I hope I can get the next letter in the Metal-ABC done until this week end.

Heh, I have another review half-done but with the blackout today, it's not so easy to do some research.

Yeah, wikipedia is slow as hell today. Even de.wikipedia.org, even though they aren't blacking out anything. Also, if you hit Escape quickly enough (or just choose a different layout style in Opera) you can read the articles just fine. Poorly planned "black-out", really...

We only have Clock Day in August so yeah, more holidays needed in Summer.

But Clock Day isn't a bank holiday. Even though it should be.

Neither is Halloween but we celebrate it anyway.

We don't.

Uhh, I'd be careful with products over there. I'm always weary with a place like Singapore.

I don't think they have too many bootlegs over there. After all, they have very strict laws on nearly everything. Malaysia and Indonesia may have mostly bootlegs, though.

Even so, Singapore is one place I'd be careful with.

Even if there are bootlegs, it's not like I will get arrested as soon as I come back.

36000 saves. :P

Put the political wankery aside for a moment - Guns were an above average band, with some talented musicians and massive drug abusers. No question that they do deserve their place in the hall, IMO

Yeah, when they're one of the last remaining rock bands to even consider.

Timing doesn't matter - like with Maiden and Rush, the fact is that they will be there. We know that they're better bands than GnR, but they don't get recognition. Not that it's ever bothered Iron Maiden

You are missing out on a lot but not for much longer. The following season is also a great follow up. There are two episodes that are a miss in season 5 while the sixth one is just the odd episode that was below average. Everything else is all and well.

I'll make sure that I sit down in March, to watch the movies again and make sure that I'm up to speed :P

I am tempted to do another marathon but I still have seasons 3 and 4 of Monty Python's Flying Circus to watch through and I got that for Christmas 2010.

I know the feeling - I've got about 20-30 hours of stuff to watch through on the V Box and the new Tivo box keeps recording new stuff for me. Joy.

25,000 Medal points!

Tomorrow I'll be in Manchester. Can't wait for it, even though so many of you will be missing out.

Or just use the cache option via Google. Good thing they didn't black out.

We don't.

Not even doing a few small things for kicks?

It's not that, I'd rather have the genuine products and find places that I can trust.

I blame Fox or whoever involved now.

It's the way the seasons are done over there. From 2010-2013, they'll play 13 new episodes for each year so that to them is different seasons. That didn't stop them from making the season DVDs the way they were meant to be. Either way, I wouldn't have been able to hold myself so I got season 5 there and then.

Maiden are usually happy with themselves and would take this for granted if it ever happened. Whoever runs the hall of fame still needs to be questioned, though.

Google cache is lame. Why did they hide it in the lame preview section? It took me quite a while to figure out where that link has gone...
Also, Operas style sheets > Google cache.

We don't.

Some kids go around trying to gather some sweets, but they are a minority.

Some bootlegs can be worth it. Also, I don't think that the artists will mind too much if I own a bootleg or two.
Also, Singapore can't be as bad as Poland. In %u015Awinouj%u015Bcie there's a huge market and they have bootlegs of nearly everything, even clothes. Some of this stuff is so bad, they can't even get the brand names right... (really? This is a jeans from 'Lives'? And here I was thinking it's called 'Levis'...)

Meh, I wouldn't go that far. I need some karaoke, to sooth my woes. Being able to hit the high notes on GnR would suitably piss you ff as well :P

Damn you BBS and you lack of supporting foreign characters.

Does 50 review responses count? I also got 22,222 saves.

50,000 Medal Points!

Been a while since I last had a medals related achievement. I just discovered that fortunacus has a shitload of easy medals attached to some of his latest games, so I decided I might as well get working on reaching 50k.

7,000 medal points!

4,000 blams, 5 months before I was expecting to get it.

Also, rank 222 in B/P.. But I don't think that's very significant.

Today. I became a Police Lieutenant rank for my Blam/Protection thing.

Side note: Nearly at 33,000 medal points as well.

You have 22,220 Experience Points!

i was going to post when i had 22k, but that just looks better :D...

I took on With a Little Help From My Friends and Always Look on the Bright Side of Life. I had a third song requested but we all left before I even had that chance. Ah well, there's always the next meet for another night of karaoke fun.

Luis was not happy with how long we had to sway for Always look on the bright side of life. It did drag on a little.
