User talk:Ashnard/Archive2
Wow...[edit]
I guess you found someone else to harass you. Poor me, whatever shall I do? How's it goin'? That's about all the time I have. See-you later... Peregrine 17:07, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
I thought you had gone away, what happened? Nevermind, you don't need to explain anything to me. I'm not even sure if the admins will allow us to talk like this anymore. Ashnard talk 17:42, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
Sorry[edit]
I'm sorry for the way I treated you. We both know that it in jest, but it was still mean, and I cannot apologize enough. Bucky 22:35, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
Yes well enough of the touchy-feely stuff, back to the insults. Ashnard if you're going to insult me at least do it properly. You were about to call me a "Chester-something" but that pacifist Thecolourrose removed your jibe. Might I just point out that the term Chester cannot be employed as an adjective. Cestrian, referring to a person from Chester can but Chester itself cannot. Maybe you'd know that if you weren't so busy passing notes to Bucky during English you Middlesbrough fool.
Come on Anon, my grammar is near flawless. I only used Chester because it rhymes with molester, "Chester-molester" (no insult intended), you are the Chester-molester, see how I hyphenated that so it's one word, one noun.
Err...[edit]
I tried editing the old message but it kept editing the one below it instead. Anyway: I didn't leave, you fool. Hah, you just stopped talking and I didn't really have a lot of time... then I saw the amusing bickering on your page one day and realized that you were getting bitchy without me around. ;) (Just kidding) Anyway, if they complain... I'll stop, unless you want me to anyway. How's school going? Well, night night... Peregrine 22:55, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
- I stopped talking? If you look on the archive, I left the last message (the one about the crazy ANC judge), and then I thought you were going all funny by blanking your user and talk page. School's going well, I'm getting decent grades; one of my GCSEs came back for maths — I got full marks (A*), it was only out of 30, but I was proud nevertheless. See, I'm not a total wikitard. Ashnard talk 06:30, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
Sorry...[edit]
Your page is all f***ed up. Haha, these Brit wars are funny... someone insult me for no appearant reason, I'll show you how ignorant Americans really can be. Hehe, I'm just kidding. Way to go, kiddo... ya did good. Pissing people off just like I taught ya... Peregrine 23:01, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
Okay, wow... now this is the only part of the page it will let me edit. It is starting to get to me as well. Yes, too bad you can't act like Shinon... it would've made me feel, mmm... that much closer to you. I guess I never asked if you could elect to take archery at your school. There is an archery practice range/supply store a bit a ways from me. Most of my neighbors have crossbows, which are cool, but if I wanted to actually buy a bow it would probably be something a bit more..."classic". I actually like guns, particularly revolvers and handguns, although I only own a .22 caliber rifle. Shooting guns is easy, archery takes a lot of strength... which it weird because all video game archers look like (and stat-wise are) weaklings. Yeah, I just have some horrible sinus things going on right now, and my eyes sting. Well, night night Ashnard, and not Tom. Peregrine 04:27, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
I can't get banned again.[edit]
I welcome you both, but we can't insult each other — even in jest, I'm not even sure if we're allowed to talk to each other, but I'll have to risk my Wikilife on this one. Ashnard talk 06:27, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
Hm, your page is still giving me problems. I promise I'll be good, I TOTALLY hate starting needless fights with people. Ahh... who needs that anyway? By the way: Way to go! That's excellent, you're not a wikitard at all... (If we ignore the fact that you said "Wikitard".) You're so smart little Ashnard. Grow up, become evil, and MAKE ME PROUD! Ashnard, do you have any allergies? I have picked up a cold and I have had it for 10 days now, my allergies are also killing me... It didn't seem this bad in the years before. My head... is pounding! Just a useless question. Later, gator... (haha, that is awesome... I called you an alligator because it rhymes with later, I ROCK.) Peregrine 14:51, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
This page is acting so weird, it's starting to annoy me. Allergies? I've got hay-fever which is so irritating. Once, I was on a school residential trip for a week, we were doing quite bland but satisfying activities like hiking, and then I got major hay-fever and had to rest — little did I know that I missed out on archery whilst I was sleeping! I could have been just like Shinon, if only... Ashnard talk 17:37, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
Not to worry. I'm sure the Gods of Wikipedia wouldn't mind us trading light insults just so long as it doesn't veer into realms of the vulgar. I think Chester molestor's pushing it a bit dontcha think Ashnard you weakling. Hah, alllergies indeed. Puny mortals, mighty Tom ... uh Anon sorry is allergic to nothing. Oh by the way, who's Shinon?
