Agreed. As someone who is constantly horny, I see nothing wrong in spreading a little love around.

I think a lot of people don't give Brad an awful lot of credit. I've just re-read the whole series from start to finish & to be fair his attitude, temprement & general character has been pretty consistant. Yeah he's head strong, but that's one of the things I like about him, a typical alpha male. The way he dealt with Robbie is exactly what I would expect from him. Obvoius devistation followed by stealy determination to make (and punish) Robbie into realising what a huge mistake he made was masterful. Yeah, he's had to look at himself & compromise, but he's done that & realised hes not so perfect....but at least he gets it & is trying to change. Interesting times ahead though with bringing down Omega, have a sneaky feeling the dot com crash in 2000 will help them somewhat!

I believe the goat is trying (badly), to deflect attention away from his evil self. Such an act should net him the award yet again.

LOL. Nice try, but... NO.

Amen to that!

A modern day take on this I guess is 'Pay it forward'. Where for every act of kindness made to you, you will return a similar gesture to someone else. Also the movie is pretty amazing as well.

Beginning without a shadow of a doubt. You can't discount 2000 & considering a decade is only 10 years, 2009 would have been the end of the last one.

hehe, well that's true, but they don't show off the thighs, so I guess it's the whole visual package I like... back & front!

I don't get the whole baggy pants thing. I'm pretty much an ass man & a pair of tight jeans (501's a favourite ) hugging a great butt will get my attention more than a pair almost hanging off!

Out of interest, does the story continue beyond Belvidera? I'm assuming it does ( & hoping ) because there is so much more scope to continue this. Also I'm pretty bias because English history is one of my things, which makes this series a total must read.

What's flattering is when someone compliments your work... not steals it!

ROFL. I don't think it'll EVER be possible to get a proper family tree. They're a randy lot & kids seem to pop up out of nowhere!

Finally I've caught up... damn that was some fine work Mark! This series just keeps getting better & better but our Captain is still a total nympho so all's well.. Gonna let my eyes rest for now til the next chapter. Can't wait..no, really I can't.

Welcome Stargazer! Just watch out for the rabid goat & the frisky MA.

Brad by a mile! lol I like Stefans' narration though, always a lot of laughs.

Finally having caught up, it's still Be-Rad, by a hairs breath, followed very closely by Bloodlines & The Box. I didn't think I'd like the box, but the more I read the more I got into it. Nicely done mate.

I loving bloodlines as well, but am only upto chapter 16 at the moment. Brian seems to be a little homewrecker in the makings, if they've sent him to Chicago, Marcel & Max better watch themselves! lol

She did this live on the X-Factor 2-3 weeks ago, awesome song.

Butty I've heard of as a sandwich, never seen or heard it used in the other context. Definatly a welsh thing, same as the rest of 'em above! Also what the Americans call suspenders, are braces. I got confused the first time I ever saw that term used; when a guy was putting on his suspenders, in the UK suspenders are a part of womens underwear!

Yeah, the taxpayer WILL end up footing the bill for this & a small fortune it'll cost as well. They'll probably just stick it on the plastic, what's a few more million on top of the 100+ billion we're already in hock for! Yeah.... just stick a few more pence on income tax & squeeze the taxpayers totally dry, we don't mind!!

All in all an amazing series so far, but still a hell of a lot to catch up on. Character development, attention to detail & amazing plot lines make the CAP series compelling reading & I can

This is a tough one, Brits & Aussies pretty much understand each other aside from the odd bit of slang here and there & I think our cousins over the pond get the general drift. Personally I tend to use a more universal approach, I use for example cell phone instead of mobile, it doesn’t detract from the story, but everyone knows exactly what it is. I always put ‘u’ in words, the Americans after all are the ones who can’t spell. Pants is an awkward one, especially as they mean totally different items of clothing from one side of the Atlantic to the other. But I think we’re all intelligent enough to realise someone is not going to go to dinner in their underwear! Now, if you’re talking local dialects & slang then that’s something else altogether. Whilst this would be ok in small doses, if you use too much then you risk alienating your universal readers who would have no clue what’s being said. A prime example of this is a story I found on Nifty some months ago. Based in New York it was littered with so much of it I didn’t bother to go beyond chapter 1, because frankly the flow was constantly interrupted by terms I needed subtitles to understand. I think most of all; you have to go with what you’re most comfortable with. I’ve got used to my bilingual approach, but even I slip up sometimes... as my editor points out quite frequently. Lol

I can't speak for anyone else but my excuse is twofold. My job for one requires that my phone is switched on at all times, even when in meetings a set text can be sent to indicate how things are progressing without disturbing other people. It's a useful tool to have in an environment where communication is paramount. On the other side, I like bantering with my friends throughout the day, not a requirement by any means, it's just something I enjoy doing. Checking e-mails, surfing the net in quiet moments etc are just some of the things that help break up the day. If I'm out to dinner etc, then as I said previously, I'm not rude enough to take a call or answer a txt, that's just bad manners. I will mentally note the vibration, but would never answer.

Well, that's freakishly different! :wacko: Unusual talent, pretty good voice... but the song sucks ass.
