He was very good! The air-con was broken in the venue so it was horribly hot and sweaty, and he did say some frankly mean things about Shepton Mallet, but otherwise a fantastic time was had.

I was in East Berlin in the mid 1980s, december time, and it was beginning to rain, then it got heavier and turned to snow. Which was very exciting. I said to Mummy A how good it was that it was snowing so close to Christmas. She said it wasn't snowing, but raining. This disappointed me, a lot and I protested. So much so she sought out a communist party official. He confirmed it was raining. I began to protest more but she cut me off, saying "Rudolph the red knows rain, dear".

What a bloody farce that was. Our 10.55 flight eventually took off at 20.50, we arrive at Schonefeld, not Tegel and eventually got to the hotel at 00.50 local.
It was 28C during that rain, having dropped from 33C earlier. It's a bit too warm to be exploring Berlin and we've lost half a day due to BA blowing a fuse in their IT centre. So we're making the most of it and have vowed to return for longer at a cooler time of year. Another day to go. We're going to tear up the Oranienburger Strasse this evening

Go to X-Terrain; it's like someone took a crack a den and did the bare minimum required to make it into a cosy wee pub. It's fucking awesome.

Nope! Clearly we need to insult him more.

High flying!

Does that mean my contact that has the most viewed profile out of all my (4, 5?) contacts, or the one that I have viewed the most, as I don't know that I've ever viewed a profile on there.

Mimi · **Joined:** 27th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 25594

I signed in. I had ten contacts and three pending ones. All awesome.

Indeed. Horrific.
I am finding it important to note, that after grieving for the victims of the Manchester bombing, the response is to put on an even bigger, and better concert there.

This is a really interesting read cheers.

Most of the time when I read about game development it always sounds like a complete miracle that anything made it out in one piece on release date. Is that pretty much the norm in the industry?

Shaved my goatee off yesterday to allow a full beard to grow. Took an hour for someone to comment on this at work.