Anon - (not Tom)
Vulgar word but still a nice ryhme, don't you think? In that rambling note, were you saying that your name isn't Tom and you're not allergic to anything? Oh Anon, Shinon — that is who Shinon is. Ashnard talk 06:21, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
Oh, it's nice to have the old Ashnard back. Uh, yeah, basically.
Ashnard, darling. Are you still there?
I resent the "darling" part — I much prefer it when you hold me in disdain. Ashnard talk 16:42, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
Not Tom, stay away from my "favourite" British loverboy. (Ooh, I am so bad.) So what's been going on? Err, it's my duty to call you both twerps and ladeda... it's been fun. Later, you insignificant pests. Peregrine 13:49, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
I've been crying (not really, I'm a REALman) over the loss of the Ashnard page lately, it was deemed irrelevant and merged with PoR: characters page, the actual script has been pasted on a gaming wiki. I feel like a bit of a loser/degenerate/scum bag as I can't even make a decent job of my username sake. So...what's been happening with you? By the way, I think we should now call Anon "Not Tom" from now on. Ashnard talk 16:20, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
Turn that frown upside down you crazy little leader. We all know the glory of GREAT KING ASHNARD and all his might, it's be alright. Heh heh... I am bored, I have a day off of work. I still haven't beat Valkyrie Profile because I realized I wouldn't get an A rating and went back to practically the beginning of the game. (DAMN OCD!) Ah well, I saw a lot of cutscenes that I missed the first time thru and hopefully get a neat ending... it's really tedious gameplay to have to go back thru though so... I don't know if I'll ever beat it. Sucks too, because I ordered Valkyrie Profile 2 and have had it for a while now... my OCD won't let me play THAT until I beat the first one, so... woooo... yeah, I'm definetly crazy. Err... Well... Peregrine 18:16, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
It's funny, my OCD only seems to kick in when I'm playing games, like when I went on that YI:DS rampage to get a perfect score. Sometimes I just don't fell worthy unless I get decent score on a game or got a 100% — I will never not complete a game that I've started. Like you, my OCD limits to playing games in the right order, and I only ever play one game at a time. Don't let boring games get you down, some games are replayable, some aren't. I ccould play FE over and over again but Golden Sun is so tedious after the first time. It looks like I better get over my low self wiki-esteem and get back to ruling the world. Ashnard talk 18:38, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
No, no, no, you may not call me "Not Tom." Bow before Anon, you puscillanimous insects. And not to worry Ashnard, I always hold you in disdain, I call everyone darling, except my little brother, I just call him "boy." In your case I was using the word darling in sarcasm. Oh by the way, can I call you Ashy? I haven't a clue what you're all on about actually as I don't play computer games, I'm far too busy writing (and editing of course). Oh well, as Ashnard says, better get back to ruling the world, except in my case I'll be doing a competent job of it (ooh, I am so bad).
Anon - (not Not-Tom)
The fact that you misspelled "competent" shows that you are actually incompetent. Not Tom, you may not call me "Ashy" as I am the omnipotent ruler of the world and thus must be treated with due respect. You write? Tell me more Not Tom, you have actually conjured interest in this young fool. Ashnard talk 21:07, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
Splendid. Gather round young fools and indulge in the tales of Anon. Yes I write epic fiction for a hobby. I mainly write fantasy and sci-fi although I did write a detective story once. I actually wrote a religious fantasy once that I consider my best work, all about Angels and Demons and stuff. At the moment I'm writing a sort of fantasy horror rather like Lord of the Rings but sexier. Once I've finished this one I'm planning on beginning work on a spy-thriller about eco-terrorists who hijack a nuclear bomb and threaten to drop it into the heart of New York unless America sign the Kyoto Agreement and it will be up to a James Bond style spy to stop them. But enough about me, much as I enjoy talking about myself, let's here about you. So, Ashy, if you are the omnipotent ruler of the world why have I not heard of you? And please tell me you're not Tony Blair as that would make your paramour, Bucky, George Bush.
(Just finished looking-up paramour) It's because I'm God. Ashnard talk 06:23, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
I am too tired to comment on any of this right now. You two have fun... oh and "Not Tom", I have my eyes on you "boy". Later "Ashy". Peregrine 14:54, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
"Paramour" is a very gay word by the way. Peregrine 14:58, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
No Peregine, it's a posh word, you are the only gay on Wikipedia oh and Ashy, I don't think God would take the name of an evil king as His username whilst on Wikipedia. Nor would He get banned for obscenity. I think you're probably the other fella. In which case, hello, big fan of your work. Oh by the way Peregrine I'm going to call you Perry from now on.
