Akuma, go watch Moonraker, Goldeneye and From Russia With Love for the best of Bond.

Sorry to see you go Nick. Hope we'll see you around in the future and can maybe lure you back into the fold when the time is right. Have a good one ...

Your application to the Orion Fleet will recieve all due consideration. Myself and the senior staff will meet in private to discuss your re-application, and whether or not it will be tendered. Please stand by.

Happy birthday dude! You get to buy the first round.

quote: The British comedy Red Dwarf was good for laughs, though certainly not a serious Sci-Fi show. I probably shouldnt mention this, but I recently had an indepth conversation with the actor who plays the Red Dwarf AI Holly when he called into the office after some Internet Support. Since I recognised his name, I decided to ask him what was going on with all that, and he confirmed that a Red Dwarf Movie is on the cards for production early next year. As a huge fan of the series, im somewhat excited by this development. Anyway, keep it under your hats, ok? Shhh

Im a huge fan of the Austin Powers series, but after having seen Goldmember today I dont actualy rate it that highly. It lacked the originality of the first, basically repeated the same jokes from the second and didnt bring anything new to the series. Sure, it had it's moments - some of which were fantastic, but all in all I was dissapointed by Goldmember. Having said that, I wasnt too taken with AP2 until I watched it a couple of times on video a few months later. Maybe it will grow on me. Dunno. 6/10 - Ok, but not great.

Lets try to avoid bandwagon jumping here Warpcore. He's not a bad guy, so he doesnt deserve to be flamed by people that dont know him. The powers that be have this well in hand, and we'll do the watching.

Mark and paul the beer barrel changers dont count dude. Unless ...

You're only a couple of years older than her. Besides, she's a barmaid - she's seeing your mates as well.

You so are not! Im moving in with a 24 year old primary school teacher next week. Beat that wiseass!

If you can ban him from the IRC server, then I say ban him for the same 30 day period. If he's to be restricted rather than banned, then he shouldn't be able to interact on official BC forums/channels whatsoever. Otherwise it's just a redirection of energies away from one public place to another - which isnt a strong enough deterant IMHO. As always, your call is final but this is my recomendation.

Ah, but I was getting ladies to wear catsuits while you were still being breast fed.

Thanks boss. As per our conversations earlier in the day, I have decided upon the following course of action regarding Epsilon 5 which has been approved and sanctioned by the SC. Epsilon 5, from the moment forth has been expelled from the Orion Fleet. Furthermore, for a period lasting no less than 90 days he is prohibited from reinlisting in ANY sanctioned Fleet or Organisation. Under no circumstances will any fleet enlist Epsilon 5 in public or private, and any such moves to recruit him will be subject to extreme measures against the offending party and Fleet. He is also banned from this and the BCC forums for a period of no less than 30 days, and will be placed under close scrutiny for the 60 days following this for any further signs "unacceptable" behaviour. If after this time it is determined that he has learned his lesson he will be free to reinlist in any Fleet/Organisation he desires with no penalty to those who recruit him. Should he veer from this course of action in any way, shape or form he will be banned from this and the BCC forum forever and without possability of reprieve. This is his last chance here, ever. Everyone should take stock of what has happened here these last few days and see that a repeat does not occure. You know the rules, you know the routine. If you veer from it, you know where you could end up. Dont make the same mistakes. Epsilon 5 is an exception in this instance only - and only then because of his previous good standing with the community. Further deviations by any community member will be met with the harshest sanctions. That is all. [ 07-24-2002, 06:08 PM: Message edited by: Blades ]

Ok, this one has been tough. Again. I voted for him to be given one last chance for the simple reason that I know him very well, and despite that fact that he been a controversial figure for just about as long as I've known him, deep down I know he's no troll. He is a huge fan of the series, a dedicated community member and has badgered me relentlessly about RP matters, Fleet specifics, recruitment strategies etc. 90% of our discussions are BC related. Every time I pop on ICQ he's there, banging on about Battlecruiser this, Battlecruiser that. He wants to know what else he can do to better serve the fleet. He wants to know if I can pick out a graphical glitch in a captured image. He sends me chapter upon chapter of RP dialogue and asks me to look over it, checking for inconcistencies, errors of judgement, misinterpretations etc. Yes, he's voiced a few things many of us may have thought over the last few months. That was very poor judgement on his behalf. He should know better by now that having an opinion is opne thing, but voicing it in a place where detractors are everywhere shows a distinct lack of common sense. We have spoken of this many times in the past. I've had numerous discussions with Greg and other senior fleet members about his behaviour. During his last "episode", he was stripped of his position, rank and command status. He was sent back to the academy and left there to regain our trust and think about what he has done. Well, for a long time he kept his nose clean and came back a better person for it. Sadly it looks like he's fallen off the wagon. *sigh* He's not a bad person by any means. He's not a detractor, he loves the game, the community and he gets very upset when things like this happen. He's just young and lacks the common sense to know when enough is enough. Some people screw up in the office, on the street, back at home - he does it here. Why? Because this palce is every bit as important to him as the home, or the office. He made a boo boo. He will be punished - but outright banning isn't the way to do it. I got my own way of taking care of this problem If the community will let me.

*sigh* And this tournaments England Donkey Award goes to the Arsenal Keeper. Or maybe I should give it to Sven for not pulling him off the second after he almost snapped his back after going over Cambell? Bah, it matters not. A good first half died the instant Seamen had his tussle. The game was over when he just stood there and watched the ball fly in from 30 yards and right over his head and into the net. Bah! Still, the Brazilians played a good first half, and once they took the lead in the early part of the second and dug in deep after havin their boy sent off, it was an uphill struggle to break through. In all honesty, we sucked ass in the second half. We deserved to be beaten, but we didnt deserve to go out with such a whimper. But never fear boys and girlf, the Three Lions will be back. Watch out Euro2004 - The English have another point to prove.

And dont forget the magic of Michael Owen and Emile Heskey up front. Them being LIVERPOOL FC players by the way. Tomorrow we beat Brazil and Germany thrash America. Better get to bed early for this one ...

Hey, good catch there Smileyman. As far as sport is concerned - there is no United Kingdom. You want to see the United Kingdom winning somthing, start a war or try the Eurovision Song Contest. Otherwise it's all England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland - although as far as football is concerned you can forget NI and Wales. And dont you find it irritating that the Scots, Welsh (and to a lesser extent the Irish) refuse to support us in the footy? Every chance we get in England we cheer on our lesser brethren, and what do we get in response? Jeers and abuse. I tell ya, being the best is a lonely business ...

quote:my irish got beat by spain but the US miiiight just pull off a win against Germany... hopefully It will never happen. Pity about the Irish, they played their hearts out and deserved to go through on balls alone. The second it went to penalties I knew it was all over.

Oh well, there goes Italy. That just leaves Germany and Brazil out of the big 5 left, and I cant see Brazil surviving past friday. Could it be another England - Germany World Cup Final? I kinda hope so considering the last time be met we trounced Germany 5 - 1 in 90 minutes. Sweet. And if Senegal take the title, Im going to shoot myself in the forehead.

Well it's settled. USA vs Germany and England vs Brazil. Heres my prediction - Good run USA, but you're going out against the Hun. You done good, but against Germany (Even in their current poor form) you're outclassed. England are on fire, and have nothing to fear from Brazil. Hesky is going ruin the poor Brazilian defence and put a lot of goals in that open net. This is our time gents, and nobody gonna get in our way.

quote:Brazil will crush you I'll remind you you said that when we trounce their sorry arses on friday morning.
