Very good, Pond'! The wife loved that one!

You deserve the clap - congrats!

I just have this to say to each of you... and a warm welcome to all new members, especially my COD5 playthings coolmd and Madmonk64! Bleed on you later, fellas!

Dedicated to all friends north of the border...

This is my favourite...

...oh, that sort of pool!

I know a song about pool...

A selection of socially relevant songs by Captain SKA:

Can we lose the meat maps please? There are two of them, very similar - small and containing shipping containers. Neither is a good freezetag map and this opinion is a commonly-held one. The only good thing about them is that they are over and done with very quickly. The server is very popular, btw, attracting both clan members and guests daily. Using the WW2 weapons is a real novelty.

Me too!

Welcome back!

And that, children, is why we never play with guns...

Much as I like the menu...Chicken Curry and Paratha...drool...yum... I just checked the air fare and it works out at just short of C$1100 so I'll just wish you a very happy get-together. (I had some tickets for tonight's lottery - top prize C$255m - but, as the phone hasn't rung, guess I haven't scooped that!)

Well done, Bush'! It's taken a while but then your posts tend to be worth reading more than some!

Welcome!

Good to read that the medical problem has gone away. A tough call to answer your request as so many of the headsets are of similar design. I'm pleased with my Steelseries Siberia V2 and its USB soundcard but that resembles, superficially at least, what you are trying to get away from. Perhaps an improvised solution is the way to go. In-ear 'phones would not squeeze your ears and you could rig a mic anywhere. Are there any shops that don't have the gaming headsets sealed inside awful plastic bubble packaging so the customer can try them on before buying? Good luck with the quest, mate!

Can I get fries with that? http://abclocal.go.com/kgo/story?section=news/local/east_bay&id=8229615

Happy 4th from another Brit! Have something from the BBQ for me!

HOLYHUMOUR **A father wasapproached by his small son who told him proudly, "I know what the Biblemeans!" His father smiled and replied, "What do you mean, you 'know' what theBible means? The son replied, "I do know!" "Okay," said his father. "What does the Bible mean?" "That's easy, Daddy..." the young boy replied excitedly," Itstands for 'Basic Information Before Leaving Earth.' (This one is my favorite) ======= There was a very gracious lady who was mailing an old family Bible to herbrother in another part of the country. "Is there anything breakable in here?" asked the postal clerk. "Only the Ten Commandments." answered the lady. ======== "Somebody has said there are only two kinds of people in the world. Thereare those who wake up in the morning and say, "Good morning, Lord,"and there are those who wake up in the morning and say, "Good Lord, it'smorning." ======== A minister parked his car in a no-parking zone in a large city because he wasshort of time and couldn't find a space with a meter. Then he put a note under the windshield wiper that read: "I have circled theblock 10 times. If I don't park here, I'll miss my appointment. Forgive us ourtrespasses." When he returned, he found a citation from a police officer along with thisnote "I've circled this block for 10 years. If I don't give you a ticketI'll lose my job. Lead us not into temptation." ======== There is the story of a pastor who got up one Sunday and announced to hiscongregation: "I have good news and bad news. The good news is, we haveenough money to pay for our new building program. The bad news is, it's stillout there in your pockets." ======== While driving in Pennsylvania , a family caught up to an Amish carriage. Theowner of the carriage obviously had a sense of humor, because attached to theback of the carriage was a hand printed sign... "Energy efficient vehicle:Runs on oats and grass. Caution: Do not step in exhaust." ======== A Sunday School teacher began her lesson with a question, "Boys and girls,what do we know about God?" A hand shot up in the air. "He is an artist!" said the kindergartenboy. "Really? How do you know?" the teacher asked. "You know - Our Father, who does art in Heaven... " ======== A minister waited in line to have his car filled with gas just before a longholiday weekend. The attendant worked quickly, but there were many cars aheadof him. Finally, the attendant motioned him toward a vacant pump. "Reverend," said the young man, "I'm so sorry about the delay.It seems as if everyone waits until the last minute to get ready for a longtrip." The minister chuckled, "I know what you mean. It's the same in mybusiness." ======== People want the front of the bus, the back of the church, and the center ofattention. ======== Sunday after church, a Mom asked her very young daughter what the lesson wasabout. The daughter answered, "Don't be scared, you'll get your quilt." Needless to say, the Mom was perplexed. Later in the day, the pastor stopped byfor tea and the Mom asked him what that morning's Sunday school lesson wasabout. He said "Be not afraid, thy comforter is coming." ======== The minister was preoccupied with thoughts of how he was going to ask thecongregation to come up with more money than they were expecting for repairs tothe church building. Therefore, he was annoyed to find that the regular organistwas sick and a substitute had been brought in at the last minute. Thesubstitute wanted to know what to play. "Here's a copy of the service," he said impatiently. "But,you'll have to think of something to play after I make the announcement aboutthe finances." During the service, the minister paused and said, "Brothers and Sisters,we are in great difficulty; the roof repairs cost twice as much as we expectedand we need $4,000 more. Any of you who can pledge $100 or more, please standup." At that moment, the substitute organist played "The Star SpangledBanner." And that is how the substitute became the regular organist! When you carry the Bible, Satan gets a headache..... When you open it,he collapses..... When he sees you reading it, he faints..... When he sees thatyou are living what you read, he flees..... And when you are about to forwardthis message.... He will try and discourage you.. I just defeated him!!! Anyother takers?

