I like The sparticle mystery and tracy beaker returns. you probaly wont cos ur grown ups :)

I watch Trady Beaker and Tracy Beaker Returns over and over and I am ancient. I don't have a choice in that, but it's still better than most 'grown up' tv.

I just can't imagine a grown up watching CBBC programs. It creeps me out. Like my grampa watching Teletubbies, you get my point?

Wow, my office was cursed today!
First the ceiling above my desk and computers collapsed under a flood of leaky air-conditioning water…
Well technically that happened after I'd gone home yesterday, and the boss and his business partner had done the best to save things and clean it all up. But it meant my ceiling was a massive great gaping hole with a roaring air-conditioner blasting away- if it gets turned off it'll start leaking again so it has to stay on.

So we had a major move of my desk, my comps and monitors and all my other bits and pieces. I crawled around untangling a massive spaghetti of cords and cables, hooked them up all again and turned on the main comp… It worked! Phew…
I was still glad I backed it all up in (doubly) on Monday though.

Also a massive container load of stuff we NEED got delayed for a customs inspection… Then we hear a crane on the wharf collapsed almost on top of it. Then we here the soonest it get get to us cross country with tow truck drives is four days…

Then my favourite pen explodes. T_T

Oh my gosh you've had a pretty horrible day! That sounds like something from a webcomic XD

It's a side effect of having kids. I was quoting thomas the tank engine down the pub the other night, just with a VERY different context.

There's actually a pub down the road from me called The Fat Controller - not my local but it probably will be since my local local is about to be flattened to make way for a block of 'luxury' flats. I'm not sure when 'luxury and 'social housing' came to mean the same thing: mysterious are the ways of Babylon. O.O

All ages have a right to Thomas the Tank Engine.

I was reading Thomas the Tank Engine stories when I was a little kid before the TV show with Ringo Star.

My friend had that problem, it turned out that it needed to be formatted, whatever that means.

Do any of you know what happens in the story Nothern Lights/the movie The Golden Compass? I need to read it for English and I'm too lazy, plus Wikipedia gives very long-winded explanations.

I can't even format it, my computer and PS3 won't even acknowledge the USB is plugged in. College work, comics, everything. Gone. I'm just gonna remain calm, though.

Re: Northern Lights… I remember that book! Had to do it in primary school. I've seen the film as well, but I don't remember what happens (Contadicted myself there). What I do know is that it ends on some sort of cliffhanger as it's the first of a trilogy.
But that wasn't any help at all, was it?

WOAH my USB has just lit up.
But the computer still denies it's existence.

Yeah, i read the last few words, Lyra seems sort of aggressive and then she steps out of the darkness with a wild cat. that doesn't really make much sense to me, as I haven't read much.

remaining calm can be very difficult. I tend to jump on my bed as hard as I can when i get annoyed, gorwling and headbanging. dude, it works.

Query about choices.
Option C. I dunno what it is, but the best solution usually involves shattering your mental construct of the problem.
Great…

To 72: Ha ha ha.
…ha.

It has a lot to to with entities or whatever they were called. If you really want to get a good summation I'd have to go into detail with all three books because I don't remember when she finds her friend in the series, it being the second or first and that's one of the few things I remember.
Was a decent book though.

Yes. Yes he is.

Nah, I'll settle for a nice cup of hot chocolate.

I like to live in hope. I'm not going to give up on this USB. Though I admit I've had it quite some time.

mm, hot chocolate…
i never got the big deal with hot chocolate.
when we went on our school trip to calshot, all my friends had hot chocolate from the machines, but I was the only one who enjoyed the cup of vegetable soup. i'm so healthy!

by the way, i am not "that sayomi girl again" lol, and if its roger you're talking about then it was the first, the northern lights.
I find it hard to get into a book that isn't harry potter or skuduggery pleasant.

I loved those books so much. Everyone basically had a Daemon, a shapesifting animal that is pretty much their soul. Adult daemons have a set form, which they choose when they come of age, which lyra hasn't yet. Soon wild conspiracy theories start flying around about 'dust' which adults cannot see, and Lyra finds her way to the north pole where people are preforming sickening experiments on children.

It's pretty much a epic trilogy with lots of allusions to Catholicism and lol athiest metaphors.

Compared to some of us he's a mere slip of a lad. And is calling someone old considered an insult now? Tracy Beaker doesn't really keep you down with the street.

What was the name of the detective book, Sayomi?


Hey!! M-m-my USB is working again!!
My EXACT reaction, as portrayed by M. Bison
(towards the end of the video)

Copying every damn file on that stick!
Lol, why did you put detective in bold? and It's called Skulduggery Pleasant.

Probably another way of saying "street-wise"

Well, there are two books being discussed currently, and I know the name of Nothern Lights.
And I like writing in bold.

Oh. Doesn't that mean cool? Uhh, well it's my favourite show. Not the first one, but the Returns one, where she's a grown up. I like the characters.

And has every person on here heard of Tracy Beaker? I thought it was for kids?