Anon - (not Not-Tom)
Not the God as in Christian God, God as in the omnipotent ruler of the world. I hope you're not a Christian, because, if you are, I've just treaded on your foot. Ashnard talk 17:34, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
Oh gee. How original! Perry! Hmm, sorry to inform you but "Ashy" can tell you himself that he has already come up with that one. You two are ever more desperately meant for eachother than I had thought. Sad, I was so hopeful for a moment, for I thought I was the only gay on wikipedia. So sad, too bad... by the way "posh" is a gay word too. Peregrine 20:15, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
Perry, I refuse to engage in a battle of wits with an unarmed man. As for Ashy, I don't know about "treaded" but you have certainly trodden on my foot, my being a Christian, lol.
Okay, so now it's 1-1 in the grammar wars (your "competant" thing), but what does "my being a Christian" suppose to mean? As for "Perry", I tried that ages ago — you're treading on old ground new boy. ;)Ashnard talk 20:57, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
Basically it means that I am a Christian. As for Perry, I rather like the sound of it so I'm going to use it from now on, Ashy darling if it has been used before.
Ooh, sorry if I offended you. But... My name is Ashnard and I will have my vengeance. Ashnard talk 07:33, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
Damn it![edit]
I try my hardest to steer away from GoD spoilers (even avoiding the actual page), yet I see a MASSIVE spoiler on the List of characters in Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance page. A very interesting fact, but a huge spoiler nevertheless — I did not want this! Ashnard talk 07:37, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
Never mind, Ashy.
Cheers, Not Tom. Ashnard talk 18:18, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
Ashnard Talk 08:17, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
That's a shame. They should keep the spoilers out of the Path of Radiance page. That is reason enough to keep the two lists seperate. I have not seen it, nor do I want to but I am sorry. I only check the Goddess of Dawn page now and then to see if they have added the release date. Have a good one, Ashnard. 70.106.32.53 22:53, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
Oh my, for I am without wit. Not Tom, rest easy. I have no desire to have a "battle of wits" with you one way or the other. I know you have enough trouble keeping up with our dear "Ashy". Have a good night, my dear! (Besides, It would be a shame if we started bickering. Watching you two is SO much fun!)
New guy (or girl)! Wow, feel free to comment whenever you want, I see that you are a sympathiser to the spoiler cause, it's mainly just randomers adding random information on the PoR list page. By the way, I have we spoken before? Sorry, but I don't remember. You should ally yourself with me so we can have a stronger assault against Not Tom, think about it, we could be a great alliance. Poor old Peregrine, she's just Switzerland in the matter. Ashnard Talk 18:24, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
Whoever you are smart-ass with no name and no wit, some of us actually have lives you know so we cannot just sit in front of our computers 24 hours a day (you really should have seen that jibe coming lol). As for Ashy, I have about as much trouble keeping up with him as Paula Radcliffe on steroids has keeping up with a hungover Johnny Vegas and Perry can bugger off back to Switzerland for all I care.
Cute, Anon. Cute! I love what you did with my page! I don't have the time (nor do I care) to change it, so you can have fun with that all you'd like. Like you said, "Some of us have lives"! Oh but, surely you weren't referring to yourself, unless by having a life you mean constantly trying to validate yourself on Wikipedia by such means as vandalism, poorly thought out insults, and something slightly resembling humor. To each his own. I don't think it quite fair to the other "gays" that I am supposedly the only one... so, perhaps you should come up with something more unique. Have fun! Oh, Anon... I'd appreciate it if YOU were the one to bugger off and at that you can also fuck yourself! (Lords of Wikipedia, if you must block someone for that offense block me for I simply do not care.) Peregrine 19:56, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
Oh, and by the way... feel free to respond but I am done with all this back and forth bullshit. If you're going to act like a dipshit, don't talk and/or refer to me at all... didn't they teach you that in school? I don't feel like dealing with you, it was fun and harmless but ahhh... you're annoying as hell. Hi Ashnard!!! (Check out my page! You're oh-so-clever friend just pulled the funniest prank! It is divine! He is a genius!) Hehe, see-ya later. Peregrine 20:07, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
Now we are going in to blockable territory, I can't be involved in any of that. I've seen the page and... You have just invaded a neutral country (Peregrine) to dominate Wikipedia, I hereby declare war on Not Tom for the protection of Wikipedia, the central Anons shall not prevail. Ashnard Talk 06:35, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
Yeah, I don't know why the idiot decided to do that. At first I thought he was pretty funny. It's a disappointment, people act as though they are intelligent and then go and do the stupidest things. It was fun at first but it turned into a friggin' headache. Sorry about all that, Ashnard. This shouldn't be taking place here. Anon, if you wish to have petty arguements and whatnot just post them on my talkpage. Not that I will respond. Peregrine 15:04, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
Ah, who am I kidding... he always gave me that "annoying, trying to hard to seem intelligent" vibe... so, hmm. Well, Ashnard... sorry again. I'm surprised I wasn't blocked for telling him to f*** himself, but telling me to bugger off doesn't sit well with me. Especially since we were having decent friendly conversations before he arrived. Peregrine 15:06, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
Sorry Peregrine, sorry. Bad joke, I meant no offence. Calm down Ashnard, there's no need to declare war on me, we're all friends here. Enough of the skirmish of wit, let's just have some as Peregrine says "decent conversation." Sorry about my use of the term bugger by the way. I shall remove my glib comment from your page Peregrine assuming it has not been removed already and Lords of Wikipedia, if you're going to block anyone block me.
