As I said, BFC were the ones who uncovered this, and chose to include it in their games rahter than just going with the longstanding myths. The reference is the game.I have to suppose you're being completely serious. That's quite a remarkable claim- if that's true then I was very wrong when I thought I was already as impressed as I would be. Is there a specific thread announcing this, erm discovery, or debunkery, or whatever? Eden</font> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus Posted November 14, 2002 Share Posted November 14, 2002 Irony? That's like Goldy and Brassy but you can make tanks out of it right? It's bad form to post stuff so amusing as to make people splutter tea over their keyboards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of that has anyone noticed even good ol' Col. Glantz refers to the gun on a Panther as an 88 in "When Titans Clashed"? Either that or I thought I was reading that book while actually I was reading "Band of Brothers"....um, yeah, very similar writing styles. Edited to make note of the fact that Mr. Soddball is trumpeting about British hygene while forgetting about British dental "hygene", a.k.a. "black, rotting, and crooked".

Soddball Posted November 15, 2002 Share Posted November 15, 2002 You Americans and your obsession with British teeth! What is it with you people? By the way, "Hygiene" contains an "i". You people - great on teeth and superficiality, nonces when it comes to spelling. Still, I suppose that when the average American weighs only slightly less than the average American car, they have to have something to cheer themselves about. Edited to sing songs to my auntie.

Soddball Posted November 15, 2002 Share Posted November 15, 2002 You're not thinking of my part of Kent. Simon Elwen will confirm - all the best girls come from West Kent - it's where all the public schools are. Edited to clarify for our dim cousins across the water: a 'Public' school in the UK is a selective school where the parents pay fees.

Soddball Posted November 15, 2002 Share Posted November 15, 2002 Good lord, no. That's north of Sevenoaks and isn't even slightly 'county'. One's talking about Royal Tunbridge Wells, don'cherknow. Gorsh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da Beginna Posted November 15, 2002 Share Posted November 15, 2002 You are going for school girls? Well, hopefully they are better than the older ones I know.

Nolloff Posted November 16, 2002 Share Posted November 16, 2002 To Kanonier: Don´t let Andreas fool you. Humour is an alien concept to us. Therefore there are no such words in the German language.
