Dak is the screen-name of an 18 year old male from Sunderland, England. Originally called Dumb Ass Kid, he shortened it because he was "sick of getting called Dumb A** Kid" ;)

The England v Macedonia match was alright. I only caught the last 20 minutes or so, but it was a pretty evenly-fought match. England were attacking, but couldn't break the macedonian defence, and the macedonians were attacking but couldn't get past our defence. I didn't see it, but Peter Crouch scored the only goal in the game. The final score was Eng 1 - 0 Mac, with England playing below par. So to answer the question, no, not really

The first year is basically an introduction to the course, and well be learning the history of journalism and its effect, as well as the basics needed (shorthand, and how to properly research, for example).

They're crap. You borrow an amount, and it takes the rest of your life to pay it off. I know people who've had to take out loans just to pay their student loans off! I'm gonna try and avoid taking one out as much as I can. I hate being in debt (although admittedly, i've never really been in debt before), but I hate owing money to people
Also if you take out a student loan it is considered income (!) and then you can't get other benefits such as rent rebates and the like.

When I was younger, I always wanted a little brother for some reason (maybe because I didn't have too many friends and often found myself bored in the house on my own), but now I think having a brother or sister would annoy me. Plus, I get more money spent on me :D

Yes! Liverpool beat Newcastle 2-0 (including an amazing strike by Alonso - try and catch highlights of it if you can!), and Man City and Middlesbrough have been knocked out of the Carling Cup by lower-league teams

Not so much 'retired' (using that word makes me feel old ;D ) as 'lost interest in writing'.

Bairns - Mostly used by older people, it means young children or babies
Dee - means do, but only people with strong accents use it. It's mostly geordies who use this one
Div'nt - Means Don't, but again, this one's usually used by geordies
Fust - means first
Gan - means go
Hinney - Means 'friend', but more often used when speaking to a child. This is an older one, so most younger people don't use it. The 'h' is silent so it's pronounced 'Inny'
Lang - Means long
Mak - Make
Nowt - VERY commonly used by everone
Nee - Means 'none'
Reet - Quite common, but mostly associated with Geordies
Siven - Means seven
Tak - Take
Wad - Not as much used now, but it does come up once or twice
Wee - Who... another one that's dying out
Winnot - Will not. Quite common
Ye - Old people say 'Ye'... the younger use the pronunciation 'Yer'
Some common ones that i'm surprised aren't there are:
Ow - Can mean 'Alright' as in 'Alright, mate', but it's most often used as a means of getting someone's attention. I hear it a lot in the shop I work at "Ow, mate... how much are these?"
Canny - 'Pretty' as in 'It's canny cold tonight'
Aye - Probablies the commonest phrase you'll find. Means yes. Also, you'll often hear people say 'Why-Aye' which usually means 'Of course'
Garna - Going to
Kna - Know as in "I kna" (I know). 'I' is usually pronounced 'Ah'
Iz - Me... another extremely common phrase
Giz - Give me
Dinnot - Means don't. Again, another pretty common phrase
These are the phrases I come across every day, but to pretty much everyone else on here, I may as well have listed them in Japanese ;D

Thanks, Philip :)
And now i'd like to pose a question;
What have I missed? :-\\
You have missed out on plenty, and I do not know where to start.
I can start with a notable April Fools Day prank that the moderators had played on us earlier this year. They changed all our user-aliases to crazy things, and when we asked them about it at first, they pretended not to know about it! We suspected maybe a hacker got in or something. (For example, Red Ant was Piss Ant; Philip Eno was Philipinot Grigio...and other people's monikers were changed to leet-speak equivalents.) Yours was 'Smart Faced Adult', I think. There were a couple of threads about it in the PPP.

Also in April Fools 2008 - Official Cheat Sheet. But I think the first post only lists the people who were in the KarmaLog at the time (in the order in which they appeared).

Why are chestnuts associated with Christmas?

Because roasted chestnuts keep you warm on a cold winter's day, and maybe because of this they've become sort of associated as a winter/Christmassy-type snack?
I honestly have no idea, and wikipedia doesn't know either :( ;D

There is a page, it just doesn't explain why they're associated with Christmas. Nor does the page on Nat King Cole's 'The Christmas Song' which indeed begins with the line "Chestnuts roasting on an open fire...". Very odd

Me and my mam usually go to my nan's for Christmas dinner (All the family goes), but my nan's actually going away this year so it looks like it'll be a nice quiet Christmas in for us :)

We've had it pretty much non-stop since Sunday night/Monday morning. It's ranged from very heavy (Flakes the size of ping-pong balls) to very light, to sleet and slush. Apparently there's more on the way tonight. Joyful

Yeah, they do the Christmas specials now don't they?
I'm sure I read somewhere they're thinking of bringing it back permamently

Good choices - the only one of those i'm not keen on is Ash. The Kaiser Chiefs latest offerings have been poor tbh, and I can't see them being able to equal the standard they produced on their debut album. Feeder are hit and miss with me, though they have some immense songs (Buck Rogers, High, Just A Day to name but a few), but it all depends what mood i'm in. So I guess i'd have to say the Manics. Love their Greatest Hits to bits, still listen to it to this day.
