[size=1]I would say that you should do what's best for the animal, if that means putting it to sleep well then so be it however if the cat were to be able to survive then I'd suggest another option. If this animal means a lot to you then I would suggest that you think long and hard and then listen to what your heart tells you to do for the cat. We can only give you our advice it's you that has to choose what's best for the animal. A few years ago my father had to have two of our dogs put-down. One was a pup because my mother rolled over it's foot and vey badly injured it (which I still haven't forgiven her for and probably won't) and it's mother by a neighbour who has so far killed 7 dogs around our area with his speeding jeep. It hurts to have to see a pet die but if it's for the best then we can't argue. [/size]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by OlgaTheDwarf [/i] [B]I really think that you guys are acting pretty dumb about this whole situation, and trying to be mature. Another more recent movie (within the last 10 years) that is quite an impressive horror film, is Event Horizon. Think, the Shining in space.[/B][/QUOTE] [size=1]So how exactly are we acting dumb OTD, I think everyone so far has made legitimate reasons why the think that horror movies are declining in quality and as for the mature part would it not occur to you that some of us are mature. I'd agree with you though about [b]Event Horizon[/b] that was a good horror film, not massively scary but still a very good quality horror film. Though I think that it relied too much on graphic violence in parts to enduce fear.[/size]

[size=1]I think some of the best commercials ever made have come from the Mars Company, I mean think about, when these ads were on TV did you not laugh like hell. - Mars American Football Ad where the Guy ends up thinking he's Batman after a bad tackle - Snickers Boxing add that played of Mike Tyson biting off a piece of Evander Hollyfield ear "What d'you mean I ain't got nothin' to worry about" There are other but I can't think of the now, however I still say along with that hillbilly one Mars make the best comic ads/commercials anywhere, anytime.[/size]

[size=1]Quite true Semjaza, I used to be quite a bit fan of horror films but I have begun to notice that the quality is indeed slipping dramatically. I mean what was the name of the film.... Freddy vs. someone... Freddy vs. Jason, I didn't actually go see that film however several of my classmates did and they said that it was utter garbage. I think one of the key facts to consider is TV, we all know that TV is just as violent and even more so when it wants to be than movies. I mean you watch enough guys brains getting blown out and eventually you just tune out. It is true though that we're getting desensitised, I mean look at the film The Exorcist, 10 years ago (maybe more I can't remember) that was supposed to be the scariest movie of all time. You watch it now and your now unimpressed, however I will say that one film that did have me genuinely scared was The Ring but an awful lot of that was just shock horror that caught me off guard. That's all I've really go to say.[/size]

[size=1]Favourite Boss, there are a few to pick from. [B]Favourite Boss:[/b] I suppose since it's been so long in terms of playing the other games in the series I can only remember really enjoying fighting [b]Jalhalla[/b] the Boss of the Earth Temple in the Wind Waker. I mean what's not to like about this Boss. I mean fighting him is light being a ghostbuster and at some stage everyone wants to be a ghostbuster, plus even if you kill all but one of the Poes that make up Jalhalla he can reform himself. I also found that when I fought Jalhall it reminded me of the final fight with Bowser in Mario 64. [i]Other Liked Bosses:[/i] - Volvagia (he's a giant Dragon for God's sake what's not to like) - Helmaroc King (The boss fight is great plus this giant armoured turket doesn't look half bad) - Agahnim (Being able to swat away magic with a bug-net merits this guy a spot plus the fight was also good) [b]Least Liked Boss:[/b] A few different contenders for this title too, but one does stand out from all the rest and that's [b]Puppet Ganon[/b] from the Wind Waker, I never found his first two forms troubling or even difficult but that last one, the kind of the catepillar was just the greatest trial of my patience. I mean hitting his tail was pure luck sometimes and I am thankful that I kept three fairies constantly. [i]Other Unliked Bosses[/i] - I'm trying to remember back to A Link to the Past but it's been a long while since I've played it. The Giant Worm or something in one of the early Temples in the Desert I remember that fighting him turned into a bit of a nightmare and I died a good few times before sussing out his weakness. - There are other from LttP I just can't think of them.[/size]

