I still haven't done any four-wheeled driving (apart from quadbike on holiday, but that hardly counts) and at times, it's been very frustrating, due to limited carrying capabilities and family/friends avoiding accepting a lift at seemingly any cost.
Since I turned 15, I have had 3 motorbikes and 3 different categories to take tests for. They've got harder as they've gone on and I even failed my >125cc (category 'A' in Britain) practical first time. I had lessons only in the run-up to practicals.
Personal transport is pretty much a must in Guernsey because it's pretty much all rural. The public transport system consists of infrequent buses that all go through the central hub in the capital and has a fair few black spots.
At the moment, the cost of having a motorcycle are perfectly feasible but if I were to get a car, everything would go through the roof, particularly the cost/maintenance of the vehicle, lessons and insurance. I'll get a car when I actually need one.
I envy Avistew for having the right to move to California.
Rather Dashing has transcended to new levels of pointless gloating and plans to sell on eBay in the far future for naiiveably-hopefully a good profit. If you have another reason for hogging several limited editions, I'd like to hear it. In any case, I'll go fuck myself in pre-empting your response.
He did it because he could. The system kept adding them to his orders without increasing shipping, so he picked them up for the hell of it. He's discussed this on here before, I think.

Yeah but what would he do with EIGHT copies of the SAME GAME? Sell them off on Ebay?
I got my first driver's license when I was 13. Yes, that's right. The U.S. state I was living in at the time had a law that you needed to be 16 to get a driver's license for a car, but you could get a moped or motor scooter license at 13, allowing you to drive them on public roads. That may make no sense, but I stopped trying to figure out the logic behind laws a long time ago. Anyway, when I turned 15, I got a learner's permit for a car, meaning I had both a driver's license and a learner's permit at the same time. It was fun confusing everyone.
Driving can be very expensive. There's the purchase price of the car/vehicle, probably divided into payments (or a lease), sales tax on the purchase, insurance (which is extra expensive when you're young), the cost of gas, repairs, and maintenance, and licensing/registration costs, along with personal property taxes where applicable. My finance program puts the Automotive category second behind Housing expenses. And you can lose it all in an instant. Nobody would drive, except that it's so gosh darn convenient.
I just read all 43 chapters of My Immortal in one go...I am going to commit suicide now. Don't worry that fic has taught me that committing suicide don't do jack shit!

Wow. You're more hardcore than me, and I read badfics as a hobby!
I think Rather Dashing has abused Telltale, even if technically the glitch that gave him the opportunity might have been Telltale's fault. It's almost stealing. Couldn't you give them back, so that others have the opportunity to buy and the rightful people (Telltale) can profit?
I'm seriously surprised after the incident Telltale haven't made it policy to allow shipping of only one DVD to each PC download series a customer has paid for (that allows for people who have bought one for themselves and one/more as a gift).

Makes perfect sense to me. France also has different types of licenses, all for different vehicles and many with different ages. For instance 16 for a A license (two-wheeled vehicles), 18 for a B license (car) or a C license (cargo truck), 21 for a D license (stuff like buses, big vehicles with passengers in them).
Once you have one though, you don't get a different card for each. Here is what the card looks like, you'll understand better: side 1side 2
It folds in 3.