Ah! I was writing something funny, and you interrupted me! There will be no war, as I don't see how that is possible anyway. Don't apologize, just seeing that you can let off relieves me. I thought there WAS no other side of Anon, even though this nice side sets in as a little awkward. I don't even care that you vandalized my page, it just kind of disappointed me because you had a more intelligent sense of humor. (If my page had anything on it that I worked oh-so-dearly to create it might be different) Honestly, I welcome your comments, you're a hilarious guy... I overreacted a bit because like I said, I don't like to be told to "bugger off". Peregrine 15:28, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
Ashnard, I think what you need to do is just make fun of Rolf for being gay, like in the old days. Forget about the GoD spoilers, I've seen my share and I can say I still feel like I have no clue what's going on in that game and that satisfies me. C'mon, like back in the day... I'll bully you around and call you "kid", or "boy" and then you can say that I am a pedophile who likes little green haired kids. Fun stuff. It's a beautiful day out here, I don't know about in England but... if it is, let's try to enjoy it, eh? Peregrine 15:32, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
...or "twerp", or "punk", or "pest", or "whelp"... if you prefer...? Peregrine 15:33, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
Damn! Those Metal Gear fanboys are sure going at it. I wonder why wikipedia hasn't blocked all the people saying "shut the fuck up" of the MGS4 talk page. Those people...are...nuts. I love Metal Gear, but...damn, I cannot see being so obsessed with something to be as friggin loony as they are... Ah, I do need Guns of the Patriots. What I don't need is to ever give over $599.99 dollars worth of money over to a video game console when I bought a laptop for a price similar to that... Such is life. Poor Ocelot. =( Peregrine 16:05, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
Perry are you talking to yourself?
So much to say so little time — seriously. Peregrine, chill with Anon, he means well eventhough it can be perceived in the wrong way. We're all happy friends, and yes, I declared war on you in jest (in case you didn't know). As for Metal Gear fanboys, they need to get a life and be more like Zelda fanboys, Zelda fanboys are cool. Paedophiles? Strangely a great subject, we had our greatest laughs discussing how gay Rolf is, it all sparked from Peregrine comparing Ashnard to Volgin. And, MGS4 may be amazing, but no game is worth shelling out that amount of money. To be honest, I think we are having less fun because me and Anon are trying too hard to impress each other, anyone agree? Ashnard Talk 22:12, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
I agree wholeheartedly! Yes, Anon...I was talking to myself, but I was talking to Ashnard as well. Sony needs to bite my ass... I would trade in my PS2 and whatnot to get credit towards it but it still would cost way too much and it is not backwards compatable so I could not play my old games. What's worse is Sony doesn't seem to feel like fixing the problem. Bleh, What a decietful little company they are. I also loathe Kojima for his exclusivity to Playstation. Oh well, such it life... har...har, did I ever tell you my General Manager's name is Tanya? Haha, so... that's fun. I have the next couple days off, so... yeah. I'm going to be enjoying the nice weather. You two have a nice day. Peregrine 16:01, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
Hah, did I ever tell you my friend's grandmother's name is Sybil..that's fun. (entered something as equally random as the Tanya thing.) I also dislike Sony, but I'm also not too keen on Microsoft, I only have enough money to invest in one game company and that is Nintendo. People may call me a Nintendo fanboy but I don't care, I honestly believe they've made some of the best games ever. Thanks, I will have a nice day, but not if Sony's got anything to do with it. Ashnard Talk 16:54, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
Well I'm not trying hard to impress you Ashy, I don't know if you are. Can't say I'd noticed. I was touched by you defending me however (third post up). Sybil, huh? My grandmother's name is Phyllis. Put that in your pipe and smoke it. She certainly does. Opium addict you know. I keep trying to get her to try crack but she won't have it, she's too old fashioned. No I'm only joking. Her name is Phyllis though. Like I say I don't play computer games so I don't know a thing about Sony. Surely they're not as bad as you say they are. Everyone says Margaret Thatcher was horrible but really she was a great PM. We were brainwashed into thinking she was horrible because the government's run by sexist pigs. Sorry I'm going into politics aren't I. Three things one should never mention in civilised conversation: money, religion and politics. Dammit! My three favourite subjects. Yes I shall have a nice day, we are having some lovely weather (at least in England).
