Anybody, that continues to post suggesting to buy Amiga Forever and rip the ADFs as a way get disks for the "real" Amiga's will from now on be reported for their PIRATE activities!


Report away numptie, I bought The Premium Edition of Amiga Forever and the only things on it that were of any use to me were the DVD videos... :(

Amiga Forever is totally useless for those of us who still use real Amiga hardware as the stuff on it is not the proper and untouched original Workbench disks... ;)

So there is nothing to rip from it, so what on earth are you going to report... :confused:

It's very obvious now that Cloanto is more important on this site than it's members, which is both a shame and damn disgrace... :(

Amazing what a few free copies of Amiga Forever can buy you these days... (almost as bad as Coke Zero)... :madashell:

We don't personally drink it and it's not Christmas but try this instead of Coke Zero.

DiscreetFX is the one paying for the Amiga Forever contest.


Well if that was meant to be funny then I aint laughing (don't get it)

So DiscreetFX is paying for this compo in order to support Cloanto, well it's your money and your entitled to do with it as you wish... :)

But why does Cloanto have the rights here to complain about certain things and force thread to be shut down and no explanation is given as to why certain links that they don't like have to be removed, or the decency to say why the thread has been closed or what was wrong with the link in the first place... :confused:

It's the same old story one rule for them another rule for us, reckon I'll just have to add Cloanto to me hit list along with CUSA & Mickey Mouse... ;)

@Franko

The answer can be found by rubbing a bottle not can of Pepsi Max. Drink or dump out then read the inner bottom.

:)


Right there are a few possibilities here...

Ether...

I've lost me sense of humour...

I've forgotten to take me meds...

Me meds aint working anymore...

You've nicked me meds and are using them yourself...

I'm still asleep...

I don't really exist (and this is all an illusion)...

A Squirrel ate me brain...

Im really Napoleon (I used to be Julius Caesar)...

My dogs died (again)...

Auld Mrs Johnstone from across the road has whacked me round the head too many times...

My old mans a dustman...

Or you've gone friggin mental... :)

(need to go and poke one of me eyesies out to see if I'm really here...) :crazy:

Ahh... well if you had it shipped all the way from the UK then you did indeed get it at a fair price... :)

Odd how when you compare eBay prices in the UK and US that big box Amigas like the A4000 go at half the price in the US than compared to the UK, and A600s and A1200 are almost double the price in the US than in the UK... :)

It's round up, round down at the register.  $2.99 would appear as $3.00 at the register, as would $3.01...

Electronically the cents are kept.


Wow... good job I've never been to OZ as I would go mental at such ludicrous behaviour (gawd it's almost as absurd as the Workbench copyright crap)... :crazy:

Why oh why oh why... bother to put a price on some thing (ie: $2.99) when you cant even pay that price... Strewth mate what's the phone number of your Prime Minister I think I feel a new mission coming on... ;)

That's how all Gas is sold in the U.S.  $3.989 per gallon for example. People don't even notice any more because they sort of hide that last nine and make it a little smaller on the signs.  But if you go buy a 1 gallon of gas I wonder what they charge you?  $3.98 and 9/10 of a penny?  Hold on sir let me get my metal cutters out shave some of this penny off!

It's the same here with petrol prices but as I don't drive then it doesn't bother me. Only if I'm in a car and the driver pulls in to the garage to fill it up, I then attract the attention of the cashier and point at the prices and make the sign for that's nuts at him or her (generally I get the sign back for f-off in reply)... :)

PS:while we're on the subject why do you call it "gas" in the USA, its a liquid, never could get me head round that one... :)

Must be why, when I look in the mirror there's no-one there... :)

LOL! Franko - Good one - Of course its the colloquial for gasoline.

I never understood, why Europeans called Soccer - Football - Oh, wait - never mind. LOL! 8^D


Nope too late you've said it (and I don't even like football either) but... :)

Football is the original and only proper name for the game (generally you use your feet to kick the ball)... :)  

Soccer is a made up word by you lot over the pond cos you tried to nick our term Football to use in you're Rugby game you call American Football, which is daft as you use your hand in that silly big girls blouse of a game and hardly use you're feet, plus you play it using a Rugby ball just to confuse maters further... ;)

The worlds biggest and most viewed sporting event is called "The Football World Cup" not "The Soccer World Cup"... ;)

Definition for fifa:
The Fédération Internationale de Football Association (International Federation of Association Football), commonly known by its acronym, FIFA (usual ), is the international governing body of association football.


It's like Tap but you lot call it Faucet, why do you murder the English langauge, there's a thought why has it got to be called English ruddy southerners worse than you lot over the pond... :D

Because it is gas, you just see it as a liquid, it has a flash point below zero. If you remove it from the container it becomes gas as you point out, and very dangerous too.:confused:

It's only dangerous when you pour it over someone and tease them with a match... :)

PS:It's still a liquid though "Liquid Petroleum"... ;)

PPS: So that makes water a gas too as it will evaporate when exposed to the air... ;)

@ Desiv

Well as it was written by Sensible (who weren't actually) I've never understood that either... :)

I did write to them many years ago pointing this out to them but as usual I never received a reply... :(

Buy a ticket to an old firm game if you ever visit Glasgow and in the crowd try and utter the words "I like this game of soccer you chaps play" and see if you can get past uttering the letters S & O in soccer before you get a bridie stuffed up your rear end... these Football fans can be a wee bit tetchie on that subject I'm afraid... ;)

Ah no.

See the section: "Etymology"

The term soccer originated in England, first appearing in the 1880s as an Oxford "-er" abbreviation of the word "association".

Ok, so it was the English who first came up with the term "Soccer" (trust them to f it up...) :rolleyes:

Don't see how you can abbreviate the word "Association" into "Soccer"... (Ruddy English, can't even get their own language right...) :rolleyes:

but you missed my point entirely, it's not called "Soccer" by any of the governing bodies and not used by 99% of the fans... :)

FIFA =

The Laws of the Game were originally codified in England by the Football Association in 1863, and have changed significantly since that time. Association football is governed internationally by FIFA, which organises the FIFA World Cup every four years
