this year has literally flown its now october my sisters baby is due soon and to be honest my second favourite holiday is coming up thats right Bonfire night!! it use to be halloween but of corse it gets quie annoying when litle freaks throgh eggs at your doors ad windows so im going to egg anyone who eggs my house only the eggs will be out of date!! mwahahaha ayway for those who don know what bonfire night is, is a british tradition to celebrate guy fawkes's death i know horrible but its a tradition we start a massive fire and watch it burn basically i love i for the fact you can be out at night!! over here in britain the crime is soo bad you can go out and socialize without been robbed or molested, so facebook is all ive got so i love it, you can go out and socialize and i get a wonderful glow when im out at nigh im also more confident and happier, anyway this year is starting to come to a close all thats left is halloween which i HATE!( use to love) and then Christmas which is nice because of family reunions but also sad because you remember the people who you've lost and could be sat right next to you so anyway 2011 is no change, the years for me are coming faster and faster i need to develop some self confidence aswell i don have the courage to mee new people which is very annoying

Oh, I heard about Guy Fawkes day, are you gonna stick a hot barrel of flaming tar on your shoulders and run up and down your street?

A little out of date, they should be old & stinky.

Bonfire night, cool!, sounds like fun to me, we have guy fawkes here, but it usually involves lots of fireworks..

The years do seem to be flying these days...

With any luck you'll have more confidence soon, it's very important, you just gotta work at it, it gets easier..

Personal life-wise, this year has been both the best and the worst in my life, but at this time it looks like I'll wrap it up in a good spirit.

Gaming-wise, this year has been a vast disappointment except for a few notable exceptions such as Serious Sam HD: Second Encounter. 2011 is already smelling better than a pizza fresh out of the oven. I kind of wish I didn't promise myself to never buy a game at full retail price ever again. Bulletstorm, DX3, Crysis 2, Serious Sam 3 (?), Dead Space 2...

Uh... no it's not.

Seriously, you shouldn't listen to the media about this sort of stuff. I go out at night all the time without being robbed or molested...

P.S Bonfire night is great. Aren't the Bonfires themselves "descendents" of funeral pyres? (Bone-fires --> Bon-fires)

Yeah, thats where the word comes from....

I'm sure the crime is at most a nuisance there in england, you should try SA, seriously whatever you hear on the news there, it's much worse here I assure you, and we're still alive, I'm sure you'll be fine....

The impression the BBC news give me is that London is quite a violent city, but given the scales we are talking about I'm sure it is minimal compared to many countries, like Mexico (now that is a place I stay away from). You can never feel truly safe though, there is always the possibility that you will be the "chosen one" for these violent airheads.

They only do that in a village near my Uni called Ottery St. Mary. I was there last year and hopefully will be there this year too. Pity my camera ran out of power while I was there or I'd show you some vids.

Mostly what happens elsewhere is people go and set off fireworks and then stand stupidly close to bonfires. I suppose its out equivalent of 4th July in regards to firepower.
