Play games obviously! and here are just a few pros and cons of both


Army Pros

1. You get to say that you are a mamber of the army thus impressing the girls and making them 'want to make the most of you before you are called back to service' ;)

Solution without joining:
Lie we all do it and this is just a prime example.

2. You get in great shape through hard work and develop amazing stamina.

Solution:
Go to the gym more often.

3. You get to use serious fire arms and actually know what they are called.

Solution:
Play some first person shooters and then go to your local library.

4. You get the chance of real intense hand to hand combat.

Solution:
Get drunk at your local pub : a sure fire way to get some hand to hand combat.

5. You get to represent/defend your contry.

Solution:
Amuse yourself to forget this need by once again getting drunk then telling some unknown stranger about your ex girlfrien who left you because you drank to much.

O.k there are the pro army reasons now for the cons.

1. Getting your head shaved.

Solution:
Tell them that you have a great phobia of razors (after not shaving for a week just to prove it) then when they get it out you run off screaming.

2. Being called a moggot by your commanding officer.

Solution:
Keep up this image by calling him big bird and start eating your own flesh.

3. Army food

Solution:
Get you good old gran to bake you a few home made cakes.

4. Game deprivation

Solution:
Sneak a gameboy/gamecube into the dorm and play late at night.

5. Missing Friends

Solution:
Hey make new ones.

Ok so theres the army pros and cons now onto the games!

The pros

p.s there arent really any solutions for these

1. Alien weapons.

2. Driving when you are under 18.

3. You get to pretend you are sombody else (i.e someone big strong and wielding a massive gun)

4. You get to kill alot of people and pretend they are somebody you know.

5. You get to drive cars which you know you'll never own.

Now the cons:

1. The sheer cost of keeping up to date with the latest consoles and games.

2. You get beaten sometimes.

3. There are some really bad games out there.

4. Sega.

5. When you finish a game and get bored.


So there it is pros and cons for both, but i think and im sure many of you will agree that gaming is the safer option PLAY GAMES!

The answer has to be playing games of course! There's just no question about it! If I want great stamina, I'll go to the gym, I won't go to somewhere which may end up placing me in a gun battle against a country which I have no gripes with. To put it plainly, if I was in the army, I'd be a conscienscous objector. Also, I can find out stuff they'd never teach you in the army on "various websites" (I won't name them though). Who needs a library? And on the getting drunk front, it all sounds rather exciting! The army is how wanabee-hard boys most of the time, unless you're that one exception where you genuinely want to do service for your country, but I can't see that anytime soon...

Just kidding, mind.

The coolest ISP ever!
In my opinion, the ISP is the best I have ever used. They guarantee 'first time connection - everytime', which they have never let me down on.
Wonderful...
... and so easy-to-use even for a technophobe like me. I had my website up in a couple of hours. Thank you.
