My friend , With my size,age and experince I could probably easily drink you under the table. Are you seriously challeging me? [:D][:D][:D] Like all youngsters , you think drinking is a game for the young. It's not. Getting hammered and embarrasing yourself is. [:D] For you it's a game, for us old geezers, it's an art. [:D]

Well, I've never been much of a drinker. I've certainly never been a sailor. But for all that, I'm certain I could give you a run for your money. [:'(]

Jackson and Madonna were great , but my favorite is "Amish Paradise".[:D] And of course two of his own. Christmas at ground zero and One more minute. [:D]

Very true. [:D]

Theres a trooper. I still wouldnt discount the KB, thought.

There's no risk of that happening. He's lost most of his initial batch of good pilots, but the hulls are still in the game to be refilled.

Edited: Spelling/grammar.

If I were your opponent, I would get the squadrons up to strength and go find some lower hanging fruit to pick at to build them up and attempt to give you fits at the same time. [:)]

That seems fair. If the results are replicated, then tough noogies for your friend. [:D]

On the other hand, if the rest of his escort launches, the locals will have a lot of scrap metal to turn in. Everyone's a winner. [:D]

I did that once playing the allies in a WITP vanilla Guad scenario. Load up Port Moresby with lots of AA ,Put up P-40's and F4F's as top cover , then put some P-39's at low level. My opponents zeros were massacred. It was really ugly for him! [:D]

Wow, the AE grand campaign has such a huge scale!  As anally retentive as I am, it could take weeks before I get everything set the way I want to start off.  At least I have the most patient opponent in the world right now.  [:D]

After a good 4-6 hours, I've covered the off map bases, North America, and Hawaii/Midway.  I still need to go back to those areas and get some AK's started loading, but very little will be leaving any ports until I have escorts available.  I also need to go back and set up all the restricted command squadrons to participate in my training program.  A lot of my time has been spent just soaking things in and starting to get a vague idea of what the big picture looks like.

I think I still have a slight case of RAM envy of T's new computer.  [:D]

Hey, J'ai vu ton mec avec une autre fille
Il semblait dans un autre monde
Va te Cacher Sunday Girl
Quand je t'ai revu l'été J'ai décidé
Si ton amour était pareil au Mien
Je peux rester Sunday girl
Dépêche-toi
Dépêche-toi et attend
Toute la semaine absent et pourtant j'attend
J'ai le cafard, je t'en prie viens voir
Ce que ton amour représente pour moi
Dépêche-toi, dépêche-toi et attend
Toute la semaine absent et pourtant j'attend
J'ai le cafard, je t'en pris viens voir
Ce que ton amour représente pour moi

[JWE]

Nice. Very nice, but lo, how the Empire has fallen. Am gratified, however, to know that my (relatively) English speaking cousins know a bit more French than is necessary to order from a continental menu. Curious, though what Tsvetaeva or Ehrenberg could make of Devuska Voskresenye.

Sorry, am I getting too Pasternakski with this? Don't mean to be, just having fun.

Whoa - JWE invented a new adjective; being "Pasternaksi"! What really scares me though, is that I understand perfectly what it entails [:D]

So Dixie , are we counting this as 70's number or 80's? If I recall Blondie released it in Europe in 79. And other places in 1980.[&:]

Woof !! I feel inadequate; a new term - being Pasternakski - wow. Because our Swedish speaking brothers discovered this amazing new linguistic artifact, they should have the opportunity of defining it.

In Russian, it's a pain, way too many sylables, so what would it be in Swedish? C'mon Per, make it happen.

Ciao. John

Oh, my transcendental God !!! lookin at the tube and see "Alice in Wonderland" by Tim Burton, with Johnny Depp !! coming soon !! Can be thinking about a mature looking 17 year old wanting a serious four day relationship with an older man for fun and frolics with a gnarly movie. Oooh Rahh!

I'm going to agree with Steve on this, it was not all rap. We had Oasis, Blur, The Verve, Pulp, Ocean Colour Scene, Stone Roses, James, Garbage, Men at Work. There was some good stuff towards the end as well, the Stereophonics and Travis.


And, er, Take That, Boyzone and the Spice Girls [8|]


I've got to admit to a bit of 80's nostalgia though. The Clash, Elvis Costello, Genesis. Dear Thread I'm uncool [:D] And the Kinks.

If liking The Clash, Elvis Costello, Genesis and the Kinks is "uncool", I guess that's what I am. Blur, Garbage and The Verve were good.

Loathed Oasis, though. My Good Thread, they sucked.

I liked Oasis, they peaked with What's the Story. Their recent stuff was pretty pants really, except the importance of being idle. But that's just one song.

I think the only band since 2000 that's made it onto my playlist is the Kaiser Chiefs. The Verve stopped me from going mental in Al Udeid a couple of summers ago, almost every radio station was playing Kid Rock's song. BFBS was playing Love is Noise instead.

Dixie (et. al.): I have a very strong liking of some of the Brit trance / electronica outfits from the 1990s and early 2000s. Colourbox and Way out West spring to mind as some of the best in the genre. I know a few Colourbox hits made top 10 lists out there ("The Moon is Blue" became a college love anthem). What say you?
