I just did a google search and they both seemed similar. Blame Google.

Also, any chance of you beating the clock and teh mighty gfox (No puns about alt names here, I really do mean beating gfoxcook) to the quadralist?

Well, he's only 100 posts away and I'm at around 250. And he has been posting a lot more frequently than me. So unless a lot of threads appear where I can apply some of my dry humor, chances are pretty low.

Filler text.

Congrats on the new level Night-Ranger :)

Double trouble in the milestone department for me. First, I finally broke 53,000 blam points after a long night of voting. My thanks to scheduling for sticking me with a 16 hour shift (I love those guys).

Second and more importantly.....

We played so much better than I expected. We were looking strong in attack and creating opportunities from France's errors, which was brilliant to see. Definitely an unexpected result, but a welcome one :)

Oh, and the beer and curry were excellent. I have another big bottle of Cobra for tonight, so I'm happy.

Heh. Anything's worth it for a chance to see Led Zep when I was born in 1977 and never had the chance to see them in my childhood, obviously.

I've got nothing like that, I'm too young, but my dad really should see them, he never got to first time around. I'd buy him a ticket instead of going if I can only get one :D

Well, you go and see There Will Be Blood when you get the chance, it is excellent as well.

It's released this friday, I will see it :D

And I shall see No Country for Old Men quite soon. Probably a week from this coming weekend.

Well we can compare opinions then :D

Hey all, I'd just like to say I'm now back from London and I had a fucking great time there! I'll be doing catch-ups tomorrow after coming back from work experience.

My friend missed just a day of depositing for me, but I guess that was Internet problems and at least he did deposit for the other days.

Elite Guard Supreme Commander!

Finally, I return to the BBS just to post this one achievement. It's been almost three years, and I've taken a lot of breaks, but I've done it at last. I've reached the final b/p rank and achieved 60% of my voting power.

I may try to get a 20k / 20k b/p ratio, but I don't make any guarantees, as I'm becoming more and more inactive as the days go by. It'd be cool, so I figure I'll give it a go, and if I can't seem to make it, at last I got to the final rank, which is all that counts in the end.

It's been fun, and I must say, this is an achievement I'm extremely proud of. EGSC #116 (or #117 if you count SevenStar) ... It was a good run. :)

That's a QOTSA song? It sounds really familiar, I think another band has a song or an album title with the same name. Argh, now it's driving me crazy...
According to Wikipedia, it's also an album title from Fatboy Slim and a song from Adema (never heard of them, though).

Fatboy Slim album, yep. That's it. Thanks, man. I so lazy. #;-}>

Well, that too. But it's a part of Great Britain, which contains a tad bit more than just Scotland, England and Wales ;) .

I think Northern Ireland can be considered "a tad bit more" ^^.

I should hope it be considered a bit more than a tad bit, but oh well. It'll have to do. #;-}>

Long story short: No one in Poland cares if things are faked or not (HOORAY FOR STEREOTYPES! :P ).

Unless it's too spendy for you, how about drinking and then taking a cab home? Unless the friend's house is way too far away and all, but hey... you're not in super-wide-open-spread-out USA over here, so it can't be THAT far away. #;-}>

ABSENT IS GONE? Oh my gods. Lame. ;_;

Recon's the recipe master. I swear, he ALMOST makes me want to cook. Almost. #;-}>
You should try it sometime. I never used to be into cooking all that much, but I started getting into it a few years ago, and it's quite nice making a good meal. Good to impress a girlfriend's parents, I've found :)

I took cooking lessons and was into cooking when I was a kid, actually.

I never said I've never cooked. Just haven't been into it much in my adult life.

I do enjoy exploring literature, and occasionally writing the odd bit of prose, so it's a strong possibility. I really have no experience of Law, although I know I could do a degree in it if I put my mind to it.

You could always do English lit and then go to law school after, right?

That's pretty impressive. It's not often that you come across somebody who wouldn't seize the chance to make their millions when it came along.

Obama is teh man. Not The Man, though. Fortunately.

