• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

    Voting USA 2012?

    they don't really represent my views tbh. :P although really it depends on the individual candidate! if the Labour candidate standing for MP in my constituency is a known shit but the Lib Dem (or even, god forbid, a Green or independent) candidate is a better alternative then I'd go for them.

    Voting USA 2012?

    The problem is, there isn't really a mainstream party in the UK political system which subscribes to socially progressive/fiscally conservative politics. If I want to support small state policies, I have to vote Conservative (or I suppose UKIP, but I find their Little Englander rhetoric just too...

    The QUILTBAG Club (formerly the LGBT club)

    Best of luck to your friend, Zhorken. I'd suggest it might be worth persisting with her mother. Since she now knows, that's one bridge already crossed. This is just a possibility given that we don't know the details of her situation, but it might be that her mother hasn't fully understood what's...

    Upcoming Video Games that you Want

    Oh lord this so much. A brand new Fire Emblem game that's not a remake! Voice acting! Actual gameplay innovations! A guaranteed European release! Might actually be the dealbreaker on me getting a 3DS, once the price goes down a bit and they release a few more decent games.

    Voting USA 2012?

    I like to think that the Lib Dems did what they did for the greater good. They scarified their integrity and honour (and any chances of re-election) in order to mitigate as best as they could against the worst excesses of a Conservative government. For example, Lib Dems regularly cockblock Tory...

    Voting USA 2012?

    If anything, I'd say they're getting less corrupt, at least in Britain. Things like the cash for access scandal and the expenses scandal get widespread attention thanks to a strong, independent press and (to a lesser extent) the forces of Internet Twitter Democracy Warriors or whatever you're...

    The QUILTBAG Club (formerly the LGBT club)

    It suits him perfectly! He's the archetypal public school lad. It's definitely not hard to imagine him yelling "BANTAAAH" as he downs a pint in front of a crowd of cheering First XV boys. Also, it's probably better than the alternative. "BJ for mayor!"

    The QUILTBAG Club (formerly the LGBT club)

    Livingstone did jack shit to stop the ads, it was Boris Johnson (the current Tory (right-wing) mayor) who got them banned. All Ken has done is to try to turn the situation into political capital against Boris. At least Brian Paddick (the Lib Dem (left-ish-wing?) mayoral candidate who...

    TMI Time: Virginity

    no longer a virgin! but I'm rather surprised to find that what people said about it not meaning that much is true. sure, the first time was fun but I don't really feel any different now than I did before. :/ I guess there's the small self-confidence boost of "oh well so I'm not so ugly/socially...

    Your Personality?

    what does any of this even mean. :/ also, too true. you're the worst judge of your own character.

    Should we get rid of pennies?

    because everyone at York got rejected from Oxbridge because the rents/living costs are so amazingly cheap. and because for some reason the north has a high concentration of top-ranking universities (Durham, York, Leeds etc.) it depends which bit of London you go to. :P obviously you don't go...

    Should we get rid of pennies?

    if York is posh by northern standards then by god the north really is grim. :P you guys have Tory MPs, we have this idiot. idk England just sucks in general? :P

    Should we get rid of pennies?

    cheap booze is the advantage to living up north! the disadvantage is that you have to live up north. that's pretty grim if £10 only gets you that far. I'd have thought that outside of London/Brighton prices would be slightly less ridiculous. ah well, drinking at home can still be fun! half the...

    Should we get rid of pennies?

    see also: nights out on the town. I always withdraw money before going out (York nightlife is bloody cheap so I can usually get away with less than £20 if you factor out predrinks) and then leave my card at home so I can't be tempted to take out more. I learned that trick from a friend who once...

    Should we get rid of pennies?

    it still makes sense if you bear in mind a few things: a) for the sake of the joke, cashiers represent the organisations they work for. it's easier than saying "your employers set the prices ridiculously". b) it doesn't matter if there's a difference between reasonable use of change and...

    Should we get rid of pennies?

    well stop setting all your prices at £X.99 and then maybe we won't have as much useless small change clogging up our wallets all the time. :P I can see the advantages in this, but tbh I prefer using cash whenever possible. at least for me, it helps with budgeting if I can physically see money...

    On Clarinets!

    Good luck! If you've had three months to practice, you should steamroll the exam. :D If this is the Clarinet General Thread, might as well share the (mixed) news about my own clarinet! The shop said they already fixed it, and I can pick it up tomorrow (which is pretty impressive seeing as I...
