Mine tend to cry in corners like a wuss too. It's quite unbecoming for someone who has actually started the fight in the first place. However, the fact that they do scrap more makes the game interesting and, while I haven't played NL long enough to see all the scenarios where a fight is likely to kick off, it does seem to be more prevalent Downtown. I think it's the drink to blame... 

I've got that Fight Club mod installed, so I'll report back f I see anything untoward.

Well, I know I was kidnapped by aliens or, at least, dropped on my head at least once or twice!

And there's a lot to be said for national paranoia. Everybody should join in immediately and be certain that the rest of the world is hell-bent on getting you. I'm convinced of it. 

Indeed. I would have welcomed seeing some of the photographer's other work as the piece displayed conjoured up some really deep feelings, as I believe Art should. The pile of dirt only managed to conjour my mate and I leaning against a wall having a belly laugh. Which did no good for the artist as he was there talking at a podium to a small, but keen, audience. Some people you just can't take anywhere... 

I forgot about the "being in Gold" requirement and was puzzled (heh, brain fried as was veeerry tired) when something didn't work as expected. What a pillock! It was the Thinking Helmet, I believe, and the poor bugger just keeled over after peeing himself. I still laughed like a hyeana... Bad simmer, bad. 

That is one scary thought. My childhood Christmas' are noteable by the occurance of the huge family arguements that would brew from two days prior to an absolute explosion on Boxing Day. My, how I miss them (slight sarcastic tone here).

AAARRRGGGGGHHH! Head will explode if I see more of that crap...!  Why, why, why, why, why?

And yup, Z.Z., that's the one. Bull diving analogous to sky diving. 

Get your priorities in order, woman!

I took a chance and went to a photographic exhibition at the local Modern Art Gallery(Ikon) in B'ham; went with a friend as we both enjoy that kind of stuff and certainly the publicity merited it. Huge piece of work showing the raddled corpse of a HIV sufferer who had died a few hours previously. We discussed it, as you would, it being somewhat contentious and showing similar style to Klimt, then decided that we would take in the rest of the exhibition. Except that was it.  Eh?

A further look round the gallery revealed another exhibition...joy! A pile of dirt, with some brooms and a couple of shovels. Who says modern art is pretentious?

Cool. Will try that. Isn't it nice the things you can learn at MATY?

But didn't you know that the USA is THE only country in the world! All t'others merely satelites that wander across its vision as if from some wild faerie dream... 

Oh yeah, Ghost Master. Had a great time with that. What happened to the sequel that was supposed to be coming out?

A someone has already said: Never go to the BBS.

When I was a naive young(er) simmer, I ventured out to the official boards without any knowledge of what awaited me, bravely (as it transpired) and ill-equipped for the depth of sewage. If I had known that you require an aqualung, flippers and drysuit, I would never dared go there! Five minutes left me breathless and starved of oxygen...any longer would have required rescusitation. Ah me... the dangers of deep bull diving. 

A) because they're idiots; B) because they're idiots; C) they like to see us cough up inordinate amounts of cash on a heap of junk; D) because thye're idiots. *select all applicable*

Think you might have overdone it with the jeans... 

I'm sure I saw Pirates offered for £15.00 in one of the supermarkets here... Will have to check that out.

And Spore looks as if it could be very fine indeed.

Second time today I've had to LOL... trouble is it hurts cos got bronchitis ( poor, poor me). So stop making me laugh, dammit!

Thanks Dizzy. Am back to reinstalling the hacks one by one so...am...very...bored... *yawn* Damn EA, damn patches...grrr.

LOL... (ouch, made my ribs hurt)

I think "Good Grief" covers this topic quite nicely. *shakes head in bewilderment at total asininity*

It is depressing in gaming shops. As everyone has pointed out there is a real lack of games that could appeal to the female mind, and I really don't like violence, guns and so on that are generally populated by unfeasibly over-endowed girls. Perhaps it's just that we are not soo attracted to living in that virtual landscape that lads seem to find so fascinating or could it be, perhaps, that the "top-dog" competitiveness of these things is offputting?

And it is a very valid point Witch made about openendedness... a game is far more likely to intrigue me if the outcome is uncertain. So why aren't there more like this?

I think I'm in favour of the alien theory.

Not really into all those holiday extras either, though I know they are popular with lots of other simmers. But, a Samhein EP? Now that would be really cool... 


I could too. Libraries, book shops, particularly the second hand variety, are places I haunt on a regular basis. I'm very fond of Waterstones where I can grab a pile of books and spend ages sitting on the floor going through 'em. Books and shoes are the two best things in whole wide world!

That'll be because of the DIET cola we are so lucky to have now, eh? And I utterly agree with your sentiment.

Yup... let's make certain the prioritis are in the right order. Maim, burn, poke with pointy things, but only after the EP is fixed goddammit! 

Saggy old men parts... eeewwww! Always down to the lowest denominator. Shocking. Shocking.

Of course, but not having seen many, erm, elder men au naturel, I didn't know if they tended to shrink or something.  
Good idea, but it wouldn't work because it would require him to reveal his actual address (other than just the state of Montana).

Is the Hellmouth in Montana, then?

And, no, older men's bits don't shrink, rather they head south just as other saggy portions of the body might as you get older. So, I reiterate... eewww!
