| I was also told that I am a visual learner. mind maps really work well for me aswel. especially if they're colourful, illustrated and stuck to the walls about my house.

| I know two people who have gotten out of this. One claimed asthma symtoms when stressed out and said that he didn't want to be wheezing and using his inhaler during jury duty, therefore disrupting the court. The other got out of it on religious grounds; my religion says that I must not judge the act... |

| Daniel Craig is grittier, meaner, blonder and better. Anyone else think that he's the most attractive bond? Casino Royal was an awesome film. Quantum of Solace was seriously lacking something. Locations? Gadgets? Although the theatre scene...amazing! |

| I tend to get asked for "20p for the phone, love" or "some change for a cuppa, darling" Its the "love" and "darling" that makes me cringe. I tend to mumble something about having no change and just walk on. They respond with "thanks anyway, sweetheart" and i cringe even more. (they really sound like... |

| I love riding my bike around the city and have never been aware of a sence of pity from others. Your doing a good thing for your health, the environment, your bank account and often reducing your amount of time commuting (its so satisfying to overtake the rush hour traffic!).

| 1. I would show a girl I was attracted to by looking at her either frequently or for longer than just a glance. 2. If I try to get your attention somehow, that means I'm interested. 3. If you walk up to me and start talking to me, you automatically gain many points. In general, guys like girls that... |
