Well I suppose I haven’t really been posting on this thing with in the recent month, although I do feel random pointless net quizzes are a perfectly good use for more tinternet space, I mean its not like there is a shortage of space, is there? Now that would be weird, emergency we are running out of room for random crap on the net we should get ride of the least visited sites. I think we should bin the most used sites as it’s a fair bet they are full of trivial useless rubbish, it might even force people to go see what else is out there to look at. Although some how I doubt that.

On a totally different note iron heroes is going really well the group have so far managed to avoid doing anything totally stupid by virtue so being in the middle of the wilderness, no proverbial red buttons or anything. They are trekking their way up to the dwarves in order to trade with them. Which im sure will go fine, although being the first settled region they have been to in the last 3 months I reckon they will be able to find no end of if they try, or even don’t try to hard.
