It's all yours Sir. And call me Lou, my full forum moniker sounds far too formal.

Oh, and nearly forgot - new lads buy the drinks!

From PENGUIN books to PENGUIN beer in a minute, eyh?

Did I hear something like "new guy buys the drinks"?
In that case, I'll have a virtual Warsteiner (must be ages ago,
since I had a good virtual German Pilsener).

You mean like this little rascal, "Mr. Penguin" ? biggrin

One of my younger two sons was about 8 or nine years old when that came out. He said that creepy Penguin scarred him for life! I think his name was "Feathers McGraw" but I could be wrong. I should forward your picture to him, it still creeps him out!

Back to your regularly scheduled thread, now in progress.

Virtual drinks from my local brewery!



Although maxpeck your suggestion sounds quite good, I need to figure out how to get a bottle of that!
Thanks Lou!

Unfortunately it is not made any more - was a limited edition thing

Real shame - I think Tactical Nuclear Penguin is an awesome name for a beer

And 32% ABV eek

Thanks guys! I have it running quite well now. It was a combination of initially bad graphics settings, and needing to change the tracking settings in opentrack to clean up an initially noisy system. I'm now happily flying training flights in preparation to deploy to the front!

and maxpeck, that is a shame!

That name sounds familiar to me.
Geeze, we never know how strong an impact some stuff may have on kids at that age, do we?
I was 12 or 13, when I saw a bit of James whales' "Frankenstein" (what a great mask on Boris Karloff!),
and I only saw the final bit where the monster tries to escape, and then gets trapped in the burning mill.
Couldn't even see the end title cause my ma came in, saw what I was watching, and switched it off.
But this mask was engraved into my brain now - it haunted me for many years, until the film was repeated
several years later, and I could see the whole story.
