  1. I once had a discussion with a girl I was seeing in which she seemed to think that if we were on a night out, it would be okay for her to start kissing another girl because it's just a bit of fun (she never admitted to being bi but she clearly was). I told her that if we were together then it absolutely wouldn't be fine with me. I know some guys are okay with that sort of thing and I am definitely the jealous type, but I very much am a one girl kind of guy.

    I asked her what she would think if she went to go and get drinks only to come back and find me snogging some dude on the dancefloor. She said she would be fine with it but I think she only said that to help her argument more and she knew full-well I wasn't bi. I seriously doubt she would have been okay with that. Maybe I'm old fashioned, but if I like a girl enough to enter a relationship with them then the intimacies you share should only be between you and her, otherwise it just makes the whole relationship less special for me.

  2. Just put my brain into gear, you cant use the cartomizer's with the 510 range, only with the echo. So if i go with the starter kit (510 Deluxe), i need to buy the pre-filled cartridges or the refillable ones.

  3. I started with this kit and an extra bottle of e-liquid.

    This should be enough for almost a month's worth of heavy vaping.

    The battery seems to be going ok and have kept the second one as a spare. I've recently ordered some more e-liquids and another cartomiser as I'm not sure how long they will last (but the one I'm using seems to be going on strong).

    Cheers Ricky, im going to go with the cheapo starter kit for £19.99.

    Quick question, what are the e-liquids like that come with it? Also, whats and cartomiser?

    Also, when the cartridges run out (the ones that come with it), is it best to get pre-filled ones or the refillable ones?

  4. How is the South Korean education system 3rd.

    Teenagers get a couple of hours sleep a night due to forced study all filling their heads with 'taught to the test' nonsense. Their entire existence revolves around a single university entry exam at the end of high school.

    They all harbour hopes to end up working for one of the big companies like Samsung, Hyundai, LG etc. who employ people based on the university attended rather than their grade.

    Any Westerner I spoke to that's had a kid in Korea want to send them back to the West before they hit middle school, and my boss sent his son to the UK to avoid the Korean education system (that ironically he is part of).

  5. Anyone else read the story in the papers today about the bloke who is experiencing the same pregnancy symptoms as his missus!?

    MISERABLE Mike Dowdall is enduring morning sickness, hot flushes, cravings and a swollen belly — all because girlfriend Amanda Bennett is pregnant.

    Mike, 25, has the rare phantom pregnancy Couvade syndrome. Amanda, of Manchester, said: “People pay more attention to his bump than mine.”

    Mike initially got the brush off from disbelieving Amanda — until he started suffering morning sickness just like her.

    At first irritated Amanda suspected tattooist Mike was taking the mickey out of her pregnancy symptoms when he complained of feeling queasy.

    But when he started running to the toilet after waking up each morning, she realised it was definitely no joke.

    Mike said: “When I started being physically sick on a daily basis, she began to take me more seriously.”

    When Mike’s symptoms — which now include a swollen belly, hot flushes, exhaustion, water retention and food cravings — became increasingly severe, he consulted his GP.

    The doctor diagnosed an extreme case of Couvade syndrome, whose sufferers experience an intense form of male phantom pregnancy.

    Mike said: “The exhaustion is the worst — but the headaches, heartburn and big belly are not enjoyable either.

    “Amanda’s belly started to grow when she reached three months — and she got really excited about looking pregnant.

    “Then a few weeks later, when getting changed for bed, I realised I had a similar shape.

    “Now at 33 weeks I’m two stone heavier than I used to be and have a round, bloated belly. And anything Amanda’s body does pregnancy-wise, mine does too.”

    Amanda, 25, said Mike makes a very wimpy mum-to-be.

    She added: “Mike is being a bit of a girl over it all. As a woman I’m coping much better than him. I actually end up looking after him more than he takes care of me sometimes.

    “And people pay more attention to his bump than mine. A pregnant man is more interesting.”

    Mike, who has been with Amanda for three years, admitted he does have a tendency to moan. He added: “I’ve never felt so rough.

    “I’ve always taken pride in my body, going to the gym four days a week, keeping slim at 6ft and 14st.

    “So the water retention around my belly is a big shock.

