Luckily, I probably won't have to drive the car again, so I'm in the clear from the ole' cock meets acid situation.
I was going to say I'd put it in vinegar as a bit of a cop-out, but I bet that'd sting like a fucker too.
Easy for someone who lives in London to say
Where do you live?
Yeah, it is a vaid excuse, but you could most likely still make it work if you wanted to if the issue was purely distance, I think is the point

Whenever I get back to Scotland we're having a meetup in Edinburgh or Glasgow.

Its kinda funny how in England we're like "it's an hour away? fuck that" when you hear about lunatics in the states who'll drive 5 hours to go to concerts all the time.
In the US, 100 years is a long time. In the UK, 100 miles is a long way.
Yas! Take that Londoners!

I think I'm up to about a year now without fast food, but it's very difficult to refrain when drunk!
EDIT: And of course any health improvements made by abstaining are more than counteracted by the alcohol calories

WRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRY
Why have I never heard this before? That's awesome.
Ehh, I don't mind long driving if it's not for work, to be honest.
I'd drive 10 hours to see Radiohead without a second thought.

How d'you know? No one has bothered organising a northern meet up to see if any of us would come. I've already said I'd come to any Scottish meet up arranged.

Except in London, where it takes an hour to get anywhere.
I'd be willing to visit Newcastle or Manchester for a meetup. Hell, I might be down in Manchester to see Pearl Jam in February so if there's a meetup a day before or after the gig then I'm there!
I'll be hanging out at the Oran Mor in the West End this Saturday if any gaffer feels like having a chat.

Whilst I've said I'd organise a Scottish meet-up, the earliest I'll be back home is probably late next year due to my health issues. That gives aw yoose Sassensachs and Taffies plenty ae time tae start savin' yer pennies.

How much were you earning per month before?
HNGHHHHHH
This is the new NFS? I don't tend to follow racing games.

I worked for a local government in Scotland in 2007/2008 when the whole Single Status debacle hit.
With great timing, everyone got their letters of their new payscale/salary a few days before Christmas 2007. Most people I knew were £5000-8000 down the shitter - especially the loyal employees with over 5 years service (which in the civil service means 80% of the staff.) I have never seen a greater morale dump in my entire life - which was only matched by the number of strikes, union membership applications and a good number of people taking early retirement and/or fucking off to the private sector.
Time to start firing off CVs I think, Spookie.

Thing to do probably, is just write it without overthinking it.
I've always had this problem with writing stuff, but it turns out I'm a way better editor than I am a writer - so whatever stupid guff I come up with first time round I can always edit the hell out of it afterwards.
I think it was Gore Vidal who, when asked how he set about research, said the he writes the book first, because then he knows what he has to research.
Just write the damn thing. Nobody else will see it until you have fiddled with it to your satisfaction, plot holes and all.
Talk to them maybe?
I spent a lot of my life talking to tramps/drunks/skanks, possibly even chavs - whatever they are. Might even make a difference to some of them sometimes. Last time I had a burglar I asked if he fancied a cup of tea and we had a good old chat in the kitchen through the small hours and I like to think it did him a bit of good.

It'll be waaaaaaaaaaaay better. Criterion are the greatest developers in this country.

Burnout Paradise was the first game I Platinum'd. I loved that game - even if the final stretch on getting that Platinum was an absolute chore.
I'd love a straight up Vita racing game like Burnout Legends though. I spent a shitload of time with that UMD in my PSP.

Yeah, that's the one!
There are a lot of different elements in the book to think about and what tipped me over the edge in deciding to hold off was seeing Dishonored.
I've got this steampunky kinda setting, then I see what Dishonored did with steampunk (made it fresh and interesting by inventing Whale-Oil Punk) and I want something to make MY world stand out too.
It can all come in time!

Ideally, I'd like them to have the opportunity to create a brand new game, and NFS as a brand is so vague at this point they can basically do anything so long as it involves cars, which is close enough. So I'm happy.
Beats EA's god-awful efforts at making NFS games, anyway. Most Wanted was the last good one before Ward and the gang stepped in, and even that's a step short of true greatness.
Shots fired.
I was making a joke about the stereotype. Probably should have made that clear. It appears to upset some of you.
Nope. MD is panicking about the core business losing money hand over fist. He knee jerks trying to find ways to recover the money. He's already blanket fired all of the field staff who brought in new subscribers to the magazine. Now I imagine he's going to lose most of his sales staff due to a 30-60% wage cut. Just needed to get that off my chest as my brain is spinning at the moment.
Oh and thanks for the book recommendations y'day. Never did get round to saying that. I got distracted by X-COM.
easily done!
