  1. Is it the same towers or will there be new ones do you reckon?
  2. Isn't rested XP capped though? By the way, how do you get to Northrend?
  3. According to the shop bloke I spoke to, the game won't work until after midnight tomorrow night in any case. Knowing Blizz, make that some time next week!

    Smoking ban.

    The smoking ban's great, I've noticed I'll have a quick pint after work far more often than I used to, and chances are it'll be a proper old boozer that serves decent beer rather than a wine bar as well. Can't see anything to complain about at all tbh.
  5. If anybody is bored tonight, I need a quick burn through lowbie underbog. Need 3 more q's in zangamarsh for an achievement. Can't seem to find any more regular q's there. Anyway I reckon it would take 3 of us no time at all.
  6. I'm using Bartender for my UI, which looks to me like an updated Bongos. Nothing flash, just nice and functional. Oh and Xperl too of course. Can't find a working itemrack type mod which is a drag though. Get your rogue out Si, you'll level him in time, abd I'll help where I can. I've just specced enhance and I do some decent damage. I love my two spirit wolves, I set them on some poor bugger in serpent lake, and he drowned.
  7. I'm actually enjoying wow again, as I'm doing achievements and quests again, getting involved in real world pvp and avoiding raiding like the plague. I even think I'll get wotlk. You should come back for a bit si, they've actually made the game good fun again. (As long as you don't bump into a retri pally doing the same q as you!)
  8. I quite like the achievements thing atm. For one thing it gets you to find parts of maps you may have missed first time round, but also, there are loads of people doing likewise, so there's a good scope for lots of real world PvP. Some of the achievements are good fun too, like that jenkins run last night. Bit annoying that it recognises some of your old dungeons but not all of them. Apparently I've never done Scholo.....
  9. Hasn't Drakki been a 10 man boss for a while now? But yes, was good fun, especially the Leeroy run.
  10. I attacked one the other night. Immediately wished I hadn't. To be fair I only did it as I wanted to attack him with all my pets (2 x spirit wolves, 1 x fire elemental, 3 x Barov peasants and 1 x Onyxia skeleton helper) but after the initial confusion ended, he killed me very quickly). Sero (retrdin) from BOTS practically soloed Onyxia last night. Mad.
  11. There's absolutely nothing wrong with a night in with Palm-ela Hand-erson.
  12. Sex with relations? Are you from Lincolnshire?
  13. Well I specced full enhancement just before the server went down, and my shiney new talent is two hunter style pets, ie two ghost wolves that will attack things for me.
  14. Noooooooooooo: /quit
  15. The money to buy Villa was loaned by the Lerner Family Trust. Family trusts from rich families usually have clauses in them that they have to lend money at commercial rates. I don't imagine that the trustees are in a huge hurry for the money to be paid back. If Randy keeps improving the club and its fortunes the way he has, I'd imagine we'll be able to repay it sooner rather than later without noticing it too much. As someone who knows a little bit about football finance, I'd say Randy's style of operating so far is about as close to being the perfect model as you can get.
  16. Just finished a bottle of Tesco's Finest Argentinian Shiraz - San Juan. Only bought it as it was half price and I needed warming up after walking the dogs in the pissing rain, but it turned out to be fantastic - smoother than a cashmere codpiece.
  17. I'll check out GW, but from the screenshots it looks a little like a basic WoW. What's the appeal with it?
  18. The only thing that would possibly make me renew was if all the old guard were to come back for WOTLK. But then I know I'd probably get suckered back into raiding again and I really don't want that. The most fun I had in the last few months was in the arena with Si (and a bit with Tarj as well). We started off unutterably shite, but actually got quite good.
  19. I remember the fist night I logged on to Wow and Si gave me a tour of the early places, I was absolutely knocked out by the sheer scale of the game. Then just finding new areas was an absolute blast, I remember being L40ish and falling of a ledge from Tanaris and coming face to face with that huge sodding T Rex. Once you lose that excitement, like you say Sie, it almost becomes a sense of duty rather than fun.
  20. Someone needs to bring out a decent new alternative to WoW. I don't miss the game itself, as it had got pretty stale towards the end, but I do miss the days of all the VT boys playing together. We had the early days of Nays, Si, Me, Dan, Tarj, Bicks and Sie all levelling relatively close to each other, when getting from L40 to L50 was a pretty big achievement and half the map was still waiting to be discovered. Then we had the later days with Limpid, Juju, Sam and Jay when we all got pretty good, and half the Dashers seemed to be made up of the VT contingent. The night me, Dan and Tarj were levelling in Ashenvale, and we attacked the allied gryphon master still ranks as one of the funniest things I've ever seen.
  21. New Order - Everything's Gone Green. (just sold the 7" on Ebay for £24! )
  22. I was a huge 24 fan, but the last two to three series just got more daft and full of plot holes as they went on. I love Lost, but sometimes it gets frustrating, so on the whole I'm going to plump for Heroes which both the wife and I really enjoy.
  23. Guess which one's my dad then....yes that's right, the chap on the far right, Imran Rissbrook! By the way, is this the most off topic any thread has ever gone?
  24. I'll be sure to pass on your regards! Strangely enough, there's a picture of him on the Chiltern Railways website opening the new toilet building.
