Baby steps Mac. Let's get him where he can consistantly upload his turn before we throw all these advanced features at him, ok?

Last night I was stopped by the cops and they informed me that my road tax had expired two days previously. They also informed me that this was a capital offense. I had guests in the car, the cop was being very aggressive and it had been a very bad day at work. 1000 shillings later (about $13 US) I was back on the road, safe from the threat of being hung for a traffic offense. My guests found this very entertaining, some local colour to add to their trip. I was pissed off, it is the first bribe I have had to pay in six years.

Can anyone front me the cash for a few pints? I have been cleaned right out and my car is grounded until I can get to the road tax people.

puke pops back in the door, orders two pints and slides one over to Saxon.

"Road Tax?"

Geo and Mac, I have been dowloading the current turn directly from the PBW website, and uploading my turns back because of the inequalities of the PBW system and the obvious inefficiency, malpractice, embezzling and poor personal hygiene of certain people called "George" who run the service!

Geo, as Il Duce of the Knutsford branch of the New Sabot Freedom Fighters, I warn you that any further snarky remarks will lead to a state of hostilities between said heroic freedom fighters and the foul technocrats of Ohio.. you would not like the loss of privelages that that would entail, like breathing for example!

You know, every time I look in here, you guys make me laugh. Then I just shake my head and wonder which "institution" you, erm, "exited without authorization"....

Mac orders an extra large toot for El Saxon in regards to his bribery behaviour, and in front of witnesses no less, Road Tax, what the .... is a road tax? Mac waves at Puke and Dumbluck, notices that its a slow day in the cantina, hmm, not many patrons, so, hey Taz, drinks all around..... and since the Gryphin hasn't been around for unknown reasons,put it all on his tab

Mac strolls out to the new improved, high tech, patio, places his order with a FBW, opens his book on 101 ways to win at chess and continues to relax while on vacation.... aahhhh, still have 2 more wks to go....

relaxing mac

Mac will we ever be on the computer at the same time ??? I seem to miss you by about 5 minutes most of the time.

...Taz delivers to Saxon the brew that Mac orders and (in a friendly bartender manner) inquires: "So an expired 'road tax' is a hanging offense? What punishment does say hit-and-run carry?"

Taz refills Saxon's mug and adds a little of the hard stuff.

"sounds like those police have trained with the Keystone Kops!"...

"None," speculates Puke, "if you are successfull in the 'run' bit."
