  1. Great to see an old grog like you back modding!!!
  2. I know there is no chance of it happening but personally I would have much preferred to have seen the three base games, Normandy, Market Garden then The Bulge come out and then modules added to them later.
  3. ' Sound of fingers drumming impatiently on computer desk.'
  4. Great work Scipio. I went to your webpage and took your Small Arms Icons and Compass too. Thanks.
  5. Yes the best referee on the All Blacks tour of 1905 was undoubtably Mr. Dallas of Scotland
  6. It's better than it used to be. Wasn't there a famous occasion during, I believe the 1959 Lions tour to New Zealand, when the All Black scrum half asked the referee Pat Murphy, a New Zealander, " Whos put in for the scrum ref ?" " Ours" said Mr. Murphy.
  7. Lol. Saucer of milk for Affentitten please.
  8. Not a great spectacle for us neutrals but well done to New Zealand for winning and to France for making a game of it.
  9. These are good points and fair comment. Now we all wait to see what the referee does in the Final when the same situation arises and an AB is the tackler.
  10. JonS.Please predict a French victory in the Final.
  11. JonS.Looking at your previous predictions I am now an extremely worried Welsh supporter.
  12. OK.Here's the first line of the anthem phonetically just to get you started....'My hen wuhlad vunn narth eye uhn anwoil ee mee'....then pretend you know the rest like a lot of the team do.
  13. In the early Seventies I was on a rugby tour of Scotland which coincided with the game celebrating the centenary of the SRU. Must have been Scotland v Rest of the World or something. We were just an insignificant little club from the Monmouthshire valleys but while we were out boozing one night on Princes Street we ran into some of the Rest of the World squad. Amongst them were All Black Alastair Scown and the Australian fullback Russell Fairfax. Scown was great and mixed well with us but I particularly remember Fairfax because he was so competely unpretentious and down to earth and I remember thinking there wouldn't be many British International rugby players who would have deigned to party with us while it seemed that to Fairfax we were just some more young rugby players out on the town and he stayed out with us through the night. I have always since had an affection for Australian rugby.
  14. Affentitten. That's a sad read. I didn't realise things were so bad with Australian rugby.
  15. Yes I think both teams struggled a bit and the weather down there can't be helping anyone, just watched the first half of France v Canada and the best tactic was definitly the old Garryowen. I'm just relieved Wales got past that massive banana skin for us, Samoa.
  16. Fantastic as ever. Hope you keep going till you've retextured everything.!!!!!!!!!!!
  17. There have been many definitions of hell, but for the English the best definition is that it is the place where the Germans are the police, the Swedish are the comedians, the Italians are the defense force, Frenchmen dig the roads, the Belgians are the pop singers, the Spanish run the railways, the Turks cook the food, the Irish are the waiters, the Greeks run the government, and the common language is Dutch. Remember this one?....
  18. He must have been pretty noticeable in Spartanburg South Carolina with that helmet on!! Great uniforms mj. Looking forward to these.
  19. I believe it was simply opportunism on the part of Labour Party politicians who, recognising that they were fighting a largely hostile popular press managed by Murdoch and with unpopular policies that went against Thatchers 'greed is good' and 'let market forces decide' ideas, lurched subtly but definitely to the Right in order to get themselves elected as an 'alternative' to her and her successors.
  20. Our problem as an electorate is that all British political parties are now to all intents and purposes the same party. The old socialist Labour Party died with Blair whos first act as Prime Minister was to pay a respectful visit to Margaret Thatcher, one of the most divisive and anti working class political leaders this country has ever had. Her favourite target was of course the miners of this country who as a Union had far too much power for her liking and who she once famously called 'the enemy within'. It's ironic isn't it that where people like Napoleon, the Kaiser, Hitler and the miners themselves failed to bring this country down, ultimately it could just be the Tories great friends and supporters, the Bankers who might.
