As you read this, a copy of Guild Wars is making its way to me via the monopolistic monolith that is the Royal Mail. Here’s hoping it gets here by the weekend, so I can get a decent shot at playing it before my period of near-constant studying for Advanced Highers kicks in.

The Guild Wars announcement was supposed to be on a Wordpress ‘Post to Future’, but for some reason (maybe because I hadn’t set the blog to BST yet) it didn’t work (even when I fixed the BST issue).

But hey, its the only problem I have actually had with Wordpress since I installed it.

Apparently Tony Blair is whining about the number of attacks on his (lack of?) personality and character. He would prefer the public and his political opponents to focus on his record.

EDIT: The size of the graphic made it look out of place in the sidebar, so here’s a link to the Iraq Body Count instead
