Sports dont come close to SEIV GOld??

Chardo Mon, are you strange? are you a man? are you a woolly-woofter?

I remember the Argentina - England match from the 1998 World Cup - I was in a really cool bar in London surrounded by young ladies.. it was hot, it was sweaty, tensions were running high and all I can say it wss a meld between a really good wet teeshirt competition and a pheromone sandwich

"3 Lions on your shirt, Jules Rime still gleaming, 30 years of hurt, never stopped me dreaming"

Enguuulllaaaaanddddd Engullllaaaaannnnndd Engulllaaaaanndd

And as for being partisan.... well, you Yanks are rather good at being partisan (anyone remember the Salt Lake winter Olympics and 3 weeks of gung ho Americanism...)

I dont eat eggs, they come out of chickens' bottoms

game is up and set for 7 players... (bash game)

go join.

currently players are slapshot, bratt, grythin, mac, saxon, tesco, tiggia.

Am I missing anyone. ????

let me know. We will start the game when tiggia gets back from World cup

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Is there room for an 8th player?

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

Walmart, unfortunately I am not going home before I fly out to the Land of the Dried Squid so I cannot send my game to you

Please start without me if necessary as I might just decide to abandon the current Mrs GT and stay out in Japan with a geisha

"Brewing" is the key word here. Any micro brewery will naturally tend to produce better ale than the mass produced stuff you get (I mean budweiser and coors and miller is absolute cack) as will the love and care you put into your own idea.

Let me introduce you to one of my brother's business interests. He has a timeshare style brewery - you join up, pay a fee a that entiels you to brewing time in the professionally run professional brewery - If I recall an initial fee of £50 plus £5 a month entitles you to enough time to brew about 25 gallons - sounds expensive BUT it is done professionally, to your own requirements and/or recipy, by professionsla using professional ingredients - you can even have your own labels printed and bottles made and I think it works out at about 60p per imperial pint.

The majority of the beer is better than 'saleable' standard, some of it is truly superb

I am a member (hell this is family) and I get the beer delivered to me up here 300 miles from the brewery. Costs peanuts but I currently have about 60 litre bottles of 'GT's old breastrub', a nice session ale using kentish golden hops and with a touch of coriander

He has a 2 year waiting list. Great idea

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

Tell your brother he is most fortunate to have brewskis available at his leisure. AAhhh just the thought of making ones own brewski. I can see it now, Mac's Wonder Brewski, The Brewski of all Brewski's, Good for what ale's you, picks you up and then sloshes you down. AND no Hangovers....
I'd be a millionaire within a week.... aaaahhhh retirement in style.. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

PS. everyone, Tigga will be gone again, The Tabs on him.. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif The Cantina does sell & have most glorious food as well as liquid nourishment. I'll have some scrambled eggs with cheese, bacon, hash browns and rye toast, oh and the Tigga approved of his tab being used while he's away, he said eat drink and be merry as he will be gone for about a week and didn't want us to feel blue http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Brewskis tonight in the Cantina around 10pm...the bartender extended Tiggas credit for his tab for the next week...... tks Tigs.. we knew you were a jolly old soul... better make it between 10 and 10;30, wife just emailed me and said we're going shopping tonight,,,,, http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif after that I'll be looking foreward to having 1 or 2, I hate shopping, that is unless its for something I might enjoy, like computer games......

and Tigga seeks to remind the lot of you that he is tighter than a duck's chuff hole and you have as much chance of getting a brew (and especially a meal) out of the Tigga as you do of getting your bits'n'bobs with britney!

