In my humble opinion skipping maps is wrong purely because the choice of map then becomes someones personal preference, regardless of how many voted. If you don't like it leave, don't throw your dummy out of the pram until you get your own way. The reason most people don't vote may just be that they are happy to continue. You will never please everyone so why try? To me as long as there is a good mix of map types there should be no cause for complaint. FU is probably the way to go when someone wants to skip, we have lots of servers, try them you might like them? I do notice that a lot of people stick to one format and never play anything else, fair enough, but I'm sure they'd enjoy other servers. There is a certain Norwegian lady who plays them all, and as far as I can tell enjoys them all. Just because she is good at one doesn't stop her trying others, a great pity more don't do that. I do notice that, quite naturally, the people who only play one format become quite possessive and forget it is not only for them So skipping maps _ FU

It has just come to my attention that one of our royal family is marrying a yank, and to make it worse she's from California, diluting our German strain even further. I envisage the following for our future royals :_ Officially marked royal 'bongs' Surfing in Hyde park Dedicated royal psychiatrists Pressing parliament to drive on the wrong side of the road Starting a 'royal' chapter with local bikers Cricket out baseball in Real football now football by men in armour Tacos replacing Sunday roasts Palaces sold as film sets I find this very worrying, our country will never recover

OMG after terrific pain in my eye thursday night I was forced to visit the emergency eye clinic, 25 miles away and a nightmare for me to get to (ambulances). I had to wait 5 hours to be seen which is average and it turns out I have scleritis and uveitis, they have given me steroid eye drops which I'm not happy about. However (and I suspected this) I have to limit my exposure time to computer screens, regardless of filters, just my luck when I'd planned to return to cod2 this weekend, wait for me boys. Morale of the story is don't ignore eye pain, get it checked out.

Deer admons, I luv crap maps cos all the good players leeve and I get good scores, canne we have more please? luv u Rob

No kickstart ?

Yea just googled them and best option seems to be safety glasses which are only about ten quid, I'll try them.

Last eye test I asked about glasses for computer I don't need them for reading and they said I didn't need them? hmmm? Mordblacks suggestion sounds good might try that. I suffer with conjunctivitus too SOB, it is of interest that Roman soldiers stationed on the wall, who had never previously suffered, are documented as having bad conjunctivitus. So it may be a regional thing that we can't escape? It's a pain in the arse.

I have been having trouble with my left eye lately and it seems to happen after playing, it is a sharp pain and wakes me at night. I experimented and if I don't play it goes away. Now obviously this is no good and it may just be old age, but before going to doctor (not easy) I wondered if anyone else suffers and if they had a solution, I wear glasses for long vision, but not for computer.

ouch!

Great idea WP, so to raise money I'm going on the game as a male escort, and you can be my first customer ( a great cause), pm me for time and date , may take a few visits to raise the cash but I know you have a bottle to save in now. Seriously though a great post, must have taken ages? and the wife says I have to stay retired

FBI on your trail, we understand

OMG a book? does it begin 'once upon a time'?

Deadliest catch eh? that explains why you are crabby at times I'm healing ok my friend, will probably always need crutches but hey ho I'm alive. My return to gaming below par so far, Beers knifing me easily (too easily), so tried freezetag and Queenie, storm and others killing me, vietnam freezetag same, might as well make it a full house and dampen my spirits on other servers. Couldn't play on cod2 server at weekend due to bad eye but hope to get on next weekend and spank painkillers arse (metaphorically). This must complete hijacking of this thread, what an idiot.

Ayaq you went to college??????? holy shit that surprised me, that blubber must be strong stuff? Love your imagination, must be boring those long cold winters, and Mcdonalds in the arctic?? not the wilderness I imagined. Do you feed big macs to the huskies? and have sled drive through's? Imagine the Alaskan Mcdonald specials - Seal quarter pounder with cheese, wolf mcnuggets, bearburger, wolverine bites etc etc no the wonder you explorers are big and strong, are you in mountain men or life below zero? I picture you now Ayaq six six (basketballer), 240 pounds pre Mcs, 480 pounds post Mcs (please tick), steely blue eyes ( or black if in recent bear encounter), well hung ( steady Queenie, I mean with weapons), bearded and clothed in skins. Please don't tell me you work in an office, wear a suit and live in a house, I'll be gutted Whoops, gutted may be misconstrued with you manly types, disappointed may be better.

Sorry mate I'm just too heavy, when my wife sees a hot air balloon she thinks one of my shirts has blown off the washing line. Perhaps a new mod for a grappling hook with line, or diving weights should be an option?

Pork on the menu tonight, and every night, let you all know next week, who am I kidding?

Well doesn't that prove theres life out there, they must have loads of chickens (possibly KFC?)

Well as I can't ride bikes again I'm going to start a new hobby, building wooden model boats, any other idiots do this? I can sit and do this, wanted to start clay shooting again but that might be too ambitious at the moment. I'd love to spray bikes but I'm not very artistic and you need to be, need a rest from killing you all.

Well done, ps do you sit on that helmet ?

Is it en suite?

Thats a nasty burn keep it clean and dry, they can get infected quite easily look after it, I hate getting burns.

It was good

Yea easy, you take two pecks from a bushel, divide by a long ton minus a short ton, add three gills and the answer is in scruples easy to convert to gallons from that you can get us gallons, piece of cake

I liked Imperial measures, bushels were my favourite
