    Well I just wanted to use the puzzled face look!:confused:
    I'm not sure. I can't find a video to check. My memory says it was, whether that is right is another story.

    Yeah, I somewhat have the same problem as Jack. Sometimes though I just feel like I've nothing in common with most people so (for example) the extent of my conversations with people in my form class is "So . . . how was your weekend?". I wouldn't say I'm only friends with "smart" people though. One of my best friends will probably fail a couple of her exams, as will another, but he'll also get the equivalent of an A1 in History and Business. Another will get all A's, is currently student of the year, is on student council, is a prefect etc etc. Yeah, it varies.

    I just tend to hang out with a group of about 6 others who are all smart. There are 5 guys and 2 girls so you do the maths! :P I can talk to other people for a while like, it isn't that I won't talk to them because they aren't smart, it is just that conversations aren't very sustainable and subjects that we both have interests in are few and far between.
    On a similar note

    2 of my better friends (who I've known most of my life) will fail exams but my best friends (the above mentioned group) will get mostly A's and B's with the odd C. None of them will get below an honours in any subject.

    Ah I see you're not giving any information away.:p

    I agree with the whole "socially awkward thing" too. With my friends I could just keep talking and talking but stick me into a group of strange people and I won''t say a word. It's strange how the internet is a whole different thing isn't it?

    There were only three times in the past four years where I felt truly happy in life. All of them were in the last twelve months. All of them came to sudden ends and left me more unhappy than I was at the start. The last one, April 2010? Still getting over that.

    It can be true. Trying to be intelligent or simply being intelligent has ruined specific moments in my life.

    But as I said, it's a bit too public here to tell my stories, so...

    I am glad you see that. I can not believe how foolish some people can be when it comes online security. Especially with Facebook. People do not realize what they are doing online. Posting something on the internet is like having it printed in the paper (as seen recently).

    Now rant over and my post is very much off topic.

    I thought it was an eye incident at first also. Because he brought his hand to eoin cadogan's eye, attempted to hit or whatever at it and then stuck his hands into his mouth. And from a non -biased view, eight weeks is deserved. With his track record he should really know better. :) slapping the book out of a referees hand and now a players face. What next! :D
    Oh and hey, i'm soccymonster (as said before :o).