Mac, you have some real dietary problems - I think you should try a nice Morroccan dish, something like oyster charenntaise, a lamb tagine with jewelled cous cous (heavy on the apricots), a vegetable chermoula with a lime tzatziki and maybe some brondade - followed by calvados as a digestiv...no that is pub food

PS I should introduce you to my brother Steve - he doesnt do computer games other than Cutthroats and Rogue Squadron - but he proves I am the runt of the family, he is 6 foot 6 tall, absolutely no fat and weighs about 320 pounds. He represented our county in running, swimming and judo. He also has a beard and puts platts in it - I still havnt found anyone except my mum who is willing to tell him he looks a pratt with them

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

GT, your cuisine sounds interesting, however, I do not think my interior designs would take gently to apricots, oysters, and the rest this early in the morning, (here it is only 9am) so even tho I'm willing to try various dishes from around the world, I must stick with scrambled eggs with cheese, bacon, hash browns and rye toast, oh and a good cup of coffee, siigghhhh, ever get that sleepy feeling after stuffing yourself with palible delights,, yawn

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

Sports vs Space Empires?
I know I’m strange. I happily played Space Empires through the Super Bowl and the Boston Marathon. The marathon passes my apartment close enough to hear the crowd cheering. I knew when the first wheel chair, male runner, and female runner went by. The Supper bowl I followed by the sound and vibrations in the apartment building I live in.
Of Brews and Brewing, those were the days. I fully concur with the consensus of American brews. I like Guinness the most but there are a couple of Ales from England I enjoy depending on the weather. Along with playing Space Empires toooooo much and other by products of my Attention Deficit Disorder I can not drink more than the occasional glass of wine. Now a days I concentrate on using the Gryphin Position while Circling the Wagons with my sweethearte and our friends.

&lt; Political Rant &gt;
If you knew how much the Coors people trashed the environment in their area you would not drink the stuff.
&lt;/ Political Rant &gt;

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

Mac and company,
I'm replying to your post in the "How Old Are You"
Thread
While no one here will flame anyone. There are certain people who will get ignored. I guess you might say I am &lt;b&gt;very&lt;/b&gt; “Politically Correct” in some areas. There is one handle here I will not reply to because it offends me and others. Others would say I am too serious. Both are true.
Peace bro

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

Gryph - I agree with you, I am a bit of a treehugger myself. As for the Coors, it is sad about the environmental aspect of it but I personally dont drink the beer cos it tastes like piss.

I try to be open-minded about political correctness but I due think some people's handles and signatures are inappropriate.

Mephisto pointed this out to one young chap on the 'How old are you' thread. I think he did the right thing.

Gryphin, how could you not respond to Mac5732.. there is nothing wrong with him that euthanasia wouldn't cure

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

Coors? I agree about the flavor.

“one young chap” Yep, that is what set me off. I was trying to be subtle.

Youth in Asia? What has mac to do with them?
Anybody that will put my drinks on your tab is a good man.

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

Well, you can try and put drinks on my tab but I think you will find that I will deny all knowledge of it and will take the '5th' I believe you north americans call it.

Actually, the lot of you are such a bunch of drinking wusses that a week of the tab would probably not get over $20.. you cannot beat a european for drinking ability, style, panache, elegance, sexual prowess and a dislike for north american beer-wendys

Actually, hearing about what goes on with youngsters in some of the more sordid parts of the Far East, may be 'Youth in Asia' is more appropriate for Mac than 'Euthanasia'

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

Gryphin, I agree with yours, Mephistos and the Tiggas erstwhile reflections on certain indiscreations, I was trying to be general in nature without addressing something specific that could extend into something that would be controversial in nature and yet get my point across at the same time.

GT, Sorry, your tabs still active and building up fast, hope you have a good strong bank account.. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

just some ideas mac

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

Well, I did have a good strong bank account and stock options until I paid for this trip to Lang Shang Po (anyone remember that?)

I get to go the World Cup, I also get to part-finance Mrs GT going on an Italian shopping trip with her mates.......

hmmmmmmm.....

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

Mac,
I followed your drift. I wanted to comment on it without “clogging up another thread” with off topic stuff.
That we all agree about such values is another reason I want to have a real time drink over a real table some day. You guys should know that my sweetheart wants to meet you as well. Um, that is on a platonic level.

