    Saving the world then shagging two russian diplomats whilst consuming the finest Foie Gras and guzzling a bottle or two of Kent Rassmussen Late-Harvest
    Sauvignon Blanc 1993.

      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.

      Almost as enjoyable as leaving the UK for New Zealand one Christmas (cries of shock and horror from the family) and forgetting about the %^£$^£$ lot of them.

      What's the point of going to New Zealand if your idea of fun is sitting in playing computer games? Surely a virtual New Zealand is much cheaper?
      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.”

        Ah, I didn't explain very well obviously.

        The topic was "what are people doing over New Year's Eve??" to which I replied. Admittedly, I did veer off-topic with regards to my comment about New Zealand, and have now edited my post of the superflous information.
        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.
