Coop runs into squeaky bum time, as the teams below catch up to both of his Saturday cricket teams. 3 games left. Congratulations to:
Pokemonpoeguygcn: 15,000 Experience
DiMono: 35,000 Total Points

See, this is the problem with paying far too much attention to the weather yesterday morning and when getting home after the game gets called off, being distracted by The Dirty Dozen...

Well, they're no Iron Maiden, that's for sure.

That's because you live elsewhere. That's fine, I'm counting down to either the whole country crashing or the next election/ My money's on the country crashing.

I bet Greece crashes before the UK does.

Alright, Greece first and when that happens, THEN I can say it's only a matter of time for the UK.

I've not bought a whole lot of DVDs overseas. Then again, with the region lock bullshit, I wouldn't want to buy anything.

I rather buy DVDs in the UK. I don't have to worry about the region code that way.

We appreciate you using our services. :P

Nah, consoles will fall first.

It's hardly possible, since PC gaming is already dead. :P
Besides, consoles will always be easier to use for gaming than PCs, so they are much more convenient. And thus, they won't fall first.

Consoles are already making themselves awkward.

I assume he doesn't even care about this place anymore.

We should have something similar to a bat-signal to call him whenever... we feel like :P

You know, he hasn't spoken to me for at least two months now. He really is slipping away.

Not messy, just not enough interest. Luis said that he'll probably run another meet in January in London. Keyword being probably...

Hmm, if about 10 other people show up, it should be worth it. Smaller crowds aren't bad at all.

For the next meet, I expect at least 20 so hopefully it works out.

Never really is. The country is full of bastards.

Time to start your own business. Video-game reviewer, perhaps?

Making reviewing your career never goes down well.

Nope, not since the redesign and they STILL haven't fixed it. I'm hoping with the portal mod system out of the way, this is something they can focus on very shortly. It's been six months since the pound sterling symbol has been fucked on here as well.

Not a problem with that. You seem to be doing a lot with cricket lately so of course it's taking top priority right now.

900 game medals.

Not a fat lot to report today, but I did manage to blow past 45,000 Medal Points

Perhaps I can find a few more and get after 50k, which is more of an achievement, to be honest.

Counting today's game, there are only 5 games left, across 3 weeks. It'll soon be end of season work time.

I think it's around this time where I've been a BBS mod for two years now. Only recently the portal mods got started...

Well, we'll have about 2 tons of loam delivered, plus fertiliser and grass seed. We prep the square for the winter (1 week / weekend) and leave it to fester. During that time, I'll spend my time arguing the toss with the committee over matters of the changing rooms being buggered, for one reason or another.

37,000 B/P points.

Before I was Sup. Commander it felt like it took ages to get 7,000 B/P points because I checked to see how many B/P points I had so often. Now that I've gotten it I never check my points and it feels like I've gotten 7,000 points in a fairly short amount of time.
