Guff, damn, these Germans are too fast

Does your ego know no bounds? You should be more modest - I have seen howe you have changed the name of your homepage to 'Gryphin's Portal to Unbridled Delights'!

We are not changing the name of this thread to that I can tell you - how about 'Grumpy Gryphin's Garrulous Goosing Gaseous Gropefest'

Moose Kissing is relevant as there are plenty of Canadians on this site

Plasma Torpedoes - I have seen Anti-Matter Torps and Quantum Torps - never seen Plasma Torps - is this a reference to the hot air issuing from your backend?

Yep, the human zeppelin is still working here

My vote is to keep it the G&G name, it befits the G&G Posse....

I have found that a stiff upper lip isn't always what is called for but I see that you found your weapon and attacked with the mighty pen ... hope they are appropriately apologetic for being such louts as to have you show your "oh so happy to be here" face..for the $50k they so generously pay you for being an indentured servant.

I do tend to be a bit anti-establishment as of late... I apprecate a battle of wits but not with unarmed men.. which always leads me to speak with the janitor rather than the vice presidents.

Best of luck

Yes, well um.... the resignation letter worked a little bit too well I think.....

Time to have a career change and go a make a living renting windsurfers off a Greek beach, said beach being infested by augmented female architecture

Au revoir mes enfants

mac make a directory in the seiv root directory and call it mod.

then place all the different mods in that directory..

Then in the root directory edit the path.txt file to point to the mod directories..

ie mod/tdm-modpack or what other directories there are...

and just edit this file to try different mods...

what was shipped 1.50 or 1.60 ???

Sorry GF, just picked this up - ahem... are you suggesting that ALL men are unarmed in the wits department or just the ones you have been scrapping with??

Apologies, the lawyer in me cannot resist the sophist guile, the wit, the craft, the carefully timed final demand

Oops, lawyer? read professional dilettante instead

Dear Tiggles (reverting to previous non-acceptable nominclature)
I am suggesting... or stating if you would prefer that most men taken in the general sense of HUMAN KIND (of which I am assuming you are a member of, tigga or not ) which are in positions of power (supposed or real) are mostly blowing hot air to keep their egos, positions, or self-acceptance up to the over-inflated norm that is basic SOP.

Remind me, my dear solicitor,

, to never offer any back up to you, as its true... tiggas eat their own.

In self preservation..

My condolences to you, Growltigga. And on a side note, you are not really fired, are you?!?

Mac, you are too old to vote - calling this the G&G thread is a little too egocentric for my liking - something like 'La Cantina' idea from one of the other Shrapnel forums would be as jolly idea - given my heritage, can't we call it "The Olde Frog and Frigate" - any G&G action (what a horrible concept and can I make it clear I am talking about our upcoming game where apparently "Gryphin is going to blow me to smithereens with his plasma torpedoes") can be dealt with under a thread simple specified as the "International Challenge"

On a separate matter, some of you may be delighted to here that I have been granted a week off paid, a substantial rise in salary and terms and I am replacing my former line manager in that role. She has been moved to human resources. Huzzah

Now, the new problem is thar my wife is on a pensions conference in Edinburgh next week so I have been given permission by her-who-must-be-obeyed-at-all-costs to enjoy myself - gosh

Cheers Gryph, one thing lawyers are good at generally (other than good at being the scum of the galaxy and a bane on humankind) is negotiation - actually, to be fair to my ultimate boss, he is a pretty cool dude and understands the fact that in the larger firms like mine, you have a differential between the fee-earners (ie the lawyers that do the work and bring in the money)and the admin and management personell - we have a problem that our admin/management side is so large that it is like the tail trying to wag the dog - my boss thinks I do a good job, I have some good clients and at the end of the day, if I leave, he loses fee income, if the manager leaves, he loses paying someone's salary - pity though cos Helena (the Claudia Schiffer lookalike) thinks I look like Shrek again now that she knows I am not going

IMPORTANT - Saxon, I am NOT now going to Raleigh next week as my boss is putting me on leave - I am trying to find out who is and where they are staying so that I can ask them if they can bring back your copy - my brother Steve may be in New York if that helps

On the forum front, I think we wind down the G&G thread - it is too egocentric, this thread is MADE by the contributions of all the people, not just you and me

I think the new general discussion forum is called 'Ye Olde Phong's Head' or something

I will set it up at exactly 16.00 my time (ie in 2 hours) so speak now or forever hold your peace