[size=1]My favourite temple ehh, does this include all temples or just those from the Ocarina of Time. I suppose though the list will be pretty much the same. [i]OoT Only[/i] [b]Favourite Temple:[/b] Fire Temple without a shadow of a doubt, I don't know what it is that I really like about this Temple but there just somthing about it that really does make it stand out from all the others. I there's the Gorons, the Megaton Hammer and of course the final battle with Volvagia in the Boss Room which was just excellent. I would agree with Desbreko when he said that the dungeon itself is well laid out as are the traps and the enemies (and yes those fake doors were a brilliant idea). [b]Depised Temple:[/b] I don't know if there was a Temple on that game that I ever truly despised, I mean sure I got caught here and there on puzzles but in the end it all worked out. If I had to pick my least favourite dungeon the it would have to be the Water Temple, there were just so many things that I made a hames (Irish term for mess) of in that Temple. However I did enjoy the Mini-Boss fight against Dark Link I mean how could you not think that fight was classic Zelda, however the actual Boss Animorph (I think that's it's name) was a real pain in the *** for a while but like all enemies can be beaten given enough time and practice. [b]Most Fun Part:[/b] Well as Desbreko has already given us his most fun part I think I'll do the same. I suppose the most fun part of the game for me anyway was the horse racing on the ranch. I was quite easily able to beat the nasty fellow there and would often just go back and re-race him for a laugh to see how far ahead I could get. I would also agree that the Garudo Hideout is good and quite enjoyable once your able to walk around freely but sneaking around had it's fun to it too. [i]All Zelda Games[/i] [b]Favourite Temple:[/b] See Above [b]Despised Temple:[/b] Wind Temple from The Wind Waker, I really don't know what it is that makes me loathe this Temple but something really does. I think the dungeon itself is a pain to navigate and the enemies pop out at the most inoppertune times, however fighting the Dark Nuts is always great but that doesn't excuse the Temple itself. The Boss Molgera was also annoying, not hard but just too awkward to hit sometimes and those little worm creatures he spat out I practically ignored. [b]Most Fun Part:[/b] Sailing the Great Sea at Night, I don't know why I like it but I just do, there something about sailing that I've always liked and the Great Sea is one kick *** place to just set sail and take to the winds. My favourite spots to sail would be between Dragon Roost Island, the Tower of the Gods and the Island where you fix the Lighthouse and the Ferris Wheel (I just can't think of it's name). I think that's about it, thanks for anyone who takes the time to read this.[/size]

[size=1]Huh I guess I was the only one beyond inti who thought that this might have been a good idea, even if it is not feasible now as James stated it could still be an idea for the future. I agree with James who says that posts are not a judge of a person's character, I mean look at me I'm here 3 years and I've only got 636 posts that's less than one a day. But that's really beside the point. I for one would quickly volunteer for this job if it became available because I know how hard it is for newbies here in the beginning when they've not found their feet yet.[/size]

