One problem is it still smells horrible on the outskirts of London compared to Devon.

How does that affect bb gun fights??

Outskirts of most big cities do for obvious reasons but then you have the smell of muck spreading in the country and all that insest.

Dude, I be fuckin' up hard. YES. The Tick's easily a top 3 cartoon. Best comedic style

I think both the maxx and aeon flux were kind of cool too (?) but not on tv over here, so never really got that into them.
Was all about weird vhs tapes with strange 80's anime.

Muck spreading only happens a little bit in some places. I really can't stand the smell of big cities though. London is fucking awful. Everytime I come home from a trip up there I have a two mile walk through fields back to my house and it's the nicest thing. Also you get so fucking dirty in London all the time too.

Gonna take a while to adjust when I move up there next month

Anywhere where someone could get shot...
Abandoned buildings
Streets
Building sites

and parks would be identical to doing it in the countryside.

Hmmm not convinced.

I mean you could you could go to a mate's house and have literally miles of fields around it before you met anyone else.

Yeah, we have very, very large parks and open spaces here, even woodland. I think you're thinking of post-apocalyptic Neo-Tokyo a la Akira.

This lol. There are parks in Birmingham that people get lost in they're that big. Not as big as some of the london parks, but still hench.

In fact, just read this on wiki:

Sutton Park, in Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham, England, is the largest urban park in Europe and the largest outside a capital city; it is larger than Richmond Park in London.

There was also this. 1000 acres is more than big enough to have a bb gun fight in.

Son, if you sense of smell is that strong then I advise you never go to Bangkok.

Knock down ginger or getting a list of 0800 numbers and ringing people up from a pay phone used to be another thing we did.
God knows why but ti was funny as fuck winding some people up.

Used to build dirt jumps for our bikes aswell. swear one summer we spent every day digging in the blazing sun..

edit: Bangkoks not so bad.
"Oh this smells amazing!"
take a few steps forward then BIG inhale
"OH JESUS CHRIST it smells like rotting corpses"

It snowed one winter, and me and my mate wanted to go down "devil's drop" (some steep hench hill in a park near us), but we wanted to snowboard, so we smashed the trucks off an old skateboard with a hammer and nailed a pair of his reebok classics to the board and went down it at terrifying speed.

Let's see kids do that with their iphones and such.

[kidshuffle]

nailed shoes on it lol.

we used old skate decks all the time, but i wouldn't strap myself in to that in any way, shape or form.


prankcalls from payphones was always a fun time though.

Compared to "fucking awful" London though??

[hubb]

Me bored I-board ?

Yeah there's a lot of places that will obviously smell worse than London. It's still just a constant stale dirt in London though. The air is never clear. You can smell the difference just walking into a park and being able to smell plants for once, but it's still crap compared to out here.

Yeah ok. But that would mean living in Birmingham.

My parents live up near Milton Keynes/Aylesbury and the whole countryside smells like shit round there

Also a lot of the cities i've been to round Europe you sometimes get the random smell of sewage when you're walking round, at least ive never noticed that in London..

Super Mario World

Could complete that in ~20mins.

All levels including star world?

All 96? Obviously not.

But in terms of starting on Yoshi's Island to beating final boss Bowser, ~20mins.
