Walsingham

The clothes you just desccribed can be referred to as gay because I've only really seen gay people wearing them, and I think if we had any openly gay people on the forum they'd be enthusiastic proponents of the style. Well, maybe not turtlenecks. No-one likes turtlenecks.

Steady on there, fellah. We don't mean to seem unfriendly. But we've had a passel full of rogues, bots, and spam merchants come through here, and if you kick off by sounding like one then you're apt to get a roasting. Just ride it out and keep on in. I understand the aversion to bots in some forums i joined a while back we had a lot of problems with bots especially when for a several month period there were no mods so the spam kept on coming up. Usually then the bots were mainly porn bots, don't recall too many actually sticking to the theme of the forum . But i haven't been a member of this forum very long so perhaps i just had lower quality bots infesting those forums ha ha ha. I do appreciate your post though, and i wasn't sure at first if i should actually make the topic without first posting in some other topics which probably would have been a good idea to let people know first that i was a real person. The benefits of hindsight indeed. Though i don't mind the occasional jeering, in the first forum i joined i got flamed horribly, though mainly because i joined the minority faction of the forum (partially out of spite i must admit) and defenders of that group weren't really looked well upon, so i will take your advice and keep on truckin. Good man!

Didn't we have an article posted here a while back saying those warranties were rubbish? Some guy saying that his Xbox had been en route or on return from the repair shop for a third of his ownership? An intercooler sounds prima facie to be a smart solution.

The Imperial Inquisition are pretty clear on this one. Revile the alien! Cleanse! Purify! TERMITE TERMITE TERMITE! Wait, no, that last bit was Nemesis.

Walsingham's immaculate monocle is in danger of being occluded by dust! He parries! He fumbles, and for an unknown reason falls out the window.

I looked forward to Rogue Trooper. That was worth waiting for. Oh yes.

OK. You were right. Sorta. You have to RUN, CROUCH, JUMP, and then CROUCH again. So that makes life easier. I just want to shoot stuff, not play a paralympics simulator.

Give us? Sorry Sand, but you're no longer part of the gamming community. Fortunately he is still part of the gammon community. Mmmmm honey glazed.

Don't blame us. We brits are practically yanks these days. Not that it stops the filthy clothes companies from selling 'slim fit' shirts. I was utterly perplexed ntil I realised this is what women have been facing for years. They know only about 5% of people actually suit there fething product, but sell it anyway.

I was pounced upon by a cat this evening on the way to the pub. I berated the animal by pointing out that I was perfectly capable of seizing it and pulling its legs off. Cats are the most stupid and arrogant beasts after people.

I'm being perfectly serious when I say that I belive I am being personally discriminated against by the STEAM release of Half-Life. I can't jump high enough. In the first (original campaign) I got around this by using the infamous lipet mines on the wall trick. BUt I'm playing OPFOR now, and I have no such option. Has anyone else heard of this problem? I could ask on some half-life boards, but frankly I'm snooty about who I talk to.

What were you already running from when you rounded the corner and saw them? Old age and obesity.

One reason I enjoyed the Motorcycle Diaries was because I didn't realise they were about Che Guevara until the end.

Remember, Ros, mallets don't hit passersby. Hormone and drink crazed women hit passersby.

The fastest I ever ran was being chased by a bunch of drunk girls on a hen night party. I was already at what I thought was top speed when I rounded a corner and saw them. I thought I would be OK just dodging through them, but they pulled out these huge rubber mallets, dropped their shoes and sprinted after me. It was like being at school again, and I ran like the wind for a good 3rd of a mile with them in hot pursuit. At the moment I probably run a mile in about eight or nine minutes. BUt I don't run on the flat, because there isn't any where I am.

GD I think you're being a wee bit deliberately dense. I think Calax would agree with me when I pose a different analogy. You put 100 bucks in a box and vote ona guy who will spend that money. Your first vote brings in a fellah who spends some of it on a homeless guy. The next time the vote is held you bring in another guy who spends money on a homeless guy. And the third time the thing happens again. Where is the theft?

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/6914959.stm An opinion poll survey shows muslim support for suicide bombs plummeting outside Palestine. What interests me particularly is the high degree of support in Nigeria. A country which - to the best of my knowledge - has experienced little if any suicide bombs. This brings me toa further point - can we be sure that all suicide bombers are actually knowingly suicide bombers?

I've been thinking more about this, and reckon it depends firstly on the campaign, and secondly how much of a power gamer the person is. If they're able to hear trhe campaign context and fit into it under their own power then fair enough. But if tehy're too much into questions like "I wonder if I can quad weild?" then nuts to them.

hungover on Sunday, watched Blow - 7/10 Goodfellas wannabe (why is Ray Liotta so underused?) Underworld Evolution - 7/10 elevated from 5/10 by Kate Beckinsale. Rrrrowrrr. Jarhead - 8/10 much much better than the book. Awarded an extra point because it upset my friends.

. Typical. After preaching the virtue of martyrdom to the people they have ensnared the leaders put on disguises and try to sneak away. I dont think you have the proper perspective on this. See, cross-dressing is pretty risky bussiness in muslim countries, and to do it in the very center of "put a towel on your head and a bomb in your pants" takes some serious guts. Indeed. I think the whole thing with hiding in burkas has to stop. Although obviously at present it works in their favour. If we check burqa clad people then we end up usually offending traditionalist sensibilities. If we use women soldiers to do it we annoy them even more!

Women in their early 30s ftw.

Of course they do. They have to turn someone away from the clubs. They restrict this policy to Englishmen and Jersey types. *grumble grumble*

Is a man who commits atrocities in the name of religion really so different from one who does it in the name of political ideology? They're more efficient, because they don't have to stop for prayers. Simply hating your enemy is not enough, you know. If you disagree with someone it becomes even more crucial to understand them. As Homer says "Lisa, honey, just because I don't care doesn't mean I don't understand." EDIT: I just had the most awful thought. If the jifascists win then there will be no more Simpsons.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/politics/6912930.stm This really hacked me off. 10 billion concentrated on trying to make London more attractive. We need improved services elsewhere in the country. Particularly in the midlands and northeast. But oh no, we get investment in London, Reading, and Brighton. Apparently aimed solely at boosting the ease of civil servants and overpaid london maniacs commuting. 5.5 billion pounds for a new train station? The good that could be done with that money...

Steady on there. You put a lot of different people in one bucket. Che Guevara the same as Zarqawi? Arafat the same as Bin Laden?
