You take four months then complain that I take the weekend to set up turn 1? Go cry me a river LYB!

An excellent point!

Pffft. I tried getting it done sooner, but for some reason the RAF seem to think that I should be spending my time fixing vintage aeroplanes rather than playing computer games. They just just don't understand Anyway, you don't have much to do on turn 0 as the Allies, just issue lifejackets to all your sailors and dig out your insurance policies

Prepare the a-bomb, load the robot drones, make sure the phaser banks are calibrated. There's plenty to do!

As I said before, go cry me a river. Unlike the Crabs, the USN requires all insurance policies to be done in triplicate and looked over by a lawyer. And WE require everyone be given a life jacket AND a helmet!

We got rid of our lawyers.

I support that wholeheartedly.

OK, somebody needs to Clue me in on The Thread....

OK, I'll give it a try. As one of the newest inhabitants of the thread I see it this way.

The Thread is in the same sense that Mount Everest is and Shangri-La isn't.

Hope this helps.

OK, that answer is totally useless, yet totally brilliant!
I think I get the picture.

To put it in more succinct terms, THE THREAD!!! is the place where it's perfectly acceptable to blather away about just about anything.

There are just three (?) rules;
1/ No politics
2/ No religion
3/ Don't take yourself too seriously

Guess I forgot some unwritten rule, but I guess my fellow THREADsters will be more than happy to fill them in. That never seems to be a problem

Otherwise, I agree that fodder put it in *very* poetic terms

All of the unwritten rules are available to view on the 43rd post of The Thread (MkII)

Link?

He's right. He forgot an unwritten rule.

That is: "It's OK, every now and then, to post pictures of Swedish bikini models on THE THREAD!!!".

And the Dutch women's field hockey team. I liked them.

Weren't you just calling someone an "LYB" in the previous page? Care to explain to the THREAD noob exactly what that acronym stands for?

Thats not a personal attack. Thats a definition of terms.

Maybe we should invent a new THREAD rule, that the ones currently having summer should also post bikini pics to reminds the others what summer is like?

So I'll be posting pics all year long?

And theres that two-week space in late July when we might even see a post from Andre.

Funny too see how this "LYB"-speak has spread from the worlds worst AAR (tm) to the rest of the forum. It shows up here and there.

Fascinating. And coor in a rittre nerdy way.

By Odin, yer right!

My favorite is "pretend I didnt read the manual".

Well, Onime, I didn't think you were into that, but I'll see what bikini shots of myself I can rustle up for you come late July. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Ok, now time to pack the computer for moving.

I'll be back in a couple of days. Guess I then gotta set up and use my mobile as a router as well, as I have no cable connection until 1st jan.

Laters guys. Be well.
