Ahem.

Thank you. Words fail me. Next inhumation is free, my account. A small quid pro quo though, I've never actually, as it were, made any Crodaballs. Hakkoballs, Berliballs, Seanachaballs, Moriartyballs, Germanballs, Pengballs and menschballs yes. But never Crodaballs.

Are they any good? St Bauhaus? Your cue I believe?

If we knew you were coming we would have arranged a welcome you'd never forget - the Australian Customs full body cavity search with cold gloves.

Regardless, which city are you staying at, and what is your itinerary over the week?

Mace

btw Bauhaus, why do I get nervous when you start taking notice of me? You're not standing up are you?

Milords and Ladies, I give you a creature that, when portrayed as a donkey, demures not. When abused, becomes more affectionate. When tasked with unnatural affections, merely exaggerates them.

But when confronted with a foreigner who claims knowledge of his land and sporting teams, becomes deeply bothered and aggressive.

Dalem, may your hair grow ever more greasy, I bring you the ears of the donkey. Smitten as he was with the fair Seanachai, he failed to take the time to educate his donkeytruppen in the art of urban combat - or even to move them all into town before my Parisian waiters had claimed dibs on the outskirts for a spot of boules. In the firefight that followed Pierre and his friends showcased their peculiarly French approach to "combined arms warfare", viz knocking down large buildings with bazookas and 60mm mortars.

92-8, with Idjit Yeknod surrendering just as I was getting to the good bit (i.e., mowing down his routed troops as they fled crying for their mommas).

Oh, did I mention the artillery? 105mm dropped every single sodding turn. We hate Berli. But in deference to Persephone, the donkey's paddock is untouched.

Your Francophobic squire,

FIX, CONSPIRACY, I was mesmarised by the powder-blue bases underneath the Froggies... (so cute, and well, Frenchy), the Duck had supranatural help from the Gopher and they're both in cahoots worshiping the same idol... its unnatural and plain gamey... REMATCH, I demand a REMATCH...

My my, doesn't the Old Firm dress their lot up in bright colours. Hardly what I was expecting from a venerable institution of their reputation. And a most excellent and nefarious idea to boot. Even though we despise Simon Foxwith a cold ball of unquenchable hate deep within our inner crodas, we hates these Slappycomeslatelys ever so much more. What an insolent little cur he is to be making demands of that which is but the latest shanker in an immeasurable list of boils broken before him. I second Geier – let the grog have my proxy!!!!

Now, we thought that we had alerted customs and border control to repel all cesspoolers, but apparently they are not finsished clubbing defenceless women, children and reporters in the outback. Therefore we must take it on ourselves to demand that Horse Ovaries provide his itinerary to the Australian contingent so that we can monitor his movements properly. Don’t let Mace scare you off with that hummer talk, he stopped all of that when he was given permanent employ with the Victorian government back in the late eighties under a Kennett program to empty other institutions that were not turning a profit.

"Sub-clause J, Section 6: MAKE IT MEMORABLE". Well, you know my French waiters can never resist compliments of their powder-blue fashion sense. You damnable sweet-talker, you.

"The Most Important Bit: SOD OFF NOW". Failed. You're still here. Minus ears and 'nads, mind, but mostly still here, polluting the atmosphere.

Now, two out of three might not be bad for Mr Loaf, but here in the pool standards are a little... lower. So your 1.5-out-of-3 could just about cut it. Sadly, the burdens of my Squirely Quest impose such a psychic pain that I can't bear to contemplate starting TWO new games as the Frenchies in one night.

And as for Freiherr Goanna, Rittmeister von Oz und Überlizard, don't think I didn't notice that you cunningly STOLE the description of you that I gave to the police, viz a sun-crazed lizard with the morals of a flamethrower team. Since the Law is apparently Asleep around here, I expect no monetary recompense, but when the long noose of the animal-control squad slips around your neck, you will know that Justice Is Done.

I'm a bit busy right now, but that doesn't keep me from hating Croda. I think I can hawk up a little loathing for that Elvis character too. Come to think of it, I really despise you all.

This is SOOOOooooo depressing! These SSNs and squires are just horrible, except for PondScum ... I like his name, it shows a real feeling for his place here.

So to take my mind off the the shallowness exhibited here lately I have ...

ooOOOgah, ooOOOgah, ooOOOgah

Game Updates from the JUSTICAR

Agua Perdido continues trying to win through the clever tactic of waiting for me to die ... in real life. If his turns were any slower (and I speak from experience as mine haven't always been the speediest) you could use them to time the continential drift. He has just tried to sneak, that's right SNEAK a platoon around behind my victoriously advancing troops but, HAHA! I had a rear guard guarding my ... uh ... hmmmm.

Mace "claims" that he didn't get my turn ... likely story. We're both tip toeing around on one of Andreas' maps, and THAT'S likely to be the exciting part.

Bauhaus has cleverly moved a platoon up to support his lads in their defense of the village. Well, Cleverly might be a bit strong, he moved them out of cover and had them run across an open field into a bunch of bushes and now is preparing to run across MORE open fields while dodging my mortars and direct fire. I'm encouraging him.

Stuka is nearly ready to lose. We're playing a finely crafted and carefully balanced scenario by Wild Bill ... you can tell because I'm winning, and he's about to lose his last Tiger to my valiant Stuart Horde charging into the side of his immobilized Tiger. Now he claims he has reserves ... {snort} ... his idea of "having reserves" consists of getting a bogged Kublewagen moving again.

Wildman and I have commenced our miserable dark night ... very dark ... very, very dark fight for the village. It's early yet but I predict that his airstrike will NOT do him any good.