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Well, a real time drink between cyber-pals could be a bad idea, we will discover that Gryphin is in fact a spotty 15 year old Ivy League reprobate with an active imagination and an imaginary sex-life, we will discover that Mac is actually Bill Cosby in disguise and that I am a women (albeit a very stylish, elegant and sophisticated one)

... and as for meeting your sweetheart.... Gryph, I am not sure MAc and I are strong enough

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

Gryphy,, both you and Gt know what I do for a living, so you should know how I feel about the Youth, let alone me being a veteran. I always try to be nice, especially when it comes to young ones as they sometimes act before they think, and try to get a point across without starting controversy..

GT, between your tab and Mrs GT out shopping, I think you better take out a loan or two, I would presume you had to agree to her shopping in order to attend your game week. By the way, did you get those kitty articles I sent you yesterday???

Now whats this about youth in Asia?????

just some ideas a still munching & stuffing mac

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

"Stuffing Mac"??!!

Now there is an idea

GT and Mac the same,,, NO WAY, He's a youngster, even if he supposedly does look like Shrek, GT buries wives under garages, bribes his wife so he can go galevanting around England watching some ball getting kicked around an open field while mobs of sloshed on lookers stampede over each other, drive on the wrong side of the road, and has to take a loan out to pay off his bar tab.

Mac, you are going (even more) senile.. I am watching England play in the World Cup in Tokyo..

I knowq the world cup is something that Americans cant quite get to grips with but it is slightly more important than your World Series...

I dont borrow - I can quite afford you pansies' measly bar tab

Yeah, I am sure we will meet at one day.. probably when Gryphin is sitting in court pointing at me saying 'yes officer, that looks like the man who bashed me on the head with the half brick in a sock"

Mac, glad you enjoyed breakfast, yuou do realise that bacon you slurped up has actually been sitting in my trainers for the Last week... you know, the one's I have stopped wearing cos they bring on veruccas and strange fungal infections

Gryph - me and Mac the same? get real.. he is old and american, I am young cool beautiful and British

grythin i hope i did not offend you.

frynn and mon... it is ok by me for u to join the bash game.

the small universe game def'nly join it.

if it is ok with the cantina... i will increase the number of players to 9...

tiggia we will wait for you to get back before we start.

the game is called the galactic bash(eating pita and typing with one finger)
the other game is called small universe.

please do join the game..so we can set the order...

and answer the questins from above.

later

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

tiggia why do you call me walmart now ??

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

Easy peazy lemon squeezy

In the UK, Tesco are our largest supermarket chain
IN the US, Walmart is the largest supermarket chain

Samoa is a Micronesian Island chain. Fiji is also an Micronesia island chain.

Therefore 'Tesco Samoa' becomes 'Walmart Fiji'

What is tiggia? is that a personal disease or summat?

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

Tesco
You did not offend me. Why do you ask?

Advice: do not compete with GrowlTigga on his home turf or when he is filled with jingoistic pride.

Have a good day.

What a shocker this morning.

Wow.

To our friends who do not follow the game.

It would be like Cubian basketball team beating the American basketball team. THis is also due the the history between the two countries.

But wow did france look flat

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">That does sound good, really good. If only Americans could make a bar like the English can, then sports here might be better than SEIV. Alas but no, so much for the new world....

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

Well, I think you are actually being unfair to your countrymen there Chardo Mon. Whilst I generally feel that being American is horribly flawed (cue revenge spams) and that the majority of US bars are nasty, I have found some cracking micro-brewery bars in the States.

Good food, great beer (for the US) and barn-like interiors makes for a happy night for me.

English bars tend to be a mix from hyper trendy to Old Bull n Bush types. Each has its place but each is excellent when England are playing Johnny Foreigner

Now the Europeans can do some well good bars - I have had some of the happiest nights of my life in sweaty continental bars jumping around with sweaty continental lasses

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Splendid statement GT, and true. Micro-brews are the saving grace of American beers. Personally, I like to brew my own as it is much better than anything that can be legaly bought outside of a decient pub. Extra Strong Irish Special Stout and Dragons Blood are my two Favorites. This morning though, black coffee is just fine. The three brews above are always available on my better class capitol ship, 'specialy the scouts http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif .

Much better than the North American style british pub. ( tiggia I am serious here)

But you should defend all the brew pubs. I love brew pubs.
