LOL guys[:D]

If you're not careful i'll post a pic of me on here and you can see what a lean mean fighting machine I really am [;)]

English food - I have to say I rarely eat what I would term as English food. Mainly Chinese, Indian, Thai, Mexican etc.

I actually did have fish and chips the other day but that was like the first time in a couple of years.

Out of interest what would you guys class as 'typical' English food?

swift - Don't people in your neck of the woods eat lots of sausage etc? Enough to pile on the pounds I would guess [;)]

I know some English food - I got exiled there due to my bad English marks ( in 1984 I think ), after that I had better marks, but I hated English food and fast food ( only alternative to eat something back than ).
The other parts of the UK are more or less ok. The year after my first exile I was in Torquay for 6 weeks. The following years I was in Scottland, Irland, US, and Canada. It did improve my English a bit - but my teachers really hated the idioms I used [:D]

Stevie, you were here a few years back AFAIK. But you´d probably only made a dive into all those beers [;)]

Hi bud,

Sure sounds good. If I come to your neck of the woods next year we'll arrange a meetup. Probably in a public bar so a beer or 2 can be consumed [;)]

Hi VS,

Good to see you around. Hope all is well.

Steven

Hi Steve,

Completely missed this post. I'm very well thank you. I'm now permanently back in the real world (well Ireland anyway), beats the hell out of Saudi.

Cheers

Hi VS,

I can think of far worse places to go back to other than Ireland. Fantastic place [:)]

Hi Steve,

I agree Ireland is great, just my feeble attempt at humour. I'm happy as a pig in s**t and looking forward to future developements.

Best Regards

> BUT, we need new plane images !!!!! <

do you really play with A/C graphics on, or just with the boxes on ??


Werner

hey Folks,
Could someone please tell me how to turn the 'boxes" on. I don't like the a/c graphics but can't figure it out. I'm hoping not using the plane graphics may help cut down on the constant CTDs I'm experiencing. thanks

Chris

this is what a raid looks like when it is plane icons

as you can see, there is a raid of B-17s, with some P-38s flying cover for them, a group of P-51 Bs has just about joined up with them
