Cheers buddy
If I fold my birthday card in half i feel much happier about the age on it

Very true. Heading to bed, up at 0700 GMT, 4h after the deadline. Wonder if it'll flash?
edit: http://crimea-media.ru/Web.html about 40 webcams around Crimea most working live in real time. Few pro-Russian camps in squares but nothing military today. Worth checking out tomorrow if the internet stays up.

See we share our weather with you! lol
Hopefully not to much damage and the perks got to help clear a few trees of their own.

So yeah Ukraine etc. Putting aside the obvious, if the Ukrainian Naval commanders hold true to their word and don't surrender are we really going to witness the first modern surface sea battle in history? Ukrainian Frigate and a Corvette Vs Russian Corvettes and a Destroyer ...

In my defense i am on some pretty stupid meds at the moment for a skin fungi, my bad for ranting chaps

Got to agree with you guys. If there was one concrete rule the community was not to break it was involving money in addons. You could do anything you could dream of with the game as long as it was free. Once this comp runs its course and a select few effectively win the lottery, whats going to happen to the mod teams that didn't win? Has the community really shrunk to the point where we only have one or two top modders these days? ... A quarter million dollars *facepalm*

Check back into .info news page for the first time in a while and see BI are running a competition. Whats the prize? A goody bag? nope. A signed collectors edition of A3? nope. A copy of VBS? nope.

A quarter million dollars? yup.

Is it realistically possible i will ever make it through a gaming quarter without Bi pushing me to burn my ArmA collection in embarrassment?

edit: Also its a bit rich to offer what is essentially a massive bribe to kick start the modding community back up. Well Bi you f*cked me over with A1, you made me wait a year for tools in A2, then you f*cked me over again with the A2 multiplayer. You've had A3 in the public domain for nearly a year and its still not finished ... sorry but money isn't going to bring me back. 3 months of modding today doesn't even come close to 3 months of BWMOD CTI + FFUR etc in OFP and that right there is what your prize money cant buy. /rant

Thinking of having a go at joining the UKs new National Crime Agency. Apparently i have to weary of "Potentially Compromising Associations"

A decades worth of growing up here talking war, glorifying Nazis, planning assassinations and jail breaks, terrorist attacks whilst enjoying mild pedophilia, bestiality and blatant racism shouldn't be a problem right?

Must have been a jam in the awesome people machine

Happy birthday buddy!

oh baby

Wittys birthday too? Damn man hope you had a good one! You must be nearly 18 or something?

Aw man happy birthday buddy

Sooo crazy lady tried to shoot up Capitol Hill.
If you watch the video she crashes the main gate and then is surrounded by armed Capitol Hill Police Officers with guns drawn. She pauses, they all hesitate so she rams through them off along the road towards the Senate giving the perusing officers the slip driving around a roundabout before ramming a police car outside the US Capitol building and coming out shooting before being downed and arrested.

What struck me was if that car was properly packed full of high explosive this could have easily been the next 9/11. It would have bought the Dome - the symbol of capitalism down. Some security guys are gunna get fired

Eeey Toadball have a good one buddy! I would say don't drink and drive but i don't think that'd help you

Ah the satisfying finger ache of counterstrike #amotherf*ckinghashtag

Amen to that!
Recently google has either been auto-completing my searches and opening the results or just opening a page it thinks i want to look at. Been really enjoying playing Kerbal Space Program (a kick ass sandbox space sim-them-up) and found myself looking on google for guides etc. So there i am typing in K...S.. and up pops "Katharine Susannah Prichard Writers Centre" covered in google adds and 'buy my sh*t' stickers. *close* no google im looking for K...S...Katharine Susannah Prichard Writers Centre!!! BUUUYY ITTT!!! *blocks through AVG* K...S...404 Page ........

