    Won my last two games on time outs - takes all the fun out of it - especially as they were both close games

    I agree which is why I like to start and finish in the same weekend at the very least , preferably to sit down for 2 or 3 hrs and have a good game to completion!
    2 or 3 hrs have been rare hence I havent been on the site for a while , bet you lot can all thrash me now your all practised up!

    I was only joking, you're in the lead vs me! I haven't played online for a while, had waaaaaaaay too much stuff on recently. My plans to go to France for a month have been ruined by my flatmate moving out, no holiday for me this year :(

    How's life as a Mod? You feeling the stress yet?

    Would take you up on that if I had the time, I'm going to be really busy til October. The lady I'm courting at the mo is off to Amsterdam next week, and it's taking a lot of willpower for me not to follow too! <laugh>

    Trying to get a job that's a bit more interesting, I'm bored of websites. Might move to France towards Xmas to make video games, rent is so much cheaper there!! I could get a lovely 1 bed flat for about 400&#8364; <yikes>

    Hi H! How's things?

    Yep I saw the thread, I didn't vote because my finances are a bit hit-and-miss and I'm not sure where I'm going to be this year. I should be making it to Southampton though, I'll definitely come find you guys for a drink or 12 :)

    I've played a couple of games recently set to either 1 day or 2 days rather than 3 which does tend to be a bit slow - I lik the 1 day game as I can usually check at least once a day - anything shorter is no good as I cannot get many prolonged spells at the keyboard
