English huh? All those extra "u"s are from the frogs and you know it. Stick to American English, it's purer.

In the words of a hot stripper once told me........... about men spouting

"all I hear is nah nah nah nah nah....."

smedz · Posted: Mon Oct 31, 2005 10:30 am Post subject:

ww2 - Hmm that was the war when america sat watching tv whilst the uk was being bombed within an inch of existence. Choosing only to come in after our greatest hour of need. Did you know that 70% of germans killed in world war 2 died at the hands of the russians ?

miners strike - justifiable stance against an almost fascist thatcher govt.

american vassals - your point is ?

I just realized something....The Castle 2 map was made by both Preacherman and myself and he hasn't gotten any of the credit. I'm very embarassed that I didn't catch this earlier. So could we please give Preach the recognition he deserves for his role in the making of this map

and let's not forget it was made possible by a grant from the good people at Toro-Corp.
