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

GrowlTigga,
Do the honnors, Start the threads in your name.
"International Challenge" is good for post directly related to the Galactic Conquest by th Eries of Gryphn
"Bull and BattleCrusier" or "Tea and Torp" for side banter and other culteral studies.
Hmm, "The Gryfin and Growler Saloon", (or some other variation on the spelling of Gryphin), woulnd not be bad and I think the others would like it.
For those who are wondering:a Growler is:
1 : one that growls
2 : a container (as a can or pitcher) for beer bought by the measure
3 : a small iceberg

Ok Gryph, is it agreed that we start a new thread (which I think should be Gryff and GT neutral in its title) by way of a general discussion and 'beers round the bar sort of chap style' forum

when the game gets going, we can then kick off the international whomping session

ps didnt know that a growler - small iceberg? great

Growl,
Yes, I expect the new threads to be ego neutral.

Gryphin · #5 March 9th, 2002, 02:36 AM

GT,
Congrats on your success at the office.
I should have known better than to worry.

I always think best in the morning.
How about "Frog and Frigate Galactic Gathering"
Or some variation you come up with.

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