Anon - (I really must get registered)
The thing about money, religion and politics is that they are all likely to trigger big arguments. Margaret Thatcher? Pfff, I'm not a big fan and my mother certainly isn't. I don't know, maybe its because I'm too protective over my school milk. By the way, I'd really like you to get registered. Ashnard Talk 18:29, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
Money, religion and politics do not trigger big arguments! How dare you. Really, how does one get registered?
Okay, I'm an atheist, I dislike Margaret Thatcher and money is said to be the root of all evil. Do you feel anymore argumentative you Christian Tory Fat-Cat? See what I mean? One gets registered where it says Log in/Register at the top of the page, you don't even need to provide anything except from a Username and password. Ashnard Talk 18:47, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
Hello, I've been staying at my dad's these past few days but now I'm staying with my mother and using the computer at her house. I registered while I was at my dad's but didn't like the user-name I picked. How does one change their user name? Oh and by the way, don't take the "How dare you" thing seriously Ashy, it was just a joke, I was proving your point by deliberately triggering a big argument about those three things.
Oh dear, it looks like I inadvertently showed my lack of sense of humour there. Anon, I'm not sure if you can change your username, I think one can either put up with the piece of crap one's got, contact an admin, or create a new account. Ashnard Talk 09:13, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
Quite alright. Thank you, I'll try and create a new account.
No problem ;) Ashnard Talk 09:23, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
Eragon/Eldest?[edit]
I've just finished reading Eldest, has anybody else read this? If so, will you tell me what you thought about it – or any other books for that matter, I'm not a big reader because I prefer playing games but I've read Lord of the Rings and 2/3 of His Dark Materials to name a few. Ashnard Talk 10:22, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
I haven't read Eldest but I've read a bit of Eragon although I keep putting it down and then forgetting where I was up to and having to start all over again. Personally I thought it was a very imaginative and well-thought out fantasy epic which critics tore apart just because they're impossible to please nowadays. The film didn't really do it justice though although it was quite entertaining.
I wasn't too impressed, it was decent, but compared to the likes of His Dark Materials and the The Bartimaeus Trilogy, it paled – although Eldest was better written than Eragon I think. I haven't seen the film, but it seems the main gripe the critics have is that it is too derivative of other books near to the point of plagiarism. Why write something so similar to LoTR when your work will seem insignificant in comparison to the literary colossus? Ashnard Talk 18:07, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
Well you can only do one thing so many times. Mr Paolini has chosen to do the fantasy adventure and he's done it just the way it should be done. Unlikely hero sets off to save a magical realm from an evil tyrant and falls in love with a beautiful woman along the way. And yes maybe it is just like Star Wars and Lord of the Rings but it captures the best parts of both of them and it's perfectly well written. Personally I always thought Lord of the Rings to be rather long-winded and dull. Mr Tolkien was certainly a genius and a man of great imagination but when it came to writing children's books he wasn't a patch on CS Lewis. Believe it or not JT actually wrote LOTR for his grandchildren. I imagine Lewis said to him "Tolkien old boy, why don't you put those brilliant ideas of yours to good use and write a children's book" and Tolkien said "Ok, but what should I base it on?" to which Lewis responded "Well you should always write about what your know about. I happen to know a great deal about fairytales so that's what I model mine on." Tolkien then thought "Hmm, I know; I shall base my fantasy adventure on Paradise Lost." lol! I happen to have a copy of Paradise Lost actually, I got it for Christmas. It's rather interesting from what I've read of it. I must read Eldest. I've never read His Dark Materials and being a Catholic (albeit one with fairly loose moral standards - I commit all the Seven Deadly Sins on a daily basis) I thought I had better not. I did read The Amulet of Samarkand though and thought it was quite good. It was released at the same time as Eragon wasn't it? And Inkheart. I seem to remember the literature business was booming at the time in the wake of that programme, The Big Read and of course the recently released LOTR film and Harry Potter was fairly prominent at the time as well. Anyway, speak to you soon, Ashy darling.
