You're not supposed to keep track of these things when they aren't favorable!

Shouldn't you be playing with rocks and or lava?

Well, they had planned to play him, and I think they didn't want to switch out at the last minute because Benny had a fever. It would have been tough for Batch, and we probably would have just lost by more.

Also, Ben was doubled over by a low hit in the 4th, and may give him complications from his recent appendectomy. He's cursed now, I swear. Sold his soul for that Super Bowl win, I think.

I have considered that option several times already but unfortunately lack a sufficiently robust and in-depth knowledge of the UK politics/parliamentary system to be able to contribute effectively and constructively to the discussions here. I'm trying to learn the ropes though by observing this forum, which explains my occasional presence here.

well, he was playing how he would at 100% fitness, which is obviously very ambitiously offensive, whereas he could have played more conservatively and got a better result - there were very few rushing yards from the steelers IIRC, which was likely to their detriment.

And - yea...I saw that hit - lets hope it doesn't have too great an effect

The easiest way to learn is through practice - behind the scenes many VMPs are inactive, so I'm sure the parties would have someone entusiastic participating than just voting despite being knowledgeable - so I'd urge you to get involved...if not only to speed your learning - the general politics and ethics aren't vastly different to most modern nations.

Yup, the terminology and procedurs here are very unique though. I wonder what activity on the various parties' subforums are like.

Besides, why would I ever want to expose myself to being potentially warned by you, Mr Minimod?

I'll think about it; thanks for the encouragement.

Seconded, also to marmalade for what is toast without a satisfyingly sweet topping.

I can warn you anyway, even if you aren't a party member actually, being a party member is a good way of not getting warned... so just give it a go!

I cant talk for other parties, but the Conservative forum is relatively active I'd be surprised if any of the 4 or 5 active parties had inactive forums though.

And - IainM, go ahead

Hi there! Can I buy you a drink?

Oh, incidentally, for those considering tapping-up, I might be open to a change of contract if the right conditions were met. Political and otherwise.