[size=1]Great posts guys, let's keep them coming. [I]Van had already pulled a lightsaber free from the case leaving only a single one left for Thrukh should he need it, igniting the lightsaber quickly he dodged another of Fett's shots that fired across his midsection. Van's orange blade along with Jodo's yellow one seemed to illuminate the area clearly enough to be able to fight, but Van made no mistake in dismissing the thought that two Jedi wanna-be's with no training actually stood a chance against the greatest bounty hunter in the galaxy. Van held his lightsaber in a defensive stance more interested in not being shot than driving off this bounty hunter, knowing what he had to do Van started running in the opposite direction to Jodo. Shouting for Fett to catch him Van was already into the thick undergrowth of the tree but Fett had superior tracking equipment and this wouldn't buy him time. Running as fast a he could Van soon found himself in the middle of a clearing not far off the village, he gasped as he looked at the high rock walls that bordered the other side, he was trapped there was no two ways about it. Fett in pursuit calmly approached Van and asked him to lay down his weapon, Van thought that he might be able to buy himself a little time before being captured, he just hoped that time might be enough.[/I] [b]Fett:[/b] Your not the first Jedi or rather apprentice I've had dealings with tonight boy, lay down your weapon and I will not harm you, otherwise I may have to take matters into my own hands. [I]Van now realised that Fett must have captured Jedgar when he went out for his walk, swearing under his breath Van stared into the cold black visor that covered Fett's eyes. Van was pretty sure that Fett wouldn't try a direct assault as Van and the others seemed to have been able to handle a lightsaber with some rudimentary skills. Wondering what the hell he could do between the most feared non-Imperial in the galaxy and a solid rock cliff Van decided to keep Fett talking to give Jodo more time.[/I] [b]Van:[/b] I will lay down my weapon if you tell me why the greatest bounty hunter in the galaxy is after an Imperial Lieutenant fresh out of Cardia. [b]Fett:[/b] I'll tell you this and this only, your of interest to the Emperor, now drop the lightsaber and kick it over to me, try anything and I'll put you in a Bacta tank for a week. [I]Van froze as he thought back to Jareth's warning about the Emperor , obviously he was interested in Van and Jedgar's skills but also because they were of Imperial training and supposed loyalty. Van kept his weapon pointed defensively and tried to think what he could do in the situation, if he dropped his lightsaber Fett would more than likely keep his word but if the Emperor wanted Van then he probably wouldn't risk killing him. Van dropped his weapon to his foot and kicked it up into the air, Fett waited expectantly though keeping his blaster facing directly at Van's chest. About half way through the air between them Van's felt a familiar force in the area and knew he was saved. Obi-Wan along with Jodo stepped out from the undergrowth, Fett turned to face Kenobi and made a sort of awkward stance as if struck by a sense of something..... fear maybe but Fett feared nobody or so the legends went. The Jedi drew forth his own lightsaber it's cool blue aura reminded him of the spectres of the fallen Jedi, whatever Fett faced now Van felt confident in his own odds. Jodo ran across to Van and checked to see if he was OK. Van replied he was fine and watched the two combatants' moves with great interest. Obi-wan held his lightsaber in a neutral stance, neither offensive nor defensive, he spoke out loud and Fett seemed to increase his guard.[/I] [b]Obi-Wan:[/b] Boba Fett, it's nice to see you again after all this time, I imagine that I don't look much different from when you saw me on Kamino with your father Jango. [b]Boba Fett:[/b] Humph, you Jedi have always been over confident and that was your one great weakness. I suppose you're here to teach these "children" how to defeat Vader, Palpatine and Revenant although I must say you've not had much success in the past. [I]Van knew exactly what Fett was trying to do to Obi-wan, he was trying to knock him off guard so that he could either strike of get out of there, Van only waited to see which assumption was correct.

