No it was just made like that originally to make the staff stand out more as our titles weren't recognised as staff titles at first and we needed something else except those and different colour user names to make us stand out from regular members.

We give and take away...ah, the power...

Where's Steve?

Angel · 04-25-2007, 05:27 PM

I ate him.

Nah, he's sitting in the other house waiting for the Virgin Media guys to come round and hook up the broadband internet thingy...bloke came round yesterday and had to fling the cable over our roof and then, in typical engineer fashion, said he didn't have all the parts he needed to complete the job and so had to come back today to finish it. Was meant to be here before lunch and it is now 4.27pm and I've been stuck indoors all day like an idiot waiting for him...

No doubt he'll come online later

Hm.. Not trying to be a pest or anything, but I PMed Steve quite a while ago about the problem with the top stats?

When I click top 10 stats, and then try and change it to anything other than 10(eg. Top 100) It just brings me back to the main forum page.

Virgin Media? Now THAT's an interesting name, wonder what the background to that would be.

Nontheless, when this gets fixed, does that mean you two will be online on a bit more.. regular basis? Because the Tsuyu has been missing you guys lately.

Virgin. "Virgin"!. As sexy as it might be, it is sorta a stupid name aint it? I mean, a virgin has never done... "it". So Virgin Media could be seen as "We've never done Media".

Haha. "Virgin - Once we pop we can't stop."

(FunFact: My Dad went to college with Richard Branson... Infact, He was my Dad's roommate. Unfortunately I'm sure Mr. Branson has forgotten my Dad by now, as he is never mentioned and I have not met him).

Whatever High School, College in the UK is different than College in the USA.

Anyway, my dad joined the air force when he was like 18. And I am 100% sure it's thesame dude, as even My grandma knows they were friends.(lol)
