Huh, Gryphin, don't bring this up. Growltigga and me might be arguing about Bratwurst but US law extension into the EU is quite a big concern over here as Groltigga will confirm I think. You know, in Europe you cannot convict one to pay 10.000.000 bugs for lost hair but many people just appeal to US courts that happily convict companies in Europe and care nothing for the local laws.

Too right it is a problem, explaining to Americans that New York state law is not a global codus is a severe headache - probably explains why English law is more popular for commercial transactions!

Um, for what it is worth, I was pointing out that a recent court descision made it clear that US companyes were required to comply with EU laws. In particular where it relates to use of the web. The concern of the US companies is excatly what you point out. They are worried they will soon be required to do things your way.
I am in no posiston to take any position on this save the "Gryphin" one.

Growltigga · #**113** March 15th, 2002, 04:05 PM

Well, you are right that way as well but as I recall, isnt compliance with EU standards simply reccomended rather than a requirement, and I thought it was restricted to US companies with a trading presence over this side of the great puddle?

interesting to see if it works as I seem to recall there was some federal guidelines advocating compliance by US companies with the corporate governance reccomendations in our English Cadburey report but that just hit a mass of US ennui

apologies Gryh, was just working round your point rather than hitting it headon

"The Great"? Um, "The Great" what?
Too many ideas come to mind. Most of them are not postalble here. I'm too much of a gentlman to post the others.

Gryphin, yah boo and tiddly pom to you

It is all part of my cunning plan to psyche myself up into such a fanatical fit that I AM REALLY UP FOR THIS GAME

Cardinal Fang of the Cosmic Church of Universal Uncertainty is the greatest, he is the best, he stings likes a butterfly and floats like a bee, he is the man who put the 'fun' back into 'fundamentalism'

oh yes

In regard to voices, anyone who indulges within the confines of this thread, hears voices after compiling the different discussions found within and contemplating upon their meanings. They may even go so far to intrude upon one's dreams upon retiring for the nite, so Voices talking to you, around here, thats considered Normal

Aahhh, tis good to see a gentleman on this thread who know quality when it is sees it and who more then likely enjoys scientific aspects of research into the unknown universes,

Saxon,

In regards to inbribing upon oneself the pleasure of engaging in the fruitful delicicies of downing a liter or two, I must remind you that GT has promised yours truly with the juices of some brewskis and since his "butt" is hanging out from the trials of inflation, I must put lst dibs on his finances in regards to this indulgence of ones domestic pleasures. But be reassured, any left over monetary means shall be put forth to your good self to assist in your recuperation of parchness in this regard

just some ideas mac

Hip hip hooray, I have developed a cunning plan and have managed to employ a decorator to carry out the chores whilst I get to grips with those wretched Sergetti

Even more hip hip hooray, the decorator does weekends and Grendel has decided to extend her trip by a couple of days until Monday - I think she has found some more people to rip apart and mutilate or failing that, has found a particularily juicy bone!!

Growltigga, send me an e-mail. We will make up for your lack of experience in SEIV with my cunning strategic and tactical ability, your verbal dexterity and obvious charm and good looks and more importantly, if necessary we can set Godzilla on Gryphin and the other sideswipers!

Hip hip hooray for the British - galactic conquerors and lords of the ebon deeps, the Growltigga/Nippy the Magical Duck/Simon the Dancing Hippo and Ethel the Eclectic Echidna Alliance will sweep the spaceways free of all heretics, moustachioed or not

PS Mac, I have deduced what amounts to scientific research in your lexicon - I would point out that that sort of thing is illegal in some countries and under certain more strict religions, will make you rknees turn to water and will also make you go blind

NippyTheMagicalDuck, cheers for the kind words but I should point out that I dont on a first date

Godzilla? Grendel? you really are keen on your Mrs aren't you!

BTW who on earth are Simon the Dancing Hippo and Ethel the Eclectic Echidna? are you sure you are not locked in the room your man is decorating and the fumes are getting to you? are these any relatives to Percy the Porky Pangolin or Carlos the Crooning Coati?

"sideswipers"? If one checks the girth of the anatamy of a Duck, I would venture to say that this would pertain most profusly upon the feathery
type creatures more in regards to featherwipers.

Ole Gryphin, Tesco, PhoenixD, and Saxon where are you, warm up your plasma torps, gear up your induction centers, gather your creatures of the deep, for the challenge has been upgraded, I believe we have another player who indulges in the enjoyment of watching his ships being flayed, boiled, and flamed by those races of superior quality endurance.

In regards to the game, It looks like Gold will be the Version of play, however, we'll have to wait until all of us get it and get used to it first, however, we could start a shorter Version if everyone wishes with 1.49 if everyone is willing? post your replys

just some ideas mac

Growltigga · #**120** March 15th, 2002, 08:12 PM

I say a short game, Version 1.49, right here, right now

Come and have a go if you think yaw hard enough!!

I and the duck are game on to show all you nancy boys a right good kicking

PS life expectancy in this game, just under 3 turns after the first of you discover me!!
