The one about insects? Yeah, I'm stuck there as well...
-
Nothing by the Clash or the Jam in there
... You might like to throw in an uplifting Stone Roses tune, but then its all about personal taste."Rock the Casbar" or "Down in the Tube station at Midnight" would sound good while getting a 99.

How far did you get, or didn't get? If you're stuck on the first page type "a word"
Damn I'm clever. Now whats next... -
Its back online. Hurrah. "No American Infidels in Baghdad. NEVER!"
-
Thank you so much for that. It has been annoying me since I installed my 5.1 about a month ago. I was just about to post something on the same lines myself.

The following was live on Sky News the other day according to a national news paper today. One of their reporters was wandering around the newly liberated Baghdad. He headed across one of the squares and turning to his camera said "look a banner lets go see what it says". Off they trot and as they got close you could see the banner saying "£$"% off American w!"£$%s". The reporter turns and says "Thats the beauty of democracy. You can say what you like!"

I don't watch many films, last time I went to the cinema was about 2 years ago. Never seen a star wars film all the way through, or harry potter and whats all this lark about lord of the rings?
Anyway, in no particular order:
Escape to Victory
Great Escape (Great theme tune)
Sparticus (Its got a war in it, goes on a bit.)
Saving Private Ryan
Where Eagles Dare (? I think thats the one with an assination attempt on Churchill, I know it had eagles in the title)
They might not be the best war films, only the ones I remember watching.

Site broke at the moment, but I did get sent this:
>The below is a transcript of a public interview with,Mohammed Saeed Sahhaf, Iraqi's Information Minister.
"...on every front, where brave Iraqi soldiers continue to vanquish the American invaders and their British lackeys. We are bringing every day their utter humiliation and destruction, as promised time after time in the solemn vows of his excellency Saddam Hussein. So now I will be pleased to reply to your questions. Yes? From the BBC?"
"Thank you, Mr. Minister. I wonder if you could tell us, sir, how your statement this morning squares with the reports we've been receiving from our own correspondents, let alone from our respective governments. Our information is that coalition forces are now in control of quite significant portions of Iraq, that they continue to extend their control even to the presidential palaces in this city, and that your forces both north and south are taking extremely heavy casualties."
"This is not true, what you are saying. The victorious Iraqi armies have driven the invading forces into the dirt, and soaked them in their own evil blood. The time is fast approaching when the Americans and their puppets will be obliged to surrender and cry for mercy."
"With due respect, sir, our information is directly to the contrary. In fact, by all accounts, we seem to be witnessing a complete rout of Iraqi forces, and -- "
"This is absolutely false."
"How so?"
"You say 'by all accounts.' Have you heard this in my account?"
"But -- "
"So already your information is erroneous, and right before your eyes. Next question. Yes?"
"Thanks, Mr. Minister. About the airport -- is it still your position that the airport remains in Iraqi hands?"
"Completely in Iraqi hands, yes. All the invading forces were quickly and devastatingly repelled at the gates of Saddam International Airport, where -- "
"Excuse the interruption, chief, but there isn't any Saddam International Airport anymore. They renamed the place Baghdad International when they took it over."
"Then this confirms what I am telling you: There are no invaders at Saddam International Airport."
"Because the name changed?!"
"Because of many reasons. Because the Iraqi armies are steadfast and unflinching. Because of the deadly power of Iraqi weapons. Because the invaders were no match for our courage. Because, yes, how can one seize control of something that no longer exists?"
"So you're saying the Americans aren't in control of Saddam International, but they are in control of Baghdad International?"
"There are no American soldiers anywhere in Iraq."
"But you just -- and all the footage of American soldiers on the runways?"
"If there are Americans on the runways, it is to flee while they still can. One more? Yes?
"Realistically, Mr. Minister, how much longer can your government continue to operate? I'm thinking of all the key government buildings that now lie in ruins, as well as -- "
"There are no buildings in ruins -- there are only buildings undergoing remodeling. This is in accordance with his excellency Saddam Hussein's longstanding plan for renewal of cities."
"Renewal going well, is it?"
"Beyond even our wildest dreams."
Makes Clare Short seem trustworthy. Still trying to order my t-shirt from football365.com but there shop has crashed due to demand.

Moving out?

...just a bit o' banter as wee gay glaswegians might say.
So only small homosexuals Scotsman can say that?

Head over to http://www.football365.com. They also have a Ragi Omar t-shirt! (BBC newscaster, sent to Baghdad. Heres a job for you Ragi, the Americans are going to unleash the biggest arial bombardment since Dresden, and guess what mate, we're going to let you be underneath!)

Now I'm lmfao. You chaps are too much.

Yup, spawn killing is a pain the neck. Servers that don't run a policy on it, or the admin is absent it can get difficult. On some maps the spawns are so close you don't have a lot of choice (Docks). However, I've found that games with out spawns are often more fun anyway.

Bloody guerillas, but it does pose a question who the hell would sell a gun to a large monkey?
-
Perhaps this could be part of the reason for friendly fire during the war? British challenger would look different to an Iraqi tank (whatever they use?)
I know the difference between an M-16 an a SA80 and I've only seen about 2 pictures of each.
Woooh mark, thats pretty high.
-
The guerillas do not need anywhere much to hide, and those really dedicated will do whatever is needed. Look at Ireland, where there is little sympathy for the IRA or the Real IRA but they continued for nearly 100 years to disrupt daily life for many Brits. Okay, it wasn't on huge scale, but something to be careful of.

Anyone wanna argue with Rocky? Thought not....
In WW2 the Gurkhas identified enemys by their bootlaces. Not by sight, but by crawling up behind a sentry and feeling them. If they weren't tied in correct Brit military fashion they were killed. Now that takes some skill. Not particularly on topic, but thought it might be quite interesting. But then again I've spent the day writing a web site users guide (13 pages, 3 and a half thousand words 5 diagrams and still going, so Kilroy looks like a viable alternative at the moment.)

I wish my dads digger did that. Oh hang on, its not coming from the digger.

All the police have left, or are looting. The troops in Basra were looking for a way to control this, and action on this matter was to be taken today. What the hell do you do in that situation. They aren't there to police them.

Blackadder was great. It follows Edmund Blackadder through history, from Queen Elizabeth to the Great War (which has one of the best last episodes I've ever seen). Don't forget Bladrick the long suffering servant. No-one can make turnips more funny than Tony Robinson (who incidently now presents a History show called time team. Isn't strange how some comedians just jump off the bandwagon. Look at Bill Odie, now a birdwatcher. Or Michael Palin (Monty Python fame) walking in sand. Robert Llweylln of Red Dwarf fame, now jumping around on Scrapheap Challenge.
It was the Thin Blue Line. It was alright. Something that you can forget that he was in was Mr Bean, which although had the occasional good moment, was usually very cringe worthy. He was also in Not The Nine O'clock news.

I haven't got a photo to post you of mine. She's only in my head. And just like real girlfriends I can't get her to ######.
