I'd teach Yu-Gi-Oh!...I'm serious o.o It teaches basic numeracy and literacy, problem solving, business skills to deal with trades and buying/selling, communication and confidence too! It's not just a card game, it's a way of life that can help improve some of the basic skills you need!

-Basic maths (numeracy) can be seen as what attack points is higher, when battling a monster, and when something were to change the attack points then you can use basic maths to learn what different numbers total up to - Plus subtraction, even multiplication and division!

-Literacy would involve reading the card text, even the normal monsters, and learning what different words mean. What you can and can't do when different problems are infront of you (whether you can do something or something else is stopping you)

-Business skills are learnt from buying and selling cards, whether buying something for x-amount is worth it or if you can get it cheaper; Trading will allow you to learn what cards are worth and if the values match up (numeracy) and if the deal is worth it.

-Communication from reading the cards and explaining what you're doing. Confidence when you're losing, instead of giving up you'd carry on until it's over.


I've learnt the correct places to put semi-colons; Also Colons, too!
Plus I'd get to teach something that I really enjoy

I really enjoy the Digimon World OST in general, but for single background music it'd have to be the Machindramon battle <3 Though I'm partial to Crash Bandicoot - Crash Team Racing in particular <3

Song: The Gnome
Band: Pink Floyd
Album: The Piper At The Gates of Dawn

Currently listening to:

Song: Nao Bate O Corocao
Singer: Astrud Gilberto
Album: Beach Samba

Astrud's music is really mellow and relaxing, and her Beach Samba album is an album that's worth listening to!

I'd be surprised if there was any open homophobic people here, and if there was then I doubt the moderators would tolerate them if they started to become homophobic - which is why I believe this is a great forum.

As for myself? I'm openly bisexual/pansexual/asexual/demisexual - My true sexual orientation can't be pinpointed to one sexuality, it swings depending on my mood and what I see.?

I've probably slept for around 20 hours once, can't remember why but it was probably because I was really sick and wanted to make sure my body was fully recovered before I resumed life.

If you don't count the Nintendo Streetpass games; I was playing Mario Kart 7, online play is really fun and competitive

I'm gonna cause a lot of distress and anguish here; I'm not a fan of Pokémon!

I don't see the whole appeal of buying every new game just to do the same things over and over again - Capturing every Pokémon and going for 100%, It's the same thing in every main Pokémon game and there's no major plot to it (unlike in other repetitive games like Crash Bandicoot, Final Fantasy, Spyro the Dragon, etc etc).
Saying all that, I HAVE played Pokémon (also watched people play) and I can see why people continue to buy the game - It's fun, and the battling with friends is something that makes the Pokémon games stand out (and the big tournaments, and prizes, you can win too for being the best [I went to the Winter Nintendo Streetpass UK  Pokémon Tournament in London last year, supporting my local players, and the whole day, despite the derping around and getting lost, was amazing]) 

Also looking at Pokémon X and Pokémon Y, it gave me the biggest desire to start playing Pokémon - but I refused to give in, mainly because money reasons.

So yeah, I'm not a fan of Pokémon but I wouldn't knock it and shell out my dislike for it without giving praise for the creators giving everyone something fun to play.

Red and Pink Red because of Liverpool, and Pink because it's really awesome o.o

An age-old question, one that will never have a definite answer because you'll have both fan-camps arguing while the neutrals will be watching Samuari Pizza Cats
It's hard to separate Digimon and Pokémon; Digimon has the series and a mediocre game series, while Pokémon has an on-going story line that has spanned the length of Ash Ketchum's current age AND a game series, with spin-offs, that keep fans wanting more! In a sense, Pokémon is the better franchize.

That being said; I'm a big fan of Digimon, so I'd have to side with Digimon until Lucario comes into the fray and that's when things get serious :O

If we fear death then we've already given up on life; Enjoy life as much as possible, once death comes then embrace it with a mighty hug...unless it's Candlejack, then yo-

What can be defined as "odd"?

I guess you could say that talking/rambling to myself, whilst cycling, with a vocal impersonation of Ghost Nappa, is odd - but it does kill boredom and makes my cycling less boring.

It's that easy? o.o It wasn't in the formatting tags section or anything D: You can tell I'm a Twitter user, using the at-sign

I stayed in Veldhoven, in a caravan site near the village-area of Veldhoven, and enjoyed cycling into Eindhoven and getting lost I'd love to go back again and do some cycling; visit Rotterdam, Amsterdam, Eindhoven, and other places where I've got friends

I've missed the bus many times in my life, usually it's never been a problem because it was going to/from school/college, but there was one time where I managed to miss the bus at one bus stop but catch it at the next one!
The bus got stopped at traffic lights and I decided, somehow, with my great running speed and minute-long stamina, that I'd sprint to the next bus stop, not knowing if I was going to make it or not - I managed to get there a few seconds after the bus had pulled in and someone held the bus up just for me This was a 1/4 mile run at like 8:20am!

Now days I don't have to worry about buses because I'm a cyclist, and usually beat the buses when I race against them towards home

Just thinking: I'm gonna cringe when I look back at this thread in a few years time, seeing that sort of introduction post and wonder "What the heck was I thinking; I've never done a post like that before, so why did I start now? *insert cringe tears here*
Saying that, I've already enjoyed the forum enough to want to stay - A decent amount of discussions to enjoy, something that I've not found in forums for a few years, and despite not being a major gamer I'm able to post to my hearts content (I've even avoided the 'forum games' to avoid the spamming)

So, thank you guys for the welcoming of "The Madness Swine", and I'll see you guys around the forum and chatbox o.o

@Juuldude
I know of the North/South Holland provinces because I've got a handful of Dutch friends on Twitter, and also because I've been to the Netherlands before (I really loved it, would love to go back again in the future). Though I did notice that a Dutch footballer, Tim Krul, said "Holland" in reference to "the Netherlands" - Maybe it's easier to just say "Holland" instead of a four syllable word?

(Also hope the tagging feature works too, as I was told about this feature when I had my first glimpses of this forum many months ago...)

Currently it's the British media (BBC and ITV) saying "Holland" instead of "the Netherlands" when talking about football - It's simple geography, Holland is a province of the Netherlands and not a country!
Also some of my football team-mates; They're either late to training, delaying us for ten minutes or so, or, one person in particular, moaning at me because I'm trying to help the team win, in training matches, by going forward in attacks (I'm a goalkeeper) - but yet they don't say anything when I successfully help win >.>

During the week: I'm usually searching for jobs and idling over Twitter and Facebook, making sure my trading group isn't having any problems whilst trying to get some trading in too. Wednesday and Saturday is Yu-Gi-Oh! day, so I'm usually out at my local hobby shop socializing and trading; Thursday evening and Sunday morning is football training.
When I'm not doing anything with real life, I tend to chill out with my music and Mario Kart 7, sometimes even Second Life when I'm really bored xD

Though I'm slowly getting back into the swing of forums, after a two year hiatus away from being a forum lark, and looking forward to getting a job if all goes well later today

It depends on the day coming, usually seven hours of sleep is what I'd get.

I enjoy my Daley routines, nothing will come as a surprise, but nothing is perfect and I enjoy the changes when it's abrupt
Saying that, I prefer to keep myself busy so as long I'm doing something useful then I'm happy
