Today we went to the polls to vote on our country's future. Then I played some football. Standard Thursday really.

Don't like it? Don't go to a club, simple as that. When me and my friends first started drinking legally, we'd end up in a club near enough every time we went out. I enjoyed it back then. Now, several years down the line, I'm lucky if I end up in a club 5 times in a year. Our perspective changed, I'd now rather sit in a pub and have a blether with some mates but 5 years ago, nah [bleep] that, lets go to a nightclub. Different strokes for different folks, is all.

Came here to ask if the premium thing is worth it as I've just started playing again but someone beat me to it. Guess I'll hold on for another few weeks. Played very well tonight, despite it being my first time in over a year. Might look for some kind of regular squad to play with as playing with randoms and having a 2/4 squad full match sucks.

I've got a bottle of 85% Absinthe sitting in a cabinet downstairs. It's pretty shite stuff, essentially just 85% alcohol with some food colouring in it. Absolute rocket fuel.

Dude still posts on Facebook pretty regularly. I think he might've initially left for his stint in national service though I'm not sure. Dragoonson? National service definitely rings a bell. He was from Singapore and I'm sure they do national service still.

Been re-watching Band of Brothers. Just watched the one where they discover the concentration camp and have just spent the last hour and a half reading up on Auschwitz and the holocaust. It's now 3am and I can't sleep, mainly after flicking through the albums on this site: http://resources.ush...all&page_len=25 Give both albums a look, both taken by the same guys only one is full of pictures of the prisoners and the other is the Officer's personal photos. Chilling.

Same, took an entire outpost out with one arrow earlier. Hit the bear cage, the bear escaped and mauled everyone for me. Easy peasy.

Aye, she phoned the police the first time it happened. They showed up 5 hours later and said there's nothing they can do unless they catch them in the act. Went round to see her this morning but they didn't show up. I suggested getting a better lock thing for the communal doors so she's gonna look into that.

Went for a few beers with friends last night at a pub that had a bunch of bands playing, mostly high school aged kids hardcore bands but a guy I used to play with was playing in his new rockabilly type band and they were awesome. Hardcore dancing is also the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen. I like the music but the dancing is just daft I think. Also got a call from my gran saying theres a bunch of kids drinking and smoking weed in the entrance way to the flat. They've been using it as shelter and dumping all their litter even though it's an old folks apartment block and private property. Her neighbour went out to them, got given a bunch of abuse then they ran off. They came back and done the same thing today. I'm gonna go round and see her tomorrow morning, hoping they turn up.

Started looking for a job today, might be a chance I can get back in at my old work so I'll see how that goes. Meeting some friends tomorrow, head to a pub quiz for a few beers and whatnot.

Been around since 2006, can't remember specificaly what prompted me to register but I'm pretty glad I did. Got to be part of a community of sorts in game, which definitely added a different aspect to playing and since I've stopped, the OT boards are always a good time killer, even if I am mostly reading instead of posting now.

Arrived back home this week after a year travelling/working abroad. Still feel a bit weird/jetlagged but it's been good seeing friends again.

Fluent in English. Semi-decent French and German. Know a few words and phrases in Spanish, Swedish, Czech and Japanese but wouldn't be able to string any kind of conversation together in them. Just bits and pieces I've picked up.

Been away from home and travelling for near on a month now, currently as far away from home as I can be... New Zealand! Doing some work and stuff to at the minute to keep the funds up with plans to tour round a bit for a month or so before assessing the cash situation again. Should be fine. Loving living out of a backpack, having no-one really breathing down your neck all the time and met some really nice people. :thumbup:

Several pints of beer and a half bottle of some rather cheap blended whisky tonight. I'm going to be tasting this tomorrow for definite.

Had some "going away" drinks with a few friends tonight before I leave next week. Drunk doesn't even begin to cover it. Will be in a similar state over the course of this week as I say my goodbyes to the rest of my pals. Looking forward to it. :thumbup:

Unlocked the MG36. It's not bad but I think I prefer the M240B. Almost unlocked the USAS-12 as well. It seems to be the only thing that kills me these days.

Unlocked the L96, pretty good. Had a mean streak with it on one of the Karkand maps last night. Headshots are pretty satisfying. Played today but couldn't seem to do anything right. Reacting slow to everything and messing up easy shots. A real off-day. :thumbdown:

Badass. Been playing this a lot more recently, after Skyrim had taken over all my gaming time. I can't say I've done much sniping at all in BF3. I'm one knife kill away from unlocking the assignment sniper (L96?), so I'll probably give it a go properly once I've got that. Running about with an SKS/UMP at the minute on Recon.

I don't mind Fosters too much. It's generally one of the cheaper draught beers about here, not my first choice but good for a cheap night out. Got a bit of a taste for Red Stripe at the minute as well.

I'll drink occasionally at home, normally watching films/listening to music or playing video games. Only a beer or two though, nothing hangover inducing. I'll have the odd beer with meals and whatever as well.

I only really tip in restaurants and occasionally delivery drivers. Taxi drivers are a funny one as sometimes they add an extra charge on at the end which in my mind, constitutes a tip. We've even had a taxi driver demand £10 up front as a deposit that we'd actually pay and not just bail when he stopped the car. They can be sound as anything or extraordinary dicks. Whats the "etiquette" surrounding tipping in bars/pubs in America?

On my 3rd 360 controller in however many years. Prefer wired myself, after having issues with a couple of wireless ones. Can also use it for my computer as well which is good. As for the PS3/360, I do prefer the 360 controller. The way the sticks are laid out (one higher than the other, as opposed to the PS3's side by side) feels better to me.
