Be Prepared

[stewey]

In the event of hostilities breaking out on this site tonight even though an actual State of War will not be declared, I have for hire, at reasonable rates, numerous items which I have salvaged from previous skirmishes. Some items may be slightly discoloured and/or dented. Please peruse the list and order at the appropriate time.

tin helmets
nissan huts
fox holes
cotton wool
shovels
wellingtons
heavy dictionaries
AB negative blood
bottles of rum
semi-automatic zappers
camouflaged key-boards
MOD issued "user-names"

If there is anything that you require that is not on the list please do not hesitate to place a special order

Ooops cross posted there!

[Aprilis]

May I offer you a brandy & Irn Bru stewey?

[Aprilis]

Oh well, looks like company dismissed. I'm off to get some shut eye in that nissan hut over there. Night, night all. zzzzzz

[stewey]

Lance-Corporal Aprilis........make that Captain Aprilis, I will gladly join you in the Officers Mess for a brandy and a bru. Perhaps we can discuss future operations, perhaps clandestine in nature, and see what comes up.

[Aprilis]

Thank you for the promotion Commander stewey. Cap'n Aprilis at your service SAH! (Aprilis. looking proper fetching in her combat gear, salutes stewey).

[Aprilis]

Ooooh, Commander stewey.....is that a gun in your pocket or......oh it is a gun.......b*gg*r!!!

[stewey]

Captain......make that Major Aprilis, that happens to be a memento from WW11. It's an air-cooled weapon that I retrieved from a Fokker-Woolf which I shot down On April 1st, 1942 and it can still discharge!

[Aprilis]

What an interesting little Fokker that must have been Commander stewey.

[Aprilis]

Your weapon won't go off in my hand will it Commander? What precautionary measures must I take before handling it sir?

[stewey]

Well, Colonel Aprilis, the smoking lamp is out, Last Post has been played, the flags are drooped: it's time to bivouac. Make sure that your tent is secure. You are granted leave tomorrow in order to refit yourself with new uniforms with the correct insignia..........nighty night..............(he mumbles, in an unmilitary manner}

[Aprilis]

Wow COLONEL Aprilis!!!! I am going to look just faaabulous in that new uniform!

[huge grin!]

Goodnight Commander stewey.

[ReinaLuna]

Buuuuuaaaaa.... think I might have arrived too late to participate...
Does anybody still have some Bailey's for me?
Anyway, going to bed now so, have a great Sunday you all :o)

[megan07]

Now that is what i LOVE to see a good bit of fun loving banter thank's guys and thank you Answer Bank have a good day love megan

[opera winfre]

Looks like i missed all the fun last night.
Even though there was none of the usual saturday night moaning and back-biting that has become a regular feature of a saturday evening.

[Essentially]

hhmmmmm. I'm new here but I can't help but wonder why you guys don't just get yourself together in some Conference-Chat client (like Yahoo for instance) where it's totally private and you can do *exactly* what you do here.

The biggest difference of course is that you can have voice and even play music through your system.

That seems a lot more fun than sat here looking at a screen waiting for answers to come in and no cross-talking.

Just a thought :-)

[stoat the ba]

but you canny beat the glescgae banter.

[ReinaLuna]

Essentially, maybe it's because although some people here can be quite open, they are not prepared to go further? here you can have any nickname you want, can be anyone you want, and there's no way of finding out the real identity unless you give your real name and mail. Probably many people here told stuff about themselves exactly because they KNOW they have a privacy...

Myself I'd go in a chat with some of the AB's because it would be a pleasure, but I also wouldn't offer it because I don't want to seem invasive, so... if you had the idea, why not starting to ask other people's opinions and maybe creating a room yourself? than you can invite us (or the ones you want!) ;o)

Anyway nobody answered if there is any Bailey's left for me.... c'mon guys don't be so selfish, share the goods, hehehe....
