What a nice number. Not as nice as 100,000, but I'm on the final straight!

You're on the final run now. Free drink to you at Manchester if you reach 100k B/P by then.

You can stop beating me to rank achievements by a day or so now. :3 Hopefully if I keep up my early-week average of 44 or so (as opposed to my late week average of 20ish) I'll be able to catch up, however I have a day out of the house today and no internet capable phone on me at the moment, making gaining many points today pretty much out of the question.

I even had the corny line ready - when she asked me "single or double", I'd say "Well, I'm single, how about you?" Either it breaks the ice or breaks my face.

I'm not sure about this. Although hipsters seem to have more of an impact on the internet and such, when walking around the streets I seem to find emos far more common, although a few of the people I know whom used to call themselves 'emo' have been slowly swinging over towards the 'hipster' subculture instead.

By the way, if quadruples still count (I'm wary as my two recent ranks haven't been acknowledged), then this is my 5,555th post on the website. It is far more than I expected to have a week or so ago, but on a few days I've made quite a few, and I'm glad as this hasn't come by through spam posting or such, and very few of them are less than a few lines long recently.

Now, to do that final dozen icons in my current batch. :3

There are other sites where you can watch highlights. And if everything else fails, there's also the official site where they show highlights for free. ^^

I believe here the official highlights site belongs to a channel you have to pay for, so I don't even have access to them. But oh well, the highlights are always broadcasted on Sunday at 19:00 which is a time I can usually watch them anyway. And if not, well too bad. I don't mind missing them every now and again. It's not like the matches are always that interesting anyway.

Well we don't care much about the subs.

But the subs are part of the team as well!

No! They're just as useful as the supporters until they step into the field!

Well congrats. That is a pretty awesome achievement and I know you didn't reach it spamming your way up.

To be fair, I've had myself backed up with B/P update posts but at least I help with people in the process. Also to add, pretty much all of my first 10,000 posts are crap but everyone is surely guilty of the same.

I've always cared too much about not spamming, so I think even my first batch of posts weren't all that crappy. Although I can't really remember them that well.... I'm sure my English was pretty bad back then though (relatively speaking).

And well.. those B/P update posts probably had more effort put into them than the majority of other posts on the forum so it's alright.

Oh that's a musical review right? I haven't checked it out yet.

Two hours is just too long in my opinion. Not sure if I really feel like sitting through that, unless I'm really bored.

Two hours is the Suburban Knight TGWTG special. The Moulin Rouge review is 45 minutes long. It's ridiculous considering how much could have been cut out to go straight to the point.

Well I've sat through Spoony's one-and-a-half hour's Twilight Breaking Dawn review, so I suppose I can handle a 45 minutes long review as well. As long as I just do it in multiple sits. Although the topic sounds a bit boring, I never cared much for musicals.

Yeah, but if the multiplayer is very addicting then it can also really drain your time.

Heh, I don't even play that much multiplayer these days. Even TF2 went out the window for me.

Oh I had quit playing TF2 from the summer holidays until about December (making an exception for Halloween), but I recently started playing again. I suppose that soon I'll get tired of it again though.

Perhaps the level lies a bit higher in the Bundesliga, but I think both are actually pretty interesting in comparison to the Primera Division and Premier League. I mean, at least there are not only two teams figthing for the title year in, year out.

The review itself looks alright though, but I don't know if they really had to go through the whole film that way. I mean, he basically gave his overall opinion in the first couple of minutes already. I don't see any need for breaking the film down piece by piece.

Also, I'm not going to watch it in to the end because I might want to see the film someday and don't want to have it spoiled.

If only this was some 10 minute review but no, they had to stretch it out as much as they could. They may as well have riffed on the movie. That actually sounds like a better idea and I honestly wouldn't mind Doug having some company with others.

Hmm, I've decided that I'll stick to Friday and Saturday. Maybe a bit of Sunday if anyone's still around. I'll leave Thursday be so I'm on the safe side. Just incase I get a job interview for anything. At least with Friday the weekend starts so I can make my way from home at 2 or so.

Hmm, I've decided that I'll stick to Friday and Saturday. Maybe a bit of Sunday if anyone's still around. I'll leave Thursday be so I'm on the safe side. Just incase I get a job interview for anything. At least with Friday the weekend starts so I can make my way from home at 2 or so.

Well, my circumstances show me that it's not looking all that good for my attendance in Manchester at the moment, which isn't fair :(

And I'm more in touch with them? Goddammit, I should stop paying attention to stupid trends.

Yes, you should.

I try to keep away from them but they always get to me.

Act like Zoidberg - let life just pass you by.

Or to show up at Manchester. Too bad she can't.

There's always next time. Nil desperandum.

An unofficial London meet? Even if Luis won't be there, that doesn't mean we can't arrange something oursleves. :)

During the Olympics? Get real.
