Bondbug

Hey, Claire, I'm sure my wife said she had seen Camp coffee in an English supermarket not long ago. Howdya like to have a quick look next time you shop. I have a feeling that it was a chicory based coffee substitute.

Am I allowed to quote myself? Well I will. Sorry you probably would not know this one. Anyone done SpellForce? I had it long before I even heard of Sacred and Morrowind. One thing bugged me, and kept bugging me, and I don't like being bugged. There is a conflict between SFShadow of the Phoenix (the 2nd add-on) and the firewall ZoneAlarm7 which produces a 'hook process" message. It has been driving me up the wall for ages, ever since ZoneAlarm updated to version 7. And no one yet has come up with an answer. I have been following the discussion in their forum, and trying all the suggestions and nothing works. The installation disk is nearly worn out with uninstalling and re-installing, and you can't make a backup. Its not that I particularly want to play this add-on, but its the sheer frustration of not being able to understand why the **!! thing won't work. That plus a game "Nibiru" which I have been trying to get for ages, which I eventually got on ebay, and which turned up scratched to pieces and non-installable. Yesterday was not a good day. Back to good, reliable Sacred and the 7 new chars I have just re-started !

So..we all love FDM 'cos we all love Funkified and ninja kangaroos. Got it

Where the blinkety blank do you see "Print screen" canny lass, I have My Computer, Recycle bin, picture of the grandson , and some bits along the quick start bar. But yes, I do remember a print screen command somewhere, but I think that was way back in Windows98SE. Help yourself to the wine, I just bottled lots, white, rosé and red.

Ah, but my daughter-in-law is my secret spy though you will no doubt tell me (rightly) that over back of Perth is not typical. They go off camping, into the massive area of desert, and they kangaroos is dangerous - you get one landing on your car roof and you will know about it. Australian rugby players are a bit like that too. I also know that there is a town which carries my family name at the foot of Mount Terrible. Mind you I was a kid when I looked it up, maybe it has gone now. There you go. I know Australia like the back of my ..er...well like the back of it anyhow. Once bought an Australian rugby player a pint in a bar in Sussex. So I am nearly a native.

Bless you for this thread Funkified. I feel like Epox avatar. SpellForce patch 1.52 and ZoneAlarm7 Yaaaaaaaargh! (nearly smashed the keyboard there) Thank you kind souls. I'll take some Gazpacho now. Quote Moon Reaper Is this some kind of Scandinavian haggis?

I would join in...but I can't remember how to photo the screen. Keyboard command? It's like going back to school.

I read the book way back. Wife reades and re-reads it all the time, between David Eddings sessions. We only saw the first movie. It was too much like a Hack-n-slash PC game, offended her ladyship by (quite rightly) missing out bits of the book, and (unnesessarily) changing some of the characters. So we didn't see the follow-ups. Your subtlety is impressive. Accepted with delight. What is the next move? I seem to remember that the avatar just appeared as if by magic - perhaps 'it's magic' should be the forum slogan

Seem to have opened a right can of worms here. - To me, as the coffee maker of the household, chicory is a product not unlike coarse ground coffee that I put into the percolator to add to round out (can't really describe it) the flavour - To my wife, head of the food dept. it is a salad ingredient, sometimes called 'endive' - To Ari' is is a lovely blue flower. - To Claire it is a memory...thanks for the evocative picture. It may still be on the market..get the spies out to check out the English supermarkets. So I looked it up: "A widely cultivated plant, having usually blue flowers" (one up for Ari')," ..and leaves used for salads" ( one up for she who must be obeyed). A poor dictionary this....Oh....oh...wait a min....Ha! "The root of this plant, dried, roasted, and ground for mixing with coffee.." (score 1 to BondBug! Yeah!)..."or as a coffee substitute" (mark one for Camp Coffee and Claire) Winners all round. Well who would have thunk it. So back to thread. Does nobody use it? Check out your Instants kids! See if it has been sneaked in there. I quite like a slight flavour of it. Camp (that may well be a triple pun) training in an illspent youth.

Sorry, I did not mean I wanted it made it bigger here, but I would like to look at this piece of magic in more detail. Can I import it to here and blow it up to look? My wife is a Lord of the Rings fanatic, she has put me in the picture. I had forgotten these names. Not sure I want the Ring wraiths to have my BondBug, they are a bad lot. You will have me riding a pterodactyl next. Come to think of it I would not mind that (not on the sig I hasten to add). And now it is explained I like the following up of The Ring thread. The slogan is brilliant. Don't get me wrong, I think the sig is great. Thats why I would like to get closer to it! After thought...Whose side is this Bond Bug on anyway? Sold to the old gent with the white beard. If I can pick up an old Bond Bug you and Schot and Ari' will get the first ride(s)

Quote Funkified Ah..I'd better say hi then, and welcome. Better late than never. Pity about that place you live in, all those kangaroos and desert. Mind you my daughter-in-law loves it. We got your rugby team here in September for the world cup, with a good chance I reckon. Don't mind me canny lass. Just an old embittered great grand-dad.

