    I can actually do that, got board in business studies one day years ago and taught it to myself in letters and then phonetically too. Learned "How much is that doggy in the window" backwards too for some reason. I taught myself the alphabet in sign language a while ago too while I was bored and had nothing to do for a day.

    Man, I really need a hobby or something :D

    Hardly cool, but would be useful if I were ever to be pulled over by the cops for drink driving (although probably not much use with the fact that I don't have a drivers licence)

    Ah don't get me started on that fecking dinosaur, I was subjected to years of that crap babysitting my kid sister, I can still remember the damned songs after all these years

    EDIT: I have if all the raindrops were lemondrops and gumdrops stuck in my head now, I'm blaming you novella, I'll get you for this! :(

    If all the raindrops were lemon drops and gum drops,
    Oh, what a rain that would be!
    Standing outside with my mouth open wide,
    Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!

    What a great song! :)

    I start counting the number of letters in individual words that come to my head.
    1 5 8 3 6 2 7 2 10 5 4 4 2 2 4 for example.
    For example is 3 7.

    3 3 3 3 3 3

    I usually take a large shíte in the most comfortable cludgie I can find.

    If I am pissed off big time with the delay I may indulge in a bit of top decking but airports tend not to have cisterns so it's the Bonjella necklace.

    Nice ripe solid turd on the rim and close down the seat on her.

    Once in the Gold Circle lounge in Heathrow I packed a waste bucket in the cube and shook a bag of planters dry roasted on it.

    Looked Ace!

    I hate flight delays, makes me verrrrry irate.

    When I am traveling (and I do A LOT) I always bring a number of things with me.

    1. A Sony E-Book reader (Has 900+ books on it)
    2. A small (linux based) Acer notebook.
    3. PSP loaded with music, audio books, films and games.

    I've been stuck in too many airports, strange places and work areas, not to have learned a few lessons on how to deal with boredom.
    You must be like a mugger's dream or something. :pac:

    Where do you buy the ebooks from though?

    Ususally when I'm on my own at home, I imagine what would happen if a person burst through the front/back door. What would I use as a weapon? How would I react?. . .

    Same if I'm in public places. What would I do if there was a holdup? Where could I escape? Can I move stealthly through the shop undetected?

    Sticking with stealth movements. When I'm walking around I wonder if the person in front of me can feel my presence. Do they know I'm there?

    You know, normal stuff. . .

    I read lots, might doodle a bit on the guitar or knock up a tune on my laptop. Although i really should excercise more these days.