    “With the cravings, heartburn, headaches and constant exhaustion, I now really respect what women go through during pregnancy.

    “I’ve had to take extra breaks at work, have early nights and buy larger-sized clothes because I’m two stone heavier. It’s crazy.

    “Thank heavens Amanda will be the only one giving birth.”

    Such extreme forms of Couvade syndrome are rare — and the precise causes unknown.

    Some experts claim it is caused by psychological factors while others say it is down to high levels of female hormone in the body of the father-to-be.

    Sufferers have complained of weight gain, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramps, loss of appetite, cravings, headaches, toothache, nosebleeds and itchy skin.

    In almost all cases the symptoms disappear after the mum gives birth.

    The GP told Mike that Couvade syndrome typically affects men who are very close to their partners.

    Mike, from Manchester, said: “Hearing this made sense to me. My body wanted to know what Amanda is experiencing.

    “And while I do moan, I also find it amazing to be having these symptoms and experiencing them with the woman I love.”

    Shop owner Amanda said she sees the phantom pregnancy as a compliment — even though she was not amused at first.

    She added: “At eight weeks I’d wake up early and he’d complain he was feeling sick. I thought he was mocking me. Now our friends mock him about his phantom pregnancy. But others say it’s because he loves me so much.”

    Amanda also enjoys having someone to share her food cravings — especially when it is chocolate.

    She said: “When I tuck into selection boxes late at night, I don’t feel bad as Mike is sat right next to me tucking in too.

    “Mike sometimes says he fancies a certain sandwich or a certain ice-cream and I’ll be craving the exact same thing.

    “We have been through phases where we both only want plain foods and then spicy foods.

    “It’s really strange but we’re used to it now.”

    But Amanda admitted she does sometimes wish she was the only one with pregnancy symptoms. She said: “When I’m rubbing his shoulders or lower back to help relieve his cramps, I feel like I’m looking after him when I’m the one carrying the baby.

    “But he does return the favour and there are times when we’re both lying in bed totally shattered moaning about the same symptoms, which is quite comforting.

    “We even find ourselves comparing baby bumps in the morning to see whose is bigger. I always win.”

    Their baby boy is due on October 23 — and both Amanda and Mike are now busy getting the nursery ready. Mike said: “At the moment I’m just letting these symptoms play out and trying to concentrate on preparing for the arrival of our first child.

    “After going through the motions with Amanda I feel like I’ll definitely be able to give any man or woman advice on pregnancy.

    “And it will be a good story to tell our son when he’s older.”

    Meanwhile Amanda is eager to see just how far Mike’s phantom pregnancy will go.

    She said: “Our research suggests there is a chance he will experience contraction pains.

    “I’d love to see that because I don’t think there’s a man in the world who truly understands how painful labour is.”

    Front page news, really!?!?!

    Why would you go to the papers about this? I mean come on, ofter this there is no way he could ever go down the pub with the lads!!!

  6. On Sam Rockwell, Bri. Have you seen The Assassination of Jesse James? I believe Brad Pitt is the lead role.

    And on Brad Pitt, have you seen Kalifornia? I dont think Brad Pitt gets as much acclaim as he deserves for his acting.

  7. I will say however he can be quite temperamental and is prone to losing his head now and then as can be seen below

    Shows his commitment to the cause though I guess.

    Wait; he went to smash the shit out of that word removed McShane? I think I have a new favourite player.

    Nice to see a bit of fire in his belly! Shows passion an desire.

    McShane definately throws a sly shot at him towards the end, im sure if concrete Ron would have been on the pitch, he'd have knocked McShane in like a tent peg!

  8. Not a fan of Di Canio's car crash man management style, but he's in the right on this one. If the keeper's having a stinker, who says you can't sub him after 20 minutes? In fact, keeper's such a critical position you can make a case for it being the only position you should really sub so early.

    Fair enough he's a young player, but the reaction upon being taken off was a disgrace. It's just like the De Canio says, you can't act like you're untouchable just because you have a different coloured shirt and you're allowed to handball. Get off the pitch, sit down, I think I need to lie down and drink a camomile tea, play better next time. Stupid little prima donna.

    100% agree.
