Beers says to Rugger,"If you want gas, have this!" and breaks wind.

I enjoyed this one but didn't make as much noise as the commentator! http://youtu.be/iXhLXexv5vs

Have a good one, mate!

We do have the means to schedule restart ourselves via the server control panel. It uses PST/PDT as the determining time zone - they are UTC -8 hours and UTC -7 hours respectively. I assume that the default is 0500 PDT currently (I can't see the existing config from here). The server is not supposed to restart automatically when it is populated - only when empty. @@Ruggerxi any thoughts?

Could the timing of this automatic reset be adjusted to an earlier time? The server was beginning to fill and the reset emptied it. Whilst 7am EST may appear "early" in the day, those of us in the UK and Europe have reached midday and 1pm respectively. I guess the others did what I did - cook lunch!

There are others who like the feature as it enables knife kills across the map. It also provides a weapon to half-track drivers other than the vehicle itself eg in the Byalistok map.

Get well soon, fella!

May you enjoy a long, happy and healthy retirement @@2_MANY_BEERS !

I am sorry to learn of her illness and pray that her treatment is effective and her recovery swift and complete. By coincidence, I drove a friend to the hospital to receive news that she has a tumour and requires surgery and radiotherapy. The medics are being very positive about recovery in her case.

I got into computer comms around 1985 after buying a Prism VTX5000 modem at a computer show. I used it to access Prestel and Micronet 800 - commercial viewdata services - plus the odd viewdata and scrolling bulletin boards that would support the 1200bps down and 75bps up connection (V23). A few years later, I spent about £200 (!) on an Amstrad V22bis (2400/2400) modem, joining Cix and CompuServe. Via the former, I could telnet to White Sands Missile Base and explore their public library of space images. Though the resourceful did operate BBS using Spectrum computers, it wasn't until the early 1990s, and after buying my first IBM-compatible PC, that I opened my own linking it to Fidonet and other networks.

I've always been puzzled as to why Americans describe themselves as Irish-Americans, German-Americans, Swedish-Americans etc. After all, you are citizens of the United States, "one nation, indivisible", are you not? I understand that some cities have distinct cultural heritages - Boston (Irish), New York (many) - but when will the time come when a sense of national identity replaces these genealogical markers? I have never considered myself, in any way, Danish, Dutch or German, despite over a third of my genes being Anglo-Saxon. I have a "Celtic" skin type (so a consultant dermatologist has stated) so there's a bit of Ancient Briton in there somewhere perhaps! We are true mongrels in these isles.

I can't imagine all the hot air coming from the UN does global warming any good! It can say what it likes - it is a largely impotent organisation that can't even get its act together over the refugee crisis.

I read today that the US government still taxes the winning athletes not only on their prize money and sponsorship but even on the value of the medals awarded! That seems quite harsh.

Marriage (Part I ) Typical macho man married typical good-looking lady, and after the wedding, he laid down the following rules: 'I'll be home when I want, if I want and at what time I want -- and I don't expect any hassle from you. I expect a great dinner to be on the table unless I tell you that I won't be home for dinner. I'll go hunting, fishing, boozing, and card-playing when I want with my old buddies, and don't you give me a hard time about it. Those are my rules. Any comments?' His new bride said: 'No, that's fine with me. Just understand that there will be sex here at seven o'clock every night...whether you're here or not.' (DARN SHE'S GOOD!) ************************************************ Marriage (Part II) Husband and wife had a bitter quarrel on the day of their 40th wedding anniversary! The husband yells, 'When you die, I'm getting you a headstone that reads, 'Here Lies My Wife -- Cold As Ever'!' 'Yeah?' she replies. 'When you die, I'm getting you a headstone that reads, 'Here Lies My Husband -- Stiff At Last'!' (HE ASKED FOR IT!) ***************************************** Marriage (Part III) Husband (a doctor) and his wife are having a fight at the breakfast table. Husband gets up in a rage and says, 'And you are no good in bed either,' and storms out of the house. After some time he realizes he was nasty and decides to make amends and rings her up. She comes to the phone after many rings, and the irritated husband says, 'What took you so long to answer the phone?' She says, 'I was in bed.' 'In bed this early, doing what?' 'Getting a second opinion!' (YEP, HE HAD THAT COMING, TOO!) ***************************************** Marriage (Part IV) A man has six children and is very proud of his achievement. He is so proud of himself, that he starts calling his wife,' Mother of Six' in spite of her objections. One night, they go to a party. The man decides that it IS time to go home and wants to find out if his wife is ready to leave as well. He shouts at the top of his voice, 'Shall we go home Mother of Six?' His wife, irritated by her husband's lack of discretion, shouts right back, 'Any time you're ready, Father of Four.' (RIGHT ON, LADY!) ***************************************** THE SILENT TREATMENT A man and his wife were having some problems at home and were giving each other the silent treatment. Suddenly the man realized that the next day he would need his wife to wake him at 5:00 AM for an early morning business flight. Not wanting to be the first to break the silence (and LOSE), he wrote on a piece of paper,'Please wake me at 5:00 AM.' He left it where he knew she would find it. The next morning the man woke up, only to discover it was 9:00 AM and he had missed his flight. Furious, he was about to go to see why his wife hadn't wakened him when he noticed a piece of paper by the bed. The paper said, 'It is 5:00 AM. Wake up.' Men are not equipped for these kinds of contests. ***************************************** God may have created man before woman, but there is always a rough draft before the masterpiece. ************** ***************************

Australian Love Poem Of course I love ya darlin You're a bloody top-notch bird And when I say you're gorgeous I mean every single word So ya bum is on the big side I don't mind a bit of flab It means that when I'm ready There's somethin' there to grab So your belly isn't flat no more I tell ya, I don't care So long as when I cuddle ya I can get my arms round there No Sheila who is your age Has nice round perky breasts They just gave in to gravity But I know ya did ya best I'm tellin' ya the truth now I never tell ya lies I think it’s very sexy That you've got dimples on ya thighs I swear on me nanna's grave now The moment that we met I thought you was as good as I was ever gonna get No matter what u look like I'll always love ya dear Now shut up while the cricket’s on And fetch another beer [ Brings a lump to your throat doesn't it.. !! ]

Condolences, Sammy. Wishing you strength as you bear this sad loss and sort out his estate.