Writing Price Check for a Duel (A Yu-Gi-Oh Comedy)
Gavin replied to Bandit Joeykuba's topic in Creative Works
[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Bandit Joeykuba [/i] [B]-Quickly! To the Marik-cave!- "That's what you think, [i]Yami[/i]!" Marik chuckled. "I made it my New Year's resolution to crush you!" "Um, Master Marik, you didn't make... any resolutions this year." Odion spoke up.[/B][/QUOTE] [size=1]Excellent, highly enjoyable and very true to a lot of the characters. I agree though that they Duel will be difficult to write but will more than likely have similarly well thought out jibes and puns.[/size] -
[quote][I]Originally posted by Stephanie Ayler[/I][b] This is very interesting though. After all the stupid things she's doing; sounds to me that someone's got the last laugh.[/b][/quote] [size=1]Yes and I think it was us, for being able to laugh at the moronic lengths entertainers will go to fulfil a vendetta against someone they have a grudge against, still I can see why he chose the Super Bowl to do it. I however agree with Boba on this though, I think that what both of them did was stupid and wrong because there were families around the US trying to enjoy the game. (I don't even know who won) And this stunt has given a lot of grief to a lot of parents around the US. As for Mr Timberplank's (yes that's a pun on his name not a spelling error) quote saying that he had nothing to do with it and that it was all Janet's idea I have a few words: [b]Grow up, get a pair of testicles and accept your punishment like a man and not like whining little child[/b]. I think that both of them are imbeciles for what they've done, even if Janet did it out of love for her brother but Plank does deserve a good swift kick in the *** for this and a heavy fine to give us another laugh.[/size] [quote][I]Originally posted by Superfreak07[/I][b] Plus isn't she supposed to be black? Her boob was white.[/b][/quote] [size=1]I don't know why I'm responding to this but I am so I might as well give an explanation. In a person of Janet's case there are two possible answers to this question: [b]1] The Scientific Explanation:[/b] People's skin pigment regardless of color changes due to the amount of sunlight it receives: ergo if your white and you go sunbathing you get a tan. It you go out sunbathing or working in an area with heavy sunlight exposure then your skin will darken, or tan (assuming your skin is light in color). However anywhere that's covered will stay its natural color, that is true across the board. Now in the case of people of a darker skin tone already, their skin just keeps it's natural darkened pigment to allow them to deal with the sunlight without burning. However area that are not exposed such as the palm and soles of the feet will lighten in color from lack of exposure to direct sunlight. In Janet's case it's evident she hasn't done a lot of topless sunbathing.... [b]2] The Jackson Explanation:[/b] [I](Note this is farcical and hopefully not really true or plausible.)[/I] She's gradually changing her skin color like Michael did only working from her feet up, it's only reached her breasts now but by next year her face will probably have a new detachable nose (sorry couldn't resist) and be white as a sheet. This is an secret attempt by Michael to re-launch the Jackson Five with a new fresh new look. (OK now before somebody attempts to kill me I'd like to point back to the note and repeat that this is merely a joke. I'm actually a fan of Michael Jackson's old music but not of the man's personal choices if the allegations made against him are true.)[/size]

[size=1]Sorry I haven's posted here in a while but I'll try and make it more often. I really have to get a hold of a copy of this book. [I]Lord Garin of Belegost stood clad in his finest mithril before one of the mightiest Dwarven armies ever beheld on the face of Beleriand, 6,000 Dwarves ready for war would be the equivalent of nearly double that in terms of the race of Men. Their mattocks and axes cried out for the blood of Goblin and Orc alike and it made no difference as to how many were slew as it wouldn't be enough until the last of the foul creatures lay dead before their feet. Garin held his hammer Fenrisbane high above his head and let forth a mighty roar before speaking.[/I] [b]Garin:[/b] My brothers, our lord Azgahal has commanded us to leave these mountains and to go and show our foe Morgoth the might of the Dwarven hammer. Our enemy has allied himself with the Goblins and the Orcs so therefore we shall strip him of his allies before we rend him asunder. We shall hunt him from the highest peaks and the lowest roots of the mountains, we shall hunt him across the plains of Beleriand.... AND WE WILL NEVER GIVE IN !!!! [I]A deafening cheer went up as the Dwarves began to march from Belegost the city under the Blue Mountains. Their troops would have defied even the mightiest of enemies without fear, Balrog, Dragon or even Morgoth himself, their hearts were hot as the white coals of the forge. Garin rode upon on an armoured pony with two of his commanders Bragir and Baldir, they spoke about enemy movements and where exactly the army should head first. Garin knew that the brothers had served King Azgahal nearly as long as he'd been alive and their cunning in battle was legendary. Their journey would be long, their forces would have to march across the plains of East Beleriand and come to the aid of their Elven brethren in the hidden city of Gondolin. After several hours Garin heard a mighty horn blow as they came close to the crossing at the river Celion/Gelion (Sorry Drix, I can't make out the name on the map), he knew that it's crude sound was that of an Orc Horn and ordered two scouts to ride ahead. Garin rode along with his two old commanders Bragir and Baldir to a small hilltop that would overlook the next plain, he drew back in a breath before glancing forwards... and he then let out a sign of relief. The force was that of Goblins rather than Uruks or Orcs and that would make the battle simpler by far, by the size of the troops they appeared to have less than a thousand and would fall easily before his army's mattocks. The two scouts reported back and told Garin that they had seen no other troops and it appeared that the Goblin force was on their own, possibly marching to link up with another army of Morgoth. Drawing Fenrisbane from behind his back he ordered the troops forward, he pulled a dwarven horn from his side and blew hard sounding the attack. There was less than a quarter of a mile between the Goblins and Dwarves, the Dwarves had the advantage of surprise and there was nowhere for the Goblins to run. Turning in horror at the sound of the Garin's horn the Goblin Commander let out a shriek as he saw the force of Dwarves coming down upon them. The Goblin's knew that they were out matched but they would fight the Dwarven because they hated them so....[/I] [b]Garin:[/b] [I]Baruk Khazad! Khazad ai-menu![/I] Axes of the Dwarves! The Dwarves are upon you![/size]

