Woah that's expensive stuff man. Cheapest bottle is still 17 pounds and I assume you also gotta pay for the shipping costs. You can get a good bottle of whiskey for that price here =/

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.

Oh, so that's what it's about. I wish you'd warn me next time.

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

So you make like a hard lemonade type drink in the end? Interesting.
I guess it's one of those things to try when England.

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.

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.

Oh and I'll wait for Haggard to get back for Whiplash *more thrashing*

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. "

Also, is it me or is NG slow as shit today?

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.

Very true, but tbh even with diminished activity from regulars I'm sure NG is going nowhere as I imagine casual passers-by would acount for the majority of traffic and thus revenue.

Awesome. Glad you had a good time

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.

Yeah, I was going to wait until I had four works but then the Art Reviews became semi-visible and changed all that.

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.
