agreed, well said

Obviously my sympathies goes out to all the families affected, but bombings are something that the British people are familar with and have always dealt with without resorting to mass hysteria unlike other countries. The UK has dealt with 30 years of bombings from the IRA who were finacial supported by the Americans and the only way it was stopped was to bring these terrorists to the negotiation table. If you dont give people a voice or if you choose not to listen then they will always find a way to get your attention. 1971: Bomb explodes in Post Office tower 1971: Bomb demolishes crowded Belfast pub 15 dead 1972: IRA bomb kills six at Aldershot barracks 1973: Bomb blasts rock central London 1974: Soldiers and children killed in coach bombing 12 dead 1974: Dublin and Monaghan bomb kills 23 1974: IRA bombs parliament 11 injured 1974: Bomb blast at the Tower of London 1 dead 41 injured 1974: Four dead in Guildford bomb blasts 1974: Bomb blast in London club 1974: Minister's wife survives bomb attack 1974: Birmingham pub blasts kill 19 1975: London Hilton bombed 1975: Bomb blasts rock Northern Ireland 1976: Ten dead in Northern Ireland ambush 1976: Explosions rock London's West End 1979: IRA bomb kills Lord Mountbatten 1979: Soldiers die in Warrenpoint massacre 1982: IRA bombs cause carnage in London 1982: RUC officers killed by IRA bomb 1983: Harrods bomb blast kills six 1984: Tory Cabinet in Brighton bomb blast 1987: Bomb kills 11 at Enniskillen 1989: IRA bombs Tern Hill barracks 1989: Ten dead in Kent barracks bomb 1992: Bomb explosions in Manchester 64 injured 1993: Child killed in Warrington bomb attack 56 injured 1993: IRA bomb devastates City of London 1996: Docklands bomb ends IRA ceasefire 1996: Bomb blast destroys London bus 1996: Huge explosion rocks central Manchester 1998: Dozens die in Omagh bombing 2001: Second blast at London post office 2001: Car bomb in west London injures seven

Us Brits need to make up our minds wether we are in or out of Europe, sure there is pros and cons for both sides of the arguement but this half hearted approach is damaging for all. Personally i'm all for a United States of Europe we need another super power to balance things out in the world, plus Britain has far more in common culturly and historicaly wise with Europe. P.S make your vote count on the 5th May and vote Liberal Democrats, out with Tony Blair

I made my money mostly by alchemy, I sell some to players I know and the rest is sold to the shops because I cant be doing with messing about on the market channel. What do I do with all my money and items? well mostly it all goes to fund the guild. Iron bars i find is the best source of income.

I would just like to warn people about Metal_gear_acid. Last night he was somehow able to hack a friends account while my friend was on-line, change the password of the account and stole stuff from my friends storage. After the guild constantly harassed him (sorry we broke a rule there ) He did give back some of the stuff and told me the password he had changed the account to, and as such we have been able to get back the account. Just giving you all a warning do not trust metal_gear_acid.

i have been getting the 'cant use an item after another, you need at least 1 second before (re) using an item' message even though i have been able to eat something. It tends to happen once in every 10 eats, to me anyway.

I would like to announce that as of 1.00am gmt 9th March, all of the guild Dao is joining the strike. Do not ask any members for any bars or essences as we dont wish to offend:p

I think the assumption is being made that all alchemists are harvesters aswell, as the two jobs go hand in hand.

I have worked in the mines all my adult life, and the working conditions and prices of the essences have got worse. We need to setup a health and saftey committee. We need Doctors to treat our many ailments, blisters and callouses on our hands, chronic backache, and the most dangerous of all chronic bronchitis and emphzema, caused by mine dust. We need Optitcians to treat our poor eyesight caused by the bad light in the mines. We need funeral and death benefits, how many of us have died while harvesting for our essences. We need accidental benefits and saftey equipment to wear, i am fed up being rendered unconsious when the wall falls on me. And finally we need pension rights for when we are too old and crippled to work anymore. I still dream of a little hut by the coast, for when i retire. You wont get me, I am part of the union.

