  1. Hard to get ANY help around here, hold this bucket please. I need to go find out what that gurgling noise is. One of these kniggets is probably so drunk they've slipped below the surface of the pool. Unfortunately that means they'll likely clog what little drain is left.

    If you wash my mouth out, it would become the only clean thing in this joint. I take it from your suggestion someone else should do it to mean you don't touch soap yourself. Probably a prior bad experience reaching for it in the shower.

    Sounds like a voice of experience to me. How many times did you deliberately drop the soap yourself?

    By the way Burke is a verb, I'll only take so much abuse before I prep one of you for sale to a medical school.

    See lads, THIS is how a Serf should respond. Once again my judgment is infallible. Keep up the average work sburke (spelt but not bolded), and don't mind the slings and arrows from the Australians ... average is the BEST they can do.

    Burke - as in "Back of" - where you should be seen heading, preferably without any supplies of food or water. Or even more ideal, you could recreate the expedition of Burke and Wills, just take joebob as your partner.

  2. BFC is totally uninterested in Steam and have given their reasons. It is too bad, because I am sure they are wrong, but you'll never convince the geriatric cheer-leading brigade here of that.

    I'm sure you will back up that statement with your reasons WHY they are wrong. Prove to us that BF's stated reasons are incorrect with regard to their business model and you will have one convert right here.

    Battlefront is a company of game designers and grognards, which is why they make such good games. Unfortunately, that also explains why their software is so bad and their market these days is restricted to people who bought their previous games.

    I find it hard to understand how software can be a "good game" and at the same time be "so bad"? I also would like to see your figures confirming your assertion that there are no new players playing the game (Since the original CM series of games).

    Since Steam is out of the question, another model for improvement might be the DCS model. Ignoring the fact that they managed to put their software on Steam without going bankrupt, DCS is another niche games company with a focus on realism, and they even come from the land of the software pirate (Russia). It hasn't stopped them from having a more customer friendly activation system.

    I'm not familiar with DCS so no comment from me there.

    When you make assertions, as is your right, you should be aware that backing up those assertions with facts behind them bolsters your arguments and stops them being "just" opinions. If you state at the outset that you are "sure they are wrong" - well then please follow up! Otherwise you risk being taken to task, and that would happen face to face and not just on an internet forum.

  3. You know, after 42 years of either working in advertising or studying some aspect of it, mopping floors does not seem like such a bad thing.

    At the end of the day, you can look back at what you've done and say, "It was dirty, and I made it clean. That's a positive thing".

    No, that doesn't sound bad at all.

    Just remember due to budget cuts there is no actual mop. Just dunk your

    head into the suds, get onto your hands and knees and lower your head

    to the floor and start crawling.* (It's works better if you make motor sounds

    at the same time).

    WHOA!

    Devastating riposte, Sirrah! I have been wounded to the quick! I shall need to retire to my corner and have soothing unguents applied to my very psyche!

    Had you but ended with the dreaded "Neener-neener-neener" I would have surely succumbed to the verbal assault and been forced to surrender the field!

    Wow, you really put the heavy brick in your purse that time, didn't you Sparky?

    Do you really think you are worth more than a child-like reply. Suits you, I think.
