  1. Yes. Which is one of the reasons I won't play the bloody game. EDIT: I'm confused as usual. You're talking about the older game. I liked the older one, before everything got level dependent.
  2. That is true. It's easy to get confused between colonial reds made for cheapo cretins and the proper good wines they can produce.
  3. You're right. i think I may have confused Night watch with Guards Guards, if Night watch is the first one.
  4. Ouch. It boils my blood sometimes when agents/landlords get like that. You may recall I got so mad after my last encounter that I volunteered my services as 'attack bastard' to the charity Shelter (who mediate in cases like this). If you deciude to open a can of whupass, go legal all the way. Visit your local council/city hall and get building regs. Search for violations. Report said violations, but bear in mind if you go too far you could render the building uninhabitable, leaving other residents with nowhere to live!
  5. Bah! South African reds for the win! There's a particularly nice shiraz grenache called the Assassin with bags of fruity body. Perfect for Christmas food.
  6. Indeed, especially in the military. Expect promotion to the rank of General any day, sir. I'll have you know I shall be promoted General on traditional merit: my ownership of a spaniel, a large moustache, and a broad range of incomprehensible jokes about Holland.
  7. Phones are the devil's work. I believe only in email, the cable telegraph, and dispatch riders.
  8. Yup. I'm hoping one day to have the loveable qualities of the whelk grafted onto my genome.
  9. i will eat anything except stewed cow's tripe. Curried cow's tripe is OK.
  10. Result! I got out of phys, since I looked like death, and couldn't run. Unit party in the evening after lots of training/instruction, and had awesome time. My unit is nearly 100% excellent. Really sound officers. We had some gambling (for fake money) and had an unexpected run of incredible luck, which resulted in my fleecing everybody. I now have a reputation as a wily gambler which presumably will never die as everyone has sworn to steer clear in future. This is not justified, but it never hurts to have a reputation as lucky!
  11. You mean skip, as in frolic?
  12. May your dog not think it is a cat.
  13. If you ask me inappropriate drunkenness sounds like more fun than prescience. I suffered insomnia all night due to a bad back, and had to wake at 0600 this morning to be off for more training. My one consoslation si that I should be able to get out of phys. Did I mention how much I hate phys?
  14. I've got this weird feeling that theslug is actually going to head Exxon or something soon.
  15. Quick, someone bash me in the face with a tin tray!
  16. For one dizzying moment there I thought I had been outed. I love you. Never leave.
  17. I hadn't considered simply dragging it into a corner and ignoring it. But even so... I don't have auto-update. But I understand the real importance of updating regularly. I just want o be able to update when I have some spare time, like making coffeee, but not have to reboot at the same time.
  18. I really liked 'Going Postal'. Very much back on form for my money.
  19. I think the point _may_ be that we have a shooting spree every two years, whereas the USA sees tens of thousands of one on one murders.
  20. We make a cute couple.
  21. I had just been wondering what life would be like if there were magic potions. After some moments of reflection I stood, went to the kitchen, and poured myself a glass of beer.
  22. More likely to be an old five pound note lodged in your medulla like a wad of kleenex behind the tumble-dryer. I spent the entire day doing sod all. I hate myself. I should have been out shopping.
  23. I'm not sure that's true. You want everyone who's falling over drunk to be armed?
  24. I think I could cautiously recommend you just plow into the first you can lay hands on, Tigranes. Guards Guards is good. I think my only objection was when he got too carried away with the good guys always winning effortlessly. But he got over that in recent years.
  25. A hit. A very palpable hit.
