Snooze

Always a Valkyrie or Wizard here. Wizards are more fun, but Valkyries are just so damn effective. My YAAD of late seems to be not getting poison resistance early enough and falling into spiked pits. And my best game EVER ended when I choked and died trying to eat an H corpse. Y.A.S.D. L's are a complete PITA. Especially when they start summoning stuff in.

Oh - and as someone who is interested in the Cold War, I'm thinking Us and Them looks quite intriguing.

Likewise! I've been playing it off and on for about 20 years and never got passed Gehemmon.

REAL strategy game suggestions : - Dominions 3 - Space Empires 5 - Combat Mission Afrika Corps - Dwarf Fortress - X-Com: UFO Defense - Nethack (the best computer game ever. fact!) - Laser Squad Nemesis - Greed Corp .....and Civilization 5 is due out at the end of this year

BIRTHDAY BUMP! Have a good one!

Meh. Rubbish car.

Are you interested in real strategy games or just the usual "RTS" stuff?

Congratz, guys!

Grey with TRD badge on the back. Very tidy car!

Hi Jamesy. Yep - I'll take this if it's still going, thanks! PMd also. Cheers, ben

Can't recommend the Clifford 650 enough in this and other regards. As well as the remote start, boot release and window closure, there's another couple of auxilliary outputs you can use for triggering anything. The remote start is great in the mornings - I start mine up while I'm still having breakfast - then the oil is already warmed up when I'm leaving the house. It also has a mode for battery charging when you leave the car for long periods - it can detect when charge gets low and run the engine for a while to recharge.

Light is green. Trap is clean!

Jesus is watching over you, Jamie. He says to stop playing with it or it'll fall off! That's NOT what Marmite is for - despite how it tastes. Not sure why people get so excited about Jesus popping up in random locations. Don't the same people believe that God is omnipresent? Surely that's WAY cooler? Jesus: Hiya, God, aren't I clever for popping up everywhere? God: Son, I AM everywhere.

Stunning. Last of the proper 911s IMO.

Woooooooooooo

3 minutes!

I'd like to suggest Guildford, too (it's a lovely area here), but I'm not sure you'll get what you're after here for Out of: - 2 bedrooms - garage - walking distance of railway station I think you'll get two of those three in your budget. If you're looking out this way, Haslemere might be a better bet?

Nice job Canada. Never looked doubtful in overtime - they were dominating.

Equaliser with 24s to go. Wow. Anyone else watching this?

Where's marbleapple for the other side of the argument?

If it helps, my money is on a viral chest infection. My son (now 4 weeks old) caught it pretty much when he was born - is just now recovering from it. When he was in hospital, they had numerous other identical cases too. My Dad (over in the west country) has had a very similar viral chest infection for the last 3 weeks. It seems to be everywhere these last few weeks.

It's exactly like Ozz says. If you have spare cash because you're on a low interest rate at the moment don't assume the best option is to overpay straight into your mortgage. Jurgen's situation is tantamount to the same thing - he's deliberately choosing not to pay off any more capital than he has to (in his case by having an interest only mortgage - of course there is a bit of a gamble with house prices if you go interest only, but that's the trade off). If you can earn more interest on that extra money by saving it elsewhere than you would save by paying off extra on your mortgage, then save it elsewhere, and pay off in a bigger lump sum at the time the situation reverses. Due to my silly, low interest rate, I'm actually banking away loads of money at the moment. It's going into long term savings where I'm earning ~5% interest (net 3% after tax, of course). If I was paying it into my mortgage, I'd only be saving the 1% interest that I'm paying on the mortgage.

What do you call a w***er with no shins? Tony Hancock

What's ET short for? 'cos he's only got little legs!

Interest rates were in double figures for nearly the entire time from the early 80's until 1992. Don't imagine there isn't a precedent for it. Of course, house prices were a lot more sensible back then, so people weren't going bankrupt all over the place. Of course, inflation back then was caused by business boom. Whereas today it's going to be caused by insane government spending. Same result tho', I think - unless they plan to let inflation go unchecked.....
