Hold it fellas. Stop, stop stop. You're going around in circles here. Haggard, you should have said "her we go" and then we thrash.

I tried to do a rough live version without any fancy things like "here we go". :P

Sorry, when I was trying out for Shadow of Intent, I had to give the mic over to the Texas Ranger and let him do the band introductions. (Dr. Sticks; Mr. Burton; Dirty Rancher, Texas Ranger and [vocalist])

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.

Water it down? That just doesn't feel right :p

Poor use of the English Language there, Coop. Try mix it up, instead.

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.

£13 sounds more affordable, but still more expensive than most booze around here.

Anyway I'll be going to Londen this summer, so I'll look out for it :)

Excellent. The Pimm's Revolution has begun!

Yeah, I've promised to buy Luis a pitcher of Pimms when he's in London for the summer meetup. Everybody needs to try some when they get a chance, it's a great drink.

Will do if I'm ever in the region. I doubt they would have it here in the US.

If Little England takes off in New Hampshire, then it will ;)

It's funny how my stages on the site never fail me.

Stage 1 - Posts

I just want to post everyday. I'll post at least 3 times a day for a couple of weeks, but slowly I get tired of it and I want to do something else...

Stage 2 - Reviews

I got sick of posting and seeing the same topics over and over so I start reviewing. I'm getting rather close to this stage now.

Stage 3 - Gaming

I get sick of reviewing so I head over to the games. Here come the medals, B/P, and hours wasted on silly flash games.

Well I reckon that be they complex or simple, the cream usually rises to the top (although occasionally excellence is ignored, i.e. Psychonauts).

Still, you've got the lvl 38 axe, and the lvl 39 Chainsaw to look forward to. Even the next icon you'll be getting is leagues above your current Native American hatchet.

No, by water it down, I meant dilute it with a mixer, i.e. Lemonade in this case.

Anyway that sounds good to me. Pimms sounds like something you can mix with lots of stuff. Got any tips?

The best I've found is the traditional - 1 part Pimm's #1 Cup; 3 parts Lemonade; Ice, Mint, Strawberry, Orange, Cucumber. Though substituting the cucumber for Lime and having roughly 3 strawberries to 1 orange / lime slice makes a pretty good ratio.
