Levels 1-9 are not mentioned on the lists when people make them since they are the easiest levels anyone could get. Levels 10-60 however are mentioned so when you get to level 10 then you will see your name on a list.

You passed 40000 Total Points. Bodacious!

A dragon's vagina?

With the type of women around where I live? They don't so much as come on to you as just hike up their skirts and show off the merchandise.

Everyone knows that certain types of dragons can shape-change.

But in answer to your question, something far better :D

Oh god.

Enjoy running around naked while blowing shit up on the internet.

Too cold out. Postponed until Summer.

Too little conversation going on again. Anyone got any plans for Xmas yet? Have you started or even finished (!) your Xmas shopping? What are you hoping to get?

Will be seeing Cathedral tomorrow. I suppose some assistance for depositing will help me then.

I only watched it for Brentalfloss, it wasn't a good reason to watch, his songs weren't his best as well.

One part of his was what killed it all for me. I'm not saying it wasn't his fault since if there's anyone who wanted to throw in the lame ass joke about pointing out the penis in The Little Mermaid cover, it's either Rob or Doug.

So there's no dragons around there.

Fair enough.

Just the usual. As for presents, I've cooked up a list so anyone can look at it and see what I want as opposed to unwanted crap. :P

13.37 total voting power. :D

Apologies for the doublepost, however the last one was a few hours ago, and I have a stat upgrade to post: I have just reached 2000 saves. Not too impressive considering how easy saves are to achieve, but considering about 250 have been gained in the past fortnight I'd say that it isn't to bad, especially considering I've maintained a pretty decent ratio at the same time, albeit not in the last week (so many blams being turned down D:).

Holy cow!
Group B: Netherlands, Denmark, Germany, Portugal. What a group! With the exception of maybe Denmark every team can win this one. Should be very interesting.

Group D: Ukraine, Sweden, France, England. Sounds relatively easy, but we all know how England performed in a group the tabloids called "EASY" in the 2010 WC...

I think they don't even play it live anymore.

Why when they can play Burnt Offerings or even Dante's Inferno?

Exactly. They have so many amazing songs, they can easily ditch songs from live shows that don't turn out to be that great.

And that depends on how notable all those bands are.

Well, there are a shitload of bands called "Nihilist" or some variations of that. "Nightwolfe" seems to be a common name as well.

lol. Will the band's pick be one of them?

It starts with "Ni-", but it doesn't end with "-hilist" or "-ghtwolfe".

Once again. lucky. :P

Maybe you just had bad luck?

I've had bad luck with Firefox as well. At least Chrome is stable... for now.

Maybe you should work in quality inspection for browsers. You seem to run into a lot of trouble. ^^

Actually, we can scrap the little meet up now. I was called up just yesterday about doing a work trial which is expected to continue beyond that. It starts on Tuesday so that's definitely the Wednesday meet up not going to plan after all.

Fuck. My brother was okay with traveling to Liverpool.
Do you happen to know any nice pubs in Manchester that sell a good breakfast?

I'm afraid I don't know too much about Manchester. Only some shops and venues.

Ah well, maybe we can find one ourselves.

I have presents for my wife, my mom and I plan to buy something in Manchester for my brother. That leaves me with no presents for my niece and nephew, so I will have to get something for them, still.
My brother buys the present for my father, so I don't have to worry about that. ^^

I took the time to deposit today and hit level 27

Maybe I should do this more often...

Three weeks ago, I had 3,450 reviews. Over the past 22 days, I've managed to up that to 3,500 Total Reviews

Overall, it's been a poor year for my review totals, but I'm sure hoping to finish the year strong. Maybe this means that 2012 will have huge totals in this respect for me, who knows?

You passed 64,000 B/P! Congrats!

You reached level 42!

You passed 53000 B/P! Congrats!

Passed 53,000 B/P

You passed 40000 Total Points. Bodacious!

I wouldn't like to swear to it, but most animals must have similar looking vaginas.

But in answer to your question, something far better :D

And what is that?

Wouldn't you like to know?

Gosh, I'm such a tease.

I'm going to regret this.

I'm playing Lord of the Rings Online and I was getting to the Misty Mountains with Peretil, my Hobbit Hunter. I have some missions for Gloin to fulfil.

I absolutely love Tolkien, for his writing style, imagination and most of all his devotion to making his world as believable and deep as possible. Going so far as to create distinct scripts and languages for the races whom inhabit it is just incredible, even if the creation of fictional language/glossopoeia was one of his personal hobbies even without his book world.

Yeah, I love his work, but some of the sad people that attend his grave every anniversary of his birth and death, to read Elvish poetry need their heads examined.

Group A is easy, with Poland, Russia, Czech Republic and Greece will mean that all nations are pretty evenly matched, with the exception of Russia.

Buy him a Man Utd top :P

Just some silly food for thought, and since we're not allowed stat threads, I'll just leave this here:

Dear B/P whores,

Rankings are generally judged by the smallest number being the best.

0 is a smaller number than 1.

People with no B/P at all have their rank listed as 0.

Ergo, by gaining any B/P, you have forever put yourself below the vast majority of the userbase as far as B/P ranks are concerned. And no amount of B/P gaining can ever change that. So where's "moving up the list" now?

( lol XD )

I just passed 80,000 BP!

Reached Level 9

Total voting power of 9 :)

If I get a chance, I might poke my head around the door later for a chat.

A chat you say? We really should have a Wi/Ht? chat some time. I finally figured out the whole G+ thing; maybe we could do that sometime.

This place would be pretty quiet if people only posted Level-ups and Rank-ups, particularly for the more experienced users who would have months between posts. See it more as a way of noting particular milestones. My general rule of thumb is anything that you receive a congratulations for in NGLogs.

Total VP = 10

After passing Shrapnel in EXP, I have now entered the top 125 for EXP. Now I'm eyeing up on the top 100 more and more, even if it'll be ages until I'm even there.

Rank up: Colonel!

Nah, I'm not a fan of that, to be honest.

Anyway, I was at a sale event (discount goods, like a massive indoor market) yesterday, running the door. We expected 3,000-5000 people in through the doors and we ended up with about 200, so that was a roaring success. The mood in the office today is surprisingly upbeat...

On top of that, when I got home, I found out that my uncle had passed away the night before after losing his battle with stomach cancer. My emotional state can be described as "fragile" and here we go again with getting the black tie and white shirt out around Xmas. Not fun, especially when we might be having the wake at my local cricket club, where we had a great presentation evening, just over a week ago...

Ho hum.
