Odd you should mention that, but I fancy having a go at writing one of them flash games and I thought a zombie game would be fun.

Record girly in moments of passion for various sound effects.

The engineer's song? Gorillas? There we are! who said threaded was not really a genius? No zombies tho. A website is not quite a real website without zombies.

The Call

Who's for the trench –
Are you, my laddie?
Who'll follow French –
Will you, my laddie?
Who's fretting to begin,
Who's going out to win?
And who wants to save his skin –
Do you, my laddie?

Who's for the khaki suit –
Are you, my laddie?
Who longs to charge and shoot –
Do you, my laddie?
Who's keen on getting fit,
Who means to show his grit,
And who'd rather wait a bit –
Would you, my laddie?

Who'll earn the Empire's thanks –
Will you, my laddie?
Who'll swell the victor's ranks –
Will you, my laddie?
When that procession comes,
Banners and rolling drums –
Who'll stand and bite his thumbs –
Will you, my laddie?

AlfredJPruffock: Are you "tired and emotional", there appears more than the normal spelling mistakes...

And: "Es tu"... hmm

[AlfredJPruffock]

Es tu Francko ?

I shall say nothing then of the time I fell off my seat whilst pontificating with you in the heart of the glory which was called Rome , not to mention the night with the girls from Senegal and the car journey through the empty strrets of Rome in the morning past the Vatican on the way back to my ancient dwelling in Trastevere.

Know now it is indeed I AJP, for it is written

Alf will die
Alf will rise
Alf will come again

This guy is nothing but AjP. From the style I would say it's Sandy.

[Rebecca Loos]

have you still got shares in major oil companies then AJP? Looks like the current high price of oil is not enough to get the share price very high - cockups agogo for Shell, BP, Exxon etc...... not good.

It's obviously an imposter becuase there is a thread about the Iraq war as we speak. The real Alfy would have been all over it ... frothing at the mouth'n'all!

Et tu doubting ALM?

Rest assured indeed it is I, AJP.

As you know I have spoke previously at great lengths of the folly of the Iraq confict, nothing reamains to be said on that issue.

[ALM]

Me thinks it's an imposter. Poetry is too good to be our Alf.

This board has been missing coherent liberal tree hugging atheist views.

Just because everyone disagree with your naive views Chico, it doesn't make them athiests.

Welcome Back My Friends to the Show that never Ends

I returned here
Not to Die
But to be Reborn

Away from this Wasteland
So Battered and Torn

[Francko]

Chico, we don't have to show off how religious we are. That's perhaps the only difference. But that doesn't mean we are atheists. And that doesn't make you more religious either.

[Chico]

Alfred welcome back my friend. This board has been missing coherent liberal tree hugging atheist views. Where have you been?
