Oh come on now. You UK Dogz should tell the truth about Cricket, after all you are among friends here. In point of fact, Cricket is a bizarre British sexual fetish. Which strangely enough, is enjoyed by the Indians as well. If you need to be convinced, just consider the terms used in the game. "Pitch", "Sticky Wickets" and best of all "Creases", ....... the entire game just oozes with sexual innuendoes. Cricket is basically a British form of Foreplay, sort of like the Germans with their latex and rubber fetish. Of course the German latex fetish involves both males and females, while Cricket is male only. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

I had never heard of this one before. http://www.ghostgrey.gaetanmarie.com/articles/2010/Japanese%20Mustang/Evalina%20%20-%20The%20Japanese%20Mustang.htm

Well, at least he has his priorities in the correct order. But I would love to meet his wife. Bucket Loads indeed.

I had a bat. I found it hanging upside down sleeping, near the entrance of a cave. I captured it in a jar and took it home and placed it in an old bird cage. That night we discovered that a bat could squeeze its body through the bars of the bird cage. My mother was not amused. Thinking about sharp cheddar cheese and a glass of port.

Please stay out of Africa and the Middle East, unless you are working for a Western government or a large Multi-National corporation.

Nice screen shots

Happy Birthday Gentlemen.

It's very simplified. If you try and use the historical power settings (RPM and MP) that are available for many of the aircraft that we fly for such things as Take Off, Climb, Cruise and Economical Cruise, you will quickly see how simplified it is. From my testing, the way to get the most out of an aircraft is to use the percentages that are displayed on-screen. As an example, 85% power works best with 85% pitch.

~S~ BadAim Mate, before you run off to the frozen tundra of Canada, please consider the Republic of Texas. You and your modest gun collection will be welcome there. In fact, if you want to fit in, you may need to add to it.

Great. Just what I need, smarter AI.

Interestingly enough, I just finished reading the Hobbit and I'm about half way through the first volume of the Trilogy, The Fellowship of the Rings. With all the uproar, unrest and uncertainty going on in Egypt right now, it's the perfect thing to read.

BRILLIANT

Certainly you can. But Snacko, Skyrim is a fantasy game and you should really try and create a character that is some sort of fantasy alter ego. Duplicating your real life as an insane psychopathic serial killer, is not really what the game is all about.

Happy Birthday Mate.

As Fruitbat said you can do anything you wish to do. Skyrim is a hugely improved new chapter to the Elder Scroll series that picks up a couple of hundred years after Oblivion. Like Oblivion, it is a completely open world. You can go anywhere and do anything you please. It's your character and you can completely ignore the quests, if that is want you want to do. You are not forced down a narrow path from quest to quest. If you want to be a wandering Knight Errant/vigilante crime fighter, you can do it. If you want to be psychopathic serial killer, you can do it. If you want to be an iron ore miner and Blacksmith, you can turn the iron into weapons and sell them for cold hard cash If you want to be a hunter, you can live in the woods and sell the meat that you harvest to the folks in the cities. If you want to be an alcoholic brawler, who lives from drink to drink and is constantly in jail, you can do that too.

Wow, what Mod is that?

That comes close to describing my dog fighting style. The more I read about Skyrim the better is sounds. It looks like they really did their homework and learned a lot of lessons from Oblivion. Come over here and live for a couple of years mate. I'll show you stranger creatures than pixies and fairies, and they are much more heavily armed. I've done some reading and have learned that it is much more varied. The cities are supposed to be very big, but unlike Oblivion, there are supposed to be a lot of smaller towns and villages. And some truly wild wilderness areas. Will it work with a mouse and key board? Or will I need a controller?

Good screen shots. Are those your own, or are they official publicity shots. Skyrim looks to be much more desolate than Cyrodiil. Or are you just spending a lot of time out in the wilderness? As far as dragons, Skyrim seems to be fairly well populated with them. I will have to admit that dragons are rarely seen here in Egypt. We do have a host of scorpions, desert vipers and cobras. And the worst scourge of all, the un-licensed micro-buses. The Egyptians call them “Rolling Coffins”. I knew that Skyrim had been released, but I had not really looked into it. My computer will not even begin to run CLoD, so I didn’t believe that it stood a prayer of running Skyrim. But after being spurred on by your screen shots and Jedi’s two NVidia guides that he graciously placed in the Howl Box, I ran my system through one of the “Can I Run It” evaluators, and it seems that my rig will run it fairly well. Not great, but well enough. Thanks for sharing.

