Friday 2010-10-29 Dev. update and Discussion

I'm not russian, so this hyieroglyphic stuff doesn't help me out.

I actually meant german or english gamesites giving news about Igromir 2010, but it seems to be nowhere as famous as Gamescom.

You like numbers?

The same applies to you. Otherwise you would know what crap comes out when translating russian into another language.

Much the same as other announcements, (but they missed out the Bf 109 from the list!), no date mentioned.

However, other sources, not necessarily reliable, have suggested 25 Feb 2011!

Tally Ho Chaps !





Hope Battle Of Britain includes the following speech pack-

Monty Python's Banter sketch-

(Scene: a wartime RAF station)

Jones: Morning, Squadron Leader.

Idle: What-ho, Squiffy.

Jones: How was it?

Idle: Top-hole. Bally Jerry, pranged his kite right in the how's-your-father;
hairy blighter, dicky-birded, feathered back on his sammy, took a waspy,
flipped over on his Betty Harpers and caught his can in the Bertie.

Jones: Er, I'm afraid I don't quite follow you, Squadron Leader.

Idle: It's perfectly ordinary banter, Squiffy. Bally Jerry, pranged his kite
right in the how's-your-father; hairy blighter, dicky-birded, feathered
back on his sammy, took a waspy, flipped over on his Betty Harpers and
caught his can in the Bertie.

Jones: No, I'm just not understanding banter at all well today. Give us it
slower.

Idle: Banter's not the same if you say it slower, Squiffy.

Jones: Hold on then -- Wingco! -- just bend an ear to the Squadron Leader's banter for a sec, would you?

Chapman: Can do.

Jones: Jolly good. Fire away.

Idle: Bally Jerry... (he goes through it all again)

Chapman: No, I don't understand that banter at all.

Idle: Something up with my banter, chaps?

GRAMS: AIR RAID SIRENS
(Enter Palin, out of breath)

Palin: Bunch of monkeys on the ceiling, sir! Grab your egg-and-fours and
let's get the bacon delivered!

Chapman (to Idle): Do *you* understand that?

Idle: No -- I didn't get a word of it.

Chapman: Sorry, old man, we don't understand your banter.

Palin: You know -- bally tenpenny ones dropping in the custard!
(no reaction)

Palin: Um -- Charlie choppers chucking a handful!

Chapman: No no -- sorry.

Jones: Say it slower, old chap.

Palin: Slower *banter*, sir?

Chapman: Ra-ther.

Palin: Um -- sausage squad up the blue end?

Idle: No, still don't get it.

Palin: Um -- cabbage crates coming over the briny?

The others: No, no.

You want to pi** off one of the only people here who knows anything about BoB?

Sorry SaQSoN, on behalf of the community.

It should read:

'..from Southampton to Dunkirk..'

Agree, aware it should be Dunkirk, translation copied verbatum grammatical and spelling errors included. I have a rule which is never to change someone else's written word unless it's going out over my signature.
With hindsight perhaps I should have added (sic) after "Dankerka"

[AndyJWest]

Actually, the French spell it 'Dunkerque'. Us Brits can't get it right either...
