Me too. :) Those gifs were made forever ago by Denvish back when there were for animated sigs and when the B/P icons were much cooler.

I wouldn't necessarily say that the older ones were much cooler, it's just that no-one has bothered to animate them.

4 more days left for the Coop! Not good, considering I might have to walk through the snow to work for them!

How long will the walks be? I was out in the freezing cold for at least half an hour last night.

Half an hour? Pfft. I walked into town (35 minutes each way) and back, then I went to my girlfriend's, which is about 6 miles away. That took me over an hour and then she decided to walk us along the canal tow path, in the fading light. I'm looking at a sum total of 3.5 hours in the cold. That made the cup of tea and the warm shower much more rewarding after.

You asked for it. EARRAPE WARNING!

I see. Sadly, I don't hear any more.

Good idea. I managed to listen to it all. Don't ask how I managed that.

I never liked it much either, until I recently just started drinking it. I usually take my coffee mixed with a bit of chocolate milk and cream though, so that it won't have such an awful aftertaste.

My girlfriend did me a cup of green and black blended tea yesterday, which had 2 sugars in it - the aftertaste was almost liquorice. Awesome!

Yeah, one can say she's the new ZeroAsALimit. Her PPD is just below 20 which is extremely high for today's standards. I remember when my PPD was 25, now it's 10.3.

The fact that they foreshadowed Duke Nukem is totally awesome!

I have no choice but to order stuff online since the high street shops won't ever have them in stock. However, the one CD I'm still missing for my dad can be obtained from HMV.

The latest Pentalist update reminds me that I've passed 125,000 total points! Next milestone for total points is 130k but considering my rate, that won't be until around 9 months time. I'm looking at next September here!

If I don't miss a deposit between now and then I am guessing I will be sporting that 39 chainsaw by then good luck with that. Next milestone passed 16,000. However with all the saves up for grabs these days this is Not really a big deal >_<

13.50 total voting power.

Man it goes slow after you hit 12.00. Its like walking a marathon, takes for ever.
And please dont tell me I have to wait till I hit 14 until it matters, thats 6 months away goddammit.

PS: For Coop. 1/1 Australia vs England. Getting exciting now. I have some serious money on us, (England that is, I am English originally), to retain the Ashes, middle order need to fire and the tail needs to wag more. Do you get live broadcasts? Now dont be jealous, but, I went to the Adelaide test match, it was awesome.

Mine used to be around 5.50, but then I left general and it dropped to 2.25 or so. Now I got it back to 3.54 and I've averaged about 7 posts per day this year :)

Indeed, still working on it. Movin on up in all categories slowly but surely ;)

Four years? That's a long time. You would expect that things like that would happen in the first year or so, when you don't each other that well yet. After four years you would think that you can count on each other to be loyal.

You'd think so. Don't understand it to this day really.

I can imagine that's fucked up. Especially if it had been four years.

Yeah dude, lol, it is fucked up. That was years ago and I still think about it sometimes. I wouldn't worry about it though, lol, you're probably good - but that's what happened to me when we moved in.

I prefer the official Portal over the flash version.

Never played the official Portal and I doubt I ever will. I just suck at FPS, so I stay away from them.

That's what I mean. Get this sorted during the Wi/Ht? revolution and we can have a long rest.

How about the Sydney based online bookie that paid out on England retaining the ashes. Don't let him down, boys!

middle order need to fire and the tail needs to wag more. Do you get live broadcasts?

We were caught out by the pitch, so expect us to bounce back at the MCG. We can still do this and we only need one more win, starting with Boxing day, when we snub that Aussie momentum out!

Live broadcasts via Sky are available, plus my2p2 helps those of us that don't like paying for Sky :P I just watch the highlights of an evening, as it's on far too late for me. (or is that early?)

Now dont be jealous, but, I went to the Adelaide test match, it was awesome.

I'm sure it was. I've never been to a top class cricket match. Too busy playing on most days, so it'll have to wait a few summers yet :P

Indeed. Even if I included number of medals, it wouldn't make much of a difference, unless I made a huge push with it. Still, I think the most amount of medals there are right now is 3,500. We're past the 1/3 way point which is so far so good. I was thinking of including medals in the new year. However, I'll have to wait until byteslinger's new update of the stat pulling software.

Ah HMV, is there anything you don't have. Every time I go in there, I end up buying the whole shop. Not that last time I went in though, I only got 2 DVD.

I guess my interests are too obscure for them. Anyway, the CD for my dad arrived through the post today so that's that over with. I just need to wrap up presents for my sister and I'll be set for Christmas. :)

It's too bad that it had to end that way. If it was simply not gonna work out because of certain differences you had than it might have been easier to accept, but cheating...? That'd made me think as well, and even worse, make me doubt myself.

I wouldn't worry about it though, lol, you're probably good - but that's what happened to me when we moved in.

Yeah well, I've also gotten warnings from some friends and other people I know that it might turn out for the worst and that we should make some rules for each other about certain things and blablabla.

I'm not planning to worry about such things, because I don't think there's much use in that. I also try not to make too big of a deal out of the whole 'living together with my gf' thing. I think we're both like: We'll just see what happens.

I'm still not sure if I like this idea. It would probably help me to climb in the ranks, but ... I don't know. I just got a feeling that the addition of medals will eventually start to wreck the pentalist. I mean, medals are already almost easier to rack up than saves...