[QUOTE][I]Originally posted by CrH [/I] [B]And please, do not spout some religious mumbo-jumbo back at me. I am a fierce anti-Christian, and always will be. That does not mean I do not respect your religious beliefs by the way.[/b][/QUOTE] [size=1]Your very statement is faulty, if you are a fierce anti-Christian then you do not respect my beliefs by calling them [I]mumbo-jumbo[/I][/size] [QUOTE][I]Originally posted by CrH [/I] [B]Your beliefs are yours, and can be changed by no one. But if your God really saw it as a sin to love another man, why does his 'Great Life Plan' involve this?[/b][/QUOTE] [size=1]God gave man choice, my choices are my own. His Great Plan must revolve around man's choices.[/size] [QUOTE][I]Originally posted by CrH [/I] [B]A lot of the posts here of 'Christian' theme seem to be of a conservative nature, yet people at the Boards are mostly teens and young adults, the supposed 'open-minded' Generation. The major problem is, most Christians are following a set of moral standards two thousand years old. Come on people, forget the Bible for once and feel free to use your own mind to form an opinion on this matter.[/B][/QUOTE] [size=1]Yes and young adults have the right to be conservative if they wish. I am open minded and I do accept new things, but I'm also using my own mind to form these opinions I state.[/size] [QUOTE][I]Originally posted by Transtic Nerve [/I] [B]I don't ever recall objecting to your Roman Catholic belief. [/b][/quote] [size=1]You said that anyone who didn't conform to you ideals was a bigot, my faith as a Catholic does not conform with your ideals therefore when you called me a bigot you were objecting to my religious beliefs.[/size] [QUOTE][I]Originally posted by Transtic Nerve [/I] [B]It's also childish and saddening to object to something that doesn't effect the way you live. Regardless of religious beliefs, think of human rights for once instead of blinding yourself with your so-called faith in God. Maybe you should look at now and not 2,000 years ago...[/b][/quote] [size=1]Yes it will affect the way that I live because homosexuals in other countries (Ireland included) will begin to ask for similar rights to bastardise marriage to fit an alternate lifestyle. Where exactly am I objecting to Human Rights, I am merely stating my disagreement to this and am in no way looking to have people stripped of rights. I am looking at now because 2,000 years ago homosexuals would have been executed for being the way they were (that's a fact not my fiction).[/size] [QUOTE][I]Originally posted by Transtic Nerve [/I] [B]That's nice, I hope he tells all of you to jump off a bridge, it'd be interesting to see how many of you actually do it. You act like he's God.... that's a damn shame.[/b][/quote] [size=1]If he did then I would because it would only prove my devotion to God. The Pope is God's elected representative on Earth beginning from the Apostle Peter and then Paul. He is the closest thing to God on Earth.[/size]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Transtic Nerve [/i] [B]I didn't bring up religion for a reason, and I'd rather stay away from it.[/quote][/b] [size=1]Why not TN? You went off and called me a bigot because I object to this on a religious basis as well as a moral one. I mean just because I follow a set of ideals that's been handed down for 2,000 years that says that the Holy Roman Catholic Church objects to your ideas that makes me a bigot.[/size] [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Transtic Nerve [/i][b] A bigot is a set word. It has a meaning, a set meaning. Anyone who is intolerant of those who differ is a bigot. It says it right there in dictionary[/b][/quote] [size=1]But does that not make you also a bigot to object to my religious views as a Roman Catholic.[/size] [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Transtic Nerve [/i][b] Think I care? When it come to STUPID ideas, there's nothing more I can do but completely insult your lack of intelligence.[/b][/quote] [size=1]That's both childish and saddening to come from a Moderator. You should care since your meant to act in a proper manner on these boards.[/size] [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Transtic Nerve [/i][b] **** the Pope. If the Pope asked you to jump off a bridge.[/b][/quote] [size=1]I would, and I would advise you against insulting the Pope or I think you may find yourself in a lot of hot water. I said that I didn't object to people personal freedom as long as it doesn't conflict with my religious views and I say that again since the core of Catholicism is peace and love for your fellow man. [b]I have asked James to close this thread to avoid further arguments.[/b][/size]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Warlock [/i] [B]Oh, c'mon, isn't it obvious? Her mechanical boobs overheated and their protective casing detached to supply rapid cooling - thus preventing a meltdown. ^_^[/B][/QUOTE] [size=1]Heh heh, back to your usual self then eh Warlock. I've only seen rerun clips of this since the it happened on the national News and to me anyway the whole thing looks like it was preplanned. I think the whole "Justin getting back at Britney" thing is plausable with Timberplank just trying to do some over-the-top stupidity to get a little more publicity. More than likely Janet did this stupid stunt to try and shy the cameras away from Janet's brother Michael and I think it just might have worked although it has put her in the same "nutcase" lot as her brother now.[/size]

