Have you tried to disconnect/reconnect? Might help. This site as far as I'm concerned is fine. What about other sites, not Skiffy, that always seems to lag.

Must be your ISP. I'm on a BT Business connection, which is usually OK in the evenings.

I seem to be refreshing normally. Must be all those Bitorrent files playing havoc with your OS registry

Battle Field 1942, classic online 1stP shoot em'. On-line paintball, in tanks, aeroplanes, ships, subs, jeeps, halftracks, AA, sniping, infantry assault. All in the same game, absolute classic.
I love sudden strike, but have never played on-line. I prefer Wester/Eastern front turn based wargames.
Rome Total War, well it's been 2 years in waiting, after a TV programme delaying it's launch, but all the better for it. Civilisation with an intelligent historical 3D POV regiment battle engine. HIGHLY RECOMENDED. ;D

I played D&D about 20 odd years ago. This is the first time I've looked at any d20 system, it looks almost identicle to what I remember. I'd probably lurk for a while to see how it all works, but I'm baffled to how you'll roll a dice on-line. Also, how does everything stay together, if people aren't on-line when a decission is made? Do you have an example link to a good system running? Could be a laugh.

I'm interested, but haven't got a clue how this works, so I'll see what others have to say before I chip in.

I see female captains have been allowed to command submarines now. ;D
What's the hull made out of, looks like some sort of fibre glass?

Must be Gerry Anderson, probably Thunderbirds or Space1999. May even have been some of those Japanese dubbed Godzilla movies. Can't really remember what came first.

Excellent stuff, thanks for sharing. Hope it all falls right.
2005 could be a big year for both of us, I've got a big meeting with a company doing intro stings on major networks in the UK at the end of this month. It'd be a major coup if I get it. Fingers crossed hey.

Prawn and Advocado Spaghetti
Boil spaghetti, tip into serving dish. Rinse frozen prawns in a bowl, until defrosted, add to dish. Chop up advocado into cubes, finely chop up a glove of garlic, and quarter some cherry tomatoes. Add all this into the dish. Tear up some fresh basil, sprinkle in. Turn the ingredients around until uniformly mixed. Then drizzle some virgin olive oil over the top, and add the juice of half a lemon.
This was taught me by an Italian girlfriend, before, I thought pasta had to have a chease or tomatoe sauce.
Trust me, this one is fantastic. Use chopped crispy bacon instead of prawns, as an allternative.
And I wonder where this bear gut came from ;D

Chorizo and Beef Stew.
There are no measures to this one, do it to taste.
Brown off some stewing beef, add a chopped onion, then two table spoons of paprika. Then add some chopped Chorizo (spanish sausage), beef stock (in the tubs) and a tin of chopped tomatoes. Add some water to give a soup consistency, but don't dilute the flavour too much, then add quartered large potatoes. Season. Simmer for 40 mins.
Serve out in bowls with two quaters per portion, then add a dolup of soured cream.
Magic!
