My friends and I like to reenact World War 2 (yes it is strange as it sounds) I always play as France. At the minute we have a UK, Poland, Germany&Austria, USA, Japan, France, Italy and Soviet Union.
Is that so you can spend most of the time drinking tea with your feet up having surrendered 12 minutes in?
Most of my time is like, they’re going to attack me through Belgium right? Belgium? Yeah Belgium, course it has to be Belgium…..aww crap.
And saying how France will never give into the filthy Nazis and then…oops. But then I get to plan the Resistance so it’s not all bad but yeah France is a bit of an easy card to play.
I also do narrator doing the little links so people know where the war is going, the intro to it is this:
“Welcome to World War 2. It is 1939, Germany and Austria have formed an alliance and invaded the Czech Republic. Every country has turned a blind eye not wanting to start a conflict that will lead to the deaths of millions like The Great War. The Spanish Civil War has just ended and the dictator General Franco rules the country. Italy has just invaded Albania and has made a personal union with the Albanian crown. May 1939, Italy and Germany sign a Pact of Friendship and Alliance saying they will be BFFs ’til the end. British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain states that Britain will protect Poland if it is invaded. Tensions are mounting, sparks flying and that is when on September 1, 1939- Germany invades Poland.”
It really is fun in that it’s both educational but you also get a kick out of planning attacks, we’ve started it again recently and we’re on November 1939, Poland has just collapsed after a month and 5 days of war, bit sad.
If any country is easy to play it’s Ireland, it’s basically: Neutral, rationing, Germany bombed us, Germany bombed us again, STOP BOMBING US GERMANY WE’RE NEUTRAL GODDAMMIT!, Bombing, Oh Hitler is dead better be the only neutral nation to sign the condolence book.
Oh Ireland

Not usually one to ask in here but does anyone keep a regular journal/diary?
I have since January 2011. I used to write a lot more than I do now. I used to try and write every vaguely interesting happening down, but now I only write when I feel like it and I’ve got a lot less time to waste than I used to, so I’ll often go for months without a single entry. Most of it’s quite boring to everyone except me at the time and some bits are rather cringeworthy, so I hardly ever read old entries.
They’re mostly useful if one is having the following sort of exchange: ‘No, we took that holiday in June of 2012.’ ‘No, it had to have been earlier than that, cos reasons.’ ‘No, it was in June of 2012 and I’ve got the diary entry to prove it’ *waves journal under nose of opposing family member*

Yes, I keep a journal of my dreams. I only record ones that I really find are important/interesting/etc. in order to save time and space, but it honestly doesn’t help that much, as I have a rememberable dream almost every night and thus always have plenty to record. At the moment I’ve got about 10 waiting to be written down, and I think I might be finally able to get them in there today.
In a way it’s just another way of keeping a daily diary, as my dreams quite often reflect on what is going on in my life at the time. I sometimes go back and look at some of the older ones to see what life was like at the time for me, and it can be an interesting process.
Oh, yes, and as of now I’ve got about 140 dreams total. Plenty of light reading there.

Oh, yes, I quite forgot I recently started one myself. I only write down the ones that I remember and are vaguely coherent, because many of my dreams are scattered fragments of nonsense which evaporate upon my waking. I’ve trained myself to remember the music-related ones, though. 
My dreams don’t usually have much to do with daily happenings, though.

Wow, that is so bold. I would never be able to share my journal entries with other people. I have read entries from my high school journal to one of my cousins, but I would mostly just write down epiphanies in there so it wasn’t very personal, and the personal things I didn’t read to her.

Not currently.
I’ve tried many times before, but I usually lose interest and give up pretty quickly.

If I may ask a question, I’m a bit of a computer history buff and I love old hardware. What’s the oldest computer you’ve ever owned? I’ve had an XT at one time, but most of my oldies come from the mid 90’s (alpha server and an SGI O2).
In 1995, I asked the law school advisor what I should do to prepare for law school. She said, “Buy a laptop computer and take a long vacation.”
My mom bought me this Toshiba Satellite T1910. Thankfully it lasted longer than my stint in law school. 
Not too bad for 1995.
Ohhh Boy wants me to tell you he still has his Commodore 64 and his TI-99/4a. His uncle bought the TI for him when they came out in 1981. Ohhh Boy bought the Commodore himself in 1982. He used the TI mainly for gaming because the stuff you could buy to run on it was so expensive. He had many more applications for the Commodore.

I don’t share my entries, but I often cite them.

Yes, a paper journal. I don’t write regularly though. I write more in my Livejournal online… though the REALLY personal stuff goes in my paper journal.

I never thought of an online journal.
Mine are all paper and i have a policy where the same journal design can never be used twice.

Not one hundred percent of the time, but yes, when it’s not too inconvenient or inappropriate to do so in the situation.

He’d still be into The Beatles, I know lots of Americans who are into The Beatles, both people who were alive back then or who didn’t learn about them until later, and they’re just as much of a Beatles fan as any guy from the UK.

Oh hell yeah, the Commodore 64 was the s**t back in 1982. I got my C64 back in Christmas 1983 and used it even after I got my NES Deluxe Set in 1985 because the games were great and a lot better than the 2600, although not as good as the arcade or NES, look at the comparison:

And in addition to the better graphics and the fact that there were games on it such as Ultima and Castlevania that were too advance for the Atari, you could also file your taxes and do your homework on it. Sadly, I had to wait until January of 1984 to get a floppy drive for it for my 17th birthday, so I was stuck playing Pac Man for a bit while my copy of Castle Wolfenstien was sitting there.