[size=1]Excellent, I actually featured in that chapter although I'm not sure whether it was me or Jokopoko who was speaking to my dear friend Boba Fett I'd personally agree that the Jedi are much better than Bounty Hunters. I can't believe that I've missed this for so long even though you told me about it repeatedly Solo. The stories that have gone through this so far are a work of art, the nativity scene was brilliant as well as the attack of the "n00bs". I do hope that I'll be able to appear a little more in, but I guess so does everyone. This new chapter looks like it'll be brilliant with an Agent Smith clone attempting to destroy the boards and start his own n00b Order.[/size]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Xyandar [/i] [B]THEY NEED TO CHANGE THEIR STARTING! It is SO annoying. Whenever they start and I hear it I turn the channel until they are finished with it. It has been the same one for years and its so annoying![/B][/QUOTE] [size=1]Very true, the music has never changed and it is strating to get a bit dull and iritating. I mean they've changed their Pokémon twice already but never their music it just a pity as they could be a little cooler than they are now.[/size]

[size=1]Heh most of the one that I've picked are already down here by several other members but here goes: [b]1] Legend of Zelda Series:[/b] The Music this series has always been superb and set the mood for ever scene with great accuracy and distinction. I have the Windmill music from [i]The Ocarina of Time[/i] on my hard-drive and enjoy listening to it at any given interval. The music from the Wind Waker, even though some of it was taken from previous games it still had an excellent music score. [b]2] Star Wars:[/b] How this was over looked is beyond me, I mean the music scores from the Rogue Squadron as well at the Jedi Knight series are just suberb and are able to get you in the mood of the game and keep you in it. [b]3:] The Mario Series:[/b] More classic gaming with classic music, the theme that used to play at the start of most of the Mario has kept fresh and likable for as long as there have been Mario games to put the on. Well that's it for me.[/size]

