[quote]The 2003 Kangaroos became the first touring side in 17 years to clean sweep Great Britain, scoring two tries in the final three minutes at Huddersfield's McAlpine Stadium to clinch a dramatic 18-12 win in the third Ashes rugby league Test.[/quote] Wasn't that the game we had the bet on? Doh... Oh well, Jawsie, at least the street party was fun - next time, we can bring some more Sydneysiders, and find a spot where we can hear what people are saying :)

[quote]Of course with me they get a life insurance plan too. Heck of alot more useful.[/quote] Well, you've obviously got money to burn if you can afford a life insurance payout for all the training hobbits you knock off. My health plan covers lots of injuries, but they have to be alive to claim it.

I've got the one that goes with that :) The Five Stages of Drinking ------------------------------------------------------- LEVEL 1: It's 11:00 on a weeknight, you've had a few beers. You get up to leave because you have work the next day and one of your friends buys another round. One of your UNEMPLOYED friends. Here at level one you think to yourself, "Oh come on, this is silly, why as long as I get seven hours of sleep (snap fingers), I'm cool.".

I spin them around like a hammer thrower, but holding them by the neck, not the feet. You get a better grip. That goes on until their neck snaps and their body flies off. (they're tied up in a ball to make them a bit more aerodynamic). With the same motion, I peg the head in the same direction their body went. There's no rule that they have to be in one piece when they land. And I didn't purposefully snap them in half and throw them twice. It was an "accident". So, any good-natured hobb

Heh, nice job there, Piers! I feel confident in leaving the Q-Store in your hands, while I go pursue my "extra-curricular activities"... [quote]and Weird Al Yankovic covers of MM77 show tunes[/quote] How did you know what I'm planning? Damn, your old Jedi mind-control tricks are still on fire!

I think the best council-style diplomacy in any other game was the one in Alpha Centauri. Not only could you propose motions (though there were only a couple available), but you have the opportunity to change an opponent's vote by paying them off. The price depends on what that proposal would mean for the opponent, and how much they like. If they don't like you, they'll never agree to vote the way you want.
