Off to see Lambert at #AVFC this morning. Expecting Warnock's exit to be confirmed. Warnock has moved out of his house near training ground

It's a crap game at the same time though, I mean if somebody was to explain to me that there is this game where you mine blocks of stone, dirt etc to then build things out of them, I'd tell them they were stupid for buying it. Love it though.

Agreed. It's different to any other game I have though so it has a niche. Plus it is quiet so I can play it when the rest of the house is asleep!

That is certainly something to aspire to! I have started building on top of a mountain and the time is flying. Kudos to the developers. They have created a great gaming experience.

I bought the xbox version of this the other day and am addicted. I chose the xbox version over the pc version so I can relax on the sofa while playing it on a large screen. I can also play co-op with my son on it. It's very educational with smelting and building, and killing creatures with bow and arrows . There are updates planned to make it more like the pc version. For a novice there is more than enough to be getting on with. Probably not much point for anyone who has the pc version though.

I wonder how many players we could sign in one day logistically with the time it takes for medicals and legal agreements.

Karim Al Ahmadi.....Rock the Holte End......Rock the Holte End?

Re the Incognitoavfc twitter above, 'exert effort you shall be rewarded' is a Moroccan proverb, so Google tells me. Confirms he is talking about El-Ahmadi.

Thanks Julie. Fingers crossed.

Julie, lets hope he brings his team with him then.

What's the scoop Richard?

Yep it was your post that reminded me I wanted to thank the OP

Just adding my appreciation to dont_do_it_doug for the recommendation to listen to 'We're Alive'.

As an aside, I am also loving 'We're Alive', so thanks to whoever recommended it.

I failed the 'layman' request then

Looking at the top example it is 4/4 time so you count to 4 for each bar. Your left hand would start and play a chord of DFAb for beat 1, then two lots of chord FAC in the space of the 2nd beat, then in this bar you hold that chord for 2 more beats to finish the bar, having counted to 4 in total. At the same time your right hand is resting for half of beat 1, then plays a D for 1 and a half beats, then you have 4 more notes, (quavers) DFAC to play at the same time as your left hand is holding the last chord. These 4 notes are played evenly over beats 3 and 4.

Aah, so you're a waffle man.

Agreed - should be left in the past. As an aside, my wife and 4 year old son say 'Too slow Chicken Marengo'. They have no idea what it means but they like it

I'm on 29 but having seen Laura has completed it there isn't the urgency now Well done Laura.

26 currently. Fiddly blighter.

Respect

I saw level 19 and have now stopped for my sanity.

There should be an advertising campaign reminding/educating people about the fact additional lanes are for overtaking. It doesn't help that motorway driving isn't legal until you pass your driving test, then most people don't get lessons on how to drive on a motorway.

In my opinion, if the speed limit increase happens it will lead to more stress/accidents on the motorways when busy, as the speedsters do 10 mph more than they did before whilst the slower drivers do not and there will be more tailgating and aggression and stubborness from both parties but at faster speeds. Not good.

I'm not religious but I think as a country we are missing the moral guidance and community spirit religion brings. Shame there isn't a non-religious alternative at the same scale. We could do with it.

Secular humanism

Basically, do unto others what you want others to do unto you, deceptively simple concept.

Thanks for the info legov. Sadly the concept seems to be lacking in the world these days.
