Sounds like good stuff to me. Is it exclusively sold in the UK or something? Cause I've never heard of it either.

Apparently so. However through the wonder of Interwebs, you can get this stuff (Number 1 Cup) and it's other bretheren (Number 3 is Brandy and Number 6 is Vodka based) online as well!

Gin isn't really my liquor of choice. I'm more into rum and vodka myself; you can do more with it than make cocktails or add tonic to it.

I think you misunderstand. Pimms starts off as Gin, but with all of the things that they add to the gin before bottling it, the substance marketed as Pimms is nothing like Gin at the end of the day :P This you need to mix in about 3 parts lemonade to 1 part Pimms, plus ice, and the trimmings to the jug and you're winning :D

I got to level 28 and a weighted voted power of 9.

You passed 34000 B/P! Congrats!

Eh, I haven't mentioned it. It's still a work-in-progress ... I just got tired nit picking for the past few months, so I uploaded it. It really all started when I made that Baha-man/Bahamut pic. I was thinking, if Bahamuts were around what would they be doing; a poker game sounded logical.

Well, I know one thing to do if I ever had at least one clone.

Not to mention I was also testing out the art review system for unscouted users: to see if someone reviews a piece, would it add to the review total.

Ah yes, a matter of curiosity. I was going to upload an artwork ages ago but I never got myself to post it. It's nothing much special and if I ever upload something to the Art Portal, I'd like to make it interesting at least.

Indeed, it's always good to see other references used. I actually have a few more ideas for the chainsaw and the hammer. :)

You wouldn't have any ideas for the Fluffy Axe?

The fluffy axe relates to tribes so...I actually don't know.

Yeah, staying at level 49 for a few years wouldn't be pleasant at all. It's bad enough having to be stuck with it for over 100 days. I'm not sure what I'd do, though if this was the case.

If I remember correctly, there are better deals out there, but when you water it down, one 70cl bottle will make three pitchers of traditional Pimm's, which is enough to serve 12, so you're not too bad there.

When I bought mine, it was about £11, but that was a special offer. You're looking for about £13-£15 for the better deal on the 70cl bottle.

Nice one - I managed to get sunburnt on one side from scoring at a cricket match yesterday. When I finally got in to bat, the damage was already done and we had a commanding score. We finished 237-7 and got our opponents out for 58. A win of 179 runs, which was awesome. Perhaps next time, I'll be in the real meat of the wickets.

I got a light sunburn on my trip. First I had in years... but on the other hand, I have a very pale skin and get sunburned very easily (about 20 minutes without any protection are enough to give me a nasty sun burn). So I guess it was just a question of time until I get burned again.
Or to say it with Woody Allen: "With my complexion I don't tan, I stroke. "

It's definitely a simple concept but the game is well programmed and knows how to make every character adapt to the Mario world. I still need to play more of it but from what I've seen, it's really good.