My gf and I are voting for Obama here in Texas. My mom was leaning more towards Hillary Clinton, but I think she's shifted towards Obama in the past couple of months. I'm not sure if I've managed to convert my dad, too. But hopefully all 4 of our votes will be going for him.
Heh, you propaganda wizard, you.

Yeah, that's me. #;-}>

To be honest, even I'm pretty intrigued with it.

NOVEMBER CAN'T GET HERE SOON ENOUGH.

I imagine because British users are just more seldom seen on the BBS, and even when one does come across a British user, it's not always clear that they are actually British unless you check out their profile. I remember somebody recently thought NintendoMadness was Canadian.

Heh.

In any event, Wi/Ht? certainly has a high concentration of smart and/or funny folks from the UK, so it's always fun around these parts thanks to you lot. AND NO, I WILL NOT BE SPECIFYING WHO IS WHOM. #;-}>
Heh, I think the Wi/Ht generally has a lot of intelligent, fun people, British or not. It's always a nice experience posting in these forums, which is largely due to the regulars being so accommodating. The General forums, on the other hand, is full of users who will openly flame you for saying anything other than a tired, worn out, overused 4chan meme.

Sure it does, but seriously I don't remember a time in the Wi/HT? history when there were this many Brits around. I mean, way back in the day jonthomson was the only one around (that I can think of)... and then came Denvish, of course, and others.

I learned Spanish for 2 years, Japanese for 2 years, Latin for 3 years, Greek for 1 year, and French for 1 year. I'm not fluent, but it was good to have a range of language.
Showoff :P

But like I said, I never got fluent. I don't retain very much due to the smattering of instruction/immersion I experienced in each but never enough in any one to get great at it.

Sometimes you get foreign users posting completely unintelligible posts, which is slightly annoying, but you can't condemn them for trying. What's even more annoying though is when you get people flaming foreign users out of the water for making a few mistakes in their English.

Especially if they hilariously make errors in their own posts.

The more experience you have, the higher your base voting power is. Nothing more, nothing less.

Yep. So many newbies seem to think that a new level should = some big boost in VP, when of course... it's a gradual process tied to exp, not level, though of course level is tied to exp.

Hence the confusion, I guess.

U2 - Last Night on Earth, Discotheque, The Unforgetable Fire, Running to Stand Still, A Day Without Me

All very good songs frrrrrrrrrrrrom.... POP, POP, Unforgettable Fire, Joshua Tree, and THE GREAT... Boy!

There's not a non-rare U2 song that I don't instantly know the source of. #;-}>

Dire Straits - Walk of Life

One of my fave Dire Straits.

After Sultans of Swing, for sure, though. Best EVER.

I'm just in the habit of voting on some of my fave flash every single day. I vote on BEEBO and Marc M flashes with all three of my accounts every day. But you know what? I'll think about changing to voting on some UJ flashes with gfoxcook every day, and then my two alts can vote on BEEBO and Marc M afterwards (just not as many)... so it'd be the best of both worlds. And then the saves would at least trickle in... 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 a day. Not a bad idea, man. THANKS, AUZ!
You're welcome ;)

Tbh I'm a little suprised you never thought of that before =/

Actually, I've had at least 2-3 other users recommend that same method to me that you just did.

But I didn't take them up on their advice. But I did take you up on yours, and I gained 38 saves in the past week as a result of it. Thanks again for your great advice. I guess I just had to hear it enough times...

It also helps that I've been trying to get my saves up since last June or so, yet failing for the most part, aside from on Clock Day... that may have helped convince me.

Also, I always liked to use my main account's high VP to get the BEEBO scores up as much as possible, but gfoxclock and gfox are so high in exp and base VP now, too, that they can do a decent enough job on their own in raising my fave flashes' scores every day during depositing... while gfoxcook can gain 3-5 saves or so.

HUZZAH! New crickettobatto.

My old car had a MiniDisc player that would remember the track and the precise place in the shuffle that you were at whenever youswitched it off. I always like to start from the beginning of the track though.

Ooo, shuffle-y.

