Pete, thanks for the links, that is VERY cool. Hope we can do it again SOON!

You're welcome.

So, um, Pete, if this does happen, do you give Halo Lessons?

Oh, just pop on Xbox live they'll school you good and proper. You'll even learn new lows in swearing, racism, enuciation and just plain old I.Q. Yeah, it's a loony-bin.

Onto your question, I'd be happy to show people the ropes, so people have a better understanding of the weapons & maps, though you can learn all of the former and more by playing the campaign, which is worth it. Much of it is just practise, but yes, I'm happy to show people the ropes. When I'm not on a deadline.

Kristin & ND; I love Scrabble.

Bring it! Uh... sometime in the future.

Bring it!

Great! Then we can have a whole NEW meaning for, "You Peted!" Along with its current usage as "failing to hit anything while playing a driving game in which you are supposed to hit things," it can also mean "failing to score more than 5 points on a Scrabble word!"

Duly noted. I look forward to the scrabble-beating you shall receive, urchin.

Hey, if I were afraid of bear-baiting, would I really be with ND?

Katefate! It's good to see you around.

{{{{DJ}}}}, {{{{Beej}}}}, and {{{{ND}}}}. The universe really needs to lay off the Bitches. Punctuation and ~ma to those who need it.

So, um, hi! I hope everyone had a non-traumatic holiday.

I've heard people get tired of pasta, bread and cheese, but I'm having trouble coming to terms with it. I guess I'll have to go to Italy.

Ditto. Cindy can come with me. We'll stay at my parents' place on the beach, have espresso and a cornetto in the mornings, and let my relatives stuff us to the gills.

Hil, I hope you're having a good time.

Meep!!

Sorella, can I come too? Pretty please? I'll practice my vast lexicon of...four...Italian words!

It could mean "how adorable a player can look whilst playing Scrabble" if you prefer.

Of course, Kristin! There's plenty of room.

Give ND a hug and a pinch on the bum for me, willya? It may not make him feel any better, but at least he'll have something else to think about for a few seconds.
