You need a very wealthy and understanding significant other that will grease the wheels of your quest.

tocaff,

Or Christmas.

You guys are too keen to get me married off. [:D]

Best wishes,

Numdydar,

And this is part of the problem.

Imagine the arguments it would cause.

Fledgling World Supremo's Wife: Snugglebunnykins, I think we may need some new curtains for the living room.

Fledgling World Supremo: Hmmm?

Fledgling World Supremo's Wife: And you promised to take me shopping for new curtains last week.

Fledgling World Supremo: Not right now dear. I am about to send my legions of terror into Switzerland.

Fledgling World Supremo's Wife: Doesn't Snugglebunykins love his little Apple Blossom anymore?

Fledgling World Supremo: Of course I do! But, you know, it's the Swiss. All those bloody cookoo clocks and whathaveyou. Best if they are enslaved and sent to the salt mines. That'll teach them.

Fledgling World Supremo's Wife: You could always invade silly Swedenland next week.

Fledgling World Supremo: Switzerland. I have already invaded Sweden.

Fledgling World Supremo's Wife: Snugglebunnykins has already invaded Sweden? What about Ikea?

Fledgling World Supremo: Couldn't find that on the map. When I do - I'll invade it.

You get the idea....

Best wishes,
Steve

Well, the gaming tin now stands at £12. This means there are only 178 weeks to go before my quest for world domination begins.

Sadly, my attempt to enslave the known universe may be cut short. I have contracted a life-threating virus that is running rampant through my body and I am slipping away fast. Barely have enough strength to type these few words. I think I might have one more Lemsip, open yet another box of tissues, and retire to bed. It is doubtful if I will survive the night....

Dear Mrs Warspite1,

Thank you for your tender concern over my tragic condition.

As I am sure Mr W can tell you, if you manage to drag him away from the computer, while female-type women people of the opposite sex have nothing worse than a slight snuffle, the male of species has to suffer the most appalling consequences of the this devastating virus.

Managing to survive the night despite being wracked by fever, hacked by a rasping cough, general wheezing, and frequent sneezing, I have reemerged this day as a mere shadow of my former self despite the application of superior will power as befits any would be conquerer of the world.

I am sure this news will be of great comfort to you.

Best wishes,
Steve

Will people please stop trying to get me married off!

Please see the post by Mrs Warspite1 if you need any understanding of why I avoid the female of species like the plague.

The biggest problem I have found in attempting world conquest is a lack of minions. Your recovery and lack of funds could all be resolved if you had just one or two minions in your service.

I should also point out to those people that are not familiar with minions is that spouses and/or children, while many think they are a good substitute for a minion, they are definately not. Matter of fact, once you have a spouse and/or children, finding minions is almost impossible [:(]

So by staying single, shunwick is at least improving his chances (although still very small since minions tend to be attracted to fame and fortune which I assume he has none of either) of attaining one. I wish you the best in your endevors.

Numdydar,

Not sure that your analysis is totally correct. While it is certainly true that evil minions are top of the wanted list, it should be remembered that Herr Hitler had neither fame nor fortune and yet attracted evil minions by the score. Comrade Stalin gives another example.

When the time comes, I plan to place an add in the local press.

Best wishes,
Steve

Speaking as someone who has his own minions, I must say their value must not be underestimated nor undervalued :)

I totally agree. I had minions at one point as well, but sadly due to economic misfortune, I lost them. It seems once you have them and lose them it is fiendishly hard to attract them back [:(]

I am sadly noticing the effects of your quest. The weapon that you have unleashed is a serious threat to me and my staff. Our lives seem forfeit as is our resistance you your empire. All might not be over if the biological hazard team manage to find a cure but at this point it seems like a unlikely outcome since they seem affected as well.

Perhaps it is all for the best since I prefer to go down sobbing rather than being enslaved by shunwick and his minions.

Orm,

You may need to rethink that. When I begin hiring souless minions I expect them to look like this.

Best wishes,
Steve

Hey shunwick, what about spare change? I found over the course of a week I can get $2-$3 worth of change.
