Do you have a really scary story to tell?!

**sweetbet** · 26 November 2013, 3:48 am

I've just finished reading "The Demonologist: The Extraordinary Career of Ed and Lorraine Warren by Gerald Brittle" and "Satan's Harvest by Michael Lasalandra and Mark Merenda with Maurice and Nancy Theriault and Ed and Lorraine Warren". They're both very scary books from the case files of Ed and Lorraine Warren which you may remember from the movie "The Conjuring" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k10ETZ41q5o

Basketball with friends - awesome hobby.

**QuasarAffiliates** · 26 November 2013, 4:48 am

Wow this is amazing... 6 kids...whats the trick? I know you would probably say time management and organization but there are days where my hobby is my shower...LOL
And to top it all off, I have 6 kids which take most of the time I'd like to spend doing the things above.[/QUOTE]

**QuasarAffiliates** · 26 November 2013, 4:55 am

I started watching the movie and I can normally take it but this one just had me and turned it off after 30 mins or so...Not sure why but there was something really scary about this one!!! Is it really worth watching???? I am tempted to give it another go!

Ha ha, I'd never really thought about it before, but now you mention it, there are tons... For non-brits, here's a guide to our beautiful language:

- Having A **** = Having a wee (eg: 'where's Bob? Oh he's having a **** behind that bush')
- Taking The **** = Making fun of something/someone (eg: 'are you taking the ****?' or 'he was taking the **** out of Bob')
- A **** Take = Multiple uses, usually describes something negative or easy. Comes from 'taking the ****'. (eg: 'adding a quota and cutting the commissions is a bit of a **** take' or 'was the exam hard? nah, it was a **** take')
- Piece Of **** = Something that is easy (eg: 'that exam was a piece of ****')
- Pissed Off = Angry (eg: 'I'm pissed off')
- Pissed Me Off = Cause of anger (eg: 'Bob really pissed me off last night' or 'you're pissing me off now')
- **** Off = Go away (eg: '**** off mate')
- Pissed = Drunk (eg: 'I was so pissed last night')
- On The **** = Going drinking (eg: 'I was on the **** last night')
- Pissed It Up The Wall = Wasted something, usually refers to money (but doesn't have to). (eg: 'bob was given £50 by his grandma for his birthday, but he just pissed it up the wall')
- Lanky Streak Of **** = Someone that is very tall and skinny (quite a negative term). (eg: 'Bob is such a lanky streak of ****')
- Pissing Contest = When multiple people (usually guys) get overly competitive. Comes from school days where people actually would have pissing contests (don't ask). (eg: 'bob and fred got into a pissing contest last night')
- Pissing It Down = Raining heavily (eg: 'it's pissing it down outside')
- **** Head = A drunk (eg: 'bob is such a **** head')

That's the post of the week right there, baldidiot.

**kristal_cm** · 26 November 2013, 7:54 am

Long power walks in the country side with my friend
Geeky stuff like reading online marketing case studies and work on my own affiliate projects (FASHION not gaming).
I play pool (got a pool table at home).
I'm also learning to play chess. Any chess noobs out there?
Ohh at the moment i'm watching an old series 24 which I must say is pretty addictive.

Jealous.

**ElaineGardiner** · 26 November 2013, 11:07 am

Watching tv, sleeping and eating are my favourite hobbies.

Other than that I work on my own affiliate blog (Beauty product reviews) and about 101 other websites I start and never finish when I have an "amazing idea".

**baldidiot** · 26 November 2013, 11:34 am

I'm liking the fact that some of you AM's have your own affiliate sites!

"****" sayings are also used quite often in Oz. Guessing we got them from the Brits.
You can almost substitute **** with **** in any saying and it will work.

All of my hobbies pretty much include exercise in some form or another.

I also have a cosmetics website that I havent really spent too much time on lately. Elaine maybe we should do a link swap

I like anything that involves socialising. As my dad calls me, I am the social butterfly. I'm sure I would talk under the water.

I think it's a good idea for AM's to have their own sites. Gives us experience on both sides, and I use what I learn from my sites I can use in my day job and vice verse.

I'm confident that for a lanky streak of **** such as yourself improving your English is a piece of ****, and I'm not taking the **** at you.