I like it! I like it! How can I blow it up a bit to get the detail? Mind you, speaking as a ruddy ignorant peasant, who are Condor and the Nazgul. I think my reading and understanding of the plot are a bit shaky, I am too busy trying to survive to take in these details. I have got as far as Wilmur and Prince somebody, and a fair lady, and a baddy in a castle, but as to whose side I am on or against who...ah, well. If it has the wrong colour circle round its feet I bash it.

I wondered about other folks feelings about chicory. When I was a kid in Northumberland, coffee in our house was 'Camp' coffee - a concentrated liquid which was heavy on chicory, if not entirely chicory. I think Pev knows it, and it is possibly still on the market. So my taste buds got used to it. Now we buy coffee beans and grind them as required to make fresh coffee, but I always add a little chicory, about a sixth of the amount of ground coffee. What are your feelings on this one? I know 'instant' is normal, and I have no hang ups about instant. I have never thought to check the chicory content in instant coffees? Does any one know (or care) ?

Or Clan Cookies for TimOD

Yep. I think apart from the incredible friendliness (Sacred is the same in that respect) its the sheer variety here, and the creative ingenuity of the imaging. And people like EvilMale up above making it worth while And Clan Cuisine, Indy - we would need a banner. Any offers?

I am less sure now. When I look thro the forum, where there is an impression of most people having sigs, I notice that it is more a question that the people who have sigs post a lot! I like the lettering on Epox', I like the impact of Tim of Dooms', I like Ari Lafta's. Clear lettering, not too much of it. Orange I suppose (for the Bug), autumn colours (for my age). It would need to go with the avatar colours. But open to any suggestions.

Hi Borg. I tried this link out... ...and got a photo of somebody else's feet in my sandals. Mind you they did look good enough to eat, rare and flamed with a good sauce. PS Where do you get those fantastic little cartoons. They your own work?

I am beginning to feel undressed without a sig. I held off because I felt it used too much memory (repeated over 100 times). But, well yes, I begin to feel undressed. Could someone manage something beautiful for me? Perhaps using some of the themes from the brilliant avatar image that you cooked up for me. Beyond that I have no ideas. Am I entitled to a Fellowship of DM label or anything? Do I need a clever slogan? Lettering? Colours? I will look around and come back.

After-thought. Actually the hardened Scots I went curling with in Perth drank it with lemonade!

Bragging rights perhaps, and plain bloody minded national pride perhaps, and all the tourists want to try it. I quite enjoy it, though. Yes, it can be heavy, and a life's work to make. The commercial ones are perhaps easier for the beginner, but I expect that is what you were served.. Just come from another thread. I have the same attitude as you have, but your haggis is my gazpacho ............ I will get to like it, even if it kills me....mutter...mutter...

Following my previous thread, I need to look ahead and plan now....you might not be here to consult in xxx years time. Please exercise your minds and advise me on a proper 'build' suitable for use by an 'academic', even 'professorial' avatar. professorial paladin if you like Not too academic perhaps, I need to keep fit for the college Am. football, or preferably rugby, team. So a reasonably robust professorial avatar. Not a dwarf, I am 6ft+ and I hope I walk more majestically than that, and preferably not that scruffy BM who seems to like hiding inside that hood - I am of course a fine upstanding figure, good looking and handsomely proportioned. (can't guarantee that at 95 but still...). A hetero...no...er..hybrid type with only a slight accent on academic brilliance, and I do like pretty spells that keep people at a distance, and pretty avatars who walk beautifully but that is not quite relevant tho I remember a teacher who could not take his eyes off....ah, well that is beside the point. Your help will be appreciated. :cha (18):

I will quote "......er....no I won't, it's in French (phew Gogo that was a near escape). Well, in brief, it was a report of a certain Nola Ochs who had been awarded her Degree in History by Fort Hays Uni, Kansas, at the age of 95 So there is hope yet for us old codgers. :rolleyes: Help me please. I need a subject for an MA or PhD (Masters or Doctorate in US?). Something I can study within the bounds of Sacred and DM forums. Socio, economic, politico, philosophic, psychologic, (not pornographic), in-depth psychological analysis of moderator's attitudes, variations in blood-lust ratings by economic, age, or social group. :cha (18): All you students and academics out there, any ideas. Gimme a workable outline, I have not much time left. Oh, and I will need a tutor too. Any offers?

meant, mace, maple, cement, mental, name, lament, team, tamp, calm, mantle, mantel, placement clean, lace, pace, cane, teal, place, plate, plane, teen, panel, yact, enact, pant, pent, and I see you got the 8 letter word. :cha (18): Give me a shout when you want another

Yep Borg - I thought it might put you off ! But you did say......... I might just post one to Myles.

OK. Try..... T P N C M A L E E And let's make it words of 4 letters or more! Hey. Did I scare Indy away? Hope not.
