"don't like sweet food

You are right to be pessimistic - there is nothing to live for without sweet food. give up.

I have to admit, I'd be miserable if a trip to HDIF was in prospect.

― Tom (Groke), Thursday, 8 September 2005 13:40 (twenty years ago)

actually that's the only thing i'm looking forward to so far

― ken c (ken c), Thursday, 8 September 2005 13:41 (twenty years ago)

still, nice try.

― ken c (ken c), Thursday, 8 September 2005 13:42 (twenty years ago)

FIFA 06 is out soon.

but that optimism may not be good for your health

aw sgs i ate one of those this morning. it was a little burnt though. :( but did make me feel happier.

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 9 September 2005 12:47 (twenty years ago)

yes but is FIFA06 going to be the poor man's pro evo again?

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 9 September 2005 12:48 (twenty years ago)

i like HDIF

― terry lennox. (gareth), Friday, 9 September 2005 12:50 (twenty years ago)

I'm sorry Ken, but I think optimism is one of those non-communicable diseases.

No matter how bad things get, just remember: at least Jim Morrison is still dead.

ah, but Pro Ev 5 is also out soon, and it's supposed to be even better than 4, which to my mind is nigh-on impossible since Pro Ev 4 was the first game (of any genre) to top Sensi, but STILL i believe the hype and i'm expecting Pro Ev 5 to end famine and war across the globe and to gently bring me to climax with its non-stop end-to-end excitement and the sheer thrill of my being so good it hurts and far better than anyone outside of Korea I WILL TAKE ON ALL CHALLENGERS AND DISPATCH THEM WITHOUT MERCY just like with the last two.

there you go: optimism.

i even see Res evil 4 is due for a playstation2 release soon

yeah but that means i'm going to be playing this game day and night and trying to beat master league for months, not eating well, not sleeping well and going to work with no energy, unable to concentrate and start making mistakes. and any decent job prospects go down the drain.

i liked jim morrison :( on the tube i never stand well clear of the doors.

You aren't on holiday in Belfast. (I feel so sorry for the tourists. And a bit ashamed).

― Crackity (Crackity Jones), Tuesday, 13 September 2005 13:53 (twenty years ago)

i'm not on holiday anywhere :(

hey, add the immediate prospect of one in four people about to be laid off where i work, and that's my life you're bitchin' about, brother. watch yer lip.

how come whenever i've been at HDIF i've never spotted the haunted visage of a fellow Pro Ev ghoul? next time you're there, find me and we can arrange a face off. i'll be the slightly nerdish looking guy wearing glasses...

― Lee F# (fsharp), Tuesday, 13 September 2005 14:05 (twenty years ago)

If you like Jim Morrison, you don't deserve optimism.

― n/a (Nick A.), Tuesday, 13 September 2005 14:06 (twenty years ago)

i'm going this friday if you are! i wear glasses and i have just had a hair cut. i'm going to speak to every nerdish looking guy in HDIF to ask if they're Lee F Sharp!

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 13 September 2005 14:11 (twenty years ago)

n/a that is true (although at least as i just xposted myself i just cut my hair so maybe i no longer no longer no longer wanna be jim morrison)

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 13 September 2005 14:13 (twenty years ago)

i don't know what i'm doing yet. if i'm not there, you can ask Rupert (THE Rupert) for a character reference. if he feigns ignorance, say "Lee, you know, half-Latvian, from Coventry, with the big round face and the glasses". he'll know.

― Lee F# (fsharp), Tuesday, 13 September 2005 14:21 (twenty years ago)

haha ok! i'll see who i can find.

maybe i'll just challenge random people to a Pro Evo showdown anyway! wow, i wish the girls will allow me to bring my playstation to our club (although we'll need also a projector then).
