Best get in a queue mate, i'm already in it with a sledgehammer.

A bottle of some nice wine/champagne usually goes down well as an engagement present. Vouchers are mainly for the wedding. Make it a reasonably priced bottle mind.

They do, i felt sorry for the course tutors as such having to deal with such immature people at all times. Even when they were ejected, they refused to move and one even threatened to "deck" one of the tutors.

Aye, it should be. Gives me a good reason to return to Albion.

Fair enough, but sometimes i can mis-read things and it can seem like something else is said instead of what was meant to be said. Hence my re-iteration of what i said. You know, so am i to be fair.

I was on one of these courses about 2 years ago, before i got my current job. Boy, did i hate it. It most certainly wasn't suited for me, i was standing out a mile in the class for a week with all the correct answers and all that. Hey, i even put my feet on the table and openly stated that i wasn't struggling with English, Math or Job hunting skills at all. I was not getting jobs because i wasn't experienced enough for some of the jobs i was going for. There were even people who were like the ones that Chris the great had in his class, always clowning around and not stopping them at all and disrupting the class. Heck, i got so peed off once that i stormed out along with 2 others because we were there to learn and get advice. And the fact that my train home was in 10 minutes as well. How can people like this get away with what they were doing, and not get banned and/or benefits stopped. I was only on the course to keep the benefits rolling in, and i hated every moment of both the course and having benefits. Oh, and i never once saw a Job/Employment adviser when i was on the course. I could rant and rave all day and night about these courses, but i won't. Chris the great summed it up in his opening post and that was exactly what it was like on the course i was on.

I didn't see it coming as much as anyone on here didn't see it coming either. I was just expecting Jordan to take some time off or something to clear his mind and not come on here for a while.

Now this is something i did not expect to see coming, especially from a forum member i respected quite a bit. I knew times were tough with you and your life at the moment, they've been tough like this for me at times as well. I don't really know what else to say to this to be honest. Farewell Jordan, you shall be missed here and things won't be the same without you around.

Mostly been playing both XBLA versions of Banjo Kazooie and Tooie. Both are awesome games to be honest. And with both titles having working SnS, this makes them great titles to play again or for the first time.

I'd probably organize a huge "End of the World" party at my place, invite a few of my ex's around and see what happens. I think i'd invite the 4 horsemen and get them bladdered.

Its probably a change from what the N64 would of had, or additions to the already complete SnS that was canned for the N64. I just need to find that hen/chicken that is in Tooie to unlock the bonuses.

Please, don't remind me of this. Havn't done the tower on my version, but i did at my mates. SCII was the best of the series. It had perfected the AI, it moved fluidly and all that. SCIV is a good addition to the series, but the tower is rock hard in places. Right then, back onto the PSP version. Graphically it looks impossible to put onto it, but Sony may be right for this year being the PSP year. Hopefully it will play as good as I and II did.

I ran another update, got it to v019 now. The disk now works, must of been firmware.

Gah, updating DVD and Blu-ray players takes a long time. And the mick. I tell ya, just to update my Blu-ray involves a disk (can't get the phone line upstairs). Anyway, its been an alright night. Got just about 1 level done on Tooie and been chilling with a chinese and a beer.

Um.......... That is one huge collection. Talk about a clear-out or what!! If i had the money, i'd probably take a bid on all that. Then sell much of it for a profit.

So its a bit like Freezeasy Peak in Kazooie where you need a certain item to 100% that level, but its in most levels in Tooie.

Its a rare game to get hold of these days, prices for it will usually be high. Good job i already own a copy of this. E3, i'm not expecting any new Hardware from MS to be announced to be honest, they can't even perma fix the 360 RROD errors yet.

^^^ I'll take a look later on.

I'm probably going to get the first level done today when i get back, will try for a 100% clear of each level like i did in Kazooie. I think i spotted one of them BK carts in Spiral Mountain that allows SNS items in Tooie, can't get through the wall though.

Give it to me in my Palm

So in many ways, we have to hope that our bodies don't decide to run the immune system at full pelt to attack this virus.

Had a Knock-out Pool match last night, which i managed to get the team score to at least give us a draw with my win. Overall, we won 5-4 (had to have a decider game, score was 4-4). The atmosphere here in work at the moment is a mixture of both depression and chirpyness coming from the news yesterday we recieved. Tonight is a busy gaming night. Got Banjo Tooie to now attempt to beat (i'm determined to do it this time) and a MK League match later.

I bought new points to get this earlier. Points arrived today, so downloaded it. Had to invert the controls so it suits gameplay like BK's controls did. Stop and Swop is back. According to http://www.rarewitchproject.com, you get some neat stuff not found in the original if you have BK on the HDD. Not spoiling it for you, click at your own risk

Well, its better to be safe than sorry i say. Also if you have a good immune system and all that, hopefully if anyone does get it, it won't be as bad as they say it is. Probably for the best i'm sure of it.
