Hi all,

Just finished Turn 1 of a restart of the Steel Wolves grand campaign, and for the first time EVAH, I was ahead of the curve!

252,000 tons sunk in the month of September, 1939. HMS Furious sunk by a mine. No U-Boats lost. Maximum number of victory points scored (10).

It won't last, obviously, but it's a solid start.

Kristian, did you finish previous campaigns you played (I think you said 4)?

How did you fare?

Finished one shorter campaign (draw), lost one full campaign, and abandoned the remaining two.

RGR!

BTW, you abandoned two campaigns due to some bad decisions in game that you made?

Hi all,

I'm just hoping that the blonde bimbo driver was from somewhere other than the United States of America. [X(]

Bentley has French registration... so there is hope... [;)]

Yeah. It was the first two attempts, while I was still learning the rules.

Suuuure... Why don't I bring it with me when I'm in London next week, and you can pop down and pick it up?

Sure thing! You all saw that right? [:D] I'm on leave, so which day is best for you? [:'(]

Phbhtpbthpt-day...[:'(]

I am shocked that you would renege on a typed agreement on an internet forum

Sorry olde chap, but technically there was no 'meeting of the minds' on this. The four 'u' s in 'Suuure...' are suspect for their verity. The next sentence is merely a question, but doesn't presuppose any agreement.

I just presumed he had a typing impediment that causes T to slur his words. I thought it would be against current equality & diversity laws, not to mention incredibly insensitive, to draw attention to any such potential disabilities.

Hi al,

Oops, it's a £700,000 prang... Hapless blonde crashes her Bentley into a Merc, Porsche, Ferrari and Aston Martin

By DailyMail UK


When in Monte Carlo, everything is done in style. And that includes crashing your car.

This was the moment when a woman driver caused a £700,000 five-car pile-up as her Bentley collided with a Mercedes, Ferrari, Porsche and Aston Martin.

Disaster struck as the hapless blonde negotiated the traffic around the Place du Casino in her £250,000 Bentley Azure.

The driver of a white Mercedes S Class worth £75,000 was the first victim as the 2.7-ton Bentley scraped down the side of it before ploughing into a £143,000 black Ferrari F430.


Hope you're insured, madam: A policeman tries to sort out the chaos beside Monte Carlo's Place du Casino:

An Aston Martin Rapide worth £150,000 and an £80,000 Porsche 911 also came a cropper. The driver and her two passengers then suffered the embarrassment of being surrounded by tourists as they were unable to open the doors of the convertible.

It is estimated the crash will cost more than £40,000 with the Ferrari, Porsche and Aston Martin requiring new front wings and bumpers. The Bentley will need the same repairs, plus a new door.


Chaos: A staggering £685,000 worth of supercars were involved in the inpromptu game of demolition derby:

Ruud Poot, editor of European motoring website Autogespot, said: 'You probably couldn't find a worse place in the world to crash your car than outside Monaco's Place du Casino in the middle of the summer.'

A staggering £685,000 worth of cars were shunted in a matter of minutes - enough to make the Top Gear boys wince in pain and criticise who caused the incident.

But with recent research suggesting women drivers are more likely to be involved in an accident, they could be forgiven for adhering to the stereotypical view.

Scientists at the University of Michihan looked at 6.5million car crashes and found a higher than expected number of accidents between two female drivers.

They also discovered that women have a tough time negotiating crossroads, T-junctions and slip roads.


Aftermath: Hundreds of tourists snapped away on their cameras and mobile phones after what could easily be the world's most expensive accident:

Thank you for also not drawing attention to the fact that I'm known to be disingenous and have a record of sexual harrassment in the workplace...

Well, I think that was understood by all and hardly worthy of additional discussion... [:'(]

Here's one for y'all to ponder. Residents of Seattle purchase more sunglasses per capita than residents of any other US city. Now why would that be? [&:]

I managed to find a copy of Where There Is Discord for a not too extortionate price. 80 Euros plus postage, more than I'd have liked but (a lot) less than I expected given that the cheapest I've found advertised is twice that price. Hopefully before August is out I'll be dodging exocets in the South Atlantic [:D]

AND I've managed to find a PBEM game as the Allies! [8D] Fridays are great!
