Hard News: The Wellington Cables, in reply to Simon Grigg,
And I’m not sure you actually read anything anyone posts.
You miss Rob, don't you? C'mon, admit it. :-D

But would rather like a Neenish tart.
I've never quite found where Neen is...

If you're only thinking of it in terms of Halo and Eve Online and mega-million dollar results, then it is hard. But gaming is happening at a much lower level as well. Dave Frampton is seeing success within a small but profitable sector. I doubt he's the only one - he's just the only one I know of.

Not because of the appeal, initially, but because he couldn't be released until the bail was actually posted. It takes time to raise the cash. Initially, the Swedes were reported as not going to appeal, but it seems someone changed their mind.

Think of it as outreach ;-)

that bit of paper is really good for covering the cracks in the plaster you can’t afford to mend…
I'm told they also boil up quite well and can sustain an impecunious post-grad for weeks.

Apropos of nothing much, I was reminded upthread of a word that my friends and I used to use back in our teenage years (70’s) which was, more or less “cuntocks”. I can’t remember its origin, any specific meaning, whether we coined it or not or even whether it might be spelled “cuntox” – I don’t think we ever wrote it down, actually.
But it was a lovely all-purpose swear for a 15 year old, with the forbidden deliciousness of “cunt” (we were good Catholic boys), plus a two syllable versatility (as in “Cuuuuunnnnn-TOCKS!!!” or “CUNTocks!”) with a tip of the hat to either buttocks or bollocks as you might see fit. Not so much a deliberate insult as twatcock but more of a general expletive, like “bother!” but on a much grander scale.
Does anyone else recall such a word?

The purpose of the masks is to hide their permanent shit eating grins. How could a ninja not be happy? They’re a freaking ninja.
Zigackly!

Well, let's hope it's at least conspirational then, or there's a bunch of ninjas that are going to be really sad :-(
