Hi guys and happy new year to you all.
Well i thought I might try and download the game on my laptop. I guessed my conection would be to slow to race but thought I could at least watch you guys racing and heckle you all.
That was untill the estimated download time was 37 hrs. lololol.
Thats the joys of a flipping Vsat system at the side of my tent.
Well at least I can still get on the forum. When I get my 10 days leave from this hole my wife has dared me to even try racing, ha ha. Bless her wee cotton panties.
Keep the pedal to the metal in 2008 guys.

The flying Scott may be on your tailpipe sometime in the future.

My wee 20 kva genset only runs from 8am to 10pm. so i only have a 14 hr window. lol. I have to conserve my deisel as the nonsense in Kenya has brought the supply to a halt.
The joys of the job I guess. Thats what I get for not bringing my own laptop with me. I have now got Vista with office 2007. Not the best systems to run by a long shot. Give me XP and 2003 any time.
Well I best get back to playing games on my mobile phone, lol. Lucky I downloaded a few extras on it before I left. Its all in the planning. Never forget the 6 "P"s guys.
Proper Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance.

And the next thing is I have been told there may be a food shortage!! Holy cucumbers Batman, we are in a pickle!
You see these are the problems living in a 3rd world country that is dependent on neighbouring countries to exist.
Well have both tanks filled on my land cruiser and will make a run for the hills if all else fails. lol. That and a couple of cans of bully beef and I will be good for 2 weeks, ha ha.

I just get on the sat phone (which only works like once a week) and they chopper me in a few barrels. Had it convoyed in once but the local rebels hyjacked the truck and stole the lot for the crappy old Russian T55 tank.
Life does not get better than this. Unless you live in Manchester off course, ha ha. Very Happy

If they gets their hands on me I will be the Frying Scott. Sad

It can be at times McInsane.
But thats where the fun is. I have been doing this work now for 10 years and to tell you the truth, civilian life gets mundane after it.
To many stories to tell and to many photos to show.
But it all pales in to comparison when playing TM, ha ha. I now have a ICQ account and may start keeping a regular blog on it.
