Let's hope it's a good one, without any tears. Merry Christmas everyone! :drinks_drunk: :spartak:

Merry Christmas to you too you old bugger! Santa really should relocate to the antipodes seeing as he has to start with you guys a whole 12 hours before us. I haven't even finished the Christmas shopping yet, need to get a couple copies of Hot Fuzz, and no it isn't a porno! About this time tomorrow, I will be two drinks from paralytic, stuffed fuller than the turkey and zonked out well before the Queen starts yaking on. Wake up after she finishes and go walk it all off round the village. Rinse and repeat for Boxing day minus the presents. What about you? Is it really true that Aussies have a BBQ for Christmas? I know Polish will eat carp tomorrow, Lithuanians will eat a very moreish cake made with poppy juice, Greeks wont open their presents till the 1st of Jan. Amazing the variety of Christmas traditions around the world but I'm quite happy with our quiet family tradition of getting absolutely blamo. Happy Christmas everyone!!!!!

Happy Christmas TK style! This looks much nicer, little things like more lights in the cockpit, lettering on the armaments, the water looks better than on my latest patched mega install. The RWR now displays a vector line to the threat making sead easier. It even plays reasonably well on my ancient and broken laptop with all eye candy on high! Pulling up from dropping 3 500lb's onto Mr. Scud and surprised to behold from an external view, lots and lots of bright yellow secondaries.. I'm not sure if the bombs actually contain explosive now or if that was unsolicited help from wingy but either way, it augurs well. I still wish the LABS counter did something useful, or just for any kind of fire control simulation, that always has and always will be my number one immersion killer. Annoying in some ways because now I know the difference these little things make in total, I can't imagine going back to SF with latest patch and so will probably buy all of the titles again. TK will most likely continue patch support or three and somewhere down the road, again we will all likely feel we have been given a lot more for free than we spent, so all in all.. Thank you TK :fans:

Do you think you should apologise for that comment? I am disgusted frankly that you can say that when they didn't even hurt it, it's called playing, I can assure you that had the pup felt threatened in any way it would have bounded away the first time.

Thank you for keeping us all up to date with this Ghostrider. It seems a very complete confession, lets hope these people, times and places can be corroborated and prove useful for future counter terrorism planning. Knowing your enemy better than they know themselves is key to winning, we need to know where these terrorists train, how and who trains them. I didn't expect such swift results considering the length of time suspects like Al Libi spun webs of lies to interrogators, hopefully this youth has cracked and perhaps even regrets his decisions, if so this may well be a crucial piece of evidence in the war against terror.

Four times, all wrongful IMNHO. The person below me has never been to Wales but they want to.

There are places I remember all my life, Though some have changed Some forever, not for better Some have gone and some remain. All these places have their moments Of lovers and friends I still can recall Some are dead and some are living In my life I loved them all. One of my favourites and funny thing is I was thinking this song round in my head all day at work today! I would be hard pushed to choose a Beatles song I don't like, but as Storm pointed out, the radio can kill great bands and great songs from over play.. I love Floyd but detest the Wall album at times specifically because everyone only ever knows two songs from that album from their entire work.

I think I fouled myself! I am laughing so hard, I love it! Will it be for download? I wonder if Kinnok had won '92, would the RAF look like that? edit: reposting images, should know better

your signature picture speaks for itself

Right on! Every word. Our PM just went over and though he had the balls to say to them that over 75% of all terror threats to the UK have so far been traced back to links in Pakistan.. What do you think he chose to do about it? Give them millions of pounds that we can't afford so they can please spend it wisely to counter terrorism! They wont even let our intel guys see the suspected leaders. That is at least one thing I admire about the Bush years, to pursue terrorists back to their homes and where necessary bring them into custody. Terror needs to be stamped out and if that means not being entirely PC (sovereignty and so on) so be it.

Very interesting! I will give it a try, it's about time I learnt Greek properly seeing as I am planning to live there.

Aye, your Typhoon rocks! Have a great birthday and many happy returns of the day!

Thanks for the link, I missed the beginning last night. Particularly poignant that the RAF had no exercises for what to do after dropping the nukes. I heard an ex Vulcan pilot on radio 4 describe his thoughts on the matter, to carry on flying east below the radar until the last drop of fuel then bail out and start a new life with a Siberian wife.

Thank you all for your kind words. Scouserlad, that clip is hilarious! I almost died of laughter!! I hope my students don't see me that way, I tend to let inuendo creep into my lessons all too often!! One involving Bulgarian sausage in particular. Can you imagine what would happen if someone tried that with a corner shop guy in Fazakerley!!

Cool, I can try, it would be better in a class though, I would suggest many places but they are all in Greece E ensine-me a língua de mulheres Brasileiras!

Thank you!

Rushing to downloads section right now!!!!!!!!!!!! Early Christmas present or what! Wahoo!

I sign in here almost every day and consider this forum as the nearest to a virtual chilling out spot, a place to come and see what's cooking and have a laugh, so hope I don't come across arrogant now but just wanted to share with you some good news that happened today. I received in (red) black and white, official confirmation that I have qualified to teach English, specifically to speakers of other languages. I also received a very nice reference letter from the course leader to use now I will be searching for a better job, one line made me laugh though.. "complete absence of complacency" I think they are referring to my attitude of continuous improvement e.g. If I have one drink, I can always have one more!

Wow! These guys need some tips on how to kiss, I don't think the point is to show your girl how hard you can suck!link

How lucky was that though, no one killed. Accidents will happen no matter how well trained and maintained the force is. It might not be all bad though, if the bug goes the same way as the eagle, there will be a lot more orders for F 22s presumably in the near future.

Just saw this on the headlines. About time. I hope they never get the satisfaction of martyrdom, life in jail will hurt them more and serve as a stark reminder to their followers what happens when you try to take on the West. Link reason for edit: fixed link

Check your pm in a couple minutes, don't want to hijack this thread further

sometimes I wish we had concealed carry for certain types of jobs here too! I have been a security guard for the past 4 years and the job I have tomorrow is fairly daunting. Philosophically I'd rather that all guns were at home, at the range or other suitable place and not on the street but in practice of course, life as we know it runs not to the writ of philosophical thinking. Not long to go for me now thoug, I'm finally getting out of this insane job!! We can't even have cs spray or batons, not even mag lite in the day time!! Even worse, we are discouraged from wearing protective vests as they appear "threatening" to the public. I must say though, in all my time, it isn't guns that are the main weapon here in the UK, it is fists and knives on the street and bottles in the pubs and clubs. Luckily for me, I have survived encounters with each of the above on more than one occasion.

Kewll video laa! Would be ace to use them for a mod of this mission, one my favourite Para/combined forces missions (that I heard about anyway!) "Operation Barras - Sierra Leone"

I want them all! I don't know what the rules and regs are in Greece but I hope one day in the future I could apply for a license to build my very own high powered rifle.