[size=1]I only looked at this thread because I thought that Boba had gone nuts and was looking for some way to get banned and go down in flame and glory. It's a very good read Boba, highly humourous, the bit about the Dark Matter was good since I too posted in that thread. It just proves that fact that people who do their jobs well will pay for it in the end.[/size]

[size=1]South Park is one of the funniest American comedies I watch on TV even though it's only on once a week at about 12:30 A.M. it's still worth the wait to watch it. My favourite episode would be the one where the kids set up the club to stop Steven Speilberg and George Lucas from remaking all the old classics but it turns out to be crap anyway so they succeed and then it shows how the guys who made South Park would like to remake the first episode with all the Star Wars stuff in it. As for my favourite character it's definitely Cartman.[/size]

[size=1]I don't want to sound like a bigot because I truth I have nothing against homosexuals but this post will make it look that way. As some people know I am an Irish Roman Catholicm, now the Pope, the Holy Father in Rome has stated publically that he is opposed to homosexual marriage and as the fact is that he is infallible I have to agree with him. The term marriage has been around for many hundreds of years as being the union between a man and a woman because it is the only way in which new human life can be formed (yes I am aware that there are other less accepted ways). I am all for people rights but this thing conflicts with my faith and my faith always wins.[/size]

[size=1]OK good posts by Boba and Drix, let's see a few more from the others in this RPG. [I]Van sat up fully awake as the others lay asleep on their beds, he noticed that Jedgar was missing but assumed that he's just gone outside for a while, it was still quite late in the night and by standard Imperial time it would be only about 01:30. Van looked at Jodo and Thrukh and they at least seemed to be sleeping quite peacefully, he got up and pulled on his boots before venturing outside to see if he could find Jedgar. He looked around and there seemed to be no sign of him anywhere in the vicinity, Van wasn't worried, if Jedgar wanted to go for a walk then it was his parogative entirely. Van could hear the Jedi talking together in the largest hut not far from where he was standing, he decided to walk up to it and see if he could hear what they were talking about. He was only about a foot from an open window and peered inside to see if he could see anyone, standing and sitting in various positions were no less than about 30 Jedi altogether. Their species ranged from Human, Wookie, Chiss, Calamarian and several other species that Van had only ever seen on datapads. Van could see quite plainly that Obi-Wan was the only one among them who was alive, all the other appeared very much like Yoda, a kind of a blue silhouette, they ranged in species but a it was evident that more than a few were human. Van stayed listening for several minutes as he heard them discuss "the children" obviously that was a reference to the group of Van and the others. They then changed the topic to whether or not that they should be given lightsaber training quite so soon in their training as Jedi.[/I] [b]Jedi #1:[/b] It could be dangerous, some of them may fall to the Dark-Side influence, must we bring up the Skywalkers as a reference. [b]Obi-Wan:[/b] The Skywalkers are a different case entirely. Anakin was seduced by the Emperors words of impatience and power and Luke was well beyond the age where our teachings should have had the proper influence. [b]Jedi #2:[/b] Then what about these new student, they too are not long behind Luke Skywalker's age when he began his training, how can we be sure that they too will not turn. [b]Yoda:[/b] Of Syfo-Dias then, trained he did since early childhood in the clans and yet seduced he was, no guarantees are there in the training age, trust in the force and the person we must. [b]Jareth:[/b] Yoda is indeed correct, we cannot allow these petty arguments to destroy our order entirely, these children are our last hope and we cannot let our worries destroy their chances of saving the galaxy from the Sith. [I]General agreement muttered between the Jedi as they continued to talk, Van had heard enough and began to look around for something else of interest. The natives inhabited most of the other huts but there was only one that seemed empty Van peered into the doorway and say that it was some form of storage room. It contained quite a number of large crates that bore the insignia of the Old Republic, Van wondered what was in them and walked carefully forwards hoping that he wouldn't be heard. He lifted the top of one of the crates and saw that it contained processed food, finally thought Van something edible. He picked up one of the wrapped pieces of food and opened it, the smell was plain and bland as was the taste, but at that moment in time Van really didn't care. Taking a bite Van chewed it and then moved on to the next crate, it was more of the same stuff again. After checking about 7 different crates Van looked a bit despondent, there wasn't one thing of interest in the entire room. Looking around again Van's eyes stopped on a much smaller case than the other, it was only about 45cm in width and about 25 in length. Van wondered whether or not he should open it but soon his curiosity took hold, opening up the case his eyes widened, there lay 4 long silver cylinders that Van instantly recognised as being lightsabers. He took the one on the right and held it in his hand, it felt light, like and extension to himself. It was at that moment that Van heard what he knew was Jedgar's scream, he took the case under his arm and ran outside. There in the middle of the huts stood one of the most famous men in all the galaxy: Boba Fett, Van felt terrified at just the sight of his armour and knew that he was here for Jedgar and the others. Fett looked at Van and the case under his arm and after a few seconds he spoke.[/I] [b]Fett:[/b] Give yourself up and I won't hurt you..... [I]Van didn't know what to do and wondered whether or not to respond.....[/I][/size]

