  1. Would you therefore sanction a public sausaging? Actually, that sounds too rude.
  2. Herrljunga pear cider. It's like a delicious alcopop.
  3. As in dookie?
  4. I don't know about taste, but how would you know who won? Good question. How about casualties sustained, number of civilians killed (by all sides) etc? It would be a fantasy division, so you get four brigades or what have you. EDIT: Battalions. I always get them mixed up.

  6. Sounds like calabash beer, but without the curdled milk.
  7. Since the confidentiality is commercial, does that mean you'll spill if I give you 5 quid? Throw in a ten day bus pass to Leeds and I'm yours.
  8. Hmmm. Musta been like that little kid. I see dead people too, you know? I've downloaded the free demo. BUt it shuts off as soon as the game proper starts. I've only been able to find some reference to turning off services.exe. But that sounds mental. Can anyone help?
  9. I appreciate your explanation, although I was actually just giving you the rather dubious benefit of my understanding of marketing. However, your answer was far more interesting than my question. I'm actually beginning to wnder if I haven't wasted my entire life after spotting that tank turret.
  10. Bound by commercial confidentiality, I'm afraid.
  11. I'm seeing a lot of mixed reviews.
  12. I'm biased because I may be doing some work with Gearbox, but Hell's Highway looks to be awesome in more ways than just graphics.
  13. I've been scanning the avenue outside my flat. It'd be just like those wascawy tewowists to be hiding up a tree.
  14. The FBI have asked for anyone having information on these men get in touch. They are concerned about possible attacks on ferries in the Seattle area. I expect the feds want to give them a mug of cocoa and a fatherly chat.
  15. Okay, couple of points: 1) I love the 'strider tank'. Never in the field of human conflict have so many guns existed in so strange profusion in so little space. Unless those are exhaust tubes. Or spaghetti funnels. EDIT: Is that the turret of a Ram tank? EDIT EDIT: I win the ww2 geek prize! 2) The thin yellow font on black background is painful. 3) In firefox the pictures are floating over the text. 4) "allowing battles to take on the fast past exciting flow as bright and vivid as an Anime" It could just be me, but I find anime synonymous with poorly characterised and overpowered. I would suggest you may turn people off by referencing to a niche market up front, however passionate your convictions.
  16. That looks kinda interesting. BUt we're not really gaming at present since we've a lot of weddings being planned. Thanks for linking it though.
  17. Yup. You have a
  18. Sand would demand miscreants choke themselves. It is immoral that felons should use state resources in punishment.
  19. I wonder if you could ddo a fantasy Army draft, picking by battalions due in service in Iraq and Afghanistan? Or is that terrible taste?
  20. 11 guests. We ate dressed as vikings (a slight anachronism with some of the spices but you will notice no tomatoes or potatos). I still can't get over how much effort went into the frumenty only to have it taste completely boring! Kirottu, I'll marry you if you are secretly Natalie Portman. Oh yes, and I forgot to mention it was all served onto bread trenchers rather than plates.
  21. Hmmm... This could explain why I want to chase you in an AT-ST, firing laser bolts at you.
  22. *Walsingham, despite his best efforts, can't held edging closer to Rosbjerg* I got Count Dooku! Rawk!
  23. On Saturday I served a four course banquet (cooked on Friday) consisting of: 1. Frumenty (a fabulously expensive dish containing saffron and bulgur wheat that tastes eventually exactly like instant couscous) 2. stewed cabbage with vinegar 3. gammon boiled in fruit 4. carrot and parsnip soup 5. mushroom onion and ginger soup 6. baked onions stuffed with sausage meat and dried fruit 7. baked aubergines stufed with onion and mushroom 8. lamb's hearts rubbed with pepper and stuffed with mince 9. vegetables roasted and glazed with butter and honey 10. lamb's leg roasted with garlic and rosemary 11. a large marrow carved to appear like a pig, and stuffed with cheddar cheese, grated carrot, onion, and mushroom. 12. Sweet spinach and cream pie. 13. Apples baked with wensleydale and lancashire cheese 14. Cherry pottage served with cream. It took 20 hours to cook.
  24. It's a fair point you make. The criminal gangs aren't going to go away on their own. What I'm talking about is giving the people locally an investment in progress so that they feel personally inclined to shoot up the bandits. Something they are perfectly capable of doing with the right motivation. The other aspect of investment is to make the village headman (often called a 'malik') gain status from government projects rather than hoofing up and undermining him by doing stuff without consultation. This is a problem with big organisations airdopping stuff onto places. People don't value handouts. You don't have to make them pay in cash, but you have to make them feel they earned it.
  25. Is it just me or are we experiencing some sort of Dickensian revival? First Sand now you.