My new stereo is an iPod attached to a nifty adaptor, so it plays through my stereo :)

I don't tend to use my Zen in my car, just at work, while walking, or while waiting in waiting room type situations.

Delivering a contract for work - we're buying a piece of land that is costing us a seven-figure sum, which we will build lots of houses on. The boss said it would take me about 1 hour each way. My total time, after a little light socialising with said vampire, sorry, solicitor was 5 hours.

Ah, I see. Heh, vampires....

Choc choc GOOD GOOD!

I can normally tell when they spell words differently to English and stuff in America whihc isn't in England.

I spell most words that have a difference the English way, though (note: I don't claim all, just most. There are some words I prefer the American spelling on, but most z/s and o/ou cases I side with the English way). SO HOW ABOUT THAT?

Throws a little wrench into your plans, eh wot?

Congrats.... but your VP won't be fitting until it's hit 7.77(77), yanno...
Yanno?

"You know."

You're saying there's more clever British NG users proportional to idiot British NG users.... than clever American NG users proportional to idiot American NG users?
Meh, I think there's just less British users overall, which creates the illusion that there are more stupid American users, when in reality the ratio is probably more or less the same. Doesn't matter to me where they're from, intelligence is intelligence.
You can make me change my mind on any topic. You make great speeches. #:3

I've been doing it longer than I've known about Obama, but I can't do it anywhere near as well as he can. My persuasive abilities are that of a noob compared to his greatness.

What's your view on Hilary's "Shame on you Barack Obama!" speech?

Ridiculous.

She, her husband, and the rest of her campaign has been doing way more negative campaigning than he has over the past few months, and as he pointed out, it's awful convenient that those two fliers she has a problem with the accuracy of have been around for weeks and weeks, yet she only NOW complains about them, right before the most important contests of the freakin' primary for her.

I didn't notice you were so close to quadlisting at this point, of course I knew you were gonna triplelist. Anyway, congrats on that, and future-grats on the 4x10k, whichever of us makes it first. It matters little, just getting there is what counts.

Unless my mp3, which was autonamed by CDDB when I ripped it off of my CD of Curve's Doppleganger album, is lying... both the song and the album of the same name have the umlaut in Curve's naming of them.

Seems like you weren't catching up yesterday anymore. But I see that you just need about 100 posts more until you hit the big 10,000. Now that the end of your quest comes into reach, tell our viewers and your numerous fans out there, how do you feel? *sticks mic in your face*

Like I just saids, I did catch up yesterday! Just not in here.

More like 90 posts or so now. (GASP)

Heh. Anything's worth it for a chance to see Led Zep when I was born in 1977 and never had the chance to see them in my childhood, obviously.
I've got nothing like that, I'm too young, but my dad really should see them, he never got to first time around. I'd buy him a ticket instead of going if I can only get one :D

I've got nothing like that, either. Like I said, I was born in 77. Unless I saw them when I was 0, 1, or 2... there was no way for me to see them, either. #;-}>

Well, you go and see There Will Be Blood when you get the chance, it is excellent as well.
It's released this friday, I will see it :D

Awesome!

And I shall see No Country for Old Men quite soon. Probably a week from this coming weekend.
Well we can compare opinions then :D

I actually saw it earlier today. I wanted to see it before the Oscars.

It won best adapted screenplay, supporting actor, director, and picture.

TWBB only won best cinematography (which was gorgeous, BTW) and best actor.

I was a bit disappointed by that. Don't get me wrong, I agree with you that NCFOM is a great movie, too. But I personally enjoyed TWBB quite a bit more, plot-wise and characters-wise and visuals/scenery-wise, too.

We played so much better than I expected. We were looking strong in attack and creating opportunities from France's errors, which was brilliant to see. Definitely an unexpected result, but a welcome one :)

Well, I'll be talking about the Rugby to various Welshmen this morning about how they scarcely deserved to beat Italy by the huge margin that they did.

It plays really well, with the middle of the bat being about 1.5-2" thick, so I can really get a good piece of wood behind the ball.