Tolkien's work is complex, but rightly so I think, it's amazing the world in which he has created; so expansive and detailed. He has the whole languages and history of the races and it all seems really authentic, yet Paolini's attempt at the races and languages just feels poor and half-hearted. You have a point though, I remember reading The Council of Elrond chapter and feeling that it was too extensive and convoluted. Paolini's work feels sufficient, but not impressive and refreshing like Jonathan Stroud or Phillip Pullman, but I think that is down to experience. I think "perfectly well written" is a bit strong, there was some big flaws in the story and it's very cliched. I've heard about the atheistic overtones in His Dark Materials, the whole criticism of religious authority thing. Pullman has actually criticised C.S. Lewis for some of the religious overtones in his book (him being an Atheist and Lewis being a Christian), did you know that Lewis and Tolkien were friends? Anyway, I'll stop baffling now, bye.Ashnard Talk 17:50, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
I don't think it's poorly written at all and it's very descriptive and good at creating a tone or mood and drawing the ready in. Yes I was aware that Lewis and Tolkien were friends, they were members of a club called the Inklings. Do you know they're actually doing a film of His Dark Materials next year. It looks good although of course it's being released under the American title because the Americans have to be contrary about everything and of course everyone rushes to please them because they're rich. Fat fools. Nicole Kidman should be good as Mrs Coulter though although I'd be impressed to see her outdo Tilda Swinton's White Witch in the film adaptation of Philip Pullman's least favourite book. You know I really can't decide who's sexier, Tilda or Nicole. I suppose Nicole seeing as she looks just like this girl I really like who goes to my school.
Teenage crushes, getting to know more about Anon – I love it! I'd say Kidman because I'm not sure who Swinton is and her Wiki pic didn't look too great. I hate it when Americans do that (no offense Peregrine), we have to compromise our spellings or names for them – I hate it when British news readers say soccer, or sulphur is spelt as "sulfur" in the new British textbooks, Why? What have you guys got against philosophers, why did you call it "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone"? Anon, let's not argue over Eragon, I'll just saying that it is certainly not a literary mastepiece. Ashnard Talk 17:38, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
Indeed, yes she's rather lovely to say the least. Do you know I couldn't agree more with you about those bloody Americans (no offence, Perry). And the Brits just pander to them despite the fact that were it not for the British Empire there would not be an America. We made them everything they are today. Adn the reason they have it in for philosophers is because most Americans don't even know what one is. An American's idea of philosopy is "Eating makes a person feel better when they're depressed by the fact that their country's run by an idiot." No matter, the Empire will come again (and no Peregrine, that's not a threat, it's a promise). Oh by the way, I'm registed now. Let's party! Celebrate good times, c'mon! Sorry, it was the first song that sprang to mind. And yes I think we should just agree to disagree on the subject of Eragon.
YourLord Talk 19:43, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
I agree, but maybe I won't take as a strong opinion as you on it, colonial talk can make Americans act weird. The strange thing I find is that it is a 300-year-old (about I think) country of immigrants. They talk about real Americans, but in the ethnic sense, the Native Americans are the indigenous people; so that's strange. Empire? Come on, we're probably going to be separated from Scotland, Wales and N. Ireland in some years as devolution and fat Scots are rearing their heads – not that losing Wales would be a terrible loss. Ashnard Talk 06:24, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
Ha, lol. I couldn't agree more. Still at least the Welsh don't stick you in a wicker man and set you on fire (*shudder*). Then again at least the Scots don't impose their language on us. When you go into Sainsbury's you don't have everything that's written in English on a sign written in Scottish beneath it. *ROADWORKS AHEAD*.
