That post definitely has the essence of dear Wig and his idiosyncratic view of the world. Let's face it, a lot of what's said here is right, and a lot of it is subjective rant. We all know the difference....and I can't deny how I enjoyed Wig's rants more that most else on the forum. Happy memories.
Friedchicken, whoever you are, be useful and paste this back to Wig in the World of Tanks forum, and please send him and his crew our very best wishes. While you're at it, be sure to let him know how we got to see his words in your post.... Stand by for another rant, this time, I wager, directed your way.

With the Rick's loss, this game and this forum are not the same ....
I miss him.

Went for a swim this morning at the Bondi Beach public pool. What an awesome city this is! And what on earth were the British bourgeois thinking when they deported all their convicts here? They should have moved themselves and left those fraudsters, Irish rebels and highwaymen shivering in the English drizzle and sleet.

The ocean was beautiful today. Not too many jellyfish, stingrays or bull sharks reported. A refreshing swim was really called for after being up all night with my stupid sick eight month old dog, Lloyd, who decided yesterday to have a scrap with a trap door spider, and lost!...
.....oh, hang on. Did I miss something? Perhaps those Edwardian judges had a point.

I'm doing something seriously wrong in life......

Howdy guys, happy Veterans Day to all who served, Simon bud, so good to see you back in the house of MOM, love all your posts.

I'm surprised that you don't remember friedchicken. He was a bad behaving player that got banned multiple times. Asking for forgiveness and promising to behave, then did it all over again.

I will give Wig your best next time I talk to him.

It was nice to talk to Rudolf and Cricket on the world chat yesterday.
Played one game and it wasn't lagging badly but the in game chat didn't work.
Can't say that I'm at my best but managed to go 22-6 and bomb 3 hangars.

Until next time, take care my friends

1: Hi TEXLAW...or should I call you SKIPPER ? I'd be your Gilligan any time. I would be honored.

2: WIG is independent.

3: STINKER... I wear my cross everyday and think of my little STINKER and always pray for my extended family. Every thought warms my heart and keeps it ticking.

4: FRIED..stop being an ASS!

I miss you folks.

Paul

Glad you dropped by, Paul!! It's nice when the old guard stops in. I miss Wig, but I just don't like the tank game at all. I do like this game and this forum. Don't be strangers!

I'm glad to see you here, Bell.
I hope to meet you soon, my friend.

Yay!

Some how I saw this on my suggested videos the other day. I think he might have a man crush on you Biggs.

I guess this is progress. Admission of guilt (in this case being a double welded, aviation grade asshole) is surely the first step toward rehabilitation.
If he didn't mean it, which is most likely the case, we can still wrangle some good news from it. Learning to say 'I'm an asshole' with tongue in cheek, loaded with faux humility and sincerity, is very good life skill! I say it almost daily to my lovely wife. It keeps her off my back and, from time to time, puts her on hers....if you know what I mean....
So, Moraf21, you might be a shit dogfighter and a social oxpecker, that pretty african bird that likes to peck at the open sores on a buffalo's ass, but you might make a good husband!

This just needs to be the Ronnie Biggs blog. We could call it "Rally the Partisans!!" or "Guerrilla Commentary!" Nobody can cuss like an Englishman especially when they have been banished Down Under!

Today started great. Now I am just sick. The savage in me wants to kill as many ISIS bastards as I can. The human in me is appalled. The realist in me is saddened that American service men and service women will most likely be on the ground in harm's way fighting ISIS without any means of victory. Shitty world we have...

The video in this link is not for the feint hearted. It's a brutal depiction of the war in Afghanistan through the thermal sights of an AC-130 gunship. War porn to some, but I'm not showing it for that reason.



It highlights the viciousness of the conflict against IS, AQ and the Taliban. Some of those killed in that film were already wounded (note the second pass) and under old conventions would be viewed as non-combatants, and some were almost certainly unarmed from the outset. Unfortunately, when your enemy uses suicide as a tactic, the complexion of the battlefield changes, and so does your ethical compass.

Our joint police / UN compound in Jalalabad was attacked shortly after my arrival in March last year. The outer entry control point, manned by afghan police, was breached by a suicide vehicle IED (a Toyota corolla packed with HME). The subsequent assault group was spearheaded by three young men wearing suicide vests, who took out our second layer of defence, an intermediate checkpoint, also afghan police. The remaining half dozen Taliban, unable to push further, seized a strong point and fought for a couple of hours with small arms and RPGs until they were all dead. The UN section of the compound was defended by ex Gurkha contractors, who fought magnificently and did most of the damage to the attackers. The death toll at the end of the day was nine terrorists, eight police and 19 civilians. I tell you this because I had never witnessed combat like this before, and it connects with the apparent cold bloodedness of the US strike in that film. In our case the enemy cared nothing about collateral damage, had no extraction plan and no intent to surrender. Effectively, they were already dead in their assembly area. In turn, our Gurkhas and the afghan police could show no mercy, and continued to pour fire into them long after they were out of the fight.

The rules of engagement changed on 9-11. The future ain't what it used to be. This will be a very long struggle.

My condolences to the wonderful people of Paris. Our thoughts are with you.

Thanks Ronnie, yet another well written post, The white tail deer season is about to start in the state of Wisconsin, this picture is a neighbours hunting stand lol as you can see, anything goes...

MOMs, should I copy my last post into the prayers for Paris thread? Not sure if it's appropriate.

Feeling better today. Not as angry. Seen a few of us in the skies. Always nice!

Maybe it's best that I post here, and not on another thread on Paris.
Nothing else on tv here but how Europe should react after these terrible events.

It would be wonderful to see when cartoons as these will be made by cartoonist from islamic countries and published in papers in the middle east. But I fear that such selfreflection is not accepted there by those in power.

Ka f...ing boom .

Pssssst.....anyone here? When no one posts in a day or so I start thinking something bad has happened in the world and I should leave the safety of my estate and head to the nearest truck stop to see what's on CNN News...phhhhh ok maybe tomorrow

Hi there MOMs!

Hey Cannon. Sorry MOMs for being quiet, but I'm busy trying to buy a house this week. So much paper, so much effort and so many dollars! A conveyancing solicitor just handed me a $1,400 invoice for what I estimate to be around 90 minutes work. A bit late in life I'm asking myself 'why the hell didn't I pay more attention at school?' ....
Oh well, at least I have more medals than him, and pride in serving my country......and buggered knees.....and a bad back.....and a metal elbow.....and a cheap car....
Oh wait, did I miss something?

Ronnie I'm on the other side of that fence, selling a house, a lot of stress on this side too, but I do have an upside, I own the house free and clear, I close on it next week, then dig a bunch of holes lol

....and I'm still staring enviously at other people's fences. 51, no medals, a piece of Lego in my neck and still renting <sigh>

How do you get a piece if Lego in your neck? Tried to google it, if it was some english phrase or something, but no luck.

Reminds me of the important task we as members of the best squadron of this game have.
Many kids that play this game are stuck right between two very important phases in life. They are in the transition from the exploration phase, in which they develop their creativity by playing with Lego for instance, to the puberescant phase, in which they focus more and more on girls.

Although talking about Lego can be very entertaining, since we as more mature individuals finally have reached the point in life in which we don't have to prove our maturity to anyone (and in some cases regress toward immaturity even), it is of far more importance that we help these inexperienced and often insecure little ones by guiding them through this difficult time.

Lego and girls are often discussed in World Chat. As an example I post this screenshot I made a while ago.

Screenshot? Screenshot? Great now I need my eyes checked..... Phhhh thanks a lot.
