I hate exams, not just exams in general, but biology exams. They make me want to gouge my eyes out with a spoon! Oh and very loose gun laws, the UK doesn't have them for a reason, as well as most of Europe, take the hint guys!

I harumph, etc. that I had to see this: http://martindavies90.wordpress.com/2... on Brandon Shire's group and not here in the Complaint Department where our own Roger Kean made the list as well.

Three cheers for our new member Martin who he has written such a wonderful paean about Roger so the whole world will know what genius he is and how wondrous his books are.
Thank you Martin!

Also if it were up to me all guns on this planet would disappear all at once right away

It must have been my frog and rat dissections. I wasn't such a good shot with .22 or Lee Enfield .303, though… I almost took out the RSM's left eye with a madly fired blank during Pirbright field day exercises (US members of the group now go blank-eyed).

But it's humbling to be included in a list with the likes of Stephen Fry, Ade Bulla, and (hero) Brandon Shire. Thank you, Martin!
I hated exams especially at Uni. I always spent exam season gritting my teeth.
I've always hated exams as well. I had a couple of classes that I was able to write a paper instead of taking an exam and twice I was able to do a presentation instead of an exam. That was always great to hav some option other than an exam.

Guns are alright provided they are used through cadets or military, our staff were so strict with nsps you wouldn't believe.
Anyway lads wish me luck for tomorrow :/ gonna need it.
If you were going on stage I'd say "break a leg," Tommy, but that's not really appropriate!
Guys you are top notch, I really appreciate the support :D everyones so nice on this site!
L@@K BOOK GIVEAWAY!Everybody Out of the Laundromat, I Need to Think!
Hiya guys
My book is selling well in America so I thought I'd do a giveaway. If you want a copy of my book send me an email at philgee60@hotmail.com and I'll send you a copy just for a week only.
Cheers

My complaint is that Roger posted this very cool link http://sabotagetimes.com/music/luke-h... in Which Book? and I don't have a title to play and I'd like to know was there a part 2?
Averin wrote: "My complaint is that Roger posted this very cool link http://sabotagetimes.com/music/luke-h... in Which Book? and I don't have a tit..."My complaint is that Averin can hear the music and I can't because it says "This video is not available in your country."
That Roger is such a tease :-)

Signed, I get appeals from Change all the time, wonder why I didn't receive this one. Thanks Roger.
Signed also. Definitely don't want his ilk here.
Roger posted this in Author's self-promotion where it belongs but I'm going to copy his message here so more people might see it. Author Roger Kean wrote:Hi Complainers! If you enjoy reading novels with a historical theme you may enjoy Thunderbolt:Torn Enemy of Rome. Well, you can download it from Smashwords for any ebook format for FREE until June 20. This is an exclusive to the Complaint Department. Warning, there are scenes of gay love and romance ;-)
Go to: Smashwords, select the book, select format, and enter code: DY77Y
And hopefully enjoy the story of Malco Barca, hero of Carthage.
Thanks Roger. Very kind of you :)
Thank you, Roger! And thanks, Preston, for the heads-up!
Excellent 5 star reviews are mandatory as far as I'm concerned because I fell in love with it's hero Malco who was the handsomest 20 year-old hottie to fight in the 2nd Punic wars (the one with Hannibal crossing the Alps with elephants.)WARNING: Anyone who is overly fond of lions and tigers and bears (oh my!) should remember that Roger (Roger Kean )'s exiting adventure and love story Thunderbolt:Torn Enemy of Rome takes place a couple thousand years ago when being away from a nice city with interesting shops or suburbs with big shopping malls and instead being lost in the cold, dark woods is a matter of kill or be killed. I mean are you going to choose Grandma or the Big Bad Wolf? Alexa (Alexa Land) doesn't need to answer that because we know from reading her books that her Grandma was more dangerous, crazier (and funnier) than the wolf.
NO elephants were injured in the making of this book.
Roger wrote: "Nice reviews always appreciated…"
Given that the CD is a public group, is the offer really exclusive? Can we share elsewhere or point other GR groups to the code?
Not to speak for Roger, of course, since I have no authority to do so, but if I had made that offer to the CD, I would expect only CD members to make use of it, and not to pass it around or alert non-members of the group to check in here to get the password for a free copy.After all, while word-of-mouth from free copies can logically help with future sales, the reality is still that each one given away is less income for the author.
Just my USD .02. And obviously, Roger may well have an entirely different response.
Eric
Thank you Eric (sorry for the transatlantic delay). I suppose if one is to be strictly mercenary, the idea of give aways is to raise awareness at the risk of losing some income, and the hope of a larger number of (hopefully) favorable reviews to arouse even further interest. In which case a bit of responsible passing on is acceptable if whoever the "secret" is given to will be responsible in turn and read the book because they want to, not just because it's free.That's all a bit convoluted :-)
Awww gosh… I just don't know how to complain about that!Thank you, Preston!
Eight Years! (Although, don't tell anyone, we've been together for a bit longer than that… er… since 1970)

