David Aitken Posted August 15, 2001 Share Posted August 15, 2001 I am knackered, having spent several days marching around Edinburgh and not sleeping much. It is the Edinburgh Festival, that time of the year when the city is swamped with Japanese, Americans, Russians, Polish and probably every other nationality in the world, in addition to the usual majority of English and Australians. These are not to be confused with the Kurdish asylum seekers, who we deport to Glasgow to play Dodge The Bottles And Knives with the neds. I have been to see some fine Polish comrades from Theatre Provisorium, a top Aussie feller called Mark Little, a cool American dude called Rich Fulcher, some more American dudes from the Reduced Shakespeare Company, and some splended English chaps including former Dr Who, Sylvester McCoy. I shall soon be seeing several more English chaps and American dudes, the latter from LAByrinth and Boom Chicago. I missed the opportunity to see some singing Swedes who get naked, but there is one show in particular, performed by a nubile young Englishwoman without any clothes on called Ursula Martinez (the woman not the clothes), which I intend not to see because it might corrupt my sensibilities. What this all means is that any turns I send at the moment will display the tactical competence of a tired, cross-eyed llama, as opposed to my usual standard of energetic, cross-eyed llama. And Germany should have won the war, because then the trains might run on time. And I've worked out why Elvis uses DeclanMac for his e-mail moniker. Sounds like an unhealthy obsession to me. If Rich Fulcher ever puts on a show near you, go see it. His current one is called Mom, I'm Not A Lawyer, so he should already have a few interested parties in the world-renowned Peng Thread. PS. You all suck, but you don't need me to tell you that. Aussies get mild dispensation for Mark Little, aka Joe Mangel from Neighbours. PPS. I'm typing and I can't shut up. I could save someone the cost of a few monkeys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer Leader Posted August 15, 2001 Author Share Posted August 15, 2001 Boo hoo, my computer is broken. I am here on my daughters measly old pentium 233, with no graphics card, and hence no Combat Mission. It won't support my high speed cable modem, so I am forced to use this crappy compuserve I made the mistake of signing up for 2 years ago. (And they offered me four hundred dollars -- I thought it was a bargain, sheesh...) Needless to say, my computer troubles are enough to keep me offline for a few days. My computer is packed up and ready to ship off to someone who claims he can fix it. But I fear the golden days are setting. Back soon! Sorry for the frownies, but drastic times call for drastic emoticons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lars Posted August 15, 2001 Share Posted August 15, 2001 Oh, go buy a video card for your daughter, Sancho. Or are you too cheap to come off the $20? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Aitken Posted August 15, 2001 Share Posted August 15, 2001 That reminds me, the repair people have had my old monitor for the past few weeks. Months. Maybe I should call up and ask whether they've fixed it yet, or at least how much they made from tightening the screw that was causing the problem and then selling it as new on the black market.

Panzer Leader Posted August 15, 2001 Author Share Posted August 15, 2001 Oh, one last thing before I spend a few days in Real life: I blame jd for my computer crash. I was doing a set-up for some GODAWFUL big scenario -- on the order of divisional strength, 100 sq. Km or something, when my computer suddenly said "Screw it." My only condolence is knowing that I will never actually have to PLAY that horror. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisl Posted August 15, 2001 Share Posted August 15, 2001 Well, now that mouse is incommunicado for a few days I suggest that we finish up this thread and start a new one before he reappears.

Joe Shaw Posted August 15, 2001 Share Posted August 15, 2001 A wise man once said, "Gamey is as Gamey Does" ... oh wait, that was ME. In any case I have the duty to report to the CessPool that one Australian, Mace to be specific, has engaged in the most unseemly and gamey behavior of all. The attached screenshot provides conclusive proof that he ... well, look a the screenshot first: Note that MY MG crew is captured and IS BEING FORCED AT GUNPOINT TO LEAD HIS ATTACK UPON A HOUSE OCCUPIED BY MY FORCES! Trust an Australian to resort to such disreputable and dishonorable tactics. For shame Mace. Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trust an Australian to resort to such disreputable and dishonorable tactics. For shame Mace.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> That is incorrect, the weather as indicated in the graphic, was snowy. Concerned as I always am by the wellbeing of my POWs I decided to place him in the nearest dry building for his comfort. He thanked me from rescuing him from the command of that tyrant (ie you), and then in his eagerness ran to it to make himself comfortable, while thankful that he at least was now under the command of someone who cared. It is you SIR!!! who decided to spring an ambush from said building soon afterwards, resulting in this one POW becoming caught in crossfire, and overjoyed that he was wearing khaki colored trousers (don't want certain fear-induced stains showing up). I sleep well at night, happy that I have at least brought joy to one little pixelated warrior POW. Do you? Mace btw I noticed that you had www.derkessel.com host your happy snappy, I would have accused you of brainwashing Mensch, but we all realise what that would imply!
