Bought Red Orchestra.  Either I'm some kind of sniping god or I'm playing on the wrong servers....

Or both...

I found my answer. It was the server one [:D] I managed to get onto a server with a decent number of people, I may be rubbish but the game is great so far! A bit like Battlefield 2 but without so many whining kiddies (but a few more Nazis), and the added advantage that you can't just jump into a tank and drive it. You need to be a tank crewman.

Ok. [:D]

However, I hereby put in a motion to add 'Twat' to the "missing list".

+ 1, T*** is a very good word. It's not as satisfying as that other word when things go wrong, but is more easily used without upsetting people.

In my vulgarian lexicon, the t*** word is rivaled by the shock value of only c***, IMO. One's the nuclear option, the other conventional carpet bombing.

Wow...how unusual:

1. Who would have thought that such blood rivals as MSN and Yahoo would collaborate on such a lottery?
2. Who would have thought that Microsoft would *ever* allow the term "Yahoo Windows" to appear on a promotion without someone getting the **** sued out of them?
3. Why capitalize "Month" [sic] in the first paragraph?
4. How could a run-on sentence (one sentence first paragraph) ever pass muster with the "Yahoo Windows" crowd?
5. Why is MSN capitalized in some places in this message and referenced as "Msn" in other locations? Shouldn't an acronym like that always be in caps?
6. My "claims is processed"? Great...[8|]
7. Why do they need to know my next of kin? [X(]
8. Ad infinitum correction of format, grammar and syntax errors...[>:]
9. I wonder if "Mrs. Shina Patery" has Britany's contact information? Per-would you know? [:D]

CB you t***!! [X(] Did you not read the section:

"you are advised to keep your winning information confidential till your claims is processed and your money remitted to you. This is part of our precautionary measure to avoid double claiming and unwarranted abuse of this program, Please be warned".

You may have forfeited your prize now [:-]. What's the matter with you man? [X(]

[Chickenboy]

I may have to throw myself on the mercy of "Msn" [sic] or appeal to "Yahoo Windows" for clemency / mercy. [:D]

[Chickenboy]

Just curious: would I have to fill in blank #3 with "No thanks, we're British"? [&:][:'(]

CB you are clearly no boffin. You must be feeling a bit of a gormless prat having lost the chance to win, what was clearly, a pukka prize. I'm afraid with your twee remarks and childish jiggery-pokery you have completely knackered your chances. Its no use having a whinge now - its your fault. My advice is to have a goodly amount of plonk, and then chunter the stuff up once the stupidity of your action sinks in.

P.S - Merriam Webster would be pleased [;)]

Merriam Webster - whoever she is, may prefer proper grammar. However, I also think she would like to see endings to sentences:

"How will your pukka defenses on Malay stand?"

Do you mean stand up per chance? [:'(][:'(]

I think she would also like all ten words used in one sitting [;)]. Something you clearly failed to do - along with failing to keep your winnings secret until they is processed [;)].

[Chickenboy]

Alright. You've got me dead to rights. P***! [:D]
