Arrived and settled in in London. Now where's the jobs...

You moved to London?!?!

I move there in a week.... argh.

Where in London are you both, now?

Also, if you're any good at manual labour, gothos, I'm sure you'll feel right at home...

Today I asked a girl out for coffee next week and she said she'd love to. Add to this she's in my class and we had a darn good chat today, things are looking up :rolleyes:

It has been proven beyond all reasonable doubt that the most powerful force on Wu is a bunch of messed-up Malazans with Moranth munitions.

Leviathan should be released soon!!!

Actually, it was released in 2004. You Australians are really lagging behind...

Actually, you're both wrong, it was released in 2011.

Watching my kids learn some Brazilian jiu-jitsu. I like the idea of it, because the whole premise is that your opponent is bigger and stronger than you, so you compensate with technique. But the result is a focus on submission holds, which I'm not sure I want my kids learning right now. Oh well.

OK, I think I got it, but just in case, can you say the whole thing over again? I wasn't really listening.

Child assassins need all the techniques they can get, but yah, submission isn't a high priority skill set.

They came with white hands and left with red hands.

South Norwood, for now (SE25), you?

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

I'm in Chigwell, by the M11 on the map (IG7). There's getting to be a small collection of us in these parts; potential for a Londoners' Mini Malazan Meet-up, perhaps?
