's my opinion, not the common one. Ok, so I don't see what people like about it, but so what.

I don't give a rat's ass if you don't like them. I don't like them, either. But people should at least have the decency to respect that some people DO and want to discuss them without having people come in here and constantly go "Eww, Korn". Nobody's forcing you to change your opinion. If you don't like them, don't reply to the thread. Is that SO hard?

Got up on the wrong side of the bed, did you :) Relax, it's harmless fun. And there's only this much Korn fans here to keep this alive, so why not give them something to talk about?

It's neat! THough in a way it looks as if the inside wall was longer than the outside one. <- Does that make sense....

Other than that, I think it would benefit from detail to the outer walls, and prolly on the grass, maybe not, but I'd say it's worth the shot. Oh, and you'd prolly want the sheep to be objects or characters other than obstackles in the bg. Just a thought :)

Λοιπον,ψαχνοντας τα fora της κατηγοριας Anime & Manga διαπιστωσα οτι τα θεματα του τυπου ''βοηθηστε με αν βρω το ταδε anime'' ειναι διψηφια στο πληθος,οποτε αφ'ενος,εξ'αιτιας της επιτυχιας που εχει γνωρισει σχετικο θεμα σε παρομοιο forum,και αφ'ετερου για να γινει πιο ευκολη αλλα και ευχρηστη η αναζητητση των anime που ενδεχομενως να ψαχνουμε,δημιουργειται το παρον θεμα.

Well I'll say
