We who know how to spell proper have always had Capital cities. as the Aussies used to - and at this time probably still were semi part of our Empire they had a Capital city.


Grrr colonials! I imagine you lot will start spelling things with z instead of s like we do!

AFAIK, all orcs* are base... didn't know they were aircraft mechanics as well.

We're not doing a remake of "Priscilla, Queen of the Desert". Are we?



Lord Admiral Sprior: I believe the references to "CD" that you quoted alluded to "Coastal Defense", not "Cross Dresser" units.

ETA: However, if you can find a subject that can shoot ping pong balls out of unexpected orifices, perhaps you'll find a terrific distraction for JJ and friends.

I can see it now: A skirmish line of ping-pong ball firing bar ho's assaulting the Japanese lines en masse, whilest a brigade or two or your lads slipped around the flank and gives the WJDs the what for.

ETA II: I'd better go and take my medication for the day.




If nothing else, it would certainly qualify as a "demonstration".

Bah! Aircraft mechanic indeed. I, sirrah, am an aircraft technician as evidenced by my rank, qualifications and cynicism. If you had passed your exams and done well at school you could have been part of this elite group.

Jealousy is a terrible thing, but it's OK. I forgive you, I know you can't help yourself. I would give you a hug but you would probably get the wrong idea given your background.

This is akin to dropping the first nucelar weapon in a conflict and will almost certainly require some type of caustic response. Please stay tuned.

Oh Calcutta!

I'm not sure where it is but I don't think it is anywhere in the Pacific Ocean Areas, Canada West of Great Slave Lake, Easter Is., Panama or La Tortuga.

One can only draw one inference from this attack. Johnny Jap has gained intel on Operation Weasel and ist rying to kill the Hurris before theymove to Oz.

By ra way, another 9 Bettys (Betties) were lost on the way home

Apparently your brief trip to The Cornfield did not leave a sufficient impression on you in regard to mockery of posters in the thread.

How would you feel about a Lanai Room at Club Gitmo? You would be bunking with Richard Reid.

Status: offline 		So I am driving to work...late...and my daughter calls me on the cell. Imagining that a meteor has hit the house or some such thing, I take the risk of a $300 fine and answer it.

Me: Yeah, what's up?

Daughter: Daddy, how do you do laundry?




Here is my advice. Don't let those precious laundry moments pass you by when your kids are growing up. Put down the mouse and try to get the AE turn done AFTER you go over sorting colors and the like. It all just goes by so quickly.

However preparing a meal beyond buttered toast is still something to be mastered.

Stick some baked beans on and you've got a real meal there.
