2. I've not listened to much Springsteen. Am I a shitty person?

You are not a shit of a dude, Gren. But you need to get fixin' on that problem ASAP (assuming you like what you hear, which, I mean, why wouldn't you?).
Live at Hammersmith Odeon, '75. Get on it, I swear you won't regret it. It's pretty damn definitive for his first three albums, and the live versions are uniformly better than the already-functionally-perfect studio versions. Especially for Backstreets.

Crack on with Born to Run, it is in, my opinion, the best song ever written. As Tiger says, Backstreets isn't a bad place to start either. In fact, they're on the same album with B2R being number five and Backstreets being number seven, I want to say, not too sure though.

Quite a fortuitous state of Bruce related affairs for me, actually Tiger. Met this girl at a party, Rosie her name is, whom I'm somewhat interested in. Asked her to meet me the other day, she said she wasn't sure. This gave me the opening of a life time. I was able to reply

"Rosie come out tonight, oh baby, come out tonight!" (lyrics from Rosalita [Come out tonight], it's on The Wild, The Innocent and The E-Street Shuffle, track six I want to say)

And would you believe it? It worked.

Sounds...roughly right.
And yeah, I don't think you're going to find another album as perfectly constructed as that, song for song - you might find things that are on the same level, but nothing better.

That's a slowball right down the middle!
Excellent work, GOram!

UKIP is basically the national failtard party. It's not as racist as the BNP (it claims), but it's got twice as stupid members.

So all the stupid people in britain gather under one banner.

It's a "hey! Were stupid! Dont vote for us!" signal.

No, that party was the Monster Raving Lunatic Party.

The Tories on the other hand are wannabe Republicans.

@Kour; It was a medical orderly that came to speak to Stanford, Kaya's still in the infirmary.

Yeah, but the chances that Smythe wouldn't be able to a) pick up certain signals about a certain relationship through Enlisted gossip, and b) put two and two together to work out that it was probably best to let Stanford go on alone... Well, those chances are small.

The Colour Serjeant stopped dead, "I..." He paused and looked down, "Damned..." Smythe breathed deeply before looking up, "Damned unfortunate about that sir. Bad show." As he was about to say more, however the WAAF corporal ran up, so Smythe saluted and excused himself. "Sir, sorry, I'm sure you're needed more with..." The Senior NCO paused, "I'm sure Corp' Waddock needs to speak with you more than I do. If you don't mind I'll get on Misters Talbot and Page, and Ms Noble's case."

See the part in bold.

This RP is now permanently about Royce and Cutler bickering like an old married couple.

Is it bad that my eyes were drawn immediately to the typo, like some kind of English Language Guided Missile?

Also, I must work out a way to have Smythe promoted to Warrant Officer Class Two/Squadron Sergeant Major

Do a Paddy Mayne and destroy an enemy aircraft with his bare hands, bonus points if it's done in mid-air.

You mean bayonet, surely?

OK, extra cool points for doing it in mid-air with a bayonet.

Happy now?

It might crease his uniform...

Who's at the tower?

[Kassaran]

It seems like some of yall are having trouble with pronouncing Jimmy's last name.

do any of our characters sound like their french.

Actually Mack (who's currently out cold) is part French, he also is slightly fluent due to an increased French presence in his part of Africa just before leaving.

Remind me when I go back into general to bring a gasmask so I won't be bothered by the smell of bullshit.

[Len Hyet]

Remind me when I go back into general to bring a gasmask so I won't be bothered by the smell of bullshit.

Alternatively you could avoid General at all costs
