I'm putting this out as well now, i'm thinking of doing the next round draw on Tuesday 22nd January at 9pm, again giving people plenty of time to get the invites out. Let us know if that's ok for everyone.

Shows how often i check the thread.

All for £15 upgrade. Thanks to the timeframe Microsoft provided for upgrading to 8 for this price. Also payed for that Startisback app (thanks to former N-Europe'r Jordan) so now it boots to desktop instead of the Metro design. Sale £19

Having a proper look through Windows 8 (yeah, i upgraded for £15 (thanks to the T+C's)). It's pretty quick, and i managed to get it to boot to desktop (thanks to a former N-E member in Jordan). My only gripe is that MS don't like the Aero glass and have removed the coding for that. Which is slightly annoying. I got the license code for it, and i have the disks for Windows 7 in my wardrobe in the need i feel a change back. It's heading that way i believe.

Lets do this Vote: No Lynch

Do what that bloke in Ireland did. Thats all i recommend at this point.

Probably not, ah well. Enjoy the game everyone, i'll be watching from the depths *headstohell

Blockbusters, meh. I'm more bothered abuot HMV. The highstreet needs more independant stores selling entertainment products. But as i said on Twitter earlier, if this is Mr Camerons idea of regeneration then i'd love to see recession.

I think we should just have an Administration thread. Was Blockbusters even open?, thought they'd gone ages ago. Still a sad time for those employed, hopefully none lose their jobs.

It's the systems in work, old browsers.

And to answer the question. Yes, it will be a live-stream and recorded for the benefit of those who cannot make it for the draw.

Damn IE6, can't see Magnus's drawings. Have a look at them later As for now, congrats to all the winners.

Who knows, maybe HMV may be another saved brand like Clintons and GAME. Or maybe it will go a Woolworths and Comet and vanish. Wouldn't mind it staying for a few more years, even the directors and administrators are confident of a successive sale.

Allllllrighty then, happy birthday Bob

I've ran out of thanks, seriously. Everytime you make a purchase, the tune that plays when you heal your pokemon plays as well. Charizard running security with a few Charmanders as recruits, random Digletts appearing from the floor with items you asked for from the back.

Cool. Right the Xpert N-Europe cup Live Draw will be Friday 18th January @ 8:00pm Stream for the cup draw will be here Could possibly have a new webcam with better lighting this time around.

Shame, return soon. Much missed indeed. Speaking of which, mines just having a few tweaks and could be ready soon(ish) for playing.

I could use all my thanks in this thread right now. Seriously, a Serebii-trained HMV would be "different" thats for sure. Pokemon soundtracks, Pokemon movies and Pokemon games all on special offers. Sorry dude, had to do it.

@The Peeps. I can do the draw either Friday Saturday or Sunday nights/afternoons. Whichever is best for most people, at the moment i got nothing planned for the weekend. I was thinking Friday or Sunday evening around 7 or 8pm myself, but i'm happy if you want it earlier. I was thinking Friday as to allow people time to get the invites out for the matches.

That would explain it, so to top my final answer off. See i told everyone so, hehehe.

Would have been nice to know if i were evil, was going on the assumption i was town. Good game overall, apologies for my lack of participation.

Anyone fancy a friendly on Friday?.

Indeed, i was spotted by a HMV staff member doing this. They simply just said to me, and to be fair they were right. "If it's cheaper there, buy it there".

True, i tended to go into HMV and use the Amazon scanner to get the item for a lot cheaper than was offered in-store. For example, Game of Thrones on Blu-ray was £12 cheaper on Amazon than the £40 in HMV
