Oh, I don't know that that applies to England any more - I think even Bill Clinton and possibly even Wubbya Bush have been/are going to be made 'sirs' - kind of devalues the whole think - now baron, that is the title for me

'Baron Growltigga of Cheshire' - that I like the sound of

BTW, one of the lads has now raised the 'circle the wagons' issue to the accountants from pricewaterhousecoopers downstairs - they are laughing so hard they need oxygen but the general consensus is that if 8 solicitors and 4 accountants can't come up with a creative description, no-one can

oops, just been told the property consultant is in on it so that is 13 of us

I get the feeling this will keep us going through the night, I hope you dont want royalties!

"The rest of the discussion is based on what possible 'politically incorrect anatomically impossible' ahem 'act' could be described as a 'circling of wagons' - that discussion is ongoing and I think you have created a monster here "

OK, I did NOT need that image!

< deep rolling chuckle, mirth emitting uncontrolled > I'll take some of that oxygen.

BTW: have you noticed my number of Posts?

When I think of it, most likely the first group of peoples to have wagons, circled them each night. I'm trying to figure out how to use it in SE IV. The AI seems to only attack from one direction and as such the tatic is uselss

If you want an "anatomically possible" Version, just think about the old ice-breaker party-type game where everyone stands in a circle, facing clockwise (or counterclockwise, as long as everyone conforms to the decision), and then sit down on each other's laps...

Or was that too graphic for y'all?

Just to bring the discussion back out of the gutter for a moment, the only other forum I posted to regularly was fine for a year or so, and then degenerated into an ugly flame-spewing beast with multiple board-crashing hacks per day, many of which ended up being blamed on either myself or my SO, mainly because we met via said forum, and the other regulars got upset and began personally attacking us. So, obviously we were deemed the only ones with a motive to crash the board. Anyway, the situation got so out of hand that eventually the forum was moved to a much more restricted setting (according to a friend of ours who continued to monitor the board from time to time). Not certain if that board still exists...
