I should at least try to get back to reviewing games/movies.

It sure is. The only problem is that the one place I can buy it from does have pricey postage so I need to think of a fair amount of albums to get from there to make the postage cost more efficient. At the end, it does average to Ã'£8 per CD.

I bet they only have so high postage costs to get their customers to buy more. :P

Well, it is secured postage so I can allow it, particularly when considering the size of the packages. Still, if the CDs work out as generally cheap over there, I can't complain.

Say "Me not speak English!" in German. That would amuse me a lot if I met you last year and you shouted that out.

"Ich nix sprechen Englisch!"

Now I'm amused. Now let's try that whenever you do make it to England again.

Now it's the kind of weather I can easily settle with. Nothing horrible, no rain but the temperature is just right.

Weather is still fucked up here. Very hot and sunny most of the time, but a very intense rainstorm during the evening.

Rained in the morning, hot in the evening. Fuck this!

Well, I better see if I can form a dragon cult somewhere here.

I think you have better chances with that in Scandinavia.

Yeah, those places seem a lot cooler than this dump.

I thought it was only the Youth Olympics? But if they really get to host the olympic games, we will have games with absolutely no media coverage at all.

The IOC wouldn't risk damaging the brand - official Olympic partners, such as Coca-Cola and McDonalds wouldn't be allowed to sponsor events, as local brands would need to take precedence.

Do they even HAVE brands in North Korea?

Yes - brands officially endorsed by the state.

So, kind of like how it was in the GDR.

I would assume so, only a little more harsh, from what I've heard.

Even more harsh? I can't imagine how this should be possible. As far as I know, there was only one brand for each product in the GDR, and commercials wheren't allowed.

I once read that people bought many many tooh brushes, when there where rumours that the only factory that produced them was about to be closed down.

And two Golds for team GB at last :) I think that we know who BBC Sports personality of the year 2012 will be now. Step forward, Bradley Wiggins.

Now it's 4 golds, that means Team GB is better than Team Germany in the medal table (even though I never understood why it's always sorted for gold medals and not total medals).

Gold medals are harder to earn than Silver or Bronze, obviously. Perhaps they should weight it, with 5 points for Gold, 3 for Silver and one for Bronze. Would that affect it?

Well, now team Germany has 5 golds, so at least we are in front of North Korea now. But South Korea has like 7 gold medals, it will be hard to beat them, I guess.

It'll even out - as we go, the teams with relatively few medals will clump together at the base of the table, while nations like the US, China, GB Germany, France, Australia and South Korea will make their moves toward the top.

I don't see any events coming up where team germany really has a chance to grab the gold medal. Silver for Lilli Schwarzkopf was a huge surprise in Heptathlon. I was hoping for a gold medal in discus, but the best german lady only ranked 5th. Now let's hope for hammer throw and men's discus throw...

Well, I will expect you to review the pieces that I'm submitting to the Lit Portal - Blammer, for a start.

Right, the cricket matches at the weekend were either a washout for the weather, or a washout for our performance. Yes, the first team won and continued a march toward promotion. Good for them. The second XI, whom I was scoring for managed to complete their innings of 219, before rain came and washed away a chance of us taking anything more from the game. 8 points to Cookley for that encounter.

Sunday was different, in that we got a full game in. Ranging to my left at Mid-on, to catch one of our Saturday 1st teamers was the highlight, personally on a sticky dog, which we probably shouldn't play on... A little later in the innings, I did cover a lot of ground on a lofted drive, to half dive, half stumble and get fingers to the ball, pushing it across the line for six. I was soaked and covered in mud.

We lost, but had a laugh, all the same.

I'm pretty sure that you're the only one who knew what it meant. I was kind of hoping that some of the guys that we were playing against would get some video of me diving around the field like a prat. But alas, they were too busy reading out their one batsman's facebook page to him, while he was in the middle.

LOL! Also why would you guys play on such a horrendously soggy ground?

Because we wanted to play. I'll admit, it was not easy on there (I only scored 6, but that was shockingly 12.5% of our runs...) It was worth it.

Close parallels, but I think that the North Koreans have been oppressed for longer and more harshly than East Germany was. They both existed before the partition of Germany and still exist today, while Germany was reunited in emotional scenes in the aftermath of November 9th, 1989.

I did 5 reviews today (flash). Only 20 more until I hit the 1000 review mark in flash as well.

Five? That's more than I've done since the start of the decade. :P

I'm... not so sure myself. I'll have to see what Luis says at the end of the month. I expect to hear something by then.

Well, I first have to finish my studies, then I have to find a job. Once I got my first paycheck, it should be enough for a short trip to London, though.

So not anytime soon then.

And we seem to have a sunny week. I dreamt last night that it was snowing in August. I'm sure it will happen eventually. :P

Snow in August? Yeah, if you are in the southern hemisphere, this should be quite comon. :P

Just watch as climate changes makes a nasty turn... eventually.

Scotland seems to keep itself away from our government. I don't blame them for that.

Yeah, this is what makes them so cool. :P

We don't associate non-England countries as Britain anyway.

If it's down, I always check /portal and /bbs, to see if it's true.

Those also work but checking userpage right away makes it easier to tell if anyone has commented on your latest post.

Depends how music evolved then. He was a key figure in rock n' roll so if he was born two decades later, music right now would probably be different... or just two decades behind of time. :P

I disagree - there are other figures in Rock & Roll than Elvis. Sure, The Beatles grew up listening to his music in the 50s, but there was not just his music that inspired.

I assure you, there is a parallel universe out there that had Elvis living in a later age.

What can I say? Given how difficult Blams are to come by these days, it seemed like an interesting accomplishment.

I've passed 63,000 Saves somewhere overnight!

Woooh!

36,000 B/P Points!

Coop prepares to disappear off the grid for a few hours, while congratulating:
Auz: 63,000 Saves
Jolly: 36,000 B/P

It's rare that people do - I'm not as prolific a News poster as you.

There always is.

I think that the only reason I congratulated it was because I had nothing else to congratulate. If we did it like that, I'd only need 10 Saves. Think about it.

I've just passed 11,111 experience.

I'm also close to a thousand blams. Although I may get my next milestone for saves first, because, well, Clock Day.

I may be a BBS mod as well as user of the year but that doesn't give me enough comments on my posts.

Crazy to imagine it, right?

It's just not as cool as someone reaching that milestone with an actual 1 at the end. One user has done it in this thread before.

I got me over 10,000 combined saves and blams :)