First we get shots of Rox and Fruitbat wandering around Mordor and now we get shots of Fruitbat exploring what looks like Skyrim. I'm jealous.

A Hotel? I have absolutely no doubt that Bucky and his Ox Babe are in a camp. Of course I may be confusing Bucky with another famous logger.

~S~ Friar I appreciate your kind offer Mate, but right now that will not be necessary. Things are actually fairly calm here right now. The locals have not burnt down anything news worthy in several weeks. Crime is still sky high, but that apparently is going to be the new normal in Post Revolutionary Egypt. Please forgive me if I appeared to be ungrateful for the help that you did provide for me. I did not understand that Sister Jonathan was the Advanced Party. The sister in charge of the operation was vague as to the details of how large a contingent of Sisters was coming to Cairo. I’m sure it was a simple matter of Operational Security. And, as I am sure you are well aware, Sister Jonathan doesn’t talk a whole lot. Except to himself. He spent most of the time that he was here staring out of the window, while sharpening a rather large knife. The occasional weeping was a little disturbing.

~S~ Friar, Mate, you could have saved yourself a great deal of time, money and effort simply by not buying wine from a bunch of Communists Frenchmen. I personally believe that a UK bases Priory should be trying to support the handful of surviving English and Welsh wineries. I would think that it would be in the best interest of the Priory to keep those winery jobs in......"This sceptred isle, This earth of majesty, This other Eden, demi-paradise, This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England." I will also admit that I am shocked and dismayed about learning of the existence of the O.L.E.P. You seem to have an entire detachment of highly trained and very female Sisters. Yet in my darkest hour of need, you were only willing to dispatch Sister Jonathan to Cairo. Could this have something to do with the fact that I've been flying Rise of Flight a lot here lately?

~S~ Friar I never meant to imply that all of the Sisters were transvestites. If I gave that impression, I would like to offer you and the Sisters my most sincere apology. I was referring to “Sister” Jonathan, who if you will recall was the only one of your Sisters that you were willing to send to Cairo. Friar, I fully understand the incredible burden that you must be under trying to tend to the Spiritual needs of the UK Dogz. Just hearing and granting absolution for ALL of the UK Dogz’ Mortal Sins must surely make for 20 hour days. With so little time to call your own, I can easily understand why you would want to have all of the female Sisters there with you.

As usual, Rog is being a tactful gentleman. The Danger Dogz are indeed an Adults Only group. And sick, twisted adults at that. The sheep, Painless and his many fetishes, Friar and his transvestite Nuns, the list of perversions just goes on and on. This place is truly beyond description. That's why we like it here.

I’m not sure that anything written below is correct. But it’s the first thing that I have seen that offers any sort of explanation ======================================================================================================= Galloping Ghost crash Ok... here's the skinny on the accident.... A P-51 normally has two trim tabs.. one on each elevator... this one had one and other one was fixed in place.. The pilot was warned about the forces being put on that one tab. When it failed, he had at least a 10G load when the plane pitched up from the loss of the trim tab and he most likely passed out from the sudden G load. (Remember, the pilot Jim Leeward was 74) and he probably never woke up. ======================================================================================================= Here's the “theory” of the crash from experienced racers. In 1989 this type of thing happened to another pilot but he lived to tell the story. When flying a P-51 at 450+mph you need to have full nose down trim to keep the plane level. The elevator trim tab broke off and the aircraft imediately went in to a 10G climb, confirmed by the G-meter. The pilot came to, from the sudden blackout and realized he had slipped through the shoulder harness and was looking at the floor of the airplane. He was able to reach the throttle and pull it back to slow down and was able to recover and land. ======================================================================================================= Fast forward to 2011 Photo one is the airplane taxiing, note the pilots head in the canopy. Photo two is typical oil canning as a result of the tremendous torque these engines put out at high power. Photo three is a photo of GG upside down with a missing elevator trim tab. Note all you see is the back of the pilots head indicating he is being forced down in the cockpit. Photo four is a view of the left side nose down with the tail wheel extended and no view of the pilot. The tail wheel is held up by hydraulics only with no mechanical uplock, thus indicating a high G-force causing it to extend. Photos five and six are from the left side prior to impact, note no view of the pilot and the tail wheel is still extended. Photo seven is the debris just after the crash. To the right of center above the crowd it appears to be the wing with the leading edge down. The people were mostly hit by chunks of concrete, asphalt and aircraft debris. They were also hurt by the trampling of people getting out of the way.
