I am a scouser, I am sure I can get past the blockade

And hello to all the people from the UK

who know how to drive on the correct side of the road

. I am sure we can take this place over eventually.

Oh, man did I say that out loud

. Oh well lads the secret's out, man your positions and break out the ammuntion

And on another note has anyone seen Bothered. Unless he's changed his name and is lurking around here.

Yeah, but I'll get a really good one

. Besides, I don't drink. Although I guess I'll still need to keep my bottles of coke cold.

IBC Rootbeer is pretty tasty at room temp.. But Coke/Pepsi/Whatever is best served frosty..

One of the traits I never picked up from my "British" side..

(Of course my Grandma never did like cold soda... and my mum doesn't seem to care either way... Of course she came to the sates when she was about 3, so she probably never picked up that trait since most soda is served chilled here...)

Cheap, room temperature soda is such a throwback to my days working as a programmer. It's one of those things where every time I drink warm cola I'm instantly transported in time, sitting at my workstation, banging away at the keyboard. Ah... The life and times of the geek.

Less than a week old and we already have topics that go O/T in less than 10 posts. I think that's a bad omen or something.

Nice to see that we have such a strong prescense. Maybe we ought to have a massive UT contest to see who is better, once and for all - US vs UK!!

I don't live in UK, but everyone seems to drive on the wrong side of the road... Brit style. I'm just about through with my Year 11 British Examinations, often referred to by a large majority of the population as the International General Ceritificate of Secondary Education, which in turn, is commonly referred to as the IGCSEs, which in turn, is often referred to as "The Exam". It sounds complicated, but its not. Really.

Alrite! Spinner.. Prime challenged me earlier.. reckoning he can kick my arse at UT. Gonna have to setup a little tournament.

Some 1vs1.. then some teams.. then a free-for-all deathmatch.. then as a finale..

What version of Unreal Tournament are we talking about here?

I've never played either of them very much. Counter-Strike, on the other hand! If I started playing that again I'll bet I could whoop some Brit bottom.

Takes me a week or two to get warmed up though.
