Good for you but, as I have replied to another, it is illegal to make unauthorised copies and certainly to distribute those to others - read the terms of use.

1) He doesn't need help as he has solved his problem (if you had read his post above yours, you'd have seen that). 2) The game is subject to copyright - intellectual property owned by Activision and is on sale, so distributing copies of it is piracy, illegal in both the USA and the EU under both civil and criminal law. (If you have any doubts, read the terms of use.)

He has solved his problem and, as another Admin has already pointed out, we do not promote piracy here!

As your profile is linked by the Master Server to the CD key you were using when you installed the game, simply changing the key will not release the name for use again. Your only option is to choose an alias that resembles your former game name and has not been registered by somebody else.

Mayflies, Johnny. I'd have to shake loads of them out of my umbrella when fishing at the lake when they hatched. We don't see as many of the June bugs where we are now but they used to be a real problem at a former home. They'd fly down the chimney into the house and then the barbs on their legs would get tangled in net curtains and even the wife's hair!

The recent loss of life and injury to so many reminds us how fragile our lives are. The apartment block fire that appears to have claimed 79 lives so far was horrific too. The response from the public has, however, been heartwarming and shows how united our society really is.

That concludes today's lesson. (I didn't know that second definition!!! ) Welcome Nacho!

Whilst I remain baffled by the Other Games involvement, the post does, at least, confirm that it is not an unintentional error that is causing our Inboxes to inflate. No, I hadn't seen the post (along with hundreds of others as I do not spend hours trawling the website). Thank you for your patience and explanation.

@Hunter I have set up a mail rule here that should automatically bounce the spam back to If I've done it right, anything related to COD5 will still get through. I don't understand why the web site says my content will need to be approved by a moderator if I am indeed a moderator. When the Head Insurgency Admin posted and supposedly needed my approval, I had no options available to grant it! None of this makes sense to me.

No, I am getting emails relating to appeals about Minecraft and Insurgency bans that are posted in the Other Games Bans section.

I understand the connection to any messages about COD5 but not why I receive notification about Insurgency and Minecraft, neither of which I even play... Looks like I need to write a mail rule at my end.

It's happening again. Once again, I am getting emails saying someone has posted a message in the Other Games Ban Appeals section that requires approval. My notifications are off.

There is also a minimum wage in the UK: https://www.gov.uk/national-minimum-wage-rates However, zero hours contracts are commonplace and the combination of these with low pay means people cannot plan their finances.

Is friendly fire on or off?

They missed out the black pudding with that breakfast!

Unlikely, I'd say - Chiswick hasn't had its own MP since 1997... I can think of one prominent politician who seems to have spent a while chatting to people like this, though... (Oh well, that's this thread headed off to Politics now!)

Calm yourself... They're not "all over London". Even the tourists recognise that!

I can assure you that my daily ambition was to return home! My misses was scared s***less by the unannounced arrival of PCs at her workplace one day when I was on duty. I dispute the assertion that US police officers have "more experience" - they have a different experience. The police police this country by consent. They are not employees of the state but warranted officers of The Crown. We all recognise(d) that there is/was a risk that police would pay the ultimate sacrifice whilst performing their duty. However, whilst one may be provided with personal protection equipment, risk cannot be entirely removed. I am pleased and relieved that the innocent member of the public wounded by police gunfire in London did not suffer serious injury (but I would not like to be the officer that pulled the trigger... IPCC investigation??). Let the default remain unarmed with the backup provided by specialists.

No, in the 1980/90s, we had Irish Republican terrorists blowing up children out shopping for Mothers' Day cards and setting off huge truck and car bombs across the place. I recall the Harrods attack that killed police and members of the public. Then there was Bishopsgate... (image: Spitalsfield Life ) Terrorism is not a new phenomenon - this country has lived with it for decades and, I fear, will do so for decades still. We need calm heads and resolve.

Rob, I served 30 years - unarmed!

