    Jaywalking

    A fancy term for a reckless way of crossing the road, basically. Have any of you done it, or attempted to do it? I've done it several times where I'm quite good at judging the distance and timing between myself and the incoming vehicle, but I nearly got knocked down one time though :unsure:

    Windows 10

    I spotted a thread about its new browser so, let's have a discussion of the new operating system as a whole, before it is released some time this year. What's everyone's thoughts, opinions and expectations of it so far? Could it do better than its predecessors, or maybe suffer the same fate as...

    EBM/Industrial/Futurepop

    I'm pretty sure nobody knows of these music genres, or maybe a few. Anyway, I can't really explain what they are so you're better off going to Wikipedia for some research, but I can provide some names of these genres that I like, that are the following: Neuroticfish Assemblage 23 Icon Of Coil...

    Can't view Unicode characters in Notepad

    I have ran across a strange problem with Notepad... I was able to view Unicode characters on Notepad before, even some of my own Notepad files (that contain Japanese text) until I now see them as boxes. Fortunately, if I copy text containing Unicode characters into something else (like Word)...

    Graphic request...

    I have thoughts on opening a new DeviantArt group but, there is one problem. I need a group image for it which I failed to make myself, which is to be 100x50 and containing the text Nature Oddities, which is the name of the proposed group. Also, it is to have a green fancy background and fancy...

    Names of these films?

    I have watched many films over the years, and there are some films where I can remember a particular scene well but the name of the film itself has slipped out from memory. Here are the following bits I can remember in each film: A film that had the "Mr. Highway" scene, where Mr. Highway was a...

    When did/will you start work?

    Nebulous asked if anyone has a job, so here's my variant of the subject. As the title suggests, when did you start work? And if you're not at work at the moment, when do you think you'll start it? For me, I am currently at college and I think I may start work when I'm in my late 20s, if I one...

    Mysterious clown in Northampton

    Source Should've posted this yesterday when first knowing about it at college (when a classmate looked this story up), but this is beyond strange. It was claimed a hoax until proven to be real. Creepy... :shock:

    Facebook "involved in 1000 crimes"

    Source Well, this is no surprise, as many other crimes that were Facebook-related were done for a long while, let alone just the past year.

    Colonel Meow, the cat with the longest fur

    Full article. Saw this on GMTV News today. I have to say that this cat needs brushed a lot, more than any other cat with long fur D:

    Numbness from sleeping

    Have any of you gotten a form of numbness while sleeping and experience it when waking up? I have, where both of my arms became completely numb for a few minutes after I woke up yesterday morning. Hate it when it happens... though I've had the usual pins and needles on one of my hands, and had...

    My first piece of music (INCOMPLETE)

    Please excuse me for posting this in the wrong section... this forum doesn't have a section where anyone's music works can be posted. Anyway, as requested by Jazzy who has been quite eager about this, I have written my first piece of music with MilkyTracker, called Black Lava. It is a goa...

    Preferred mode of transportation

    If you go somewhere such as college, university or just like to travel, what's your preferred mode of transportation? For me, I prefer to use the train. It's a lot faster to get from A to B, even though the nearest station is a 10 minute walk from me which is fine.

    Racism in Switzerland...

    Some of you may know that Oprah Winfrey, a well-known talk shot host and one of the richest women in the world, was recently a victim of racism when she was at Switzerland, where this came when she tried to purchase a handbag costing around £24,000 (don't know how much that is in Euros) and the...

    Do you still use email?

    I made this thread because apparently, many people I know don't use email anymore for whatever reason. You don't always need email to just keep in touch with people... it's there for you to receive newsletters from sites if you want them sent to you or to activate your account when you have...

    Songs and their meanings

    Most songs have a meaning to them, so this is the thread to discuss each song and what messages they're trying to convey, or a reference to a major event. I know of one, which is Boomtown Rats' "I Don't Like Mondays" where it was written right after Bob Geldof read a telex report about the...

    Train derailment in Spain

    Source. Just heard about this on the news, and it's really sad. Just as bad as the train crash that happened at Brétigny-sur-Orge, France two weeks ago. It is said that speeding may have caused this but investigations are going underway, even with the train driver being questioned. Also, there...

    Photo fix?

    I was out for some photography today where I took this nice shot, but there's a problem I didn't notice until now. There is a large dark area covering most of the photo caused by a shadow and I've tried my best at fixing it with GIMP to no avail, as I'm not that experienced with photo-editing...

    Summer sucks

    Summer is a season that doesn't please with everyone, including myself. Okay, it was fun when I was much younger but now, it's a season that I hate for a multitude of reasons. One is the unbearable heat especially when right now, it is about 27°C and during this long hot spell, I had to have my...
