Nice list, Gaffer ![]() (RE: Iraq - Blair did hold a vote in Parliament, but I don't think he was actually required to, because one of the powers of royal prerogative is to declare war. Probably not one of those things you'd get away with now though ![]()

well thank you for that: that to me is an honest and intelligent post: and because you so astutely put forward what you consider GOOD arguments against your position it, on a personal level, makes me have much more respect therefore for your own position! - i.e it must be well thought out at the least ![]() *bit tongue in cheek now* what's wrong with satire though? even if some of it was just plain Silly: weren't the Pythons? - i do not claim any comparison!!! - c'moN! give us an opposite humourous scenario! ![]() |

firstly total respect! ![]() for being both extremely funny, original and clever AND making important poltical points ( if i read it right?) through satire and humour! My whole point all along: a thread that could be both light-hearted AND serious, non overly dogmatic yet thought-provoking! ...er.. am i right in saying you are making a point that actually (after it starts) like the character - he actually doesn't like it? |

Count me in. I have yet to find a flight sim game to match Elite. All this swanky graphics and what do we get? The same games recycled again and again with different graphics.