On this point, Rob, you are incorrect. There is a requirement to prove competence in the English Language if one wishes to be naturalised as a British citizen (with some exceptions eg exempt foreign nationals from English-speaking countries like the USA and Canada). https://www.gov.uk/english-language/exemptions I will add a further comment to this thread, to those calling for the universal arming of police - they do not want it (I speak from past personal experience too). "About 92 per cent of the service is unarmed and armed policing is delivered by highly-trained specialist units. There is no plan to seek to change this." http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/01/09/british-police-officers-asked-want-carry-guns-wake-terror-attacks/ It is premature to draw any conclusions about whether travel bans are/ would be effective until the true nature of the threat is understood. The one Tweet from you-know-who that grabbed my attention concerned the absence of a gun debate - how very true! Thank the Lord we have very strict controls on access to firearms in this country - long may that continue! Each country's law will define terrorism differently. In England & Wales, section 1 Terrorism Act 2000 defines it thus:

I learned, this morning, that two of our nieces were in the area when this happened but made it home uninjured having enjoyed a fine evening at Shakespeare's Globe theatre. London Bridge won't fall down!

A couple in their nineties are both having problems remembering things. During a check-up, the doctor tells them that they're physically okay, but they might want to start writing things down to help them remember. Later that night, while watching TV, the old man gets up from his chair. 'Want anything while I'm in the kitchen?' he asks. 'Will you get me a bowl of ice cream?' 'Sure.' 'Don't you think you should write it down so you can remember it?' she asks. 'No, I can remember it.' 'Well, I'd like some strawberries on top, too. Maybe you should write it down, so as not to forget it?' He says, 'I can remember that. You want a bowl of ice cream with strawberries.' 'I'd also like whipped cream. I'm certain you'll forget that, write it down?' she asks. Irritated, he says, 'I don't need to write it down, I can remember it! Ice cream with strawberries and whipped cream - I got it, for goodness sake!' Then he toddles into the kitchen. After about 20 minutes, the old man returns from the kitchen and hands his wife a plate of bacon and eggs. She stares at the plate for a moment. 'Where's my toast?' An elderly couple had dinner at another couple's house, and after eating, the wives left the table and went into the kitchen. The two gentlemen were talking, and one said, 'Last night we went out to a new restaurant and it was really great. I would recommend it very highly.' The other man said, 'What is the name of the restaurant?' The first man thought and thought and finally said, 'What’s the name of that flower you give to someone you love? You know, the one that's red and has thorns.' 'Do you mean a rose?' 'Yes, that's the one,' replied the man. He then turned towards the kitchen and yelled, 'Rose, what's the name of that restaurant we went to last night?' Hospital regulations require a wheelchair for patients being discharged. However, while working as a student nurse, Sally found one elderly gentleman already dressed and sitting on the bed with a suitcase at his feet, who insisted he didn't need my help to leave the hospital. After a chat about rules being rules, he reluctantly let her wheel him to the elevator. On the way down she asked him if his wife was meeting him. 'I don't know,' he said. 'She's still upstairs in the bathroom changing out of her hospital gown.' A senior citizen said to his eighty-year-old buddy: 'So I hear you're getting married?' 'Yep!' 'Do I know her?' 'Nope!' 'This woman, is she good looking?' 'Not really.' 'Is she a good cook?' 'Naw, she can't cook too well.' 'Does she have lots of money?' 'Nope! Poor as a church mouse.' 'Well, then, is she good in bed?' 'I don't know.' 'Why in the world do you want to marry her then?' 'Because she can still drive!' A man was telling his neighbor, 'I just bought a new hearing aid. It cost me four thousand dollars, but it's state of the art. It's perfect.' 'Really,' answered the neighbor. 'What kind is it?' 'Twelve thirty.' Morris , an 82 year-old man, went to the doctor to get a physical. A few days later, the doctor saw Morris walking down the street with a gorgeous young woman on his arm. A couple of days later, the doctor spoke to Morris and said, 'You're really doing great, aren't you?' Morris replied, 'Just doing what you said, Doc: 'Get a hot mamma and be cheerful.'' The doctor said, 'I didn't say that... I said, 'You've got a heart murmur... be careful.' One more... A little old man shuffled slowly into an ice cream parlour and pulled himself slowly, painfully, up onto a stool... After catching his breath, he ordered a banana split. The waitress asked kindly, 'Crushed nuts?' 'No,' he replied, 'Arthritis.'
