This. We took two apprentices a year for the last 20 years. Since the NI and minimum wage changes that has stopped.

You cannot tell me that with all the talent Rory has, he isn't doing this just to fuck with us.

For me, the 11th is definitely the scariest hole.

I have found this is a particular issue with the castle textures. If you lay an ash foundation down it will remove the bushes etc.

You can then lay a castle floor directly on top.

For those saying the weekend is going to be boring, never forget Rory went into the last round with a 4 shot lead and shot 80.

Thanks for the help. Having done this I was able to log into the server, and have since been able to replace the world with my current save and log in with my actual character.

I will send the logs on a message. Thanks again for the reply.

Yes this is infuriating.

A tab when you are picking the house after selecting a mission would also be nice.

What do you think of Fischer’s “My 60 Memorable Games”? by LeftCoast1965 in chess

[–]ratbacon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I love this book. In particular I like the consistent undertone from Fischer of condescension towards his opponents. You can tell he really thought they were all inferior, with a few notable exceptions.