[size=1]Damn it Gav my lungs are in such pain from laughing , I mean this is comic genius of the highest degree, where do you think this stuff up in that noodle of yours. I'm very, very pleased with my character Mr Lynx (replacing Mr Gibbs) wielder of the sword Excaliber and goes nuts at the mention of bikini. And that he's managed to kill Governor James 1... 2... 3 times in the course of a single chapter (A quarter of his total deaths), let's see more of this fine chap in later chapters. I can't wait for the chapter where the pirates attack Noble Port and I am wondering who else will make cameo appearances in roles of the pirates. Brilliant work man, keep it coming.[/size]

[size=1]I was actually having a conversation with my brother about this going into town today. As an Irish person I have access to both British and American comedies thanks to BBC, Channel 4 and Sky. I have to say with complete honesty that older British ones are far, far better with much more varied forms of humour to them. Oh and although made by the BBC, Father Ted is actually an Irish comedy set on the west coast of Galway or Mayo [the Irish county not the dressing] and I have to say that it is one of the funniest ever written. I really did enjoy Father Ted for a number of reasons, firstly it's because of Father Jack Hackett, I mean never before has a comedy made a priest who's an alcoholic sex-crazed lunatic so funny. Secondly there's father Dougal McGuire, he's so stupid and innocent that you've just got to love him, I mean Father Ted tells him under no circumstances to mention Bishop Brenan's son and what does he say the second the Bishop enters the room "So, how's the son ?". My final reason for liking the show lies in the comedy that the stories used to come up with were thoroughly well thought and entertaining. I think that comedy lost one of it's most entertaining men when Dermot Morgan [Father Ted] died. Then there's Black Adder, I liked the first series of it somewhat but my favourite has always been the series where he serves the stupid Prince [I'm not sure which series that is]. I mean the stuff that used to happen to him then would have me in fits of laughter. One of the best was where he has to rewrite the fellow's dictionary but then when the person arrives Baldric just produces it for him to see and then burns it as the leave he and Blackadder leave the room. Fault Towers was another great British comedy, I mean the fits of anger that Basil would enter would just leave my lungs in agony from laughing when he had to get the duck from town and his car broke down and he beat it with the branch in anger. Allo, allo was also brilliant especially the two German Gestapo, the man and the woman. She'd always try and impress him so that he might return a gesture of affection and he would simply do the exact opposite like the line "I will go to my house and you will go to your house". I think that older comedy from Britain is some of the finest in the world and can't be ripped off by the Simpson's for a one-off episode.[/size]
