  1. . I would love to hunt down that asshat and give him a taste of fist-to-face and see how he would like it.

     

     

    No. Please Jackie, although I can concur with with your sentiment, we have to be greater than that - in the immortal words of Mahatma Ghandi, "an eye for an eye, then the whole world would be blind".

     

    My motto in life is, "fogiveness is the best form of of revenge".

     

    Peace

  2. The situation can only ne described as a 'terrorist' attack as the taxi driver held a machete against my throat. In that situation, what would you do? (Rhetoric question) - - I doubt if anyone would care about losing money in this situation.

  3. I am not posting this for sympathy whatsoever,..... I have just returned home after performing my debut piano concerto and was assaulted and robbed by the taxi driver.

     

    I have just come out of hospital, I am now blinded in my right eye. The damage is so severe, the surgeon has said that it is not possible to repair, and the best course of action is to have the damaged eye removed.

     

    This will mean that i will have to undergo 6 weeks of intensive analysis before surgery.

     

    This is probably for another board, but all I want to say is that I am grateful that here in the UK we have National Health System.

  4. I quite enjoy techno, have composed and performed in many clubs (give me a couple of days & I'll post some). The main problem I have, is with the banality of music the record industry imposes on society (just to make money for themselves) makes it difficult for any artist to thrive outside the commercialised culture.

  5. LOVE IT. I have played some custom servers that had a 15 sec freeze timer before you could even move. I don't like that idea so much because you can't gear up while you wait. But that DID work on the first map of a campaign.

     

    I tried doing this, but I need at least 3 other people to help me test it. Preferably someone with a slow computer.

     

    MPG is usually last to load in when I play with him. Don't know about his PC, but its probably his distance that does it.

     

    Most times after loading in every1 is already at the saferoom lol, then when next round starts 99.9% of times I have lost my spot.

     

    Proabably is due to distance, being across the 'Pond' (the Great Lakes must be a 'puddle' compared to the Pond}.

     

     

    I'd be a tester Jackie.

  6.  

    Well, afterall, the Euro crisis began with GS helping the Greek government mask the true facts concerning its national debt, (Greek finance minister Petros Christodoulou began his career with GS; not surprsingly the Italian market followed - the new Italian president Mario Monti is an international adviser to Goldman Sachs; the new Head of the European Central Bank, Mario Draghi was a former managing director of Goldman Sachs International.

     

    Money talks, not for much longer if GS get their own way, they'll own it all and everyone else can go back to bartering sheep.

  7. Margaret Thatcher in 1983 after winning the election for a 2nd time, having a celebratory dinner in restaurant with her new staff:

     

    Thatcher: I'll have the beef.

     

    Waiter: And what about the vegetables?

     

    Thatcher: They'll have the same.

  8. Thanks all for the compliments.

     

    The problem with most R&B, House etc is usually that the majority of the time there are no musicians (especially percussionists/drummers) it's all done by machine, Turntables; but even that is a mockery as most of studio work required to produce around 75% of the tracks is done on a computer using fruity loops software, a far cry from it's birth in the 1940s.

     

    btw, composing & performing is my life & career.
