    I hate that 'oh shít' moment when something electric decides to blow up on you.

    Or for those of us in the country, that "oh shít moment" where you get floored by a mains fence.

    I'm glad you're okay but I have to say the image of you sitting there poking the smouldering remains of your hairdryer is one of the funniest things I've heard.

    Dont mock me :p I was terrified to move in case it exploded again!

    That happened to me in a hotel in Manchester once. Hairdryer blew up, lights and power went in room, I'm starkers, in a pitch dark room, rooting in my suitcase trying to find something to wear before the hotel staff come up... >.<

    I just got the fright of my life. I was sitting on my bed drying my hair, as you do, and the bloody hairdryer just exploded!!! Like actually went BOOM, then went on fire. A bit of hairdryer flew off and burned my arm. I nearly shat myself. I was too afraid to move so I just sat there poking it with a hairbrush.....

    That does sound terrifying but I wont lie like Orim I pissed myself laughing reading that especially the end bit :pac:.

    Glad your okay though :).

    What's even worse is, my own mother made a comment similar....

    I came in and told her I had carpet burns and she said 'I thought you were in bootcamp, not out with whoever it is you're seeing.' :o:o :mad: :pac:

    The hair brush would have protected me if it re-exploded :o

    The worst part is that now I can't dry my hair properly so i'm gonna have a head like a mad mans arse tomorrow :(

    I didn't cry at Marley and Me, but that's mainly cause I was really pissed about it basically being ruined for me.

    It's a movie about a dog, if you say you don't want to spoil it but say it has a sad ending, what the hell else is going to happen besides the obvious??

    My vote is skip the rest of the movies, and play some of the games.

    First thing I thought of when I read that was how much I'd love to still have a Snes with Mario World, Mario Kart and Donkey Kong :).

    Only game I lay these days is the Xbox once every few years when a new GTA comes out I buy that then buy a few more games for a few months.

    GTA is the whole reason I got an Xbox bought it drunk one day to play GTA that was one drunken expensive hit on the credit card.

    While I'm a loyal 151 pokemon fan, I think Heart Gold/Soul Silver on the DS got things spot on.

    (I was blown away back in the day when I played Gold, and was able to go back to the region from the first game after finishing it!)

    [edit]

    Nah Marty the games are great. I'm not a RPG fan, but they're fun and accessible, with enough depth if you get into it all.

    I genuinely think I have a SNES up in the attic. I know there's a NES anyway. I loooooooooooooved Donkey Kong. I loved Mario World too, but Donkey Kong was amazing. :D

    Fcuk, I wanna go root out all my old games consoles, I have tonnes of them in my attic, all working. :)

    Nah, everyone I know started on the cartoons, then got hooked on the games. I'll have a look and see if I can find it tonight, I know I have one somewhere. :)
