    I suppose that depends upon your definition of 'close'. If you live in a large country then yes, it's going to be close :) The geography doesn't differ wildly, although there are of course many subtle differences in terms of the landscape, soil, vegetation and what-have-you.

    But, I love the Peak District; it's nicely sandwiched between Derby, Sheffield and Manchester so it's also quite accessible.

    EDIT: Samuel, you had muuuch better weather than me, evidently :D

    Haha, the photos are completely deceptive. I was out there for maybe 8 hours, and I spent 1 one of them huddled under a tree because it was literally too rainy and windy to go anywhere without getting completely covered in mud. The weather went from very sunny to heavy rain about 4 or 5 times.

    Bloody English weather.

    With lots and lots of sheep

    I suppose this is partly relevant because I know my parents were considering a National Trust membership for me

    to perhaps be a Christmas present...maybe

    The one present I was kinda pleased with this year was to my secret satan and unfortunately he's not received it yet :(

    DVDs/CDs and games and chocolates have been the rather generic gifts for everyone else.

    OH MY!

    I was searching for some more witty English-esque images and I found possibly the most disturbing image ive ever seen on the interwebs.

    GIS "spotted dick", second page( filter off of course) You should see the one im talking about.

    This is more then NSFW, this is NSFATDWTSOTETTGROTI (Not safe for anyone that doesn't want to scratch out their eyes trying to get rid of the image)

    hey Peter

    everytime i even suggest something clothes-wise, she looks at me like i suggested she wear a furry costume and give me a lapdance so i can't do clothes

    my taste is bad.

    Bite the bullet and give her a gift certificate to the mall or her favorite store and a note saying you want to go shopping with her. It will be a huge pain in the ass for a few hours, but she'll get what she wants and you'll get some sex out of it for spending time quality time with her doing something she likes.

    She obviously likes giving lap dances. Give her advice on how to pursue this professionally. It'll give her the direction in life she's always talking about.

    we are decent folk, Peter!

    why, the sheer audacity of your suggestion

    Did a national court in your country not recently elevate stripping into the realms of decency? Is it there a stripper not considered as much an artist as any painter, flutist or opera singer?

    rubbing your buttocks against my crotch is not the same as performing a symphony or painting Saturn Devouring One of His Sons

    Then I believe this is your only course of action

    [spoiler:e4b70094dc]My dick in a box[/spoiler:e4b70094dc]

    That is one of my new favorite vids

    I never really liked Justin Timberlake, but I will no longer discount anything he does. That is one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

    When he's on SNL, he is hysterical. The Homelessville sketch was pretty much the Omeletteville sketch from when he first hosted, yet still funny as most anything in recent SNL history. I wish I could find the video of Omelettesville, but it lives on in my memories.


    This is the funniest thing I have seen in a long time. Justin Timberlake just went from faggo to McGruff the crime dog in a matter of seconds.

    I got a nice set of poi from a friend.

    And Dragonball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2 for the Wii from another friend.

    And a belt with a batarang for a belt buckle from yet another friend.








    And I gave a signed copy of Mark Brook's sketchbook to my friend Sarah.
    She likes Spider-Man so I figured there was no one better to go to.

    I am getting Lindsay a sewing machine, a hand mixer, Cooking Mama for the DS, Brain Boost Beta Wave for the DS and a very, very awesome stuffed "fishing guy" from Animal Crossing.

    I also found the name decals for my dad's El Camino, since I drew his name this year. He sort of inherited his father's old El Camino when he passed away, and has been restoring it into a hot rod, and just got it back from being repainted and getting a bunch of bodywork done, and he has been talking about how he'd love to get the emblems for it, but he's had a hard time finding them. They will be a total surprise, and a nice way to help out on a project that means a lot to him.

    what?

    dude, she's been wanting a sewing machine for a long time, and she loves to bake.

    Believe it or not, getting something like that for a woman doesn't mean "hurr hurr hurr get your ass back in da kitchen and make me a sammich, bitch"

    Sometimes it just means "here is some stuff to help do things you enjoy"