The difference is the financial impact of the Iraq / Afghanistan war on public spending had a direct impact on the British general publics daily lives. Dumping 100bn from the GDP on the war, 120bn bailing out the banks and 50bn selling off our Gold reserves cheap at the height of a recession has crippled literally everything. Transport fares are hugely expensive, hospital A&Es are closing, schools are overcrowded and wages are falling as inflation rises. All we've had for 5 years now is massive cuts in basic services whilst the cost of those services left have doubled ... all this hardship caused by the lies of a few men that Iraq had chemical weapons it could use to strike British interests within 40 mins.

Everybody (including war loving muppets like me) sat up and said hang on a minute, we've been down this road already, we know where this leads. Lets sit this one out and finish clearing up the mess from the last war at home first

Its taken the entire country, 3/4 of the MPs, the UN, NATO and half the worlds leaders to stop Cameron from single handedly dragging us all into anther war. Doesn't get much more dangerous or tyrannical than that!

Post apocalyptically speaking were all f*cked

Well there goes any military credibility the UK had left. If the UN / NATO had a backbone it'd demote the UK from key membership status. Still, not engaging in military action was the correct course.

Does raise one very key question:
What would stop the US from attacking a country it sees as 'a danger to US national interests'?

The UN no longer has any strength to its 'word' and the US ignores it (again). Western Allies like Spain, Holland, Germany, Italy ... and now the Uk ... are all opposed to military action but we, like the UN are being ignored. If the UN decided to boot the US out and impose sanctions how long would it take for the House of Reps & The Senate to impeach the White House or would it side with the President in support for its ideals? ... Then what? If words fail and the US is ignoring all reasonable diplomacy from the UN and its allies do you turn to military action to protect the Americans target? This is the position the Russians are in at the moment. Were left with the possibility that a NATO member state will attack (or be attacked) by another ... effectively toying with the idea of a WWIII. How much of the words forces would it take to defeat the American War Machine in the name of 'whats right' Vs 'Freedom' and how much of the world would be left habitable?

The idea of Dave in a cut half red dress with a G36 scares me

Curse AFP and their lack of research lol. Still the design is the same age just they took 3 decades to build the Typhoon [BURN]

Any Syrian action has nothing to do with protecting civilians or punishing the use of chem weapons. Its to cover up failures of security agencies - Looking past the propaganda what this really is is the Wests inability to control the flow of larger weapon systems onto the black market. The UN is now defunct as Russia has its finger (weapon systems including chems) in too many loony pies and has to veto any action to stop the West finding out the weapons are Russian. The West has backed itself into a corner with no option but to strike to stop these weapons falling into the wrong hands having to wreck further the credibility of the UN in the process or risk larger scale attacks on home ground.

With todays technology having a bunch of countries involved really just means they support the US in their actions. Considering two B2 could strike upwards of 120 targets simultaneously having a 30 year old British Tornado flight sat in Akrotiri (landed on an hour ago according to AFP) is just showmanship.

What i'm interested in is if Russia will come through on its threat to use its S-300s if the West launches an attack.

Greece executed Ivan Buchta and Martin Pezlar by firing squad in July after they pleaded guilty in their trial. It was all over the news, how did you miss it??

Speaking of which ... Happy birthday Mark!

Have a top 100 run down of Mila Kunis's sexist photos

much rejoicing and wot not

edit: pfft how could you balls up a #1 sexy shot with a woman like Mila?? MY number 1 - Much more spiffy

He has to be grateful now to you Dave .... FOREVER!!!

Stick yourself in her mouth and tell her to blow hard until you beep ...

I would just like to take this opportunity to take us all back to 2012 and the Strategic Defence Review where we all said 'Don't be a prick Dave, if you scrap the Carriers, ditch the Harriers, 3/4 the RAF frontline bomber squadrons, all the f*cking maritime and battlefield surveillance flights and 1/3 the Army we wont be able to protect all our overseas assets for 10-15 years' ...

Scroll forward 12 months and .... Spain and Argentina are forming a new alliance to take back British overseas assets that we cant defend or re-take if attacked. Well done Dave ... Good job there!

From Hohenstaufen near Göppingen. Yup you guys got smashed! Hope the docs fix you up buddy!
