One ancestor of mine was in the SAS during WWII, but was executed for looting while in France.
My mother's side, my great grandfather was a bare knuckle boxer and a member of the IRA.
My uncle wrote a book of horror stories when he was 15 and tried to get it published. But they refused him because they were too gory for a teenager to be writing. Another uncle wrote a few episodes of Shameless when he was the script editor.

You and I are alot alike.You should definitely stab him with a pen. Shame you're not Irish, when people take the piss out of my Irish heritage I threaten to get the pikeys round to tear up their front drive way.
There is someone in my school who tries to fight everyone, but no one ever actually fought him. He went to the gym and all and I think people were frightened of him. One day he started trying to start a fight with me. I just stood up and headbutted him. He has stopped trying to start fights with everyone now.

The beginning was quite boring, but apart from that it was a great game. I absolutly loved it. On my first playthrough, I had a stealth character and a combat character on my second. For me they played out like they were two different games. I recommend this game to anyone who hasn't played it yet.

It was... okay. I liked the storyline, but everything else just seemed so underdeveloped. I quite like stealth games,but I think it should have spent longer in development. To me, it just felt like they were trying to start a new franchise instead of making a good game, with interesting visuals and gameplay that isn't repetitive as hell.

I've just started reading through the Discworld novels myself. I'm about halfway through The Colour of Magic.At the moment I'm chewing through the Discworld novels by Terry Pratchett, and the Bakuman graphic novels by Tsugumi Ohba and illustrated by Takeshi Obata (the ones responsible for Death Note).

The only shows that I watch regularly now are The Walking Dead and Sherlock.
They're pretty much the only ones I've got time for because I have my mock Junior Cert in two weeks.

I live in a remote location and have access to a clean water well. I have transport, I'm surrounded by farmland, mostly cattle farms. I own a katana and a crossbow. I also have a copy of The Zombie Survival Guide by Max Brooks, so I'm sorted.