There are things that I dislike about the Scottish (they're all grumpy bastards), but I hate the Welsh 5 times as much. They're are so patriotic, but I think – why? What have they got to be patriotic for? Why have their own stupid, Y-loving language? Why feel a need to molest sheep? Why have an annoying accent? Sorry Welsh people, but these are serious irritations to me. Ashnard Talk 17:39, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
I know exactly how you feel. In the words of Anne Robinson "what are they for?" What is the point of them? They can't even spell right and they have an accent that would make a Canadian proud. And yet they act like they're a bloody buggery global superpower! The English however, when people think Britain they think England. We invented the scone, William Shakespeare was British, as was Tolkien, as is Rowling, as is Beckham, we have charming and varied accents and we're the dominant country of Britain. If my grandfather on my mother's side of the family heard all this he'd kill me, being Welsh but that said half the time he feels like killing me anyway. For some reason he's always telling me I remind him of Noel Coward. Who's Noel Coward anyway?YourLordTalk 22:43, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
I agree – except for the Beckham part – why not say Bobby Charlton, Bobby Moore or even Wayne Rooney. I like the signature, it is very similar to mine and makes us look like we have a cool Wiki-partnership. When our signatures are juxtaposed, it looks like we're are part of some great membership with specialised signatures. I wonder what Peregrine will make of this conversation, she'll probably thinks it's English snobbery, to which I'll reply "no – the Welsh really are that deformed". Ashnard Talk 17:52, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
Is Perry a girl? Oh, she doesn't act like one. You're right though, the Welsh are that deformed. By way, what does &dash signify? I was a bit unfair about the Scottish though, my psychiatrist is Scottish and he's one of the nicest people I know. By the way do you know how to create categories? YourLord font> color="red">Talk 17:52, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
Perry is a girl – Yes, I was suprised too. "&ndash" (with semi-colon on end) will be represented as a dash (as you can't get one on keyboard), as in the punctuation mark. If it shows up as that in text, it means I've made a mistake. Sorry, I don't know what you mean by categories. Ashnard Talk 16:54, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
You know, Fictional lawyers, Fictional dicatators, Television characters, Hubris. I want to create a category for Fictional gingers and Dark Lords.
Not to worry, I've done it. I'm going to bed now, I've just gotten back from a party.
Oh right, I understand now. Fictional gingers? Very interesting. Ashnard Talk 09:57, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
Indeed. Not surprisingly it's already being considered for deletion, as is Dark Lords, the latter for being "To subjective to define" lol. How is being a Dark Lord too subjective to define, you just need to be evil, have magical powers and dress in black or some similar dark shade. How much more do we need to spell it out for these retards? I can understand why Fictional gingers is being considered for deletion though, I was slightly drunk when I created it.
Oh you party animal. Wikipedia is still quite a strict place; if what you create is not deemed suitable or necessary, then it will be deleted. It's just quite annoying when you come across someone quite unreasonable (as I have), who is unwilling to listen, but you just have to keep your patience on this thing. Good luck. Ashnard Talk 15:07, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
I know, I'm debauched aren't I. Unfortunately it was a family affair, rather dull really, I prefer having parties with my mates, I get much more inebriated. If it has been a party with friends I'd probably have created a category for Fictional dumb blondes, lol. I'll try and keep my patience with the "retards" with regards to the Dark Lord category but I'll keep my cool if the Fictional gingers category gets deleted. They've very cleverly proofed the Dark Lord article from being re-created. When I want to create an article I type in the name of it and then it brings up a page saying "This article does not exist, to create it please type in the space below" but when you type in Dark Lord it just re-directs to fantasy tropes or supervillains. Sneaky buggers.
Yes, they are cunning. Just keep at it. Oh, by any chance, do you follow football? Looking at the Beckham comment earlier and you being from Chester, I assume you don't. Just checking. Ashnard Talk 19:51, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
Yes however Mighty-Tom, uh YourLord sorry, is more cunning still. I have created a page entitled The Dark Lord. Ha-ha. No I don't follow football, I'm not really a sporty person.
Aha, marvellous YourLord, except it redirects to Fantasy tropes and conventions. I love football, but don't follow any other sport at all, except from the Olympics when it's on. Ashnard Talk 06:21, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
Oh come on Ashy, nobody watches the Olympics anymore, not even the gods. As for my article on Dark Lords, it was deleted and I've just recieved a message from that pompous fool, Zythe telling me not to re-create the Dark Lord article becasue it was re-creation of Deleted Material. Observe my response because I think it's rather good.
