How do you guys manage to maintain relationships and social lives as well as play games? Oh and also work in-between?


I have to limit myself to playing games I know are boring because otherwise I get so completely roped in I forget to do things like eat, sleep and speak to people.


I have been fighting off the temptation to join my friends on WoW for the last year. That and to get an Xbox 360 so I can see what Test Drive Unlimited is like online.

WoW is a bit of a life eater, I have to ban myself from MMORPGs, but the likes pf Halo 3 and Project gotham can be quite quick hit experiences.

Plus the missus has been living abroad during the week for most of the year, and gaming helps to keep me out of the pub.

I do conciously avoid the MMORPGs because I would likely get too addicted.


One thing that has kept me out of too much trouble lately is not having a decent enough PC to run the games I want properly. Otherwise I suspect I might end up single again!

There's an end in sight with Baldurs Gate, likewise Oblivion.

Some of the guys I played WoW with (I played for about 14 months, gave up almost 2 years ago) are still playing most evenings to this day.

I'd love to call them sad, but then I remember what those 14 moths were like. (great btw)

    • Years ago, I adopted a moggie from Battersea… thought it was 6:7 but was actually 10… great mog though… no checks at all as in home check.. spoke to me about cat ownership, had several before, paid my money and off we went. I do get what they are trying to do totally and agree.. having said that, RSPCA think that is the one, Near cemetery in Norwood, until last year was offering free microchipping & s’thing else… Realistically, really is a drop in the ocean as more cats in London and surrounds… was just totally surprised as to the amount and obv each area is different ….   
    • "Surely easy enough for a native like yourself " assumptions, assumptions, assumptions, not a good starting point.  Now as we've been getting along so well, let's not spoil it. We can be the same but different as well.  I speak like a native, educated like a native, worked as and with other natives, look like a native but I'm not one of them. See theirs this thing called indirect prejudice, have a surname that isn't that of a native and some, a minority I agree, will try and have one over on you, because they think they're better, or you're inferior to them. When you've experienced it first hand, you don't forget and get ready for the next time, then call it out, they don't like that.  They don't appreciate that being part British having been born here but as I also have  continental ancestry, which I am proud off, it gives me a different perspective of living amongst the natives here, so I can not, nor do I ever want to be a native here. I am me and they are what they are. 
    • Are parcels for EVRi now being accepted at East Dulwich post office? On Monday I tried to return something there but, because Evri hadn’t collected  all the returns from the previous day, there was no space for any more and I had a wasted journey 😤
    • It’s allowed. Just weirdly unnecessary.  Surely easy enough for a native like yourself  or do we  foreigners have to teach ye everything?
