    Nice points Alex. I might turn the RSS feeds off then as higher visitor stats would be nice I know what you mean about the server resources but this machine is hardly under pressure so we should be OK.

    hyperD has been feared lost and returned to the fold again. I am not worried If it helps people keep up to date with the forum then I am happy with the RSS being more widely used. Was checking Diestl's posts earlier and one from him in 2007 was asking for a better feed. If only he was still around to see it

    Enjoy the beer. I have just eaten too many Liquorice Allsorts and feel like I could either be ill or give in to temptation and do the rest of the packet. Maybe a beer would help them settle...

        Thanks for your help Alex
        Thanks admin! I didn't want to cause any extra kerfuffle, was just curious as to why CUK lagged behind other blogs/boards such as Guido's etc

        Most kind sir anyhow, and did Mr Alex really help you out? I couldn't tell from the thread but I think he was annoyed as I asked him in broken Russian whether he would be my boyfriend!

        Hey Alex - what beer are you drinking btw?
        If you think my attitude stinks, you should smell my fingers.

          Yes, by posting on this board whilst admin checked what was wrong with RSS feed. Also I offered helpful "post-event" consultancy, free of charge of course.

          Stella. Now that pre-nups are nearly legal all I need is a wife to cook me nice supper

            Still on DOD? I reverted to Counter Strike a few weeks ago as was bored of L4D and MOH2. Counter Strike still rocks. I moaned about the new MOH the other day. Tried the multiplayer again though and it is not bad actually...

            No kerfuffle - more than happy to check it out. An hour delay was not very good and needed a kick.

            Tried babel fish and G translate but no joy. Thought would check the server though and Alex's PM back you was explicit enough for me to guess it was something like that

            I really thought better of you than that.

              Ah excellent, many thanks!

              Here you go admin - Russian love phrases

              Prenups Alex - yup, or alternatively, get yourself a nice stay-in au pair!

              Have fun gents - off for a quick L4D2 "Dead Aboard" multiplayer zombie fest with some friends!

                It's a good lager - I don't mean here 4% tulip that they offer as new Stella

                  DODS is ok... CS sucks ever since they tried to deal with that "bunny hopping" problem years ago...

                    Bunny hopping brings back memories Still prefer CS over DoD though.

                      DOD was superior to CS in every way - couple of shots and enemy is dead, and I loved bleeding that can be fixed with bandages - they removed it in DODS to cater for noobs