Well said YourLord – tell them how it is, although the "featured article" comment was a bit of an exaggeration if you don't mind me saying. The Olympics is decent, but rather depressing. Who wants to watch their country fail miserably? It can be embarrassing and annoying sometimes. This country just seems to cling to and congregate towards any glimmer of success no matter how small, whilst other countries have a decent athlete for each sport – even the obscure ones like clay shooting. Big wow, Kelly Holmes won two gold medals and she became a demi-goddess when she returned which highlights our desperation for – and lack of – Olympic success Ashnard Talk 17:49, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
No don't be silly, of course it wasn't an exaggeration. I agree with you about the Olympics although I can't say I actually watched them when they were on. That Mariah Sharapova's fit though. In more ways than one, lol. She reminds me of a Bond villain for some reason. I suppose it's that "Nuzzink is ever enough" line.
YourLord Talk 19:35, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
You fool – do you know what it takes to reach FA staus? It's actually impossible for some articles because the content must not be too specific and must have multiple topics regarding different things. Maria Sharapova? I like Russians. Russia is one of the most interesting existing countries in my opinion. Ashnard Talk 17:36, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
Am I bovvered? Am I bovvered though? Look at the screen is the screen bovvered? I ain't bovvered, I ain't even bovvered though. Look, screen, feature article, Dark Lord, Maria Sharapova, I ain't even bovvered, too specific, multiple topics, I ain't bovvered, different things, screen, bovvered, look, screen, bovvered, I ain't BOVVERED! Seriously though it was a feature article though!
YourLord font color="purple">Talk 22:08. 17 May 2006 (UTC) innit though.
Catherine Tate, I like it. But remember, Peregrine hasn't been here in a while so you don't have to make British-culture references to make her feel excluded. By the way, I could bet yout that it wasn't FA status. Ashnard Talk 18:22, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
What a fucking liberty! I did not make a British pop culture reference to make our dear Perry feel excluded. And yes I'll have you know it probably was FA status. Have you seen some of the things that get FA status nowadays. Right I'd just been downloading "The Windmills of Your Mind" and "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" (don't ask) onto my I-Pod (I got it for my birthday from Apple, purveyors of fine I-Pods) and I had ten minutes to kill so I thought what's the harm of going on Wikipedia? Famous last words. So I signed onto Wikipedia and listen to this. The feature article for the day was Wario. Wario? Anyway it turns out this Wario guy is a character from Super-Mario. Super-Mario! A game about this stunted Italian plumber who goes around with a Princess called Daisy (she's actually called Toadstool in some versions - don't ask) and another stunted little Italian, what were he called, oh that's right, Luigi saving the world from giant turtles, witches, aliens and this little Wario guy. And the afore-mentioned little Wario guy from a game called Super-Mario has made FA status. Well it's political correctness gone mad innit? I mean I'm not racist, my granddad was a midget but a character from a game about Italian dwarves saving the world makes FA status and my Dark Lord article gets deleted. The dirty bastards. This is on Wikipedia! The dirty evil Fantasy character trope hating bastards.
YourLord Talk 22:23, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
So much to learn YourLord. It's not about the basis of he article that earns merit, it's the actual content. An article on faeces could get FA status if it's good enough, and if a war-article is poorly written, then it will receive a low rank. I actually play Mario games so I know quite a bit about all that stuff. You'll be suprised, game articles are popular and thus receive quite a lot of attention and effort – just look at the game-related FA articles. Why? Because many people who contibute are semi-intelligent/semi-geeky youths and young adults who like to play videogames; it's an interesting subject. By the way, the Peregrine-exclusion thing was a fruitless attempt at wit/humour – the fact that I had to tell you that shows me that I've failed. Ashnard Talk 10:33, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

Hey, thanks for adding your name to my list. We'll have to play sometime. :) Drumpler 20:55, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

General[edit]
Uh, general is both an adjective and a noun. I don't know if you figured it out and reverted because of that, but I guess I let you know anyways. TTN 18:22, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
Yeah, I feel like a right idiot now. But you really should've said generic instead of general in that instance. Ashnard Talk 18:24, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
- General means "not specific", while generic means the "the same" (the same species, the same non-brand product). They can't really be used interchangeably. TTN 18:29, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
- Maybe it's just where you're from, but if I were to say "generic section", I would be implying a "cookie cutter" type thing (as in all articles using the exact same format). TTN 18:36, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
- Ah, the difference of cultures. I see you've picked up on my English location. It's my fault, it's just that your usage didn't sound right to me. But it is still correct. Thanks. You do remember that I was the hopeless campaigner of the late Ashnard page, right? Ashnard Talk 18:40, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
- Yeah, the English language is annoying like that. Yes, I remember you. Well, I guess that's about it. TTN 18:45, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
