OK! So I'm in trouble. Catlin-mc's partner just threatened to invade England because Catlin asked me out for a drink and a discussion about my questionable eyesight. My choices are: 1) Not tell him I live in Wales 2) Meet him in England and slug it out 3) Keep chatting and smooching with Catlin 4) Pursuade NATO and the UN I need help to invade Scotland 5) Remind myself that Catlin is a Fox and suffer weeks of heartbreak after deciding that smooching on the REND is all I could possibly hope for. 6) Forget the whole damn thing. 7) Invade Scotland single handed... Yous guy's mission, if you should choose to accept, is to help me decide what course of action I should take. The Bryster

Okay, I feel partly responsible for this problem being that it was my post that started this, LOL. You can already rule out option #1 since I remember Catlin saying that he watches these conversations with great interest, so he has, or will, probobly read this, and #3 won't stop him from invading your country. If I were you, I'd ask the UN to help you invade scotland and if they won't help you, your going to have to start a coalition of the willing to help you ;) Anyway, good luck.

Hmmm...not sure how this in on topic but what the hell... 1. Could be a good strategy. Though you might want to consider confessing...no one has ever been intimidated by the Welsh, that could work for you. 2. Get a pic or verbal description first. The lad might be a big caber-tossing bugger. Could be risky. 3. I think this one is pretty much a given no matter what else you choose to do. 4. Please, NATO? The UN? You'd be long gone and in the box before they got around to making any substantive decision. They'd even argue about where Scotland WAS. 5. Agreed, though here in the states we'd lean more towards "hottie" than "fox" these days...Fox is a television network now...but if she is willing to go for a drink you might have more to hope for than you're admitting here. 6. Pffft...right, like you could do that. 7. Hmmm...hasn't worked to well in the past. I'd say history is against you here...but that could be my highland ancestry speaking.

#'s 3, 2, and 7. ill bring backup if you want.

Take ten of your best friends who are willing to die for you over there meet him and ten of his best friends. Kill one of your friends - he must do the same - each of you taking turns killing your own friends until either all of both of your friends are dead or one of you has decided that there has been enough killing - that one loses. from pbs.org "In Search of the Cave People." ... or you could do 3 or 6. Most importantly ask yourself - what does she want?

The female point of view, ask Catlin what she wants and go from there...if she asked you out for a drink, go for it, but remember, it could just be for a drink, you guys tend to read way more into things than we do, that is unless you two have been secretly IMing each other ...:>

Ask Catlin wich option would be best.

Invade Scotland, I volunteer to secure the distilleries! BUT, remember, it is not about the whiskey!

You might want to keep it as unagressive as possible. Beating your opponent up is going to have the opposite effect of what you want. (And I know what I'm talking about, because I've been in that situation myself)

For goodness sakes, what is all this.............may I just add that Bryster threatened to invade Scotland first because I said there may be something wrong with his eyesight. And Zhann you're quite right you say to a bloke "fancy a drink," and they're already thinking about NVIATWAS. What is one to do??????? Ok I've decided I'm going to lock myself away in a convent and never look at the internet again.........she lied. Bryster lets call a truce and let peace reign again in the Brittish Isles. Remember Cornish, Irish, Welsh and Scots all come from the Celts so you never know we may actually be related. Catlin

Peace to the British Isles! And if possible the rest of the world too :)

I second that Rayraz 8)

But what about the distilleries?!!

I quess distilleries are not very popular at the moment.

You can have as many distilleries as you want Incarnadine. If you were to do a tour of Scottish distilleries each one gives you a free sampler so at the end of a day trip you could be well and truely smashed. 8) Catlin Another good reason to come to Scotland on holiday......the tourist board should pay me. ;)

If you come to the netherlands on holiday you can come listen to a concert of the orchestra I'm play with.

I understand that about the tours (grin). I have many warm memories of my single trip to Scotland. Loved tyhe place, would like very much to go back. Maybe in a year or two.

I have relatives there somewhere, I really should visit...hmmmm...:]

I didn't say a word.

Loved Scotland, loved the distilleries, loved the pubs more, enjoyed seing the remaining wall of the ancestral castle standing in the middle of a sheep parture...damn those scheming Campbell bastards!!!...ok sorry for that...

And where do you live now Claymor? It always amazes me how these feuds can go on for centurys. There are still Campbells and MacDonalds who won't speak to each other and that's after how many years? I agree with ttops...........peace to all. 8) Catlin

Zhann, come to Glasgow and we'll show you the sights. If any of you ever do make it to Glasgow you know how to contact me. Even though we Scots still live in the dark ages we do have internet cafes, so you won't get withdrawal symptoms. 8) Catlin

I still think Catlin's a Fox!

Anyway, I'm part Viking (true)We're used to invading things. And it's not about the Whiskey. I don't drink. Catlin invited ME out to discuss my suspect eyesight and Bryce.....I mean, what is a guy to think? NVIATWAS and what does this mean? More secret girl talk I suppose. Well thanks you all! It's been fun. I've opted for #6 (sigh) I don't have enough medication to get me through #5. The Bryster PS: Zhann: It's the otherway around. You invite a girl out for a drink (which I didn't) and they get to thinking you want marriage, kids and a 'For Sale' sign to go on your motorbike!

What kind of motorbyke have you got???? JOKING 8)

Catlin, My branch of the family has been in the states since before they were the states...migrated here in the early 1700's. Funny thing is I was at odds with a kid in high school whose last name was Campbell...and that was long before I knew anything about my heriatge!! Didn't know you were Glaswegian though...long live Billy Connely!!! or however you spell his last name.... :)

2 LL's 8)

Catlin: What? You want me to sell it already?????

And anyway.....what are doing up at this time of night....I know you don't need beauty-sleep, but all the girls I know like to get plenty of zedzzzzz...?

I tend to do most of my work through the night 'cos it's quieter, I work from home anyway so I can work when I want and sleep when I want which suits me fine. I don't think I could ever go back to the 9 - 5 hell, I just don't operate well on that time line. I'm also an insomniac. Anyway why are you up at this silly hour?

what time is the 'osity server time on, anyway? It's 20:10 here in Vancouver, Canada. Renderosity's at 22:10. ....New York time?

Tennesse time I think...I'm with you Catlin, night owl thru and thru...hoo hooooooo...:)

The Rend gives you the time under the date at the top-right of the page ie: whatever - (GMT-6) Catlin & Zhann: Snap...

I have run into that Campbell/MacDonald thing myself. It can be so sad. I'm Campbell (Thompson)/Cameron blend on Mom's side with Dutch royal bastard on Dad's. It's a fun story! I spoke with my girlfriend and we will probably do a trip to Scotland in the next year or so. Been there before and loved it, want to go back!

Give us a shout when you do Richard, it would be good to actually meet people who I know from 'osity. Catlin

Shall do! Any luck with your hair issue?

Getting there. Erlik has just told me he has been making weapons so I'll see what I can do with the NV thingy. 8) Catlin

I'm back to working on my terrain based axe, having posted last weeks distraction, I have in mind to do a NEITWA (Naked Eve (don't have any Vickies)In Temple With Axe (demon won't let go of the Sword)) I Look forward to what you do with yours!

Did you know that May's issue of the Computer Arts mag has a free version of Vicky 1 on it's cover disk? I got mine so now I don't have to do a Judy. 8) Catlin

I haven't seen that mag here (Montreal). Kinda take a perverse pleasure in not having a vicky though!

:)
