Gungahlin stabbing

I know a few smoking hot women who play WoW and end up dating guys they meet in the game.

There might be better ways to meet girls, but a common interest is no bad thing.

For some, maybe.

People, make love, not warcraft.

Playing WoW is still the best way of ensuring you die with your V-plates.

The first casualty of war is your haircut.

And then sign up to EVE 🙂

I hate WoW with a passion that burns with the fire of a thousand nuns.

Thank god, you had me worried!

WoW is an unending grind, with a focus on guild-allying to score entirely irrelevant gear.

There are better things out there, but none with the market saturation.
So a lot of people wanting something to get into, that they can talk to friends and socialise locally about, choose WoW because the alternatives might not appeal to their group of peeps.

(And that they either turn down their speakers in a sharehouse, or use headphones)

I wouldn’t mind playing it. I actually want to…but when I saw some videos and heard some soundbytes of people going off on it, it got me a little worried.

You play WoW Skid?!

Go to Youtube and type in ‘Ventrilo’ and you will see what’s wrong with you.

The police reported “a nasty stabbing”?! Is there any other kind?

It involves a Pork Sword. Oh, hangon… Nasty. I guess not – hurrrrrrrrrrr!

(Sorry, thought I’d balance out my recent TransACT rant. Anyway, why hasn’t someone here run with the Computer Game angle yet?)

A bit of a poke with a knife?

Ah, that’s “circumstances”.

It’s a bit like the police using “no suspicious cercumstances” as a euphemism for suicide.

Mmm. I think if you are “assisting with inquiries” (I have made some enquiries, and apparently “inquiry” is favoured in British English only for referring to official investigations), you may be answering questions at the cop shop but haven’t been arrested. Yet.

If enquiries is to be used at all caf, then that is the right spelling. Inquiries is generally the term for official hearings – senate inquiry. But i believe that strictly speaking they are interchangable.

However (noting our dept has just issued an edict that sentences in ministerials cannot start with “However,” – bull), while it may be something the police use, it doesn’t have to transfer into the media’s write-up – especially immediately after advice that the person in question has been arrested. That’s gone beyond “helping”.

That of course should be “inquiries”. Oops.

“helping/assisting police with their enquiries” has a long and proud tradition.

Does anyone know why have we gone from plain old ‘suspect’ to ‘helping police with enquiries’ and ‘person of interest’.
