and the overriding principal of all of this is that there is no such thing as a free lunch... anything that seems too good to be true is most likely far too good to be true and a complete scam.

We see a lot of these and if any of you need dissuading, a client of ours WENT to Nigeria on the pretext of being handed about $10,000,000 worth of ADR's for $250,000 of his cash. Needless to say he lost the cash and had a 9 inch knife stuck through his thigh for good measure after being whisked off from the airport

Another client sent his bank details and letterhead on the promise of $20,000 and had his account looted of over £40,000 (about $65,000).. all on overdraft and of course his bank is requiring him to repay that cash

Think about it.... THESE THINGS MESS UP YOUR LIFE

For the sake of the residents of Ohio and neighbouring states, I consider that as a unified act of global mercy, all denizens of the Cantina should gather together to stop Mac carrying out any further research...

It is obvious that his methodology for conducting said research is mucky and potentially illegal...

Lo, do we wish this form of foul and anti-social behaviour to continue in the Cantina??

On a serious note, as was the Gryphin & Growltigga thread, I think the Cantina has now served its use and we should move on to another bar, if only to give Richard and Geoschmo the opportunity to save space by deleting the current 1230 oddPosts on this thread

Fyron, I am disturbed by this sudden burst of partisanship from you with regard to a game you do not understand..

I will make a donation of $20 to PBW if any American here (I am excluding Canadian) can give me a correct evaluation of the offside rule..

PS ENGAAALLAAANNNNDDDD ENGAAALLAAANNNNDDD ENGAALLAANNNNDDDDDDDD ENGALLAANNNDDDD ENGALLLAAANNNDD ENGAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLAAAANNND

I agree with GrowlTigga on a new thread.
At the rate we are going we will need one every 4 months. I seem to recall being concerned about this issue when it was first discussed.

GrowlTigga you phrase this:
Something about accepting ideas for a new name for a bar and grill. Suggestions will be accepted till post number 1400. At that time, mac will start a "Pole Thread" and the forum can vote on their preferance.

Sound good?

It has been suggested we go somewhere else for a drink. I happen to know of a few decent (and not so decent) establishments in the area, so here are some suggestions.

Warpz. A trendy bar in the centre of town with loud music and expensive drinks. Lively, with a good selection of cocktails. Their infamous "Vodka Warp Point Wobbler" is to die for. Literally.
The Colony. An ecclectic Soho lounge bar serving a wide variety of high quality drinks and vaxin finger foods. Live jazz four days a week and occasional poetry readings.
The EEE and whistle. Situated on the outskirts of town, The Whistle Serves good family food and home-cooked ambient wavelengths from 11 'til late. Some excellent Belgian lagers available in the summer.
Madame Oogl's Tentacle House. Popular and (ahem) highly accomodating establishment in the red light district of the Cue Cappa quarter. Not much in the way of beer, but the whiskies are satisfactory and the service is extremely stimulating.
The Bifrost Lodge. Traditional Space Valkyrie longhouse hotel, with friendly service and a family atmosphere. Proprietress Mad Helga the Decapitator will make you feel right at home. Some fantastic home-brewed meads, and an outdoor cat-roast on Thursdays if the weather's good.

These are some of my favourite places, but I'm open to suggestions if anyone knows somewhere better. Or we could just go round Gryph's place.

Damm.

No 2000. Can't we go until there are 100 pages of the thread?

ON a side note

I had my first wipe out on my bike (cycle)yesterday.

Concussion...Hurt from head to toe. And Pavement scrapings from head to toe. It hurts typing this...

I vote for

Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Eee's Head Cantina ver1.1

Madam OOgles sounds interesting especially in regards to one's furtherance of scientific experimentation, but the others mentioned also have a certain ring. hmmm hard choices.... how about the CTW Bar & Grill, where all the wonders of life bear fruit... or Richards Praciticing Patriarch Paranormal Bar & Grill, after all he is from Lancaster OH,

However, which ever we decide, the Furry Fluffy Bunnies must be talked into transfering to the location. With the mischief and practical jokes that some of our more infamous members are most noted for, it would be hard to find another group that would put up with us. Besides, they're already broken in and know what to or what not to expect.
OH, and the rose bushes must be dug up and transplanted as well, good defense against pizza nappers.....

just some ideas mac
