Well, I am on 'study leave', where you spend your entire day at home studying for the big scary exams...

However, my engineering lessons are going on regardless, as the other three class members (big class!) all come from different schools which are not on study leave yet.

On Wednesdays, I go to a different school for 2 hours in the morning, except we have been extra clever and finished the course already. So we have nothing to do for those 2 hours, so the teacher lets us go back to our schools early, BUT, there IS no school so that means I can go home.

Why come in in the first place? To sign the register so I'm not marked as truant on the computers.

Waste of time really...

Fun, fun, fun...

Tomorrow I have to go to school...

For all of 5 minutes.

What grade are you in? or are you in college

I'm in year 12, Lower Sixth Form or whatever a 17 year old would be in America if he stayed on at school.

College I guess $:-\$

Well.

It turned out my estimate of 5 minutes was 35 times too long.

That's right. I was there for 10 seconds, just long enough to be told that a message was 'sent' to me yesterday saying that I didn't have a lesson. Thankyou to my school, who obviously thought it was not important enough to pass on.

EDIT: Some bright spark has put SS into 3D. http://80.95.161.114/shipsim/forum/index.php/topic,18785.0/topicseen.html (http://80.95.161.114/shipsim/forum/index.php/topic,18785.0/topicseen.html)

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PRETTY PLEASE put it as a feature in a future SS.

I know someone who has done it in 3d, along with many other games. Unfortunately my two year old card doesn't support it

I see that Ballast is ruling with an iron fist!

Way to go!

What's so shocking about apples?

Bear?

I don't understand you.

I wanted to test Ballast by reporting my own post, but it said

'You can't report your own post to the moderator, that doesn't make sense!'

Gah. I'm disappointed.

It reports them to Marty...

And it makes perfect sense really...

In Japan, you don't get a wheel clamped, you get a sticker put on your wing mirror. And people actually pay to have it removed. How responsible.
