… why not somewhere nice and central like Nottingham… we could all stay at Mr Lensmans, and hopefully see some gun culture!
Hang on a sec – I’m not even in XDC 🙂 !!!
Don’t worry abut the guns – nobody in their right minds would go drinking in the Meadows or St Annes bits where there are the real problems. Especially not a bunch of pasty faced game geeks 🙂 The town centre is fine.
It’s all the blokes in Lincoln green tights you have to worry about….

(Hello!)
I’m loathe to purchase another “EA charging for what should be free” module
Why should it be free? A bunch of people are paid to create this add-on – should it be charity?
I think it’s been said before, but for a game called “Armoured Fury”, there’s a helluva lot of pictures of planes and choppers and hardly any of tanks.
One of the funnier bits is in the reply blog, where other people pop up to defend him, and yet the poor use of English and phrasing is identical.

[/url]I’ve no video either – all Sky+ for me. I did look on the BBC website to see if available for doanload, but sadly no. Could not find a Torrent for it either.
Nice one Turks. I managed to quit about 8 years ago – best thing I ever did. No more reeking of smoke; no more waking up in the morning with a cough; loads more free money to spend; long distance flying much easier, etc.
If you need an incentive to give up, add up what you really spend on smokes. Be really honest with it. Added up over even a month, let alone a year, just think if you used that money to buy a car, house, or invest.
Aside from the money, the real trigger for me making a genuine attempt at giving up (as opposed to one imposed by nagging from the ball & chain), was the realisation that I unconciously planned my day around when I could have a smoke. Meetings, phone calls, even social visits to places all ended up being planned around fag-breaks. If you ever have the thought that you need to have a fag now because due to something happening you may not get another chance for 5 hours, then that is the time to realise that smoking controls your life.
So the biggest benefit I actually got from giving up was freedom.
Giving up was a bitch, but just go from hour to hour, then day to day, and week to week. You do eventually either stop thinking about it, or get into the frame of mind that if I have a smoke now, that’s a waste of the last 5 hours of effort. If I have one today, then that’s a waste of the last few days since I had my last one. Etc. You get the idea.
I think I may change career paths and become a “Life Coach” – aka a “PLOMFTB”*
