tranquillo 10 Posted May 29, 2012 Yep, surgery. Not a big deal though - should only be in a couple of days. Actually I think it's time to stop fooling myself and admit that this is major surgery with a capital M. I feel confident though. Sorry for hijacking your thread UK and thanks for your best wishes.

Olham 164 Posted May 29, 2012 What is the "NHS"? What will they do there, Tranquillo? Well, you may not want to get into details, but I understand "surgery". I will concentrate my energy on you in two weeks then, old chap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rugbyfan1972 1 Posted May 29, 2012 UKW, I will be happy whenever WOFF arrives, as I know the devs will have tested the sim to death before we get a chance to buy it, and if by some chance it does need a patch shortly after it is released you can bet that it will be only for a minor fix (in the devs eyes), and something the community have not even noticed. Tranquillo, Good luck with your surgery, my thoughts will be with you - on the plus side the NHS menu is a great reason to start dieting (unless it has improved drastically from the '70s & 80's). Hopefully WOFF will come out just as you are up and about again. Olham, NHS stands for "National Health Service" and was set up in 1948 where everyone who is working pays a small percentage of their wage into a national fund and when you have to have surgery the national fund covers the cost of the surgery, it also pays some of the cost of medicines prescribed by your local doctors (you have to pay a percentage, at least in England). It basically means that in the UK we do not have to pay medical insurance like in the USA. I think that about covers the NHS, but if anyone can add anything else feel free.

Von Paulus 8 Posted May 29, 2012 I've missed your post tranquilo. Just be tranquilo (which is a Portuguese word for calm), today most surgeries are less close to hazzards. I'm sure everything will be fine. My thoughts will be with you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nbryant 8 Posted May 29, 2012 (edited) The Dev's are using time dilation as they develop P4. In the theory of relativity, time dilation is an actual difference of elapsed time between two events as measured by observers either moving relative to each other or differently situated from gravitational masses. So where our two weeks is passing at the speed of real time thier two weeks is passing at a much slower speed thereby allowing them to accomplish much more in the same timeline. What the actual differential is only the Dev's know and all we can do is assume that at some point they will make their way back onto our plane of existence where their timeline will coincide with ours and P4 will be released. No, I don't understand it either but it sure sounds good! ....hope all goes well Tranquillo. Edited May 29, 2012 by nbryant Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
