All of my friends who are in relationships seem to be either constantly fighting with their partner, constantly breaking up and getting together again, getting pregnant or, in rare cases, rushing into marriages that I hope will last but probably won't. Or, in the case of one unfortunate lad...

Downloadable games you could play for a limited amount of time - in the same vein as downloadable audiobooks - would be great... if you (and the library!) had the bandwidth for it.

That's a terrible idea. If Libraries only carried books that were classics, not only would they hardly ever get read, but there'd be a terrible scandal over what was deemed 'classics' and what wasn't. (Who wants to read Catcher in the Rye anyway?) Not sure where you live, but your country's...

Ok, I can see your point, but the idea that this will somehow make it more 'worthwhile' for the library doesn't make sense to me. Do you really think that a copy of a book will stay in the library for 20 years? It will get replaced and a newer edition will be re-bought, so it's no different...

EDIT: Whoopsie daisies, I must have clicked a button somewhere. Can I delete this?

The library I work for has shitloads of console games. Not at my branch though, you have to order them in. I don't claim to speak for everyone here, but there are relatively few books I've picked up where I would want to read them again. Same with movies I've watched. Many people I know who...

I had a social studies teacher when I moved over to NZ from England, who swore Fish and Chips with 'real' chips were invented by NZ, which is why they're considered a 'kiwi icon'. (Which is a crock of shite, btw, as everyone knows.) But OP's post reassures me that 'fush and chups' are but the...

Ugh, I know right? Sure, every nation has its pet sport, but when it gets to the point where it obscures EVERYTHING else you know it's time to be worried. I work for a library and we're supposed to be promoting the world cup, comic book month, a heritage festival and some poetry thing. Guess...

They've changed the curriculum for primary schools (dunno about high schools) over here in New Zealand to tie in with the Rugby World cup. They've also changed the timing of the holidays to fit in with the finals. Well done, board of Education, now even kids who hate the sport get it shoved down...

Most of my dreams are either nice or reoccurring themes of camping or getting lost in a strange house, but I once dreamed there was a blue dead girl on my bedroom floor, and when I went over and poked her in the forehead it squished inwards as if she were a water balloon. This other time I...

You sound a bit like my brother, he's a great guy but for some reason he thought he needed a woman in his life. Luckily Mum knocked some sense into him, before he could rush into marrying some crazy woman he met online. But hey, now he has a lovely wife and kids, so don't give up quite yet...

I agree, and there's so much more that can go wrong IN a relationship than out of one. Some of my old friends from high school have started contacting me again, and half of them are pregnant and/or have a baby. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad they're happy, and I'm sure they'll be great mums...

I just watched 'Contact' like two days ago, based off the novel Sagan wrote. Very good acting, but don't expect too much 'action'. It focusses more on 'this is the greatest discovery of all time!' than 'ALIENS ALL UP IN THIS *****'... which is a nice change.

No way, I had exactly the same problem as you OP! And it started yesterday, pretty much the same time for me too... weird.
