I am playing the mapcrunch game (you click all, click hide location then it drops you to a random place and you have to find the nearest airport) and it dropped me in the fucking australian desert.

I keep getting ridiculous places like some tiny village in Brazil no one's heard of and can't be bothered finding an airport.

Whilst packing for tomorrow, remembered a great old tip for packing efficiency.

Has anyone used JetParks 3 at Manchester Airport? Is there a shuttlebus to the Airport?

By... putting your clothes in a suitcase?

You're going to have to explain it since in the case, the picture tells not of a thousand words, or some similar bollocks.

The technique blew my mind when James told me it. He was sitting on the sofa while I was packing away his stuff, and he said "Now zip it up, stand it up and give it a good shake". I did so with a skeptical mind. "Now put it down and open it again" So I did.

HOLY SHITBALLS THERE'S LOADS MORE ROOM.

Does anyone ever see people around univeristy who are wearing "proper" metal band shirts?
I was just thinking that since being at Portsmouth I haven't seen a single person wearing one aside from the odd Metallica or Iron Maiden shirt.

I see the occasional shirt, but it's pretty much always a band like Motorhead, Metallica, Slayer, etc. Any time it's a more 'lol obscure' one, it's usually a RockSoc member I know. Or a mirror.

When I was in University, I WAS that guy. The closest thing to a metal shirt on someone else I saw was Bowling For Soup :lol:
If I like it, It's probably awful.
