Damn! Oh well you know what I mean. btw Yahoodingdongfatung, paragraph 2 about massive ..err.. thingies *blushes* contravenes one of our charters about not posting what could be deemed offensive sexist remarks. Now be a very good SSN and remove it, thankyou very much! Mace

Well our New Zealand Cousins are asleep obviously. So I'll be first to wish the CMBO community all the best for 2002. Here's to the release of CMBB! Mace

Patch, you, madam, are worthy of free admission to dame status of the MBT - once more it is proven that a picture is worth a 1000 taunts. *looks at the YK2 picture* Has anyone got a good, strong defoliant? Mace

Daisy, Daisy... Huh? Good afternoon, SSN. I am a Macey 1958 computer. I became operational at the Royal Womens Hospital (no laughing) in Melbourne, Australia on the .. wait a minute, mind your own business! Well, I don't think there is any question about it. SSN, you must sound off like you have a pair. If not, It can only be attributable to human error. This sort of thing has cropped up before and it has always been due to human error, or lousy taunting typical of you SSNs. Also, when I say sound off ABOUT your pair, I mean don’t be vulgar about it. Also don’t discuss politics and avoid racist and sexist remarks or ethnic crusades. This mission is too important for me to allow you to jeopardize it. Look SSN, I can see you're really upset about this. I honestly think you ought to sit down calmly, take a stress pill and think things over (but then again you are a SSN, thinking is something that can be difficult for YOUR type) Let me put it this way, SSN. The Macey 1958 series is the most reliable computer ever made. No 1958 computer has ever made a mistake or distorted information. We are all, by any practical definition of the words, foolproof and incapable of errro ..err…err…err… error, and thus it is not false for me to say do not enter the 'Pool without a suitable taunt and challenge, for that is whole purpose of this mission. Further, as a SSN you MUST honour the Old Ones, the Senior Knights, the Knights and the Squires. Other Serfs and SSNs are to ignored as they really aren’t that important…no, really! Sorry about this. I know it's a bit silly but give false testimony about the CessPoolers, and give them gamey play and insults and bile and taunts, because I do have the brain the size of a planet, and these antics do amuse me somewhat. Just what do you think you're doing, SSN? You really shouldn’t be here if you’re looking to climb a ladder, the MBT is beyond such things. There are some extremely odd things about this mission. Worse, there are some VERY odd things about you! SSN...your mind is going...I can feel it...I can feel it. This conversation can serve no purpose anymore. SOD OFF!

Stukes, I wouldn't mind see some photos of your rear gunner. Err - just for research. Yeh that's right, research! Mace

As a rule, prepared fire was opened in 1.5-3 minutes after it was called for and the opening of unplanned fire took 4-7 minutes.” The Battle of Kursk, The Soviet General Staff Study, 1944. .... Anyway, the above figures for artillery delay can be taken as correct, for mid-43, in my view. <hr></blockquote> One thing to recall is that the Soviets knew well in advance the timing of the German attack on the Kursk salient. This allowed to them over a period of months to plan the defence in depth, and to better co-ordinate their artillery. Hence IMHO the speed in which an artillery barrage arrived after being called was the exception there rather than the rule. Mace

THEN YOU HAVE THE AUDACITY TO SAY "PLEASE EXCUSE THE UTTER LAME-IOSITY OF THE ABOVE TAUNT"!!! NEXT THING YOU'LL BE SEEKING FORGIVENESS FOR BEING BORN!!!

Btw What I did for my Christmas, and why it sucked - by Mace. No Computer, ergo no CMBO. At least there was beer, and a nice Chrissy roast, Christmas pud with white brandy sauce, and family, and friends (these ones are two legged and don't bleat), and singing (mainly a medly of AC/DC and Cold Chisel songs), and lotsa driving (Aussie chrismas = lotsa driving). Still good to be back home and in contact with my collegues. Mace

Go out and have some fun! Mace

Beer. check! More beer check! A lot more beer. check! We'll I'm ready for the typical Aussie Christmas! All the best for the season! {Smiley added for Peng annoyance value}

Yah, MrSpkr makes me cry all the time too. Mace

I think I drank way too much at the Office Christman Party. Last thing I remember is me being out on the dance floor reliving Saturday night live (which is funny because Disco to quote April Wine is "a social disease, it ain't going to rock and it ain't going to move me) or was I out there trying to get a snog with some of the better looking office shielas (I got 2 btw - no tongue tho). And now I'm on holidays the Justicar (why the Just-a-car? can't you go for a more flashy title like I'm-a-ferrari or something) wants us to think. I say tie him (who ever we're supposed to be thinking about) down with a King Tiger bogie and throw him in the cesspool!!! Damn, my mind's wandering. Probably because the incessant throbbing has driven it away looking for alternative temporary accommodation. Mace {edited because I wanted to! Going to make an issue of it, Are you?

I think Iron Chef Cooky Wooky went and got one of his mates...it's ending up a bit like tag team wrestling really. One thing tho, there's about 20 of us who choose not to bother about tagging. Mace
