I'm from England (London, to be specific). I complained and complained about the weather, and then we moved here, to Pakistan. Mister Kevinp, I would like to inform you that we have you well thrashed for weather: today was 37 degrees (centigrade) and 80% humidity. What I wouldn't give for some rain!

Ooh, this takes me back. My first (well, my parent's then) was a 14.4k. Not as early on as some, but a heck of a long time ago. Then we got a state-of-the-art 28.8k, and I remember being really, really excited about it being a fax modem, and I used to send faxes from the PC to the fax machine on the other line whenever I got bored. Oh lay off, I must have been ten! Then I got a 33.6k, and had it about a week before the first 56k's came out. I remember wanting one so bad it hurt, and the whole K56FLEX vs X2 debate seemed terribly interesting :o I eventually got a V.90 voice modem ( B) )and it's still used as an answering machine. Heck, it was used for data too until last year and my 512/256 ADSL... and then I actually had to go backwards to 128/128 :mad:

I think the time I somehow 'lost' a hard drive containing 250GB of all my music, recorded and downloaded TV and movies, and more importantly, all my photos and home movies would qualify. I don't know what happened, I booted up, left the room, came back a minute later to find XP in the middle of a thorough pre-startup disk error check. When Windows finally loaded, I looked through the D: drive to find -nothing-. I panicked. Tried everything - norton protected crap bin, data recovery programmes, everything. Never recovered a damn thing. Then I went for a drive and threw the drive out of the window (no pun intended). Lesson learned, all my media is now backed up to DVD, and all my essential files on all my computers are now backed up to the server, which is ghosted weekly. Paranoid, yes, but once bitten and all that.

Personally, I think that, provided space is not 'regulated' strictly by governments in, say, the way the nuclear research is, given a few years, corporations will be all over it. I don't think it'll be too long until we see privately owned enterprises building and operating orbital craft and habitats, and, following close behind that, missions to the moon. After that, it's only a matter of time until missions to other planets take place, and, although it may take quite a while after this, inevitably, habitats will be built. I think that, at that point, we'll be safe enough with regards to not having all our eggs in one basket until the sun dies out. I also think that by that time, we ought to have sorted out many of our own problems, so that a hypothetical advanced alien race might not shudder in disgust at us and turn away upon seeing the solar system. That said, if the aliens are hostile, we probably won't stand a chance - they find us, remember! As far as interstellar travel is concerned, we don't even know whether that's possible yet, so I'm not going to speculate on that.

Did you google for a translation of the welsh, that's what i did, can we get away with swearing if it is in a different language? Yes, and I doubt it.

In answer to thought 1 i just thought i would clarify, other people might not know that cymru is welsh for wales. In answer to thought 2 i can't be the only girlie around here, am i? and put that tongue back in your mouth! ;) Just so you know, you kept me awake at night wondering which "Wales" was in Australia. When I realised I was missing the "New", I'd have slapped myself if I wasn't so damn tired.

No, I'm 'random', dammit!

Hmm, school. I'll bite. My AS-level mocks are coming up. Hating every bit. Actually, it wouldn't be that bad were it not for the waking up in the morning. That's what really gets me. Anyone else?

I'm living in Karachi, Pakistan, but I'm from London (the real one, in the UK :p )
