Yiu might as well have been posting in Greek for all I understood there.

In that case, here's my last post, Google translated into Greek:

I can't think of an analogous situation in any sport we'd both know, so I'll just go with something we all understand, the glorious game of Civilization: It would be like if one civ was down to one city, but also one turn from winning by, let's say, space ship. Civ #2 has some soldiers outside that city and is trying to take it so they can stop Civ #1 from winning and win by conquest. After a few battles, it all comes down to Civ #2's final Tank against Civ #1's final Spearman. The Spearman wins, Civ#2 has no units left to attack with, Civ #1 survives the turn and launches the spaceship and wins (or their already launched space ship gets to Alpha Centauri and they win, depending on how SS victory works in that particular civ game)

Your ‘translations’ are hilarious, Mr. orn.

Rave: Finally finished my overhaul of all the unit stats in te Elder Scrolls: Total War mod. Took a while but the game should be noticeably better now.

Man City is playing against Arsenal in the last match of the season. City holds a 2 point lead at the top of the table over Arsenal. In the 92nd minute of the match, with the score tied 1-1 Özil kicks a beautiful ball ahead to Giroud and miraculously no offside flags go up. It's Giroud alone in the box with just the keeper to beat. He feigns right, totally fools the keeper, completely open net all he has to do is tap the ball into the net and win the premiership. He hits the ball off the crossbar, the ref calls time and Man City end up winning the title, even though by all accounts they shouldn't have.

that was a good explanation of super bowl 49.

do the same explanation, except the scene is the second leg of a champion league quarterfinal match, with a team down by away goals missing a goal to win on aggregate.

 

[Arakhor]

Right. I don't follow football either, but at least I understand more of the basic concepts.

 

[bhavv]

Not sure if a rave or a rant ...

But I stayed up till 8 am playing SMAC.

Google Maps is great for taking a trip down memory lanes. Nice to see things from your childhood still being there 10-15 years later.

 

[Takhisis]

Happy goldfish bowl to you too, Mr. SS-18 ICBM!

Actually, that was better than i expected. Although still had some ludicrous errors "αισθάνεται κακός άνθρωπος" means "he is feeling that he is a bad person" (feelsbadman)

"Ιερά χάλια" (word for word, but sounds very dumb in greek due to no such idiom being there). Btw, χάλια means 'horrible(s)' (noun, generic).

Om nom nom nom nom nom:

A weeks worth of luxury meals for £20!

I have a problem though ... the bread is BBE tomorrow and it needs to last for the oven dinners (which normally cost £4 each). Hopefully it will stay fresh enough in the fridge.

Also it seems that one pot of rice was enough for two curries, but I had to buy two for the offer. Next time I shall buy one pot of rice and some samosas. I had to eat half a tub on its own to finish it off.

 

[Civ'ed]

that just ain't good for your teeth, man.

 

[SS-18 ICBM]

NASA's getting more funding, NIH is getting more funding...good job America.

Next time I shall buy one pot of rice.

It's rice, just cook it.

 

[bhavv]

But its normally £3.29 per curry, so you need to buy two sides as well to get two for £6.

I just discovered a repository of Discworld .pdfs for my Kindle! i am so happy

 

[bhavv]

Well yesterday I munched through one chicken curry and rice tub, 2 cupcakes and 3 pecan plaits!

I had to strongly resist eating more before going to bed.

I think I'll have the other curry with some of the bread tomorrow, I didn't even want the rice but needed to get it otherwise it would have cost more for just the curries. Stupid offers.

Also knowledge is power:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiger_bread

Now I know what that is and that it originates from the Netherlands.

So not only your teeth but also your waistline will suffer.
