No one seemed to like my long one :( I thought it was hilarious

I like changing my name and my avatar. Maybe i do it too much though

You and Bint fooled me several times when I was first here, with your new names and avatars.  :laugh:

What are your thoughts on the sale of Liverpool FC to the John Henry group? I know you're. Man U fan, but these guys have done a great job restoring a winning attitude while mantaining the traditions of my beloved Red Sox, including saving the greatest baseball park in the world, Fenway Park, my house of worship! What is the sentiment over across the pond?

Suicide would waste me
Homicide would break me
Tongue tied and tied to the tongue
Tongue tied and tied to the tongue
Oh, is life as bad as dreams
I guess that's just the way it seems

I hate Liverpool so I just hope they carry on doing shit :P

They seem to be picking up now though, after a REALLY shit start to the saeson. So maybe it's a good thing for them. I think the fans will be happy regardless as long as the results are good

How did your scan go? Did you get any results? You may have said something elsewhere but I can't find anything.

turns out my scan is not for another 6-8 weeks... 6-8 weleks! IO just had to see the neurologist today. I have an MRI scan in 6-8 weeks then ECG 4 weeks after that. He referred me to an epilepsy clinic though and said I can start some treatment for it after the scan

Apparently the clomipromine (OCD meds I was on but have since stopped) can "lower the threshold" for seizures, so if you are epileptic you are more likely to have them while on those meds, but they don't actually cause epilepsy itself. Something like that.

How did your exam go btw?

I hope he reassured you that you may never have another seizure in your life. Lots of people have one or two seizures and then never have another one. Weird how the brain works (or doesn't).

I have had an MRI and an EEG before. EEGs mess your hair up because they put this gel stuff on your scalp to stick the electrodes on. You will probably want a shower straight afterwards, I remember I did. They get you to look at flashing lights and stuff too.

6-8 weeks is a long time to wait.

My exam went ok, it seemed really long, two and a half hours. I had no annoying people sit near me this time. There was multiple choice (which for me turned into multiple guess) and two essays I had to write. I finished the essays which was good.

What is your cup size?

Are your areola large or small?

Are your areola pink or dark?

How do you shave your muff? (clean shaven, landing strip, triangle, heart, etc)

Fine, thanks. My neck kinda ached a bit during the scan. I wish I'd asked how long it would take before I went in, so I wouldn't have been wondering while I was in there.

When I had my first CAT scan I was glad I didn't know how long it was going to take.  I found out I was claustrophobic when I opened my eyes in there.  I kept my eyes shut after that and continually lied to myself that it had only been 2 seconds, 4 seconds, etc. since the last time I asked myself the question, "How long have I been in here?"

In my experience, the MRI took longer than the CT scan. I had the MRI done on my knee. I have had two CTs on my brain.

How was the EEG? Did they put gel in your hair? I have had one of those and my hair was a mess afterwards.

OK, since you've claimed to be an amateur expert on Operation Barbarossa, can you answer me this:

Durring the invasion of France, Germany had very few medium tanks that were of German design and manufacture. The majority of them were actually Czech 35(t) and 38(t)'s.

By the time of Barbarossa, how many foriegn tanks was the German Army still using??

Dude I dunno random figures like that off the top of my head :laugh:

I'm guessing you don't genuinely not know the answer to this?

We don't really memorise facts like that for our course., Obviously for exams yeah, but for my dissertation it mostly involves reading shitloads on it and working out WHAT happened, how, why etc, not learning a load of facts like how many German tanks were being used

Well, I found the answer on Wiki, it's 1/4 of the tanks Germany started Barbarossa with were Czech. 1/2 of the German tanks in France were Czech made.

It just goes to show, that without the bloodless invasion of Czechoslovakia, WWII would've been impossible for Germany.
