looks sweet but the 2 times i’ve been on the server its been empty!!!
I’m also getting some weird artifacts on screen, it only seems to be when i’m either in the little heli or near it i noticed as soon as i got in the A-10 it cleared up………my feeling is that it was just my rig running hot and perhaps the heli’s need more rendering power or summat hence more heat as the gfx card is working harder, its something i shall have to keep an eye on 🙄
I trust it will be a Koala free zone that evening ?
@(^0^)@
And if the doormen stop toothy, i ain’t making out he’s my son! 😉
nice one beer, it’l be good to see you there…
As for the boozer, i’m ok with whatever’s chosen..though seeing that the Tattershall Castle is more expensive, i may decine to buy the first round 😉
As Pharty said, your on the central line there, i’l be working in the morning then go home early afternoon before getting a train back into town…..i’l be on the central line so if you want, i can always meet you at the hotel or summat if your not sure about where to go etc.
think i’ve sorted something out……….
I shall come along to “our” do first so really the earlier the better for me then shall have to leave about 8’ish and go to my cuz’s surprise 40th; which won’t actually be a surprise for him by the time i get there but what the heck!!
want me to reduce it in size a bit ? i can make it slightly smaller but still maintain the aspect ratio if you prefer it similar in size to my one…..
errrr, why has the layout of this thread gone tits up ?
very odd!! 😕
Anyhows, neon, i didn’t once think you were having a dig mate…….so no worries there!
I too have done selfess things….i lost an hours work the other day to return a mobile phone to a young lady who left it in my cab……she was leaving from Paddington to go to Bristol so i ended up waiting for her so she could have her phone back………phone returned, 1 hours money lost…..any reward ? nope!! does it matter ? Not really!! it helped her out and made me feel good……..
So if you would be so kind, i’l have my statue sited midway across Waterloo bridge looking across to the city…..many thanks. 😉
I picked up a fella the other day who served in Oman during the 70’s and saw action at the battle of Mirbat
http://www.britains-smallwars.com/Desert_song/Mirbat.htm
I was genuinely gobsmacked to be talking to the fella and my only regret is that the journey wasn’t longer and that i didn’t bring it up earlier…..hopefully i’l pick the guy up again one day 🙁
I was taking him to the special forces club, and we got chatting about the ladies of F.A.N.Y, an acronym for Field Auxillery Nursing Yeomanry, these were the ladies who i wrote about earlier, the name FANY was given to them as a cover for their presence in occupied France at the time. The guy was telling me how he see’s these little old ladies there; all in the mid-late 80’s and is still in awe of the work they done during the war! He mentioned Hereford and “the regiment” a few times so it was obvious who he was talking about…….it was only towards the end of the journey that i asked him his story and he told me about his 10 years in the army, 5 of which were with “the regiment” and that his personal war was Oman…I’m gutted i didn’t get to ask him about Mike Kealey or the feathermen; a group of individuals hired to track a group of assasins apparently deployed to kill senior SAS personnel, one of which was Mike Kealey who served in Oman…….the official records state that Mike Kealey died of exposure in the Breacon Beacons doing a selection excercise with potential SAS recruits but the story is that the feathermen got hold of the guy, injected him with something (he was diabetic) and left him out to die from exposure, knowing that the effects of whatever the injection was would render him powerless to do anything.
The book was written by Sir. Ranulph Fiennes who served in Oman himselfhttp://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0747510490/026-3363521-5027617
Sorry, i’ve gone off on a slight tangent but by the very nature of what these guys done in Oman in the 70’s, the goverment obviously had to keep it quiet so no medals were awarded at the time and many think that the Fijian SAS trooper Sgt. Talaiasi Labalaba should have been awarded the VC for his actions…..once again an unsung hero.
turks, animation shop has taken a while to get used to; it can be fiddly trying to sort out the frames you want when using a large mpeg as it won’t read a very large file unless you probably have 2Gb of memory….also, reducing the frames to a sensible level is annoying as you then have to increase the time each frame is displayed or else you get a very quick moving gif which doesn’t look right…the best way is to just select all frames then alter the frame properties that way…….
I could sit here all morning and write a tutorial but its late and i need to kip….i may have a go tomorrow or else, just ask what you need to know and i’l see if i know the answer!….
guess your right there neon, i shall retract the word courage and replace it with determination….. 😉
And in case there is any doubt, i too think there is no need for that statue in Trafalgar Square and at the risk of getting shot down i will go so far as to say there is no reason to have a statue of Nelson Mandela in Trafalgar Square either!!! Why should we have a statue of some guy who has no association with the UK ? So he done fine by his Country, to some he’s a convicted terrorist, to others a freedom fighter………the same could perhaps be said of Martin McGuiness or Bobby Sands!
WeT dons flame proof suit and awaits his fate! 😉
