Had my first works Christmas party in 2 years yesterday, and it was an overral great night out. Out of 13 people on the team, only 5 came out. Everyone else either had other plans or couldn't make it for what-ever reason. Started at 5pm in Weatherspoons with a steak and beer deal (£7.50), had a few beers afterwards contemplating where to go next. Decided to go to the pub across the way. Did call a few others see if they wanted to come out, alas 1 extra person arrived later on. Should have caught the last train home, but was pursuaded by 1 of the team and our friend to stay later. Some of the team had gone home earlier in the evening. Didn't leave the clubs until 2am, and thats only because we had work in 8 hours. As it was 2am, 2 of us crashed at our friends house (they also work in the same place) and crawled into work @ 10am. Havn't been home since Tuesday morning, and am in need of a shower. Not feeling work today though, should have called in sick.

Cool, got Sonic CD on my download list as of now. Always wanted to play it, here is my chance.

Weird indeed, i've only had dragons coming back to life. Not dead NPC's attending weddings so far. Lydia attended my wedding and congratulated me as well. Lydia returns to Whiterun or wherever your house is awaiting you, so if the need to have a companion is necessary for yourself, thats where she be.

The only real issues i've had with Skyrim is the random crashing. And a dragon returning to life and attacking me, before taking an arrow to the knee. Something occured over the weekend which i still can't explain. Crossed a river (after the Four Skull Lookout) to get to Kolskegger Mines, near Markarth. I crossed over, no problem. Get to the path above, look back down and i see the body of Lydia floating down river. I gathered she drowned after attempting to cross, she's never tried crossing a river or a lake before so i gather NPC's can't swim. Heading down behind her on the river bank, she washes up on the shore and the "search" option becomes available, so i know she was definetly dead. Wasn't carrying anything of value, so left her there. Head into Markarth to see whats what, look behind me to go to the mines and low and behold, Lydia is behind me alive and well. How, i don't know. I am training to become a powerful mage having joined the college in Winterhold as well, learned a few new spells.

I'm not a coffee person myself, but if i do have a cup/mug, i tend to put a spoonful (or two, depending on tiredness). No milk or sugar, have it as it comes. A mate of mine had 30 expresso shots in 1 mug before, ended up pissing out black stuff for a few days after. I don't know if there is a limit to how much to put in a mug, like many have said, it does depend on taste.

It's actually pretty decent, something different for a Sunday night. Just got around to watching the first episode.

Another sequel, jeez. Thought the 2nd just about got away with it to be fair.

I always remove all sell-able items from guards/enemies, even if it means leaving them in near naked states. Probably handy when Lydia is around, she can hold all the items that weigh me down. Progress check. Recently married my character to the woman i assisted to retrieve the Golden Claw in my first mission. Had a good turn-out as well, a few residents who i helped recently were amongst the crowds. Decided to complete the "Love" quest in the Riften chapel first though, something different than the usual "raid the cave, clear the baddies out" types of quests i've had recently. Always like the NPC's giving warnings of enemies in caves, saying "don't go in until help arrives to clear them out". Wonder what they think the swords i have do??. Cleared 6 caves and mines for residents, they were thankful indeed.

Had a nice 3 hours off work, god bless union strikes. So, spent it in town in the German market with Bratwurst and Mulled Wine/Gluwein. Lovely, only bad side is that i've had to come back for 3 hours. After consumption of said products.

Havn't had to deal with this virus, but i did have to do a re-install on my computer over the weekend. Only advice, if you have the time, follow the guidance to remove it via the sources you found. Or if you have the disks, re-install Windows from fresh. Which sounds easier from what i read to get rid of the virus.

Finally, i own a property in Whiterun. And had the coin to upgrade it as well. Next on my list, marraige.

Looks good, can't fault Epic for breaking out of the Gears module.

Yesterday, i discovered how much of an idiot i am. I didn't know, until yesterday that is, that i could upgrade my magic and combat inc armour everytime i levelled up. There was me looking for more powerful weapons and potions to increase my skills, when all along i could increase it via the stats. Honestly, no wonder i keep dying against the simplest of enemies.

Thats the problem with the British people, they complain when something they don't like happens on TV. It's cheaper to pick the remote up and switch off, then the TV companies can realise with low figures that what they have on isn't working. The particular QI ep will be shown according to BBC at a later date. Anywho Only can you go out on a Saturday night, witness a fight between the bar manager and punter resulting in early shut-tap and hear a different story. Which involves a 3rd "mystery" person no-one saw and which the manager didn';t get into a fight. Hmm

I can't find anything in my stash that could beat that snap either. And i've looked through them all.

Filled it in, hope the answers assist in your research.

I see, more pictures required. Goafer (with added Dannyboy)

I suppose it comes in handy having an aid to carry some of the heavier items. Namely the scales and bones from dragons. Found 2 forts consisting of a tribe who don't seem to realise i'm on the Nord side. Sorry, but they were quickly wiped out.

It's surprising how much i depend on the internet compared to 10 years ago. Like many of you, if i had the chance i'd check online before i go to work. I must check facebook every few hours when i am out and about, but at home it is on in the corner. I reckon 1/2 my life is based online, have many friends online as well as in real-life. Heck, after the meet-ups, i've got a good combo of both. I do check online at work as well, have N-E on sitting idle whilst i do some work, have a check every hour see if anything new has been potted recently.

Had a couple of hours on Skyrim last night. Decided to explore the West-side, as i have spent many hours in the East and Central areas. Found a nice fort complete with a horde of bandits, who provided me with excellent target practice upon themselves. I still have the habit of taking everything from someone and selling it on to make a quick buck.

I actually have it on record, thanks to Charlie Brooker pushing it on Twitter. Will watch it on Friday, and i'll get back to you.

Just thought i'd pop in and wish you a Happy Birthday once more, this time belated. Hope it was good for you today.

Well, the dash hasn't arrived on the 6th. Delayed until further notice i guess.

Thing to remember is, as she is quite a large person already, that jug as we see it is a cup to her. But still, that is one heck of a meal. Makes a McDonalds sound healthy to me.

There is not a chance i can take down a giant single-handed yet, nowhere near that advanced.
