So how are things Martin? We haven't seen you quite as much as usual lately. Family and job keeping you busy?

You could say that I'm on another course, so I've only really got weekends off for a while.

So your away from Brize Norton?

No, it's a course run by the RAF here at Brize. The RB-211 Q-course, happy times. It's worth some decent stuff out in civvy street though, with the equivalent civvy qualification I could almost emigrate to Canada with that alone And I've got 3 of them, although I'm not sure why I'd want to go to Canada.

When my former character kissed Morrigan, she kept her eyes open. When my current character kisses Lelianna, she has her eyes closed.

Nice touch again, Bioware; good subtle display of the difference between the two NPCs.

I've not noticed that, although my char seems to have got Alistair interested in her so...

My first run through ended up with a romance with Morrigan, and some other stuff It all turned out OK in the end mind.

I'm going to agree with Steve on this, it was not all rap. We had Oasis, Blur, The Verve, Pulp, Ocean Colour Scene, Stone Roses, James, Garbage, Men at Work. There was some good stuff towards the end as well, the Stereophonics and Travis.


And, er, Take That, Boyzone and the Spice Girls


I've got to admit to a bit of 80's nostalgia though. The Clash, Elvis Costello, Genesis. Dear Thread I'm uncool And the Kinks.

If liking The Clash, Elvis Costello, Genesis and the Kinks is "uncool", I guess that's what I am. Blur, Garbage and The Verve were good.

Loathed Oasis, though. My Good Thread, they sucked.

Well, there are some nice places in Canada , but if you are thinking of switching to the Canadian Armed forces I'm not sure you'd find the same satisfaction as you have in the RAF. I've found that the smaller the forces, the less the oportunities.

I'm happy where I am, for now. Maybe if I didn't have a family to look after I'd consider moving into civvy street, but a guaranteed 25k is better than a maybe 50k.

I went through with it, I didn't have much choice or I'd have been mageless. And upset Alistair enough to make him leave. And I killed Wynne and Zevran early in the game. Shale did well for me though, not bad for a freebie

I had originally planned to save up money to buy a new PC sometime in the next year, but you can't really beat instant gratification. Okay, semi-instant, because I don't get it until Wednesday.

Ah, that rare occasion when the UPS guy (or the local equivalent) becomes your best friend.

Actually, there's a computer shop in my apartment building, where I buy all my hardware. When you have to lug a 20lb computer home without a motorized vehicle, it helps if the walk takes all of 3 minutes.

Some of it. I was listening to the radio recently and The Cranberries came on (Zombie). You have to admit it was a pretty good song.

EDIT: Well, OK, that wasnt grunge. But it was good 90s music.

I'm not ashamed to admit that I was a grunge fan: Soundgarden, Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains. Loathed Nirvana; Kurt Cobain was the epitome of scumbagginess...

I liked Oasis, they peaked with What's the Story. Their recent stuff was pretty pants really, except the importance of being idle. But that's just one song.

I think the only band since 2000 that's made it onto my playlist is the Kaiser Chiefs. The Verve stopped me from going mental in Al Udeid a couple of summers ago, almost every radio station was playing Kid Rock's song. BFBS was playing Love is Noise instead.
