Ah - did you not see the earlier reply; Here it is:
Remember "When I'm 64"? Paul McCartney turned 64 recently. Enjoy this list
(painfully).
HITS OF THE 60's REVISITED
It was fun being a baby boomer - until now. Some of the artists of the 60's
are revising their hits with new lyrics to accommodate baby boomers (again).

They include:
Herman's Hermits -- Mrs. Brown, You've Got a Lovely Walker.
The Bee Gees -- How Can You Mend a Broken Hip.
Bobby Darin -- Splish, Splash, I Was Havin' a Flash.
Ringo Starr -- I Get By With a Little Help From Depends.
Roberta Flack --The First Time Ever I Forgot Your Face.
Johnny Nash -- I Can't See Clearly Now.
Paul Simon -- Fifty Ways to Lose Your Liver
The Commodores -- Once, Twice, Three Times to the Bathroom.
Marvin Gaye -- Heard It Through the Grape Nuts.
Leo Sayer -- You Make Me Feel Like Napping..
The Temptations -- Papa's Got a Kidney Stone.
Abba -- Denture Queen.
Tony Orlando -- Knock 3 Times On The Ceiling If You Hear Me Fall.
Helen Reddy -- I Am Woman, Hear Me Snore.
Willie Nelson -- On the Commode Again

Yes. I did. I quite enjoyed it.

I was thinking 100 bottles of metamuscil on the wall, 100 bottles of metamuscil...

Really this group of musicians is very talented.

Due to the critical need of ships the RN has decided to recommission older ships found in out of the way places in the British Isles. The following 2 vessels were spotted on their way to Columbo

These were finished a couple of months ago. I haven't painted in 7 weeks since I started with WiTP.

As to restarting the game I just saw this from Kid in another thread -

Quote from Kid

Make sure you pay attention to the warnings in the Tutorial, I put them in there because they are some of the most common mistakes new players make that can lead to disaster. Welcome to the game and I hope you enjoy it for as many years as I have. I also agree that you should jump into the campaign game as allies and stick it through. It will be the only time that you will truly be challenged by the AI. Not to say the AI is not good, but like any game once you play the game you can figure out how to beat it. Also remember the campaign game is LOOOOONG and any disaster can be righted given enough time if you are the allies. Good luck.

So I have decided to stick it out a while. Plus I really don't want that 4 hours of orders to issue after the first turn

Well I am up to Jan 19. I went back a couple of days when the AVG got overrun (that won't happen again

). I have most of the turn input. I will execute it tomorrow and see what else sinks or gets overrun

That's what happens when you start a war and find out you have no materials to fight that war with.

After considerable effort using giant sheets of paper, fabertong's forces attempted to "fold" themselves a battleship using their entire bodies to crease the sheaves.

The giant Yamorigamota was finally completed, but then a dockyard careless tossed a cigarette butt, and ...
