It has already been done. A guy wrote a book about that. But I don't think it has been translated to english. What a shame!

It sounds like Jasper Carrot's insurance claim sketch, where he reads out Australian motor insurance claim forms:

"The accident occurred while I was waving at the man I ran into last week."

"I was driving in wiggly lines towards the tree, but I still couldn't avoid the head-on crash."

Yeah, something like that.

The manufacturers tend to be more conservative in their estimations. Parkers is independent and tests the vehicles for the most accurate reading possible. I've not managed to get 60 mpg out of the Focus, but they quoted 60. I'd be happy managing that, as it means less of a fuel bill.

Well, MY fuel bill amounts to just 0 anyway. :P Ah, the benefits of a good public transportation system.

Nah, you have to pay for tickets, which is basically paying for fuel for the transport.

Nope, my company pays for the ticket. :P
Also, it's just 60 Euros per month, so a lot cheaper than having to refill the car every two weeks.

Considerably cheaper. I like how that works and wish it did for me, but that means we need a good public transport system.

If you're working better than their current workforce, they start getting rid of the bad workers, not the good ones.

This show could have done with a longer notice but failing this for you there shall be the world tour for their upcoming album.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to that already.

I once heard it could be out in February but I'll take a more realistic prediction and say sometime in Summer.

More like it.

That long? Cool, the tomatoes can start to rot!

Well, hopefully longer than that. ;) And could you throw cabbages or something? I always hated tomatoes.

Cabbages don't fly as well - you can dodge them easier.

I've just bought a 9 year old one, but it's worth it. Maybe a temporary one, if something better comes along. You never know.

So long as it takes you from point A to point B and it's got a CD player to crank 2112, am I right? ;)

CD player? Nah, I plug the iPod in and off we go.

Some few updates to try and build up some conversations here:

1. Username change AGAIN. Don't worry, I will be sticking to this one for real. The last one was only temporary due to some personal issues but that should be all cleared now.

2. Iron Maiden were fantastic last Saturday. The meet up with some new people also turned out well so hopefully I'll see them again in the near-future. As for the band, they played songs such as Phantom of the Opera, Aces High and Seventh Son of a Seventh Son (well of course) so I was easily made up.

3. That feeling when you see your EXP rank at #101. Oh god yes, not much longer now!

Shame, you missed out on a great show. The support act was better than Airbourne but forgettable. I only wonder if you did go would you have tried to meet up with who I was with that day?

This is the Job Centre we're talking about here. Any other place, sure, but not Job Centre. Speaking of them, they still owe me two JSA payments. I'll be having a word with them next Wednesday if I'm still not paid for them by then.

Unless you are a better worker than your boss. Those kind of people seem to lose their job first.

Hold your fire -he's changed his name again. This saddens me greatly.

Does your car have USB port? Mine doesn't have one, but I've rented a car with one once. It's pretty cool having your whole iPod up on the touch screen that's built into the dash and all. That's probably the thing I'd be excited about the most if I got a new car. How sad. lol

Anyway, the reason I stopped by this evening was to say that we have half a chance of gaining promotion, after our victory today, but also to tell everyone that I'm now in the Top 30 Voting Power

That felt good.

19,000 blams.

Sadly it's not that great but if you consider what I should be acquiring this week, I'm sure it's still good. However, progress is still good with the one I have interest in. It's hard to arrange to see each other at a live show due to her plans to uni and all but I thought about meeting up sometime next month and she likes the idea. No live shows or anything, just seeing each other.

I'm afraid it isn't. Anyone can reach 30k EXP if they take enough time. Only a hundred accounts can enter the top 100. I know that statement is obvious but exclusive club of 100 vs anyone reaching 30k EXP? That said, 30k EXP is still an impressive milestone.

I agree. I like that we're not stuck to only seeing each other when there's live shows on. I really like that she's determined enough to see me at a time when nothing's going on. Afterwards it won't be easy to see her considering uni but if things are going well then I'll be dedicated enough to see her wherever she might be in the UK.
