    Christ I'm only 200 points or so from the top of the Sun Dream Team leaderboard. That's not much at all. Also only 60 points from top 100.

    Oh I don't mean you specifically, just the irony of a girl complaining about guys being in herds when girls are always in herds! Quite amusing

    Anyhow, screw it. I can't be arsed to go clubbing, I feel pretty terrible and I can get just as drunk here for barely any of the price.

    I'll go next week, unless I can find someone who wants to go to Strada avec moi.

    1st place gets 60k! Not very likely. But I've got a genuine shot of at least £100 for finishing 8th-100th. Prize money goes up from 7th to 1st.

    Once again, I'm appalled but not surprised.

    Newcastle Brown Ale.

    It's a beer that I've had the pleasure of drinking on the odd occasion, notably in my teenage years on overnight fishing trips to Stoneham Lakes or Marchwood Priory, during the summertime. So I have pleasant memories of it, even though I don't drink it now and incidentally, nor have I fished since then. But I always saw it as a genuine serious beer, not something for just making money with. So it came as a bit of a surprise to find out that they [Heineken, oh dear, that's not a good sign..!] have put a caramel colouring in it to make it look authentic. This apparently, has been flagged up by USA customers as potentially carcinogenic. Well now they are going to put roasted malt in it instead to achieve the same aim.

    Which is what they should have had in the bloody thing in the first place. Well done USA. You're learning.

    I'm trying to point out that it really is a good option. The only tip I'd give is, write your ad quickly. If you do that it has your character all over it. If you overwork it, it ends up looking like every other one. When I did mine, it took about 30 seconds to write. A woman at work (who didn't know I'd advertised) was reading the ads, walked over to me, pointed to my ad and said "That's you". I denied it and she said "either you're lying or there's someone exactly like you in Cambridge". That's what you want yours to be like.

    Here's mine "Young, sexy-stud muffin looking for my Hermoine to your Ron Weasley. Extra house points for Hufflepuffs"

    That took me all of about 10 seconds

    I'd hazard a guess that a lot of the girls that would go for that, you don't want to see naked.

    Don't think there are many girls a young lad doesn't want to see naked.

    I disagree. PL's ad would end up with girls whose Patronus is a cake.

    Are you implying that the girls in question would be of the larger proportion? Well, firstly I wouldnn't have anything against that, as such although I've never dated a larger girl but I'd have nothing against dating a larger girl, secondly Harry Potter in my fans tend to be of.... I guess average size? Maybe size 12 or something? I don't know what size corrsponds to what number.

    Try Slytherin girls, everybody knows the bad ones are more fun.

    By the way, Slytherin isn't a verb in this case
