I suppose I could kick you out so you could join again, but I WILL make you fill out all the forms in triplicate

LOL...

Remember, Barbados, the link for an application is up at the top of the page on our website.

I'm older then the application link so I run under grand father laws.

Did you know that for over 500 years, "time immemorial" was defined in the UK as anything before the 6 July 1189.

It's good to have a definition. What is it defined as now?

Whit the brits you never know!
They are nice people but kinda crazy too.

[MagResPolarBear]

According to Wikipedia, it was redefined in 1832 as "Time whereof the Memory of Man runneth not to the contrary.". So seeing as we've got Blimie in our unit, we're talking at least the Jurassic era

That... appears to be grammatically and syntactically correct. Is google translate getting better, or have you been holding out on me, Class?

[Clasbyte]

Neither dude i just like to collect proverbs.

It was still the wrong language though. Norwegian is much better!

Når katten er borte, danser musene på bordet.

[MagResPolarBear]

Interesting. In Swedish, it's rats that dance on the table rather than mice.

[Clasbyte]

In german it is the same saying

Når katten er borte, danser musene på bordet.
If the cat is away, the mice play.

Wenn die Katze aus dem Haus ist tanzen die Mäuse auf dem Tisch
If the cat is out of the house, the mice are dancing on the table.

The correct proverb in English for both is
If the cat is away, the mice play.

Look at us, getting all educated and crap.

Hey, if you're going to be a merc in the IS, languages are important. You never know what your enemy (or your employer, for that matter) might let slip because they don't think you can understand them.

It's all Greek to me!

[MagResPolarBear]

Greek's not going to help you my friend; from what I hear we've been hired by Davion and Marik's nowhere near them. Better work on your Japanese, Chinese and Russian. And probably your French, just in case