We raised awareness of the issue the second we noticed. Official word was "we don't care, do whatever you want" and they never fixed it, despite being told about it, and responding therefore proving they were aware of the issue. I see absolutely nothing wrong with taking something that has been given to you willingly, as is obviously the case at this point. Still, he didn't buy a bunch a resell them, he's keeping them on his desk, so I'm going to say he was just wondering if the glitch could be reproduced, or something.
I'm not aware of it working the same way for any other title, though. We only spotted it for Monkey Island, although to be fair it was mostly because of the Deluxe Edition, that people could order as many times as they wanted for basically nothing.
Story Time!
I've been having issues with the divorce, and found out I can get a free lawyer, but I wasn't sure how or where to ask for one. So I went to the City Hall to ask and they sent me to the Court House, after giving me a map of the city and explaining to me how to get there.
I didn't have too much trouble finding it thanks to the map, sadly I had neglected to tell the ladies at the City Hall that it was for a divorce, and I found myself at the Criminal Affairs Court House. They nicely explained that I needed to address myself to the Family Affairs Court House, which was pretty much right next to the City Hall (maybe five minutes away).
Sadly unlike the City Hall ladies, the officer at the Court House couldn't give me a specific street, and the city is full a small streets. I did find my way around in the end though and surprisingly it was the right place. They gave me the right paperwork I'd need to fill.
Every time I deal with French stuff, things get done in the end, but I can't help but be reminded of this. Things haven't changed too much since they made this movie.
I'm aware today's experience was really nothing, I've been experiencing worse regularly the past few months (I only went to 3 different places and they were only half an hour apart each) but it reminded me of the (not always so) good old days.
Well. Now I need to fill the file and provide all the paperwork they need. And obtain that paperwork first. That's going to be fun :P
Absolutely weird and hilarious. You must all watch and appreciate its awesome.
We showed off a few things to each other too.
I showed off my Arcade machine, which we didn't really have much time to get into, and he showed off his super awesome mega laptop supreme.
Seriously, the thing had a high end ATI Mobility Graphics Card, 4 gigs of DDR3 Ram, 2! 2! Freakin' harddrives in it, a massive screen, top speakers, and the piece du resistance:
An Intel i7 Processor.
This thing was running crysis with most of the settings on high.
It...was.....beautiful..... *sniff*
Played a few PC games and talked about stuff, and then he had to go home.
God I shouldn't be so childishly excited, but it truely is a rare and marvelous thing for me.
I hardly ever see my best friend.
Busy lifestyles and a 2 hour bus journey between us makes it very, very difficult to meet up.
But when we do, we make the most of it.
EDIT: In fact, in hindsight, I was actually pretty worried that he wouldn't turn up.
But eventually I got a message from him, saying that he got lost on the way here.
Which was pretty funny, as he used to boast that he knew how to get here no problem.
He actually asked me if I moved!?!? XD
He went to someone's house, who he thought was mine, and scared a poor lady half to death.
Even funnier, was that he was so, so close to my house (literally a right turn away!) too!
I did find him pretty easily as he waited at the shop, and I walked him back.
XD lol. Well, it's a good song for us anyways. But, it's strange for Star Trek. Enterprise got a lot better, actually, just all too late . But, it was replaced by something stupid like "Get off the Bus"...

My state's driver's license:
It's the size, shape and thickness of a credit card. The heart indicates that the person is an organ donor.
From 7 AM to nearly midnight, my day consisted of nothing but nonstop listening to "My Brother, My Brother and Me", and I plan to continue tomorrow.
Podcasts are destroying me.
Also, I'm pretty sure I burst a blood vessel laughing at this show no less than five separate times. Even now, I'm giggling uncontrollably at Giant Scott Bakula, finding religion inside of a horse, and Peepum's Nastygum.
, a biologist at Oklahoma State University, argued that a smart-enough species could develop a quantum computer and eventually transfer their consciousnesses into it.
"No more inefficient metabolism requiring huge energy input, no chemically derived bodies to wear out, no reproduction, no death, no taxes. Just supermassively parallel collective consciousness with unlimited capabilities," he wrote. "Perhaps, through super symmetry or entanglement, they can "see" or "feel" the entire universe. Maybe, they've gained the ability to manipulate elementary particles and can control its evolution and its fate. They would have become, by any human definition, Gods."
And there you have what I've been lead to believe the truth. And I believe it is the truth. And I do believe that they are in effect our gods.

He's shown what he's doing with them - stacking them on his desk!
It's not much, but it is a start!

Just a few more and it will reatch the moon.
Wow. Those are BIG slipcovers. I should get a few. Then I could use them as an impromptu step-stool to reach those top shelves!
Wow. You're more hardcore than me, and I read badfics as a hobby!
If it taught me anything its that its perfectly ok to kill preps and have sex in movie theaters...I knew that one already though.
I don't really want to know which one you already knew...
O.o

Paperweight, bribing tool, to wind up Telltale for a loophole he found...

DAMN! WHOOOO! What a song! DAMN! LOL! I love it!
Shame he couldn't stay, as he was going on holiday tomorrow, but the few hours we spent together were so, so fun!
This was the highlight of the day, watching this on the TV:

Is this what you do on Friday?
Incidentally, DS9's theme was better.
It's my pre-drinking warm up!

They should have used this actually. Fits a lot better.
My state's driver's license:
It's the size, shape and thickness of a credit card. The heart indicates that the person is an organ donor.
I didn't like the original DS9 theme, it was way too long. After they redid it (when Defiant is featured), it's much better.
That man looks incredibly angry about his licence renewal.
Just a warning: If two men in white overcoats show up at your door asking for your liver, LOCK THE DOOR AND RUN.
What he's referencing.
This is also worth watching.
its really not a good idea to post such information on the internet
Is the trivia on Drinks Women Music and Dancing?
Yeah, John Doe from Nowhere, how dare you!
Read the information on that card. OBVIOUSLY it is a sample. an example. a fake. fictious.
obviously.
