That was a name i didn't expect to see on a Sunday morning, Welcome back Osiris, i always wondered what exactly is your standing in Egyptian religious texts?

Brink · Post by **Brink** » Sun Jun 09, 2002 5:09 am

@CE and Dottie-That's good to hear

.I'm doing okay over here as well(my apologies for leaving so abruptly just now, RL was interfering with SYM life, and we know who the harsher taskmaster is

)

@Osiris-Hey there pal

.Good to see you around again

.What have you been up to?

Good morning Mr Sleep. I note, from a quick browse, that your number of posts appears to exceed Weasels. Is that because he was reset to zero when he got to 99999? Osiris was God of the Dead and Resurrection, also of fertility of the fields (literally rebirth from beneath the earth).

G'day Brink. Good to see familiar faces still on the forum. I've been watching a fair bit of the World Cup (Japan-Russia 0-0 at half time at the moment). Great to have the games in our time zone. How did your exams go?

Brink · Post by **Brink** » Sun Jun 09, 2002 6:06 am

@Osiris-Yeap

.No more sleepless nights for this World Cup

.My exams went okay, I suppose

.Didn't turn out too bad( or too good for that matter, but that's a different story

).So, are you still playing Pharaoh with Cleopatra?

Osiris · Post by **Osiris** » Sun Jun 09, 2002 6:15 am

@Brink. Haven't played Pharaoh for a while. I just reloaded it onto my new computer this afternoon and replayed a couple of the early missions to refresh my memory, but I'm pretty rusty. I don't think I've played it since Throne of Bhaal came out. Did you get the add-on for Zeus?

Brink · Post by **Brink** » Sun Jun 09, 2002 6:17 am

@Osiris-I see

.I'm probably rustier than you are at Pharaoh at the moment

.I didn't get the expansion for Zeus, unfortunately

.Is it good?

Osiris · Post by **Osiris** » Sun Jun 09, 2002 6:35 am

@Brink. I have'nt got Zeus yet. I noticed Zeus plus the add-on has been released as a package. I may get that. Russia just missed a chance to equalise. Not the most exciting game but it's starting to liven up a bit now.
Are you still studying this year?
I notice quite a number of the old names in the forum. What happened to Flagg?

Brink · Post by **Brink** » Sun Jun 09, 2002 6:57 am

@Osiris-Yeap, they're now being sold together

.You should probably get them, since Zeus is a major improvement over Pharaoh IMHO

.

Btw, I agree that the match is getting very interesting now

.Nakata was pretty unlucky to have hit the crossbar, although IMO the man of the match should probably be Inamoto once again

Yes, I'm still studying at the moment

I haven't heard from Flagg for a long time now myself

.Last I heard, he and Chrissie were a couple(although that was sometime last year, so it may not be accurate information anymore

)

Japan should win their group now (though it's not exactly the strongest group).
Must go now (early start tomorrow). Bye for now.

Brink · Post by **Brink** » Sun Jun 09, 2002 7:24 am

@Osiris-Good night buddy

.See you around sometime

Sorry i had to run out (which i am about to do again

) for a while, we had a family lunch and i had to go, my mum has turned 50!

Actually i am just a spammer who hasn't had computer or ISP problems and hasn't been sacked, don't have any exams or school to go through and my job is pretty much self disciplined time wise...

Good evening, DW and others, how are you doing?
Here, it's finally cooling off after another incredibly hot day, so I am trying to get some work done...my mind goes dull when it's too hot.

dragon wench · Post by **dragon wench** » Sun Jun 09, 2002 4:41 pm

Hi CE, it goes fairly well. It has been a nice day here as well, but I am not feeling that well, so have not been out to enjoy it.

Or maybe I am just looking for an excuse to socialise online

@CE - hi!!

Or in the case of a thesaurus a moose, and preceded with a 'Ya'?

@DW: Sorry to hear you're not well, hope you get better soon. It's however reassuring that you're not feeling too bad for SYM-socialisation

@Ysh: Hi! *hug* Is it cold in London? It's been baking hot here all week - I think the coldest day was 28C. The sun is devastating, I wonder how big the ozone hole over Greenland is this year...
