Making money
I think it'd work out about the same... you could pick 1k flax and 1k essence per hour, and they sell for roughly the same. I'd say essence since at least you're earning some experience for it.

Weddings- Extravagant or Basic?
I'm getting married next July. Most of it's been paid for now and it cost me a total of just under ̢̮â¬Å¡Ãâã5,000 ($10,000). It's not even a big wedding... 30 people at the ceremony and dinner, plus another 20 for the evening buffet and drinks. Going to have a bagpiper at the ceremony (I'm Scottish lol), mercedes cars etc... My partner wanted to spend more, but to be honest, I don't see the point in spending a lot of money on just one day. I spent almost as much on our honeymoon, which will be in Florida (I believe that's better value for money)

My Problem With Rap Music...
Yup, pretty much agree with all of those statements. To add a few of my own... * There's not much originality. Most rap songs I'm familiar with, are ripped from other songs. * Most of it sounds very similar * I believe less talent and ability are required to rap, than to say, play an instrument such as a guitar, thus I give it less respect.

Weird grand exchange prices?
Yer, I noticed this as well. It's a pity Jagex won't let you set prices outwith their own guidelines. I found that none of my eight pairs of boots have sold in six hours, simply becuase the minimum price I was allowed to set it too expensive

What Are YOUR Views On 99 Fletching And Cooking?
Level 99 in any skill deserves respect. However, lvl 99 in certain skills deserve more respect than others. I would have far more respect for someone with lvl 99 slaying, farming or runecraftting than say someone with lvl 99 cooking. I think it's still a great lvl 99 to have... it gives you a taste for a lvl 99 skill and helps you move onto others. I think the majority of that have several 99 skills, probably started with either cooking or fletching.

26 November 2007 - The Grand Exchange
This is my favourite update since Construction. Absolutely fantastic in my humble opinion. It's so easy to buy and sell the more obscure stuff now. (although I've got 4k nats sitting there for two hours unsold now... strange)

Question for the high lvl farmers
Personally, I find that I suffer from a 25% die off rate, if I fail to pay a farmer to look after my tree. That doesn't sound too bad, but considering that you have to wait the best part of a full day for the tree to grow, I find this intolerable. Personally I pay the farmers every time, and on the rare occassions that I cannot do so, I always make sure that I use a supercompost, and my nature ammy if available. In addition to this, I suspect that payments may become easier to come by once the Exchange is released this week :)

UEFA Champions League/Cup - Euro 2008 - Leagues & Cups
Before losing 6 - 0 in the return leg if my memory serves me correctly :wink: I think only Wales have an impossible group in this draw though. I'm glad we got the smallest group.... fewer games to play yay! It's a tough group though. It's been two decades since we last beat Norway, and the last time we played Holland, they beat us 6-0 lol.

UK population could soar to 90m
Yup, we're thinking about renaming our country to the United Kingdom of Pakistan, India and Poland ;) Seriously, I suspect the majority of that 90m will be the result of mass immigration and high birth rates from underprivilaged families. But what else can you expect? Our entire wellfare system is designed to encourage this, deliberate or otherwise. Young children are encouraged to have a child before they're no longer one themselves with insane benefit offers, free council houses etc... We have virtually no immigration control with a sizable percentage of our revenues being used to "integrate" them into our country. Free healthcare and education regardless of taxes paid, and a ludicrous "justice" system. That report is pretty accurate so far as I can tell. rant>

��â�š���¥��â�š���¤Jagex, Copy and Paste?��â�š���¤��â�š���
I'm not convinced that the responses are automated since if that were true, I wouldn't have to wait over a day for the reply. I tend to find that the main body of the reply appears to have been created by a genuine staff member, with the template at the end advising that I should visit the KB for future information. I also find that most replies are unecessarily cryptic and don't directly answer the question, but since most of my questions are very direct, I'm sure it's just Jagex way of answering me without giving out too much information.

Yews
I use the three trees just north of Varrock castle (within the grounds). It's usually pretty quiet, despite there typically being at least one bot on each world.

getting to 73 hunting
I used falconry from about 60 onwards before switching to chinchompas at level 73. By about level 70 I was tracking at an average of about 45k experience per hour, hunting dark kebbits, then dashing kebbits. The main thing that slowed me down was dropping furs and bones, but 45k is achievable if you concentrate.

Anyone else been getting crazy lag?
1. Try using a different world. It might just be a change to your favourite server. 2. Try using low detail 3. Make sure no other stuff is running that's hogging your bandwidth 4. Scan for virus and spyware.... many of these programs will eat up your bandwidth. For more info', you should check the Technical Support forum :)

Long/Shortbow affected by distance?
I truthfully haven't noticed the slightest difference with accuracy or power by vary the range to a target. I don't think anyone has tested this before though, since I've never seen a post about it. It's probably quite difficult to test anyway.

Any gigs lined up, chaps?
Just bought two tickets for Marylin Manson at the Glasgow Braehead Arena on December 8th. Really looking forward to it, since I haven't seen him live yet. I hear he's totally awesome live and really knows how to put on a show.

Beowulf
I can guarantee that pretty much everyone that says it sucked, says so because they didn't see it in true 3D. Yer, the plot wasn't particularily good, but that's not what the movie was about. It was about the 3D action, and that's what I based my own rating on.
