@At Aldo : I did say that it shouldn't be number 1 story. NI is more important but it's an ongoing situation. If it had been the first night of trouble I couldn't excuse it at all.

Presumably you understand why a Scot would get pissed off at the British news spending 10+ minutes covering (gloating over) a 'great victory for the nation', though?

Of course. No idea why they spent that long on it up north. You have your own feed after all.

And now it's dragonfly reunion in my bedroom;

That looks more like a mosquito than a dragonfly.

Mosquitos aren't usually as big as your hand... Also dragonflys are the worst pilots ever... Whereas Mosquitos have Tech2 microwarpdrives and neutron blasters, these things only have basic afterburners and poor agility.

I've seen some really large mosquitos in my time... some the size of a silver dolar coin...

And they, too, are clumsy..

...

I eat flies.

That's not a dragonfly. That's a crane fly or daddy long legs as we call them in the UK (In typical fashion the Yanks give the exact same name to something different).

Dragonfly's are these things and they're the undisputed masters of the air when it comes to the insect kingdom.

Typo. Yeah, It's just my mother always calls them dragonflies, and well, after a while it kinda erases the facts and you just start saying the same thing. But Dragonfly roles off the tongue better than a mouthful such as "daddy long legs" and crane fly just doesn't sound very cool. Oh look a cranefly. Meh.

Indeed, a daddy long legs here is the little spiders with the legs that that mosquito thing has.

They are also the most poisonous spiders in the world, but are just too blunt to bite into human skin.

Now... is that a fact, or is it a rumour? No one seems to be certain...

Civie afterburners?



I heard someone say once in the W0R chat - "WTF is he doing using T1 on that thing?! Noobs dont use T1, they use basic and civilian!"

I saw a spider go scuttling past my leg, like, an hour ago and I swear it was as big as my fist.

Scared the crap outta me. And why the hell do spiders leg it straight at you if they're 'sposed to be so scared huh ?

Indeed.

I have a little bit of arachnidphobia... <.< >.>

We have heaps of Daddy Long Legs at our place. But I think I'd prefer them and the occasional huntsmen spider over the damned redbacks.

And yeah, I heard that daddy long legs have been known to be able to bite the inside of a childs mouth where its still soft. Quite poisenous indeed.
