Hey, Stuart not recognising Demi Lovato and saying that her mouth looks photoshopped is humourous; Agreeing with Stuart, and then realising that her mouth really IS that size is pretty awkward. XD
When i was little my mom would buy me those chinese fake legos, because original legos were soo expensive and i've had fun with them. And the best thing about them is that you can put them together with originals!
My mom had one of those magicutters and we live in the USA. Don't remember how it was branded but it worked quite well and was good for us kids as we were too young to handle scissors. I guess yours was indeed flawed or something as ours didn't cut skin.
SolidSonicTH That's not OCD. OCD is a disease that makes it impossible for you to cope with the smallest, most minuscule imperfections in life, often which are not even real. If you really had OCD, you'd want to commit suicide. Imagine having to get up an hour behind what you do now, just so that you have extra time in case you need to fix something. As in, the amount of milk in your cereal doesn't feel right, so you have to dump it back into the jug, refill the bowl, and probably do it again after that for about twenty minutes. Or re-locking your front door for ten minutes because you don't think it's good enough, even though it's perfectly fine. No, you're a perfectionist. Perfectionism is normal. You feel uncomfortable because something isn't as good as it could be, but you can live with it. OCD is not being able to. Learn about things before you wrongly diagnose yourself with a serious disease. That's like saying you have AIDS because you have a small fever.
I was shopping the other day, in the middle of a grocery store in Australia, and Block-Tech was there! It was $5 for the same kit that you first reviewed of Block-Tech, instead of $1.80 (the conversion from £1 to Australian dollars).
I actually had a 'Magicutter' from a different (actually respectable) brand... which I can't remember, and it was actually pretty decent. You didn't have to keep it parallel to whatever you were cutting, so it was easy to use, and I never managed to cut myself on it. It was magnetised like this one, too. Of course, it DID break after a couple of years...
As a Poundland employee, I feel inclined to inform you that over the last year the company has done a lot of changing. They're improving their stores to get rid of the Poundland Stigma of it being a 'poor man's store'.
its in the volume. You'll find a profit margin in almost anything if you can move enough product. its terrible business strategy that eventually bankrupts you... luckily you own the factory and prepared for this by choosing to make something thats so simple to build in the first place that you can just start producing something else. _Enter the dollar store/pound shop inventory supply chain industry_ just like _Enter the Dragon_ only with more tat and cheap plastic kungfu masters only XD

When I was about 6, I thought it was so awesome how my older brother haď a giant crate full of Lego and I wanted some myself. My parents bought me the Best-Lock thing and I almost cried from dissatisfaction. A year later they bought me a giant crate full of rainbow Lego and I was unbelievably chuffed.
I just figured out what Poundland was since not being from the UK it didn't pop in right away. It's pound as in dollar. I always thought it sounded like a gay bar. A land you go to to get your ass pounded and come back with cheap prizes!
I actually have one of those magic cutter tools and spent upwards of 20 minutes trying to cut myself. It didn't work No not on the wrist on the finger.. I'm not some emo shitlord.. I wanted to see if it would cut skin It doesn't
Here in US, Camp Rock was huge a few years ago. For me, it was pure hell! My kids wouldnt stop begging to see it, own the DVD. After they bought it, it played nonstop for days. At which point i think i tried to microwave the DVD..... It will never be played in my home again!
I thought it was her! And Christ, I find it sad when people feel anything towards a celeb or singer they don't listen to. Why does her existence bother you? I couldnt care less about Miley Cyrus, or Buster Jeibin. Then again I'm not jealous or bitter, just indifferent. And if anything I think Demi is actually quite a pretty lady now. Other than that I couldn't say anything as I don't know her or her music. Is this the point where I say Marilyn Mason and Slipknot are worse because they are carefully manufactured images that pretend to be better? Or that Iron Maiden and Motorhead have more merchandise than any Disney singer? ;)
Nick Armitt because Rock music was around before Disney ever even fucking came up with camp rock and all that shit. The band's you named off. Motor head or Manson they where around Way before camp Rock existed!?
To be fair, you could freely express your opinion anywhere because you are communicating via the internet. Although it makes you anonymous, it doesn't make your opinion more valid.

my brother used to have some best-lock, years ago. Back in the day, they had much taller studs than proper legos, such that it was hard to remove a best-lock fixed beneath a real lego block. They seem to be much improved since then. [/coolstory]
The best thing about Ashens it that with his old videos you don't get people going saying that his old videos were better

Poundland has better shit than dollar stores, that fake lego set wasn't actually bad.
I know right? The last time I saw something like fake Lego was about 3 years ago.
in dollar stars all we have is massive piles if plastickey shite. the only good things at dollar stores are the candy.
The GBP is worth considerably more than the USD. That helps
Dollar store is basically equivalent to a 65p store (they dont exists btw)
Probably because a pound is worth a bit more than a dollar

True. Very true.
It is the way of the trial of adulthood.
You must walk a path of lego with bare feet twice without even flinching.
To this day, many have failed.
Done, that's called my room.
I have managed to get lego pieces in almost every room in my house, I barely notice it when I stand on it.
Magicutter ⋘ standard box cutter. For those who are unaware of box cutters, they consist of an extremely sharp knife in a retractible shell.
