ddickinson: Good evening, everyone!

I hope you are all doing well and have had a nice evening? I delivered an adorable baby cow earlier - you do not want to know where my hands have been today. :-)

I see the site is loading terribly slow tonight. Did I miss anything fun?

Soccorro: are you assuming it would have been a british vctory if the british troops mainly consisted of "actual british" soldiers?
avatar
ddickinson: Now, now, that is why I was a bit reluctant to share such things, as people always jump to the wrong conclusions. At no point did I say that it could have altered the outcome of the battle, I was just mentioning that the British in that part of the world were not as well equipped or manned as elsewhere.

avatar
GhostwriterDoF: Was it the battle of Sambre or Mons?
avatar
ddickinson: I am not sure, to be honest. If I get the time I will see if I can dig up some of the information I read in one of my books.

HypersomniacLive: Desktop users are unhappy with the state of the site, mobile users are also unhappy with the state of the site - have to wonder what users does GOG have in mind when they make changes...
avatar
ddickinson: It's possible that the mobile users are enjoying the new site, I am not quite the average customer, so just because I do not like it does not mean others won't, they might love it.

moonshineshadow: *big hug* Late reply... but yeah, seems like I need to decide this weekend what to do with all this friend and wishlist stuff...
And also *thank you hug for not gifting* I am not sure yet, I am really interested in the game and it does not really have a nice discount.
avatar
ddickinson: *big return hug*

One solution could be to keep a text based wishlist on the GOGwiki. You could just manually list the games you like (and keep your notes). That way we would all still be able to see, and you would not have to worry about all this new wishlist stuff?
Sorry, i got carried away. Apparently there is some boundary to that country after all :/ My Great Grandfather fought there.

moonshineshadow: Never heard of it. I need to remember it (in four weeks) when I am back home to check it out :D

EndreWhiteMane: Had it for a few years now and really like it.
You can clip web pages, take notes, draw pics, whatever.

Sounds useful *thank you hug*

The only thing you missed are more bugs ;-)

I'll try to decide what to do about the wishlist this weekend. And yeah doing everything manually sure would be possible... but impractical :P

Congrats on the baby cow.You work on a dairy farm,right?
Hello! *return hug*

Not exclusively a dairy farm, but we do some dairy farming.

How are you, have you had a nice day off work?

No need to be sorry. What boundary and what country are you referring to?

Have you had a nice day?

I would rather keep missing the bugs, but I have had quite a few so far tonight already. :-)

It would be a little impractical, but possible, especially as your wishlist was not that big.

How are you tonight, how did work go, did you complete your work so that you won't need to do it next week?

I did not manage to finish the reports :-( So I either need to do that this weekend or next week during the conference. Both is annoying :D

My reply was not meant to be serious, just a little playful. So please do not worry about it.

That's a shame. I guess this is what happens when you spend your days day dreaming about men in mankinis. :-)

Do you have anything nice planned for your weekend?

*sigh* I never said something like this. I only commented after your post about skimpy outfits, that women in skimpy outfits are boring :P

No special plans for the weekend. And I just wanted to ask how about you, but I remember that I already asked you that and that you are going to the children hospital again :D

I know, I was only joking. *big hug*

I hope you are able to have a nice relaxing weekend before your busy week next week.

*big return hug* Me too. If you see a *sigh*, don't take it serious ;-)
I have to say, while men in skimpy outfits sure are nice, this mankini thing is somewhat strange.

Don't worry, I didn't take it serious. *hugs*

I agree about mankinis, very strange. I am not sure if men actually wear them, or if they are just novelty items of clothing.

Have you started to get everything ready for your trip?

No,had a little breakdown due to tedium.
Today I was so bored that I just had a mental breakdown.
Nothing too serious but I really need to ffind things to do or else I'll lose my mind.

Yep everything ready. I did that all yesterday, since I am at the moment at my parents place. Since there was no direct flight to the conference from the airport near my place, I decided to spent the weekend at my parents place and take a flight on Monday from the airport near their place :D

Are you hoping the summer sale will wait for you to come back from your holiday? I missed the last insomnia sale and I hated missing out on gifting lots of lovely people.

It would be nice if the summer sale starts after I am back. It is always a lot of fun here when the sales are around. But that is the only reason. The sale itself is not really important. I don't feel this need to increase my collection anymore now that the feel of it being my collection is gone.