count me in too. I have stopped making les, they take too long and you get too little money for it. Oh and sorry i missed the meeting, i was else where United We Stand Divided We Fall

I have been away from El for the past 3 months attending to rl stuff and while i was gone, i allowed Brian_Huting to become the top alchemist (as i feel it is only fair to allow others to taste a little bit of victory) But now I am Back So this message is for you Brian_Huting Be Afriad, Be Very Afriad Iam coming for you

I know you have more pressing matters what with the problems with the server and all but Minardi's IP is still banned. Any indication as to when this will be lifted.

I have decided it is time to look for another lover as now I have finally got over the fact that my heart has been broken twice. The first time was just a one-night stand in the guest rooms of the Desert Pines tavern which resulted in me becoming a single-parent and my poor delightful daughter has become anti-social and refuses to come out of Grim's Wagon since her father denied any knowledge of her existance. The 2nd ended up being a case of unrequited love, i thought he was a really lovely guy and we had so much in common, but i didnt relise he was just using me for the body rests that i was making him and i found out he had been convorting with many other women, especially with one right under my nose, in my own guild. I ask you how bad is that. I have many male friends, but none seem to show any interest in me. Perhaps its my level 81 Alchemy that intimidates them. I know iam hot stuff since living in the Kamara Desert does that to you, but it gets extremely cold and lonely in the Cystal Caves as that is where Iam most of the time. So iam looking for a guy who is gentle and kind enough to massage my feet after i have had a long day in the caves, but yet strong and courageous enough to kill the bears that get in my way. Human, Elves or Dwarves, i have no preferences as love conquers all. Yours ever hopeful Honeybee

yes

It seems Minardi's IP was never unbanned or was banned again, and he is also banned from the forums hence Iam posting on his behalf. After 4 months banned from EL he wishes to play again would this be possible?

Guild Dao is in the process of making a guild map and we intend to have it as a pk map with a pk bot. 1 question though, do we have to programme the pk bot ourselves and we buy the extra phys/cord and the privillage of having the bot, or do we actually buy the bot itself. Thanks Honeybee

Bring it on

People often make this mistake but you are looking at all the wrong things about having a baby. The truth is what you need to ask yourselves is, do you have the time for a baby, do you have the patience, and most importantly do you have it in you to be self- sacrificing. The state of your house and how much money you have are the least most important issues. (Baby-proofing doesnt really need to be done till it is walking) Ask yourselves can you cope on only 4 hours of broken sleep, can you cope with constant mess and can you cope with no time to yourselves. People always under estimate what having a baby will do not only to yourself but also to the relationship. All a baby really needs is LOVE, the unconditional, all-consuming, totally rips your heart out kind of love. Not everyone has the capability to give this type of love. (hence the state of the world these days) If you feel you have it in you to be this type of person, then go for it with as much passion as you can find and never fade or dwindle when the going gets tough. because it will. As for the mother being involved, as little as possible untill the child is older and more secure within its family unit would be the best possible solution. If you need to discuss further then feel free to pm me. Yours faithfully Honeybee, Mother of 3 boys, who are my life, my soul, my everything

Backstabbing, two-faced, gossip, slander, lies and miss-communication, ohhum the social policitics of real life

Alchemy of course then potions and then crafting

ahem I think this post might be better off in the suggestions forum, but however you could just try talking to ppl first, there is usually ppl sitting around the fire on IP or try crystal caves in DP where you will find lots of ppl just sitting and mining. as for me Iam usually at the silver

you can please all the people some of the time, you can please some of the people all of the time, but you cant please all of the people all of the time just my 2 cents on the matter, now i will go away and shut up

I totally relate, it really sucks when rl stuff gets in the way of the things that are more important

thats such a shame i was looking forward to the friendly competition, anyone else fancy the challange? Maybe he left because he heard I was back

Please pass on my best wishes for a speedy recovery. I only had the pleasure of speaking to him once and he seemed a pretty decent guy. Thanks Honeybee
