Well if he turned "17," that is 68 years, so 1936 is more likely. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif Ah, the crap "news" they publish in local newspapers. Not that it is much worse in other newspapers, but still. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Exactly. Last year they had nothing better to put on the front of our paper then the opening of a tattoo parlor. So they posted pictures of people getting piercings and tattoos. Needless to say some people were offended by this and the paper ended up publishing an apology. Rather amusing to see it happen.

Re: OT: How old are you ?
 

Last year my mother turned 3 years old. (She was born on easter sunday April 20, 1924) Her birthday has only fallen on easter sunday twice since that date. So I would say that this is a much rarer occurance than leap year. I think the next time easter sunday falls on april 20th is in 2011.

Anyway, don't mind me, I'm just babbling.

Cheers! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">1936, 1940, and 1944 were leap years. As was this year for people who think today is really tomorrow. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Ah, yes. Tactics II. Remember playing that back in the very early '60s.

I'm a nuke - one of those amorphous pegs whom Admiral Rickover pounded into the shape he desired to fit into his nuke navy program. Once I emerged from that service obligation (Hey! It kept me out of rice paddies!), I stayed with it as the industry allowed for a good and secure living for my young and growing family.

As can be seen from my registered date, been here for a while. Wish there'd be a SEIV Platinum or something, as I am not all that comfortable with patches and mods. I'd just like to have it all on the CD. It's one of the reasons I've not bought Gold yet, and have not gone PBW, KOTH, etc.

jim - like the mac####, on the other side of 50

If I remember right I've written to this tread for a long time ago but it's a good time to post it again, especially since I'm now older.

So I'm 19-year-old high school student though my school is almost over, only finals left. I live in Nokia, Finland (you know, that small cold country in pretty north http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif ). Besides playing SE4 I like to read fantasy books.

You don't like patches ? you shouldn't use MS windows, then http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif !

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">please, if you dont like patches, you shouldn't use computers. unix needs patches. routers need patches. satelite tv players need patches, they just update themselves without your intervention. My Levi's need patches, but I grew up in the 80s, so i think the rips are cool http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

On another note, im not sure if im comforted or worried that Nuclear Engineers dont like patches http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif I guess its good that everything should be done properly in well contained and organized builds. And while quick improvisition is higly important in other engineering fields, I can see how it would be less than desireable with nukes.

Re: OT: How old are you ?
 

Did you know my firsat ever post to this forum was on this thread? Ahh... nostalgia... it ain't what it used to be etc etc etc.

I must be 27 or 28 by now. I can remember my borthday and everything, but my brain rarely functions in a straiht line long enough for me to work out exactly how old I am. born sep 76 if anyone feels like doing the 5 second calculation that I just can't be arsed to do for myself.

Welcome to anyone new to this thread and forum, cheers and a pint on me for everyone else.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Glad to see another nuc around! Latch 'em and snatch 'em. Were you on a submarine or a target http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif ? I guess if you are talking about staying out of the paddies, it must have been one of the older subs.

Slick.
