Do whatever you guys want.... I give up.


Aw, beem. I hope you're not including me in this because I'm going to try my best to keep things on topic from now on. I guess kita and I both just got carried away and I'm sorry if we upset you in any way. :(

On topic: it bothers me that there is nothing that's bothering me at the moment so I can keep this on topic. :sweat:

My apologies to all... I just got frustrated with the off-topicness and the apparent disrespect of a moderator's duties.

It's a lose-lose. :puppydog:

It is!!!

I was doing some research for work today to get some inspiration on branding. Two things I came across really bothered me!

Peter Brabeck - CEO of Nestle and his cute views on how water shouldnLt be a human right but traded and valued like any other food.

Wallpaper Design Awards given to models and personal shoppers - what do they design??? Plus total decadence: best chopper designed by Hermes at a couple of millions ...

Speaking of brands, what's up with your neighbors, the Germans, I hear they are pissed off that Nokia is closing it's German plant to move operations to Romania where labor is cheaper.

Yes, but they keep forgetting that Romania is now a EU member - it stays - so to speak- in the same country anyway. :D
And Nokia respected all contracts as far as I know. I feel sorry though for the 2000 workers who trusted their company!

It's always better to let it out instead of keeping it in. :good:

On Topic: Exam time. :bleh: Kids suddenly sprout claws. Scary stuff.

A baseball bat would work too. :hehe:

I ate at Subway today in Union City, and three cops came in to order. The cashier computer froze and we all had to wait for about ten minutes for them to reboot. That was a very uncomfortable and bothersome 10 minutes. The cops looked at me, and I looked that them....:sweat:. I'm still suspicious of them after the way the SRPD used to treat my friends and I when I was a teenager.

I thought about that, but since Wyn-chan is in Canada, I thought cricket was more appropo. :)

That'll teach you to go out without your Cosplay mongoose outfit. :beaten:

Yeah, I feel that way when a cop pulls alongside me at a signal... I keep thinking he's looking for ANY excuse to pull me over just to roust me. :sweat:

Haha, I probably would have been beaten with a baton if I wore that :hehe:.

When I was a teen, the cops would stop my friends and I because we dressed different from everyone and would congregate on a corner of downtown. I even got to see the backseat of a police car because they wanted to scare us. I hate power mongers.