Had the "duplicate qport on server" problem, the other night, after the game crashed during a sudden (and unexpected) map change (we hadn't finished playing the map we were on). Generally, experiencing many more catastrophic crashes requiring machine reset (screen goes black and the crash knocks out all comms between graphics card and monitor) whilst playing on this server. Settings for weapons seem a bit off. Bouncing betties detonate when the player is still distant from them and with sufficient force to kill the approaching player; sticky grenades possibly not detonating (or maybe Mikey1799 is immune to them? ). Ditto Labob's request to lose strategy time but, unlike him, I do like foliage (he's shooting me a lot more in this MOD! ). Don't know about FF - could make for very short games if auto-kicked after three FFs!

Buongiorno, Morris! Ah, you're still there! Not long after you departed, there were two RAF pilots repatriated (for drinking?) and I wondered if you'd had a short visit! JK! Pleased to read that you are safe and enjoying the experience - a bit warmer than northern Germany at least. Looking forward to your return to the COD5 battlefields - keep well and keep safe!

Why not PM Rugger and he can advise when he gets back. I'm sure he wouldn't refuse a postal donation and may even remember not to put the bills into the coffee jar he has for saving for wild parties.

A newlyretired gentleman drove his brand new Porsche convertible out of the dealership. Takingoff down the road, he pushed it to 80 mph, enjoying the wind blowing throughwhat little hair he had left. "Amazing," he thought as he flew down the M1, pushing the pedaleven more. Looking in his rear view mirror, he saw a traffic patrolcar, blue lights flashing and siren blaring. Hefloored it to 100 mph, then 110, then 120. Suddenly he thought, "Whatam I doing? I'm too old for this!" and pulled over to await the policecar's arrival. Pulling in behind him, the policeman got out of his vehicle and walked up tothe Porsche. Helooked at his watch, then said, "Sir, my shift ends in 30minutes. Today is Friday. If you can give me a new reason forspeeding--a reason I've never before heard -- I'll let you go." The old gentleman paused then said: "Three years ago, my wife ran offwith a traffic cop. I thought you were bringing her back. "Have a good day, Sir," replied the policeman .

Sonovabich I would'nt touch that stuff called "real ale" it's usually flat, warm, tastes like piss and only drank by people who are snobs and look down on people who drink other stuff...pretty sure i see a photo somewhere on the website with you sitting drinking a nice pint of that draft fizzy lager stuff DJ which means that was full of them nasty chemicals. i) I am not a snob, you pleb! ii) cellar temperature is not "warm" and large volumes of CO2 just fuel belching competitions iii) put your spectacles on and examine the photo - you'll see that the badge on my hat says "Koeln" and what I am pictured drinking is a half-litre of Koelsch (in the Altstadt in Cologne), brewed according to the Reinheitsgebot of 1516! (Which means it has no unnatural ingredients in it.)

Sonovabich I would'nt pull you up about your beer though, we have nothing to boast about in that area, everything is full of chemicals, as you said the Germans might have something to say about it though, no chemicals in their beer.......Oh yes did i mention Celine Dion No, it isn't all full of chemicals! If you choose to drink the mass-produced fizzy stuff that has "extras" in it, that is your choice, but there is plenty of real ale in this country and it isn't hard to find. If you really must drink lager, choose imported German brands as they are brewed under centuries-old purity laws. Thank you, Canada, for Stewart Francis!