Ugh! Nothing like forgetting to change back to 'toast' from 'broil' on the toaster oven--it doesn't do PopTarts any good.
Averin wrote: "Ugh! Nothing like forgetting to change back to 'toast' from 'broil' on the toaster oven--it doesn't do PopTarts any good."Averin,
So very glad to hear that you are taking good care of yourself and eating such remarkably healthy food!
Uh, hmmm. That statement presupposes that a PopTart can be classified as food, as opposed to an amalgam of chemicals combined for the purpose of being ingested and tricking the body into believing that it is being provided with something nutritious.

It was raspberry, only the best fruit ever, except maybe aver ins, :d
Call that FOOD! It's rubbish. We're led to believe that Europeans know something about food, not like Americans, so how about this nutritious product sold in England:TESCO ALMOND SLICES
Ingredients: Wheat flour, sugar, raspberry filling (20%), rapeseed oil, pasteurised whole egg, water, palm oil, sliced almonds (3%), potato starch, raising agents (Glucono-Delta-Lactone, Sodium Carbonate, Disodium Diphosphate), coconut oil, emulsifier (Mono- and Di-Glycerides of Fatty Acids), flavouring, salt, preservative (Potassium Sorbate), thickener (Xanthan Gum), dried skimmed milk, dried egg, glucose-fructose syrup, dried egg white, wheat starch, lemon fibre.
Raspberry filling: glucose-fructose syrup, raspberries (!!!), sugar, thickener (Pectin), acidity regulators (Citric Acid, Calcium Citrate), plant extract (Aronia Concentrate), flavouring, preservative (Potassium Sorbate), emulsifyer (Soya Lecithins).
Country of origin, The Netherlands.
The Dutch really know how to live! When you've eaten one small slice of this, you're totally full, so really it's a dieting aid.
I was going to compare chemistry of ingredients, and then, horror of horrors, found out that Raspberry PopTarts include dried pears as well as dried apples. I hate pears. I trust you're not scanning the label in the grocery aisle, Roger, so it must be in your own pantry. I commend you on your support of international trade, as well as lemon fibre producers.

Don't make me trot out the photos of your chocolate-stuffed freezer!
Okay, Averin, ya got me!For the rest of you, in case you might find it funny, too:
Fudge is rather expensive here, as in the good stuff that's made by a store specializing in it. About $10/lb. However, in May and October they have a 25% off sale. So I buy 6-7 pounds, as I did this May. The fudge is already cut in individual pieces, so I wrap each one in plastic wrap, and fill several freezer bags.
The store says frozen fudge lasts about 6 months. So by eating 1-2 pieces a week, this batch will last until the next sale.
Scrooge much? >s<

I don't think that's being a Scrooge. I call it strategic planning!!!!
