Hmmm, coming up to 1000 views on the thread. Wonder why?
Not a lot of interest in gaming on here really.

Might be that a large percentage of that 1000 would like to say something about MOH Airborne, but are waiting for the approval of the gurus.

Sorry I lied about not mentioning it again.

Do you think Colonel Sanders would describe that as "Finger lickin' good" mate?

"Describe how to determine the height of a skyscraper w

One student replied:

"You tie a long piece of string to the neck of the barometer, then lower the barometer from the roof of the skyscraper to the ground. The length of the string plus the length of the barometer will equal the height of the building."

This highly original answer so incensed the ...

Good one Owdun.
That reminds me of the rule of 72.

Maybe some guys here don't know this and would like to store it away for future use.
When investing your money and you want to know how many years it will take to double any amount at a given rate of interest, divide that interest rate into 72 ...

Why don't you just go away Harry? You are being very tiresome really.
You are supposed to be an impartial moderator here, but you are acting like some ignorant school kid with a grudge.
If I was an admin of a forum, I'd be looking at you and wondering if you are up to your job.

Yeah OK hole. Couldn't find it.
Good idea that the joke section is given a place of it's own anyway.
Wouldn't there be some Paras here that wouldn't click on the RM section on principal? Then they don't see The Swagman's jokes at all.

I don't mind our Harry. I already burried the hatchet with him ...

Apologies for that Anglo. As I said in another post. Anyone that shoots at me deserves my right to shoot back.
I look forward to better times when The Swagman can post without all the flak.

But I say old bean, good philosophical analysis of the situation. How right you are. It is so easy today to ...

I know that Hyper. I know how old soldiers are. But lads grow up and join the military and continue on with computer games at any age.

Take me for instance. I am older than 15, although I concede that many on here would want to dispute that.

Don't lose sight of the fact also that having a computer ...

I'd like to do that Holger, but when someone is shooting at me, I reserve the right to shoot back.

That is a very good question Alfa.
I have to own up and say that I have based my considered assumption of British formal education on the Australian model.
You see, down here in a land where we still call everyone Wogs and Abbos, virtually all young guys from about 12 are computer nuts.

By 15 they ...

What does this main paragraph say Harry?

Kipling was moved to write the poem following the loss of his son John, an 18-year-old Lieutenant in the Irish Guards, during the British attack at Loos in 1915. His son's body was never located during wartime and Kipling spent much of the final two decades ...
