Back online!

[slycat]

My NTL cable connection has been down since sometime tuesday.  Only now been able to get back online.  It gave me plenty of time to play Fable, in that I got to the final boss yesterday... just can't beat him.  My mobile was also cut off on Monday, managed to get it switched back on Tuesday evening.  GPRS wasn't re-enabled though so still no net.  Should have GPRS back tomorrow.

Work has been quite a nightmare this week but it's mostly OK now.  Thank god it's the weekend very soon is all I can say.  I'll be going to Bath for a change as there's a meet there.  Should be interesting.

I beat him by just running round in circles firing flame-augmented arrows at him...If your multi-arrow skill is quite high, that helps too :)

I'll see you at the Bath meet!

I decided my skill levels weren't high enough cos I just did the main quests and never bothered with the main ones. So now I'm playing it again and am doing my best to be as evil as possible this time >:D

I found it took ages, being evil- the guards are quite hard, lol

So, if this is being held at someone's own warren, it would be a Bathhouse Meeting?

Mm, lovely city.. used to be home to some excellent burgers (and that's not a food I sing about often), at Schwartz Brothers. I gather they're still around, but nowhere near the same - their garlic mayonnaise burger was fabulous, with no shortage of fresh garlic, and the burgers were genuinely flame grilled. Good stuff. (Aside from those, the only other commercial burgers I'd make a point of revisiting is Mos Burger. Exceptionally tasty burgers, and with some novel wrinkles, such as offering 1cm thick rice circles instead of bread buns on some of them, with one "meat" option being a similar disc of tempura prawns. And, despite being a fast food joint, your food is brought to your table)

How well does GPRS work? Are there are flat-rate data plans? I'd go for something along those lines, but I'm not fond of "oops, another mail check! That'll be 50p, please." billing, nor the anaemic traffic allowance I've seen on some plans.

I wasn't aware Bath was famous for it's burgers of all things, I may well have to keep an eye out.

With GPRS, I pay for what I use. It's like £2.35 per meg but as all I use it for is email and viewing live journal (perhaps using IRC on occaison), my data transfer is minimal.
