@Liani: Oh my God, Beyblades! I had a few dud ones of my own, though actyally, my brother bought them. I never really held much interest for the game itself. I loved the series, though. Can't remember if Beyblades were banned. I do believe I was in high school by the time they became popular, and they certainly weren't popular in my all girls' school. ^^;; I watched Yu-Gi-Oh! too. (: Not so much as the Beyblade series, though. My brother, again, collected the fake cards and we played one of the games on GameBoy. Loved the game 'cause I rocked at it. xD;; @Fwoom: Aiya, you don't know what beyblades are?! O: [crash course on beyblades] These are standard typical beyblades played by young, immature boys leading pointless existences:  They are played using a leash thing... Yeah. xD;; You pull the leash thing (I really have no idea what to call it) through the beyblade and it releases it spinning. Really, it's a spinning top, heh. The aim of the game is to knock the other beyblade(s) out of the beydish (that's the dish thing you release your beyblade into). This is the Beyblade anime series:  There are four main characters: Tyson (the main character with navy blue hair), Max (blondie), Rei (Chinese guy) and Kai (the icy cool blue boy - left hand side). In the series, their beyblades contain bitbeasts - creatures that well... help them win, really. Unlike beyblades in real life, theirs last for ages. Never stop spinning really. Very unrealistic. But yet, an addictive anime. xD For those Beyblade fans... Is this not the cutest Kai picture ever?! *squee!* :3  [/beyblade crash course] xD;; Hope that helps, Fwoom-chan~ @cbc: Lol no. Maybe I'll check it out one day. @sin: Yes. That happened to me. ;_; I was young and naive and all my good cards got taken. Then my whole pack got stolen. It was... traumatising, really.

@thread talk ages ago::
1. 'elfy, don't compare me to you, plzkthx.
2. Of course there is a difference. London slang is used by people who live here, whilst chavspeak is used by chavs across the country.
3. Whilst there are areas of London which are more infested with chavs than others - such as Romford, in Essex - most of central London is happily chav-free. Mainly because they can't afford to live in central. Having been around most of central London at all times of day and night, I should know P;
4. Pokémon is the s**t. I've recently started playing PKMN Blue again on an emulator on my computer, and it's just such a good game. Oh, and we're re-watching the first series, as well. xD <3
5. Beyblade was inferior.
6. Yu-Gi-Oh! was inferior.
7. Rubik's cubes are superior.
That is all.
Also, I love you guys loads. (:

wow. /is enlightened
I have to admit, this is the first time I've even heard of such a thing as a beyblade. Here I'd been imagining some kid spinning a "blade" of some sort and the "blade" going into some other kid's eye... ^^;; I was like well really, of course they'd ban something like that.

@ Fwoom: -facepalm- no, it's not actually a blade, it's just a spinning top, silly xD
Though I guess that my stories would make it sound like some dangerous weapon to those who do not know what one is ^.^
I remember the guys in year 4 used to collect the tops, and I never quite got how to assemble one of those things. They have lots of pieces and you can take them apart and snap them back together.
And OMG it has 10 levels?! I would die.
I don't know much about piano diploma, but apparently there are 3 levels that you can choose from or something. Hmm...
And yeah, aural's like that.
In grade 7 you have to sing the lower part of a line of music that the examiner plays for you, you have to sing from a score while they accompany you (they give you the first note and the key), you have to identify a cadence (imperfect, perfect or interrupted), you have to say if a song, which starts in a major key, ends up in the dominant, subdominant or the relative minor, you have to answer questions on a piece of music (phrasing, tonality, articulation, style- as in classical, romantic etc, suggest a composer who wrote it, the time signature, form, texture, and so on), and you have to clap the rhythm to a line of music from the piece the examiner played above, and say what time signature it is in. Complicated >.<
@ Niphy: I just got back into pokemon by Sin telling me where a Bagon is ^.^
I have loads of discs of pokemon episodes and movies. Half my DVD case is filled with pokemon DVDs, which is quite sad actually, but I don't watch many films anyway.
I agree with the Yu-Gi-Oh and Beyblade being inferior and Rubik's cubes being superior thing.
I want a rubik's revenge.
Or a 5x5 rubik's cube...
Or maybe those cute 2x2 mini-cubes...
Or maybe one of those in a star shape.
Or maybe one of those weird spherical ones.
'Nyways.

@Niph: Trying to be nitpicky eh? razz It's like me saying Bogans are restricted to the west and north of Melbourne and the eastern suburbs are Bogan free. xd
@B&B: Lol the Beyblade anime! rofl I watched it a few times when it was running on early morning kid's TV. I think it was the second season or something. Anyway the whole thing sounded like Digimon with spin tops with the whole emphasis on Bitbeast and the 'destined four'. Actually I think any anime based on tops, cards, yoyos or controllable vehicles tends to go overboard and make things all magical and stuff.

There are 2x2 Rubiks?! O:
And spherical ones?!
SHOW ME.
@Mini: That's typical kid's anime for you, though. ^^;; So addictive when you're a kid...
Okay. Truth be told, they still are addictive. xD
@sin: I liked Kai. Though he was a bit cold. Heh. I hated Tyson in the first season but after that - kyaa, I loved him. Rei was all right and so was Max the Cutie Pie. After I became a yaoi obsessor I was totally into TyKa. ;D
*throws self upon 'Uncle Charlie'*
Where is Toshie when you need her, eh?

@ B&B:
The smallest is called the pocket cube or something, the normal 3x3 is just a rubik's, the 4x4 is the rubik's revenge and the 5x5 is the professor cube, or something.
Cuboid-shaped variants
Random other variants, including the sphere.
Rubik's dice (my physics teacher has one of these. He handed one to me in a lesson and I didn't listen for the whole double period because I was doing the Rubik's dice). Basically you have 6 square sheets of metal inside it, white with red spots on them in any pattern (as long as the red can be seen through the holes in the dice). You have to kinda flip them around to make all 6 sides of the cube with red spots.
O.o Charlie has returned! For a very short time...
