Now every thing is under lock and key at schools and they use something called CCTV

lol. I don't get into trouble much. The worst I have ever done is accidentally drop a hockey ball down the Rugby post holes a few years ago.

And my mother was also very good. However, she was definitely a budding scientist, and she and a friend decided that they wanted to make something at break time! So they looked in the library, and found a concoction. This chemical was to be spread in tiny quantities on door handles, to create a crackle under the fingers when touched.

This sounded very exciting, and in those days, the chemical stores were not locked. So they borrowed the book, and set to work at lunch! Unfortunately, the book did not give quantities, only ratios. So they mixed it up in a 1000ml beaker. Nearly a litre of the stuff.

However, once made, they realised that it was sort of uncontrollable! It kept fizzing and cracking and erupting and seemed actually to be quite dangerous! So they carried the whole beaker down to the rubbish bins, and dumped it in. However, it was still spitting and crackling, and so splashes went onto the carpet, and whenever someone stood on a splash---crack!

They realised that they were completely out of their depth at that point, so they owned up to the chemistry teacher.

It turned out that they had made far, far too much, but also they had binned it! And binning it was the worst thing to do! They were supposed to leave it under water for at least a week to make it safe.

And so the firemen and police came it, and area near to the bins was evacuated, the firemen fished it out and put it under water, but the rubbish had been completely contaminated by this point, and kept crackling and popping! And so the firemen emptied half of their engine into the bin to try to dilute it.

The cleanup operation was a success, but my mother got in quite a lot of trouble! Quite a lot of trouble! And after that, the chemical cupboard was kept locked!

Hey,

Everything is great!.. Bout to finish the semester of college and move to a new city soon, still deciding where.

I had to come check in with everyone here at VF though because it has been way too long...

 

[Smurfyy]

Indeed Chase, haven't seen you around here in a while

Today..
I plan to back-up all the stuff on my netbook then completely reinstall Seven. I have so many partitions on here, and everything is messed up, I keep getting errors and the system just hangs, so yeah.
Have also worked out how to use remote desktop, which is pretty cool, cause if I'm downstairs and I want something from my PC upstairs, I can just remote desktop it, then drag and drop to my netbook's desktop!
I'm also hoping to go out with some mates, haven't actually been out with them in ages, see, then this is why I don't like facebook, because while I'm sitting at home bored out of my nut, I see statuses on there saying they have gone out, yet when I text round they say they're not, so idk.
I need to go out somewhere quiet to think about some stuff, ITEC, the Aero apprenticeship, and some other stuff.

Tonight...
I'm doing this quiz night thing, it's for charity and I'm taking scores and stuff, so it should be a laugh, gunna be meeting up with some old mates too.

Should be a good day if it all works out.

Lol thanks mate

And yeah, but, it saves me from walking upstairs, and I do the same thing with my netbook when it's downstairs too, since I use mIRC for Andromada, I don't want to do all the join/quit messages, so I leave mIRC connected on my netbook and remote desktop it on my pc so I don't have the messages

Also planning on doing the same thing with my servers once I get them up and loaded, will be better than going outside to change something, just do it while I'm at my pc lol.

Today I received a lovely thank you message from a member I had helped and I really think it represents the sort of thing we're all here for

I have two IGCSE Maths exams in two weeks time, and then everything else, internal exams, a week after that. So I shan't be back much for about three weeks!

Today,
I'm the happiest I've been in a while,
Here's the situation--

When I was in JR school I met someone and became great mates with her, we was so close. She was a foster child, her mum was seriously ill and was unable to look after her and her 2 sisters, she was taken in by some family friends that live round the corner to me, like a could of roads away. It was coming to the end of year 6 and we both had a place at secondary school, her foster parents told my parents that she had to move away, my parents tried everything they could to keep her on the island.

Eventually she was moved away to somewhere near Basildon, kinda close to me. We sent to see her but her new foster family didn't want me to contact her, or have anything to do with her, like they wanted me out of her life.

<Insert 5 year gap here>

Well, a few weeks ago my mum started doing a local market with our sweet stall, she got talking to the trader opposite us and found out that her daughters went to the same school we thought that this girl was at. The next week the lady bought her daughters up to the market, my mum exchanged numbers with them.
Today my mum got a text with what she thought was the girls number, so my mum went ahead and dropped her a text, and got a reply. I knew nothing about this.
So anyways, my mum tells me whats happened, shows me the texts and gives me her number.

If anyone knows me well, they'd know that I'm pretty cool taking to people, but idk, I just went quiet, so I called her, and it was definitely her, y'no, you just know it's the right person. I was on the phone for about half an hour to her, added her on facebook and that.

I'm just so amazed and speechless that I actually found her, like, I can't describe how happy I am at the moment, don't think anything can bring me down
