I'm here! Posting effective immediately.

So many walls of text D: I think mine need to be longer.

Does anyone follow football at all? Association football that is, not the american sort (I don't mind that either though)

[Nosuchthing]

No, I've never really had an interest in watching sports, well, not traditional ones anyway. E-Sports FTW!

Brief is fine. I am usually shorter. First posts tend to get long winded, simply because there's so much ground to cover at a stretch.

And I only pay attention to football once every four years.

Fair enough, world cup is pretty special!
In your post I actually laughed at the hitting your head on the pod XD I envisioned Dumb and Dumber for some reason. I can see Mr.Pilot injecting some comedy throughout the RP, meaning Natan will probably like speaking to him :P

Sorry mine is so short. I just didn't feel the need to have an outrageously long post.

I love American Football, but I did play a lot of soccer (Football) as a kid.

It's not about the length MusketMan, it's about the quality. And sorry to be so late, today's been a bear, and I've got two more days of bear to go Hope everyone's having a great night, or day, or whatever the heck depending on your time zone!

I'll let Heroes post and then I'll get onto my second post to reply to peeps! and maybe to the brief if that starts.

Also thanks to wordsmith for actually placing me in the Cafeteria! I just said I was walking there but it skips me having to backtrack :D

You definitely know your stuff, I'll probably end up asking you where I've gone wrong grammatically a lot, assuming that would be ok :)

Of course! I'd be happy to help, sweetie!

Drink plenty of Red Bull .

You guys should check out Celsius, if you're into energy drinks!

Also, concerning introduction posts, I don't normally write like that. Most of my posts are in 'regular' prose, but it's nice to do different things for intro posts!

[Nosuchthing]

Oh no, not red bull, I know what shit goes into energy drinks. I (oh so stereotypically) swear by tea XD

Good 'ol tea! The British stalwart. Also my team won today!! Woot woot. Do my happy dance *Shuffles*

I think we're ready for the brief if I'm not mistaken Heroes. Or at least the beginning of.

[Clumsywordsmith]

I honestly prefer consuming alcohol to energy drinks -- healthwise -- but maybe that's just my stomach talking.

I tend to drink both anyway.

I always found that sort of strange. Why the Brits? Why not the Chinese? They probably drink more tea than anyone.

Only because there are more of them, as far as I've heard from anyone who visits they say it's true how we all drink tea all the time. Known as a 'Builders Brew' it's nothing like Chinese hot leaf water XD It's like the Irish and Guinness. It just goes a long with our 'we think we're posh having tea and biscuits' mentality :P I think it's our national drink.

EDIT: Great post Heroes! I'll post tomorrow, I'm in the Cafeteria too now btw, so if anyone wants to interact with Natan go for it :)

See, now that's weird. I couldn't think of another nation not in the UK that has a national drink.

Yet, I suppose everybody has idiosyncrasies.

Yeah I suppose you are right. I guess Russia is synonymous with Vodka. Scotland with Scotch, Mexico with Tequila? Now I think about it there are a few, but more unofficial national drinks. Your from America right? I know you lot drink Coffee a lot. I wouldn't say it's your national drink though. I guess, with England being so...multicultural it's difficult to find something quintessentially British, at least for me it is. A builders Brew though, that's England. (Unintentionally sounding patriotic)

I like living in England, we have a certain...freedom, which is nice. In my opinion we are governed by idiots though, and whilst our high opinion of ourselves might have been justified in the 20th century, I think we have gone down-hill since then. I don't like it but we have our fare-share of Yobo's too. Kinda going on a rant here, but I find it interesting. I'll be going to sleep soon anyhow. I hope everyone had a good day, or will have a good day depending on time zones.

Yes, tea and the English absolutely do go together in my thoughts at least, always. And my experience with the British I've met has been wonderful, so I know not a thing about downhill at all. And for heaven's sake, be as patriotic - quite intentionally - all you like! You've got good reason to be!

That was a wonderful post Heroes - now everyone is let loose to write!

[Blackbeard]

Posted! I've changed the formatting on my speech, I like it to stand out more (Also, thanks to Prisk, I've only just found out how to Indent) I hope it's still easy for everyone to read. I equally hope everyone is having a fantastic day!

I suppose that's the pessimist in me :P One thing I do know is how pessimistic the Brits can be, we love a good complaint. I'm not really the patriotic sort, strangely. I'll defend Britain vigorously yet I'll moan and whine about it at the same time :P

Thanks for the post, Blackbeard. I'm doing well this morning, and I hope you are also. As for your comment about defending Britain, I don't know of anyone from any country that won't tout their nation, and in the next breath bemoan her character . Just part of being human I suppose.
