Seems a bit ott alright.
Although, would rolling up to the Jackpot at 3am blootered with hawkeye technology strapped to your noggin aid or hinder your chances of getting into a game?Is that how you crash a wedding? yes it is, Bionic Barry, yes it is.

This is true, we go from 20 degrees and sunny one day to mild and raining the next.
Definitely a bit of a risk, but there's nowhere I can think of in February within a short flight of Ireland thats guaranteed sun...sigpic

I had a rough time going to Thailand because there was a young couple with 2 infants across the aisle. It was probably worse than most cases and I wouldn't begrudge a young family going on a holiday even after it. This makes me realise that i'm a great person.
I seen another family had the kids in their pj's (a onesie?) for the whole trip which seemed like a great ideas to keep them less cranky.

Tks
Kempenski is my favourite hotel. Shemansani the area its in is the best area for hanging out in the evenings.
A Day trip to Petra is mandatory absolutely amazing place you will need a full day there. Don't hire any camels or horses along the way but do take a Donkey for the last part of the visit to the Monastary. You can take a bus (about a two hour trip) from any of the hotels just make sure you are leaving early and returning after dark.
Another great day out is to take a car in the same direction but through the hills instead of the desert road and visit Madaba, Wadi Mujib, Karak and back via a Dead sea resort hotel.
There are lots of other interesting places to visit in Jordan but those two are musts IMO.
Haven't been to either of the others yet but the Souk in Damascus is supposed to be well worth a visit.Turning millions into thousands

From summer 2010 until now, Swedish Television has been following the secretive media network WikiLeaks and its enigmatic Editor-in-Chief Julian Assange.

Thanks a lot for the offer though, very good of you.
I'm sure one will turn up, even if I end up buying a new one it won't be the end of the world.

Once I learned that spell it pretty much ruined it - I gave up doing anything other than running past the bad guys to the bottom of a dungeon and grabbing the quest item. Got pretty boring because of it...

Originally posted by Keane View PostWow that place looks like the sicknessOriginally posted by Raoul Duke III View Postactually sp, the room rates are surprisingly low-ish. About £200 per night.
You'd get nothing for that money in London atm
The whole country is a place I would highly recommend for a holiday and a taste of what real Arab Culture is like. As a family trip it might be wasted on very small kids, much better for when they can appreciate the place a bit better IMO (i.e when they can pay their own way there )Turning millions into thousands

pain in the hole getting vampirism as it takes a good 5-6 hours of a side quest to get rid of it but it helped me finish the Arena faction side quest which unlocked some petty cool stuff.
Also save regularly - I got booted from the mages guild and it saved automatically before I could restart (another 2-3 hours spent trying to get back in)
Yeah I know Im a nerd but i balance all of this out with some COD

Ok, next time someone posts a link here to them trolling somewhere on boards there will be a ban handed out. I see several here have posted over there in that magic thread for some reason and that's what I want to prevent. I know it's a bit of craic, but it isn't something I like to see as I'd like to think we had moved past that.

I'm still partial to sneaking up behind someone and loping off their head, but I don't use invisibility at all. I tend to favour the whole "through the front door and fight my way past whoever happens to be there" approach.
I also spend far too much time breaking into houses/bars/castles and stealing everything I can get my hands on. That might be something for Hotspur though

It should never happen, but it does. Just switched off the console at that point for the sake of sanity!
