• 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?

    Happy Pi Day!

    Happy Pi Day! I closed my eyes before coming into this thread, and all I could remember was 3.1... I'm not good at maths. :(

    Famous Ancestors/Relatives

    My great-great-grandpa (I think that's the right number of 'greats'?) on my mother's side was the Chief Rabbi of Britain in the early 20th century, according to my grandma. That's about the most famous person I'm related to...

    What Games Are You Playing?

    Re: What Games Are You Playing? (Redux) I left all my consoles back home, so all I've got is a few games on my laptop. Most played game would probably be Europa Universalis III. It's a fun strategy game that lets you do loads of historical what-ifs, such as "what if Cornwall became independent...

    On college majors

    Speaking from experience as someone who's currently trying to get into journalism, I can tell you that it's really not the best job prospect out there. Journalism is a slowly-dying field. It's also one of the most ridiculously competitive fields you can imagine. Unless you've been doing work...

    On college majors

    No offense bro, but if it's lots of money you want then don't do a Humanities discipline. :P Sure, there's the *opportunity* to advance your career and *eventually* make a boatload of money, but it's nowhere near the same 'magic bullet' that, say, a Maths degree is.* That said, don't be afraid...

    Mental health support in your country

    I'm not sure whether learning disabilities fall under the aegis of mental health issues, but that's certainly an area with room for improvement in England. My brother has low-functioning autism and my parents have to fight tooth and nail to get appropriate provision for his needs (respite care...

    TMI Time: Virginity

    Cultural assumptions, bro. Guys with lots of female friends are often seen as players. If nothing else, it's usually a sign that you're at least capable of socialising with women without scaring them off. Perhaps Chibispore didn't explain the point brilliantly, but let's give them the benefit of...

    I'd love to go there! Actually, all of Eastern Europe is a bit of a mystery to me. I should have taken a gap year and gone wandering. :P

    Alternatively, you can just pop down to the pub for delicious (if expensive) local ale. :D

    As Tarvos pointed out, you have your drink as your post-hike reward. :) Then again, I have met people who bring a flask of spirits with them on walks to keep warm! Apparently the trick is not to drink too much at once. :D

    Nobunaga's Ambition X Pokemon

    If only that were true of the Gundam spinoff, Gihren's Ambition. :( This looks weird as hell. I'd be impressed if it does get a Western release, though I cba to buy a 3DS to play it. :P

    Why do people dislike Americans?

    i.e. your post which was clearly a joke. :| you do realise that at least half this forum's membership is American? sometimes I think this might not be such a bad thing. a little enthusiasm never hurt anyone. it certainly annoys me that every damn English person feels the need to be so LOL...

    Why do people dislike Americans?

    have you ignored almost every single post in this thread which has basically just repeated the same thing over and over again? no-one has any beef with the American people, we just complain about the politics (and then, that's only if people are going to bring up politics in the first place).

    Why do people dislike Americans?

    most serious anti-American hate is either from trolls, angsty children or self-deprecating Americans. pretty much everyone who isn't an idiot recognises that American politics and the actions of a few deranged individuals are unrepresentative of the greater majority of the American people. the...
