Wow, I can only imagine the stress you must have been under. I’m relieved to hear that you are doing better now. Just take it easy and concentrate on getting your strength back.

Happy Birthday Mate. I’m glad to hear that you are enjoying your vacation, but I am distressed to know that you’re in that much pain. I hope that they are giving you something more effective for pain relief than red wine.

Given their busy schedule taking care of your personal needs, when did the Sisters have the time to build that?

Better late than never. Happy Birthday Mate.

Mate, if you only knew how happy that would make them. What you have in mind, would be a version of paradise on earth for a lot of Arab males. The gay nightclubs would be an instant hit. So many Arab males are homosexual, or at best bi-sexual, that gay nightclubs would be filled to capacity every night and most of the day. The butcher shop selling pork would also do a booming business. Arabs that can afford it eat pork. Arabs that have money think that they can make their own rules. They are pious in public, but behind closed doors their motto is “Eat, Drink and be Merry”, it’s only the poorest members of Muslim societies who are expected to follow the strict dietary laws. The lingerie shop would also do a good business. Arab department stores are full of lingerie stores with scantily clad mannequins (inside the shop). What most westerners don’t understand is that the Head to Toe Burka that Muslim women wear is simply an outer garment that is worn in public. They take the Burka off once they get inside their home. What they wear under the Burka can be as simple as a pair of jeans and a blouse. But when they are in the mood, Muslim women can wear outfits under their Burkas that would be racy for a New York prostitute. The Adult Toy Shop would be a money make as well. You just have to make sure that you stock the store with top of the line merchandise. http://www.smh.com.au/world/strangebuttrue/saudi-pays-stiff-price-for-sex-toy-20090806-eah1.html Finally there is the Liquor Store. That would be another enterprise that would make money. Arabs drink and they drink a lot. If you have the right contacts, you can buy alcohol anywhere in the Muslim world. So Mate, the plan you’ve describe goes far beyond Tolerance. What you are proposing is to construct a small version of Muslim Paradise right at the edge of Ground Zero. Sorry, I didn’t mean to launch into a rant. The average Arab and the average Muslim are not bad people. But the rich and politically powerful in this part of the world have an arrogance that has to be experienced to be believed.

Texans have always had a reputation for being very resourceful.

That looks great BG, very well done.

You did a really nice job Mate.

~S~ JP Mate, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. You need to move to Texas.

Happy Birthday Mate.

Nice photos Sweper and a beautiful city.

Happy Birthday Mate.

The Backscatter X-Ray vans we use will produce photos just as the article shows. But what the article doesn’t tell you is that the van must drive past the target vehicle at a very, very slow speed. You just can’t drive past a vehicle at anything approaching a normal speed and get acceptable results. We use these X-Ray vans at Check Points where vehicles are forced to stop. Then the van can slowly scan the vehicle.

:k9lmao: That is Hilarious.

Happy Birthday Gentlemen

~S~ Jedi Thanks, Mate. I’ll have to look into this. It definitely looks much better than Red Orchestra. But let me ask you this. Are you saying that you can simultaneously drive the tank and man the turret? That was the real downside to playing Red Orchestra solo. You had to stop the tank and then pop into the turret, you needed at least two people if you wanted to use realistic tank tactics. Also, is it possible to have two or more people in the same tank in this game? If you could have a human driver, gunner and tank commander, you could have a very realistic tank simulator. You could even throw in a human hull gunner position for extra fun. I’ll have to add this to my list of things to buy. But it will have to wait until I’ve got RoF ICE and a TrackIR 5. I’ve got to force myself to use a little restraint and self control.

So you’re saying that you can’t get into the tanks at all? The only thing you can do is zoom the gun sight? That doesn’t sound very realistic. Now this is a beta, does anyone know if they are planning to have proper crew positions modeled? In the first clip it seems to show a guy in the driver’s position. Is that just a cut scene of some sort? I was hoping that this was going to be a vastly improved version of Red Orchestra, where you had to have a real tank crew, of at least a driver and a commander/gunner. And what is this business about earning Gold, and buying upgrades? When you’re earning Gold, there are usually Elves running about. Are you guys sure that this is a tank simulator and not an Eastern Front version of Grand Theft Panzer?

:k9lmao: Here’s my contribution. A woman told her husband that she wanted to have plastic surgery to enlarge her breasts. Her husband tells her, "You don't need surgery to do that." She asks, "How do I do it without surgery?" Her husband answers, "Just rub a piece of toilet paper between your breasts every day." "How does that make them bigger?", she asked. "I’m not sure, but it work for your butt."

That’s not true my friend. When I was in Iraq in 2005, we found bunker after bunker filled with Weapons of Mass Destruction. Artillery shells filled with Nerve Gas to be precise. The discovery of WMD was on the news for about a day and a half and then the story was killed. It turned out that the Nerve Gas shells were all made in the Good Old USA. We had shipped them to Saddam Hussein back when he was fighting the Iranians in the 1980s.

Thank God. JP and the sheep are bad enough.

Happy Birthday Gentlemen

This is getting ridiculous. First we had BadAim and Snacko, now we have T_O_A_D and Fastdad. BUT as JP pointed out, anyone who has put up with T_O_A_D for so long, deserves to be allowed in. Welcome to the Danger Dogz, Fastdad.

Mate, “Just gonna take it” is a bit harsh. We prefer to think of it as just borrowing it for a while. And Fruitbat is spot on. Since our negotiations with the Canadian Government have come to naught, we’ve opened negotiations with BG enterprises. Once BG finishes his underground system of pipelines, we should have all the water that we need.
