Well guys, just finishing off beer #4 (4x regular Kronenbourg 1664 tonight), just had a damn good game in BF2 in Gotland #04 (I think) in Karkand. There was this guy called pawe06 (175115216) I think he's Swedish, so that's why I'll forgive him to not responding to my calls of "PAWE HEAL ME YOU DOUCHEBAG!" and "PAWE FUKCKING HEAL ME DICKBREATH!", anyway he's a lance corporal, and to be fair, he did start healing and reviving. Anyway, BF2 fucking crashed to desktop, although it was a veeeery long round, I got some good points in.

Well, what can I say, but what a fantastic start to 2009 and SMEG's 10th anniversary year! Sadly, the Sportsbar was closed, this completely threw us, as it is our usual first drinking spot on any night out, not a huge problem though, as we set off to the Garratt, which was definitely worth visiting as the barmaids were buxom and wonderful and was very nearly nursing a semi at one point while being served, lovely girls!

After a drink or two in The Salisbury, we made our way to Jilly's to get out of the freezing cold, I expected Manchester to be much busier, maybe everyone was staying home to stay out of the cold. No kiss at midnight, but still, teh music was good and the drinks were flowing, I was drinking plenty of water this time, which I knew I'd be glad of doing the day after.

I am typing this with what I think to be throat infection, almost certainly thanks to Alexis, thank you, also met a lovely blonde, whose name escapes me, but we have each others numbers anyway. Looking forward to going out again, I love that whole promiscuous stuff, realistically, I think Valentine's night (a Saturday) may be the next time I will be at Jilly's, let's hope more good things are to come for 2009!

Currently listening to Floorpunch....

Hmmmm Friday, which means beer and BF2! I am now in the top 100,000 players in BF2, had a damn good game with RtK and =EAF=TomFoster in the EAF server (Karkand). My next goal is to get in the top 10,000 then the top 1000, 100 and ultimately the top 10!

In other news, you may have heard that YouTube are putting in place stricter rules on content, most notably 'profanity' (Awful Americanism) and 'Sexually suggestive' videos. Basically, any video which has 'profanity' or sexual content will be demoted, think about this, this is American Puritanism in action, but hang on one second, let's remember that YouTube LLC is a private company, they aren't a public service, which I think is a fact many people seem to forget, YouTube can restrict or delete videos however it likes, YouTube has become such an important part of our online lives that it seems we have forgot this fact.

<rtk> "01:17 - RTk leaks the lizard!!" /U

So yeah, don't blame YouTube or Americans, YouTube is an American site, but it's also a private business, I say to anyone, if you wish to create a truly 'free' and open video sharing site, then do it, the Pirate Bay equivalent of YouTube might be interesting, although then again it may just be filled with porn and hate, who knows!

Dudes... I have three fucking beers left - yooooooooooooosh!

It's 05:00 as I write this. I have just brushed my teeth and I am ready for bed, no sign of rtk tonight, had a good game in BF2 in uKm before and EAF earlier this evening. I am so near my goal of 30,000 points I can smell it, although I still neeed 50,000 before I can reach my next rank.

By the way, had four 1664s tonight, the normal kind, not the widget sort, anyway, earlier this evening I completed leg #3 of my epic around the world trip in X-Plane. I flew in my trusty King Air B350 from Mont-Joli, Quebec, Canada to Schefferville, Quebec, Canada. I'll tell you, the weather was fucking awful, I'm amazed I got down in one piece, it's damn good to be in the comfort of my hut now, although the locals don't speak much English.... anywaaaaay, my target is to get to Nuuk, Greenland soon, then it will hopefully be plain, or should that be 'plane' sailing to Reykjavik and then onto the Faroe Islands and the UK!

Erm, in other news, well there's not much else to report except that I now have 43 things to be getting on with and that's about it, I'm very lazy at the moment, apart from the X-Plane stuff, I'm doing very little, I hope the other guy sorts me out, anyway, quite drunk here and desperately in need of sleep, bye for now!
