I'm very glad to hear that Dave!! @ Column5...I agree with you to an extent...but even removing the animal welfare issue...it's like not legislating against 48 homicidal maniacs on the loose!...in the UK..the keeping of Tigers, Bears etc...is totally illegal...no exceptions whatsoever...end of!...only licenced Zoos or animal parks....and if a single animal escaped...bye bye licence...for good! No-one could really 'hide' a Tiger surely?

It's an absolute disgrace, that ordinary people are allowed to keep Dangerous, Exotic, RARE species like this!...nowhere else in the civilised world would allow citizens to keep f****** Tigers!!!!!......STOP IT!...they're rare enough as it is!!!! (as someone says in the comments) "This idiot that owned these animals was in and out of jail, had previous charges for animal cruelty and was allowed to have these animals with little to no oversight. His compound had been visited numerous times by law enforcement and no one did a damned thing to shut him down. Ohio has the most lax laws on this sort of thing and what's most tragic is this could have all been avoided." I can only just imagine the utter Carnage that could have been caused, had these highly stressed, dangerous animals, had been anywhere near a school!....It's Irresponsible of the Ohio regional government in the extreme!...I would be filing a lawsuit against the f*cking lot of them! http://digg.com/news/lifestyle/ohio_police_kills_48_lions_bears_cheetahs_exotic_animals_escaped

Blimey!...I hope he took some spare underwear up with him!

To be honest, most of my older games are fine on Win7 Mark....with just a few requiring Dosbox (and the option to dualboot of course)

Beautiful Skin Olham...I LOVE the Elevator and Rudder combo design especially !

I already skinned some of these (it was early in my skinning career) so not fantastic!...available in D/L Section 2x Fokker DVII 1X Russian Camel 1X Russian RE8 http://combatace.com/files/file/8682-final-finnish-fokker/ http://combatace.com/files/file/8647-camel-of-the-russian-air-service/ http://combatace.com/files/file/8625-finnish-af-dvii/ http://combatace.com/files/file/8613-russian-air-force-re8/

Yeah, I guess thats true Lexx.... I put up a video of a Total War mod... called Zulu... And I'm forever having to remove really nasty, racist comments every day...and not just directed at the Zulu's I might add!.....it's a bloody game people!....jeez

Is it me?...or does youtube bring out the very worse in people?....can't believe some of the comments on there!...it's scary how much hate people have locked up inside them....maybe, youtube is providing a service...allowing people to get the puss out of their souls?

Shiloh man...you'll be wearing that flying OFF....mark my words!

My Favourite game of that era...the maddeningly addictive 'Lemmings'

Well...I'm afraid you will all be disgusted with me....self confessed Animal lover that I am....but I lived in a four storey apartment as a kid..and I had a GI Joe (or action man as he's called here)...and it included a Space Capsule for him to sit in. It was the late 60's, and the NASA moon landings were big news....So me and my brother filled a Trash can full of water...with the intention of doing a simulated splashdown, by dropping the capsule out the window...and into the Trashcan full of water. Two test runs later, and all was going well... So we decided to try it with a Live Astronaut. Unfortunately, the only live specimen we had, was my Sister's pet Gerbil...Stanley. So, in true pioneer spirit...Stanley became the new British Space program volunteer. (well, perhaps Volunteer is the wrong phrase, under the circumstances) He was strapped in (ok, forced in through the hatch) and prepared to make History...he was duly dropped four storeys....onto the Sidewalk!....missing the trashcan by mere feet. We rushed downstairs...to find a very traumatised, but unhurt Gerbil still in the wreckage!...to this day, I don't know how the poor little thing survived!...but he did. And was duly returned to his cage...if not a National hero...certainly a hero to my Brother an I. I'm sorry little Stanley, for what we put you through...but it upset me to think what might have happened to him....and in some strange way..I think I learnt respect for Animals because of that Childish episode! (ps...My sister never knew about this...and if she reads it...I'm a dead man walking!...she loves animals even more than me!)

Absolutely!..Poor Laika comes to mind

What a Guy!

A Chimpanzee called 'Ham'...who at 5,857MPH...has to be the fastest Chimp on record! Ham was named in honor of Holloman Aerospace Medical Center, New Mexico, where the chimpanzees lived and also in honor of Holloman commander Lt. Col. Hamilton Blackshear. In training for his suborbital flight to space, the four-year-old chimpanzee practiced with three other chimps pulling levers to receive rewards for correct choices. Eventually, Ham was blasted off inside Mercury capsule number 5 atop a Redstone rocket from Cape Canaveral, Florida, on January 31, 1961. His mission was to prove that live animals aboard a spacecraft could carry out their jobs during launch, weightlessness and reentry. Unfortunately, Ham's rocket overshot and boosted the chimp in his capsule to a speed of 5,857 mph. That was 1,457 mph faster than planned, which resulted in Ham experiencing 1.7 more minutes of weightlessness than projected. He was weightless for a total of 6.6 minutes. The excess power also shot the capsule 122 miles off course. Even so, Ham was able to perform his tasks almost perfectly. The Mercury capsule landed far outside the Atlantic Ocean target zone at 12:12 p.m., 60 miles from the nearest recovery ship, the destroyer Ellison. Lying on its side in the water, the capsule was battered by waves. Tears in the landing bag capsized the craft. An open cabin pressure relief valve let sea water in. It was beginning to submerge when Navy rescue helicopter pilots found it. At 2:52 p.m. a helicopter managed to snag the craft and lift it and 800 pounds of sea water out of the ocean. After dangling all the way to a ship, the capsule was lowered to the deck. Nine minutes later Ham came out in good condition. He happily accepted an apple and half an orange. Ham survived in good condition to retire to the National Zoological Park at Washington, D.C., on April 2, 1963. The success of his Mercury capsule flight led directly to the launch of Alan Shepard on America's first human suborbital flight on May 5, 1961.

I just LOVE the Direct.gov e-petition site...some of the petitions are hilarious! For the benefit of Non-Brits...our Government have set up an e-petition website, where members of the public can put up a petition. If it gets over 100,000 votes...it will be discussed in Parliament, and may change/add Laws. Great idea in principle...and often highly amusing!!!...as it allows every loony in the UK to put forward their particular brand of potty ideas ..here's a few of my favourites... Protect airline passengers against hijack by nerve gassing entire cabin PREVENT PAEDOPHILES FROM Driving Copper Thefts - should be classed as an act of terrorism Bring in Lashing as a punishment (5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 -100 lashes) per crime Remove the Prime Minister Immediately & Restore Democracy To force Kim Gandy AKA Boadicea Iceni to stop showing her breasts in her FB profile Bring back some form of legalised Cocaine Aren't the British Wonderful????...hahahahaha
