Well that was a depressing morning. For a brief period last summer, I'd begun to get used to England not collapsing. It feels like they're going back to the bad old days

We're still better than the Aussies, but we've got to work at it, to make sure we retain the ashes, when they come around.

Much as I'd like England to hang on to their #1 ranking for a long time, I would happily trade it for another Ashes win. Particularly if Ponting is still playing at that point.

It didn't help that Jonathan had the Trotts.

Ha, true. Perhaps he misunderstood when Andy Flower told him to 'go out there and get the runs'...

There were about three flakes in London today but nothing settled. Fingers crossed that's it for the year.

20000 XP, man.

It doesn't feel so meaningless when I post about it in this thread.

6000 saves!
That actually came surprisingly fast for me.

Coop takes a well earned day off, to congratulate:

Nope for me.

It's really bad everywhere if we get snow. I'm flanked by three sets of hills, which tends to catch it, plus the Severn Valley tends to help, or so Geography teachers have taught me.

I'll tell you what blows, losing DvDs, I need to rebuy series 4 of the Simpsons (my favourite), because I have lost disc 4. In fact, losing a DvD and a DvD being scratched is pretty much the same, you will still need to rebuy...

It's worse if you lose them, buy new ones, then find the original ones.

Yeah, that does suck. You should take more care of your DVDs.

Or maybe I have. Perhaps I had a slight accident which resulted in the scratches. The DVDs are never taken out of their places unless I am willing to watch them and I know for a fact that my dad has never even touched the Futurama DVDs. Infact, he probably doesn't even know they're hiding behind my Bender and Zoidberg plushes.

It's quite amusing that when I go over to one friend's, I always seem to rearrange his DVD collection back into their proper boxes.

I'll soon be back to unemployment. My job will last no later than Wednesday so I made the most of it today.

Well, considering at the meet, it was only going to last until last Tuesday, you're doing well at stringing it out...

It's definitely ending tomorrow. Now they just want us to check over forms to pass the time.

Well, at least you've managed to get some work for this long. Hope that you get something new in the short-term

Exactly! It shows how it's meant to be done. :P

Learn from your mistakes - some girls are just not worthy of me. To my knowledge, that's better than any man, because no man is worthy of me.

Not even I'm worthy of you?

Do I really need to discuss or justify this?

At least you're planning ahead.

Better safe than sorry. I'm not on the Dracobiology course, so I'll pass thanks.

Well, be sure to watch the action.

You make it sound so enticing, yet I feel that I should be taking cover...

See comments regarding other men, above. You may not be human, but you're still male :P

I'm not going to complain about the fact that I have a penis.

Wise words.

Yeah, but it's less satisfying to beat him now that he's no longer captain, because he lost the ashes to us three times, as skipper.

It didn't help that Jonathan had the Trotts.

Ha, true. Perhaps he misunderstood when Andy Flower told him to 'go out there and get the runs'...

Oh god.

I'm now halfway down all the levels. Feels nice to have gotten at least half the levels a few days before the redisign.

And that concludes my second job. Time for me to go back to the bastards at the job centre. Well, whatever time my appointment will be.

I keep my DVDs and blu-rays nicely organised. Well, that's because I don't have hundreds of them. My games are all over the place and I still need to put my latest CDs since Christmas along with the rest of what I have. The only problem is I'm out of space for CDs on my shelves.

Maybe so but he doesn't need to be a firefighter. I'd rather see him burning shit to the ground.

So does his father.

Now his father I do like. Wait, I said that ages ago already, didn't I?

I guess so. I wonder, however, what happened to his mother. I think you never see her on the show.

Yeah, I'm still weary about them. Everyone wouldn't be running around like crazy over it if it's supposedly not so bad.

The thing is, you hear stuff from politicians about how to control the internet where you just know that they don't know what the fuck they are talking about. For example, there was the discussion of a "delete button for images you upload to the internet", and if you just think about the "solution" someone came up with, you'd realize that it is complete bullshit. But those politicians think they've done something wonderful for humanity.

If you're someone with some notability, you're shit out of luck. That's why I can't argue if anyone posts my picture around the internet.

Well, you still have the right at your own image. But you just have to be careful what you post where on the internet. And the "solution" of that "delete button" was just half-assed.

Lol @ that angry guest in the comments.

I did look up results for the album and my review actually shows up on the first page or two. Probably not a good sign for the band. Then again, musicians should expect criticism.

Yeah, plus even bad publicity is publicity. One of the reasons many bands didn't say a thing when they where accused of placing "subliminal messages" in their songs: It was publicity for the band! I heard a nice report about stuff like that lately. They said: When the rumors about the death of Paul McCartney came up, the Beatles kept quiet, because all of a sudden people bought their old albums again, looking for "hidden messages".

I just listened to the first half minute of "The Armageddon Machine". The singer sounds a bit better this time, but the music seems to be fucked up. It sounds very unrhythmic to me.

I googled that song name and came up with stuff about Commander Keen.

Nice. Speaking of Commander Keen: I think I never beat "Keen Dreams". Boy, that game was hard!

Recently I was playing Uncharted 3 on the PS3 where you need to press R3 on the controller to change the view. I kept pressing it but nothing happened so I assumed that my controller was beginning to stop working and went to buy a new one. £40 later, I got home, started playing again, and only at that point checked the in game menu to discover that the game default was that the R3 button was disabled...Turns out my old controller worked fine.
I was not happy!

You passed 20,000 B/P! Congrats!

I finally reached this rank I was waiting for ever since I started B/Ping. I just reached 30,000 B/P points, making me a Supreme Commander! Yaay!
