Nam,

Glad to see you're feeling better!  Must have been the extra rum rations...

And now, a little pirate humor from over on ARC:

A pirate is on his ship, with his First Mate standing next to him. As they look out on the sea, another ship appears on the horizon. The Pirate looks at his First Mate and says: "Get me Red Shirt from me locker!" The First Mate gets the shirt, the Pirate puts it on, they attack the other ship and plunder it.
The Pirate removes the shirt, and the First Mate puts it back in it's locker. Later, as they look out on the sea, two ships appear on the horizon. The Pirate looks at his First Mate and says: "Get me Red Shirt from me locker!" The First Mate gets the shirt, the Pirate puts it on, they attack the ships and plunder them.
The First Mate asks the Pirate: "Why do you put on that Red Shirt to attack?" The Pirate replies: "It's so me crew doesn't loose confidence. If I get hurt and bleed, they won't know." Just then, they look up and see twenty boats on the horizon. The First Mate smiles and asks: "Do you want me to get your Red Shirt?" The Pirate replies: "No, get me Brown Pants!"

Sometimes............you have to laugh or you'll cry. Lads, I have caught an infection in my bad eye. Spent the morning in hospital then did my shift at work. I'm so tired-I have managed to bring my rest day forward so I will have Tuesday off duty. I think I will sleep well!

OK, one more shift to go............Wink [;)]

Darren-

Well, they say everything comes in threes.  A poke to the eye, then an infection in your mouth/throat, and now an infection in your bad eye.  That's three, you're all finished!

Chin up mate, it's gonna be better soon!  An extra tot of rum ought to do the trick nicely. Make a Toast [#toast]

 Hello my name is Roy and I buy model kits.

Spoke to Frank today about the idea of a support network?  Who out there needs a sponsor?  let me know who will take part and we can pair you up with someone.

Also I want to share some great news with you guys.  If all goes well we should have the keys for our new home on 31 MarchMake a Toast [#toast]

Now who of you are willing to help us move in?  Rum and food will be provided.

Darren, ditto what Frank said. Just take it easy and rest. Probably a good idea to take that time off a little earlier.

Roy, congrats on the new home!!! Make a Toast [#toast] Party [party]

OK guys, another rough night on the job.  The problem is what movie to watch: 40 year old virgin, Beowulf, Alien vs. Predator, or the Burning man?

Any suggestions?

Hmmm... you're probably already watching but my vote is for Beowulf!  If you want funny go for 40yr old virgin.  Alien vs. predator, haven't seen it but just the title screams no at me.  Never heard of Burning Man.  Anything to do with the yearly hedonistic festival in the desert by the same name?  If so make sure the kids are in bed first.

Good choice Roy, I've never seen Man on Fire but AvP is a load of rubbish and AvP Requiem that I watched the other night is worse. Beowulf is not bad as a bit of techie animation, but the Danish live action version from 2005 is much better.

Cheers

Well Lads I've got some awesome news!!! Party [party]  Look what my wife bought for me at an auction house tonight.

Cool eh! Its perfect, 24" x 44" with locking doors and glass shelves for $200.00.  Even my biggest 4 engine bombers and the 1/72 Snowberry in my stash will fit in it.  I'm stoked!!!

Of course there is a method to her generosity (with women there usually is) as she wants me to build another bedroom were the workshop currently resides and wants me to move my modeling stuff into the den off the TV room.  My delaying tactic was that I needed a display case so that my models wouldn't get destroyed by flying objects when the kids are rough housing.  So much for delaying the inevitable.  Sad [:(]  Looks like I got some work cut out for me!

Hmmm... I know a little late, but my vote goes for Man on Fire- excellent movie!

Dave- WOW!  Now that's a cool looking display case.  Too bad it comes with such a high price tag! Smile,Wink, & Grin [swg]
