    Don't know about London, but we'll be having a traditional Scottish New Year with an Indian takeaway and much booze.

    Why the avatar? Well anyone accused of plotting against Gordon Brown can't be all bad.

      Patrolling the streets with a large placards, urging party-goers to recant their evil, debauched ways, shun the demon drink, cease their fornication and return to their homes for an evenings' contemplative prayer.

      Chico.
      The vegetarian option.

        New Year

        Partying it up in Oggrimmar (It's a city in the online game of World or Warcraft), watching the virtual fireworks, drinking virtual beer, and chatting over Teamspeak to Mrs BGG who will be doing the same in the other room.
        Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

            I once asked my missus in the other room when dinner was ready using Skype... I quite fancy the idea of her getting a UT2004 avatar and Redeeming her.
            If you think my attitude stinks, you should smell my fingers.

              The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

              But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

                Doing a 7,000 piece jigsaw by candle light while listening to the 'Best of the Shipping Forecast 1947 - 1968'.

                And some of the pieces for the jigsaw are missing!

                Bah!

                You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.

                    What makes you think this model is going to be still running by the year end?

                    I think I might have found out what I have done wrong. I’m about to set the package to stop at the next check point. When that will be in your time scale I don’t know. I can’t give a fixed date and time because there is a known bug that corrupts models if you set them to finish like that. It’s because different parts of the simulation run at different speeds depending on the local complexity.

                      Ok, then I'm sad

                      However, it was a darn sight cheaper than paying £50 just to step through the front door of my local, and stand sardine-like with loud and lary "lads", deafened by the sound of the 500' Plasma Screen TV, just to sing some cr@p song at the stroke of 12.

                      Last year there were 24 of us from the Guild, all in Stormwind (we played Alliance then), watching the fireworks, getting virtual drinks, chatting on Teamspeak and generally socialising in a calm and relaxed manner. Most pleasurable indeed, and something we plan to repeat this year, once we fend off family invites and coaxing friends who want to go out and subject themselves, and more importantly us, to the misery of option A above.

                      I've done enough years of option A to put me off for life. This was something different, and a darn sight more enjoyable.
