The boy formerly known as Evil Muzz

That castle looks great! Very realistic. Fantastic work! And I'm loving those cannons! And I bet the new region will be even more brilliant, but that will be hard...!

If you are in 5th year like me, you are a Prefect, but if you are in 6th year, you are a Senior Prefect, which basically means you help co-ordinate the prefects, and tell each one which duty to go on. But I don't know how it works at other schools. quote> Okay, so we are talking about high school students. Can you define the word "playground" as you are using it here? Is it one of those words that means different things in UK English and US English? (I know there are a lot of words like that. For instance, "corn" in UK English means "wheat" in US English.) Our high schools here don't have "playgrounds". They may have various kinds of ball fields, track facilities, and a gymnasium which are watched over by the coaches but playgrounds are only at the elementary schools. Hmmm, strange that no one has heard of them. I was sure this was something they did everywhere... So what do they do where you are? Do they have monitors? Or are children just allowed to run amok in the playground with no order? I know that they have "Hall Monitors" in the US, seen enough American TV shows to know that! I suppose that's the closest thing America has (or anywhere else that has Hall Monitors, I apologise), if they basically stop kids from messing around and tell them to walk not run etc. quote> I asked a high school student here today this question. The local school has one police officer stationed at the school, who gets involved as needed. She was described as "cool" so I'm guessing she has a good relationship with the student body in general. There are no human hall monitors but the hallways are monitored by camera. The teachers take turns watching the cafeteria. As mentioned earlier, the ball fields/track/gym has the coaches of whatever sport is involved. There is a program called "peer mentoring" where the freshmen (that's 9th grade, usually about 14-15 years old) are assigned a junior or senior (11th or 12th grade, usually about 16-18 years old) to show them the ropes. Sophomores (10th grade, usually about 15-16 years old) are on their own. Oh, and I was told that no one in the school would ever consider wearing a blazer, much less one with green lace and I was asked to find out "what's up with that?"quote> Ah I see, that clears soem stuff up. Thanks. Well, at my school we have a large bit at the front which is referred to as the "playground" but as you can imagine, with teenagers there, not much playing goes on! Then we have a courtyard in the middle of the building, with benches and tables and giant chess and stuff, and that needs a bit more supervision because kids like to hit each other with the chess pieces. Then we have the Social Space which is a large room inside the building with doors onto the courtyard. There are lockers in the social space, as well as the 6th year common room. There's also a sound system so there is always music playing in there. Hope that makes sense. At my school we have "buddies", who are 6th years and they get asigned to a class of first years (there are usually five classes in each year). Usually two 6th years to a class and they help out the first years for the first few months at the school. LOL. It sounds very weird and perhaps "fruity" I know. It doesn't look that bad though, I'll try and get a picture of me in mine, then you can decide for yourself!

I'm afraid I have to agree with Xiziz, and I too am going to resign. It was good while it lasted, but it had the same problem as SimWings, hardly anything ever got released. And, I feel that we have become annoying in the eyes of the public, in that there have been many mistakes and disagreements involving claiming members to be in the group when they really haven't... I don't want to be a affiliated with a group like that I'm afraid. Daryl, you have tremendous potential with BATting and Modding, so don't give up. I'm not going to give up, I'll probably just go solo now... I hope you can salvage what is left Daryl, best of luck.

I feel a few were missed out on that list. Of course, you don't need to ask really, my favourite is Edinburgh Scotland. Why? It's not too big and it's not too small. There's a fantastic mix of old and new architecture. No skyscrapers to ruin the skyline (the city doesn't need towers when it has hills), a wonderful castle, possibly the best preserved in the UK, an exciting new modern waterfront development, lots of excellent parks to punctuate the built up areas, a great military tattoo that attracts tourists from around the the world (and I'm not just saying that, I went and I had a Canadian man on one side and a kiwi lady on my other!), IMO THE greatest street show and performers in Europe, if not the world (but it's not quite Rio de Janeiro standrards , well one of the greatest anyway), festivals for EVERYTHING (books, films, games, comedy acts, drama, journalists conferences etc....), the best walking and hill climbing opportunity in the UK only 40 minutes away by car and an excellent and easy to use transport system which is soon to be upgraded with trams... Well.... That's me done... I also like London, but not as much, but maybe it's because I don't know it as well. I've been to Nicosia. Very strange place... We were there and there were glass towers and bustling streets... but as we strayed off the beaten path and closer to the Turkish side of Cyprus, it got more worn downa and dilapidated. The streets were sand and gravel, there were Mosques everywhere that were run down, and then we got to a big wall with armed guards. On one side (our side) a big Greek flag, and on the other a Turkish flag. And then, we could see further behind that wall it got nice again, glass buildings etc... very weird. I've also been to Paris, which I liked very much. I liked the architecture and the history. But the Eiffel Tower gave me a headache afterwards...

The Last Samurai was actually a good film. I also enjoyed Mission Impossible 1 and 3, but 2 was stupid. He's done loads of great films when you think about it. Rain Man is a great film that depicts the troubles of living with someone who is (and being) Autistic. But I'd imagine that his axing was to do with all his demands...

Might be a prop problem... Not sure what you'd have to do, try playing with the lot in LE...? I'm not very smart when it comes to stuff like this!

I live very close to the A1 (about 300 yds... literally, I can hear the traffic now) and at this part it's a pretty pathetic road. It's only dual carriageway, but thats because rural East Lothian isn't high on the list of places with busiest traffic... The A1 is Britain's principle road, going all the way from Edinburgh to London. There aren't many motorways here, we have the M8 which is Edinburgh to Glasgow, and yes, that follows the A8. Then there's the M74, which is Glasgow to Carlsile (or possibly only the English border, I'm not sure). Then the M90, Perth to Edinburgh. Then the M9, Edinburgh to Dunblane... And that's about it... Lol, hope you are enlightened by this edition of "Motorways of Scotland..."

Great work so far! Looks fantastic!

Well, today is the day that pupils in Scotland get their exam results. And I know that England and Wales get theirs soon. And I'm sure other countries will get theirs soon or have already got them. So my question is how did you do in your exams? Well, I got mine about an hour ago... and... well... I'm very, VERY pleased with my results. We'll just say that... !

WELL! What a start, Jeb! I'm amazed by the quality of your work! I knew you had something cooking but never something THIS good! I genuinely can't wait to see more of the city. Excellent! Well done!

Hey, this is great of you first off to do requests like this. You must really like BATting! Second, I have a request, but it's not just for me, because I think it's a cool generic stadium that can be used by anyone. Howabout Murrayfield, home of the Scotland Rugby team? If you decide to do it and need more pictures don't hesitate to ask, or Google it.
