A sad day

[nicholas]

Ahh, Nationalism: Teaches you to be proud of sh1t you didn't do and hate people you've never met.

Keeping the stupid occupied since time immemorial.....

@nicholas

Focusing on past innovations and good things your forefathers have done for the community and nation should motivate us to keep pushing ahead with new innovations and to make the world a better place. Just as Wilberforce fought in Parliament to abolish slavery so we today face the same uphill battle to get abortion banned in present day Parliament. Where will the next engineering advancement come? Will we invent useful AI, cheap fuel or the ability to unplug ourselves from the internet for more than 10 minutes? :-)

Your forefathers or the forefathers of people that you happen to be born on the same island as?

@nicholas

Have you got any sense of community or belonging or being part of something bigger than just you and your nuclear family. People who live in Britain are all British and can all be proud of British achievements. If you can't see that I feel sorry for you.

I'll take that as a no then and assume that you haven't achieved anything to be proud of so feel the need to attach yourself to the individual achievements of others in order to feel better about your own lack of achievements.

I consider myself English not British BTW.

[nicholas]

WTF is going on here?

The great British tradition of bantering.

[nicholas]

@nicholas

A conflicted Pakistani/Englishman by the look of your logo. Again I'm sad you can't rejoice in the success of the English football team (not that success has come their way in over half a century:-)) or the Olympic team or even the fact that we (the United Kingdom) reclaimed our sovereignty from an unelected quango called the European Commission.

No idea where you've got Pakistani from but then again to a Little Englander "all Muslims are Pakis" eh?

I'll celebrate when we get rid of our unelected Prime Minister for sure and do a double celebration if/when we get rid of that benefit scrounging family that lord it over us too.

What's going on here is proof many so-called Amigan's are two plums short of a pie.

British self-deprecating humour and sarcasm (otherwise known as bantering or "piss taking") is a common shared trait of the four countries that make up this island nation (and most of the former colonies barring the USA tbh).

We take the piss out of each other constantly but Johnny Foreigner doesn't often get it.

[nicholas]

Sorry it's an Iranian flag isn't it? My bad. I suppose the Engli-stan bit threw me off and I thought of Paki-stan. Maybe saying your from Eran (England / Iran) would be more accurate? ;-)

Yes it's an Iranian flag, but I'm not Iranian nor are my parents. I'm as English as you or anyone else on this island of mongrels. Englistan is just the Farsi word for "Land of the Angles". Play on words.

And also we are not voting for a Prime Minister in the General Election (we aren't American as already discussed) we are voting for an MP to represent us in Parliament. I don't think Theresa May or Jeremy Corbyn are fit to be our Prime Minister and I question Theresa May's reasons for calling it early. It won't change my voting pattern however as I have a good MP who has done a good job and has also stood up for marriage being between a man and woman in spite of the rabid liberal media trying to outlaw such opinions. If she can stand against peer pressure and stick to some moral convictions she's the MP my area needs irrespective of her party allegiance.

See now, my local mp is a complete arse and I can't stand him however due to our crappy implementation of pseudo-democracy I have to put a cross next to his name for any chance of Mr Corbyn becoming Prime Minister. I don't agree with half of his liberal policies but he's the best of a bad bunch by far.

I already have a pre-written letter i shall be sending to my local MP informing him that I didn't vote FOR him despite crossing the box next to his name come election day lol

@Mods

Can you split this off into a CH thread please? Ta!

[nicholas]

What's funniest from this side of the Pond is that with all of the anti-hurt-my-feelings laws we read about coming from over there (yeah, we have our share of stupidity, too) one gets the idea that ya'll are a bunch of stuck-up tw@ts.  So watching this thread unfold has been refreshing.

Haha, you think we are being stuck up? We are behaving extremely low class, quite the opposite lol (Stuck up means the same over there as over here I guess yeah?)

It's very few and far between when a USAian understands us but some of y'all do. @Methusalus, Iggy, where are you dudes?

To all those complaining, do you forget the glory days of this forum under Wayne when pretty much every thread was full of light hearted banter like this? It's only recently this place has gotten so aspie-like.

[nicholas]

I never thought it would be me saying this first but BRING BACK FRANKO!

Plenty of nuts for his squirrels here lol

Trying to get back on topic, that article linked makes sense.  Trevor has been very vocal that they are looking to sell the hardware at what they consider "cost" or very close to it, and hope to make profit through software (AMIstore, etc.).  This business model makes it difficult to have a reseller channel - you can't expect a reseller to not expect some kind of margin for something you want them to sell and support.  I believe A-Eon expects resellers to tack on profit by selling accessories, assembling complete systems, etc., but I'm not sure what the potential is there.

What I don't understand is how this wasn't clear to begin with.  Was AOTL expecting something different?  I'd be interested in hearing their side of things.  

The reality, though, is if they are committed to the market they need to work within the structure that's in place.  Yes, it's pretty crappy that AmigaKit and A-Eon are basically one and the same, but they can't change that.

If the article is correct, then I assume it's more than just the pricing of the boards that has caused Aaron to make this decision.

It usually comes out in the wash, so we just have to wait until someone spills the beans.

Whilst I was not just refereeing to EU part , your assertion of the ethnicity of someone else we will ignore for now.
 
 Being in Europe was not just about what we get out of it, that is a very Tory attitude.  Us being in Europe was benefit to lots of outer countries.  But everybody is too busy caring about imaginary borders on pieces of paper to care about their fellow man

Spot on!

Plus I'm sure Bozzer will be just as ecstaticly happy when Scotland, Wales, and Ulster get their independence from a govt they didn't elect running their affairs from a foreign country (England) that merely gives them back their own money whilst telling them what to spend it on.

The UK is "better together"? Sounds like a load of collectivist pinko rubbish eh?

[nicholas]

Who was the other lunatic who  did that cover of only amiga makes it possible and ripped loads of people off and was a dick

Doom Master lol

I wonder what retro community he's scamming these days?

@Nicholas

It's not a case of whether British born Muslims are British our not it's whether the Muslim communities take the Hadith's teachings on jihad seriously or not. The whole dodging the issue especially in the media and presumably in the mosques themselves is not going to solve the issue. It's not a race issue it's a doctrine issue.

Going back to JJ's original comment; can a Christian freely celebrate Christmas in Saudi Arabia? Food for thought ;-)

No they cannot. So stop %&$#?@!%&$#?@!%&$#?@!%&$#?@!ing funding those %&$#?@!%&$#?@!%&$#?@!%&$#?@!s!

First swear word starts with F and the second with C.

It's clear you aren't an educated man, so I'm going to help you.

@nicholas

Maybe we've built a self destruct back door in the firmware code of all the Typhoon jets we sell them in case things go south ;-)

It is strange admittedly our trade / defense relationship with them. It's kind of an enemy of your enemy is your friend kind of deal. And it sounds like a proxy war against Iran in Yeman I'm sad to say.

Cor' this is good stuff! I'll have to watch a few episodes of Homeland after this! ;-)

The first word of the Qur'an to be revealed was "Iqra"; Read.

Read that book. If you don't have the money for it at the moment PM me your address and I'll buy it for you.

PS: It's not a proxy war against Iran in Yemen, it's the genocide of Shi'as that these satanic bastards have been engaging in for the last 300 years with the full funding and support of the British establishment.

The same goes for Syria and Iraq, but in those places they can engage in Christian genocide too so it's a double win for them.

Read the book and then we can discuss this on more equal terms.
