Anyway, how's things mate? I can tell you're back at uni, you're posting a lot more. :-)
I got SSX today, so give me some times or scores or whatever as targets. If I beat them, then I know I'll be on the road to becoming an average player.

It was busy writing, if I remember rightly. What with me being left-handed, and all.

Ah. But when I pay the cheque in, it will go out of the account, and then straight back in. So I stay the same.
Still, I'm glad I'm enjoying the game, anyway.

I'd have used my your left hand, had it not been busy elsewhere...
As it happens, it was the cheque I received - so you're £20 better off!
Came second with Elise in the final, after winning the first two rounds easily. Without using any short cuts.
Tried the trick thing, but didn't make it to the first checkpoint in time. Need a little more practice me thinks...

Don`t really know to be honest. Only really tried during the race. Those are where the times are from. I`ll have to give time trial a go some time. :-)

Tell me about it. Last year we all started of like "Yeah, we'll clean the house once a week. We'll set a time, and just get on with it." That was before we moved in. After about 3 days, we were like "Well, the toilet doesn't smell *that* bad, I'm sure we could leave it another couple of weeks...." So we did. I think during the 9 months, we cleaned the bathromm about 3 times. One of those was just before we moved out.
And as for the kitched, well.....

Yeah, I've seen one of those logos, went through it and smashed into a big pole! I'll have to look into it tonight again...

Cool, cheers for the tips.

Ah! I didn't know that. Cheers. Looks like I've got a bit of work to do....

Good to hear, you old walking carpet!

Yup, and its a bit different to the first year! Houses, and hard work? Never heard their true meaning till now!

Best overall intermediate though is Zoe, who I use the most. 2 min 35 is reasonable, but you`ll soon discover the short cuts on the course and chop the time down.

Need to find those short cuts for sure then! Like I said, look for the logos, then smash through them. Follow the route they take you, and pop out 20 seconds ahead! :-)

Sure thing. If you like, I can go and find the rest of the times/scores as well.

Does it come with detachable push-broom 'tache?
I heard that it doesn't have a Turbo button, but comes complete with... ahem... cruise control.
