How you much latinum did that cost? Defect free what species was this?

Wayne,

do you think we can afford a replicator?

"40) If you see profit on a journey, take it."
"42) Only negotiate when you are certain to profit."
"164) Never spend your own money when you can spend someone else's."
Yes, I think you can afford it.

"172) If you can sell it, don't hesitate to steal it."
"61) Never buy what can be stolen."
"189) Borrow on a handshake; lend in writing."
Do you think I can borrow it, once you have brought it.

"14) Anything stolen is pure profit."
"21) Never place friendship before profit.*"
"12) Anything worth selling is worth selling twice."
They sell almost anything on ebay.

"62) The riskier the road, the higher the profit.*"
"55) Always sell at the highest possible profit."

Sorry the Farrang in me is coming out.

Wayne,

I'm exhausted.

Pork Pad Thai please, and some money bags!

David

Ahh, but the Chicken over here is much tastier.

Perhaps, I can replicate it for you when you lend me that Replicater.

Here are some Star Trek Joke links, even if you are not a Star Trek Fan have a read.
Hope they put a smile on some people faces

One of the great cures for AS, is to have a good chuckle (laugh) every now and then.

If you have a problem with the First Link, here is the text.
"Star Trek, Lost Episode"

Transcript
(Picard) "Mr. LaForge, have you had any success with your attempts at finding a weakness in the Borg? And Mr. Data, have you been able to access their command pathways?"

(Geordi)"Yes, Captain. In fact, we found the answer by searching through our archives on late Twentieth-century computing technology."

(Geordi presses a key, and a logo appears on the computer screen.)

(Riker looks puzzled.) "What the hell is 'Microsoft'?"

(Data turns to answer.) "Allow me to explain. We will send this program, for some reason called 'Windows', through the Borg command pathways. Once inside their root command unit, it will begin consuming system resources at an unstoppable rate."

(Picard) "But the Borg have the ability to adapt. Won't they alter their processing systems to increase their storage capacity?"

(Data) "Yes, Captain. But when 'Windows' detects this, it creates a new version of itself known as an 'upgrade'. The use of resources increases exponentially with each iteration. The Borg will not be able to adapt quickly enough. Eventually all of their processing ability will be taken over and none will be available for their normal operational functions."

(Picard) "Excellent work. This is even better than that 'unsolvable geometric shape' idea."

(Data) "Captain, We have successfully installed the 'Windows' in the command unit and as expected it immediately consumed 85% of all resources. We however have not received any confirmation of the expected 'upgrade'."

(Geordi) "Our scanners have picked up an increase in Borg storage and CPU capacity to compensate, but we still have no indication of an 'upgrade' to compensate for their increase."

(Picard) "Data, scan the history banks again and determine if their is something we have missed."

(Data) "Sir, I believe their is a reason for the failure in the 'upgrade'. Apparently the Borg have circumvented that part of the plan by not sending in their registration cards.

(Riker) "Captain we have no choice. Requesting permission to begin emergency escape sequence 3F . . ."

(Geordi, excited) "Wait, Captain I just detected their CPU capacity has suddenly dropped to 0% !"

(Picard) "Data, what does your scanners show?"

(Data) "Apparently the Borg have found the internal 'Windows' module named 'Solitaire' and it has used up all the CPU capacity."

(Picard) "Lets wait and see how long this 'solitaire' can reduce their functionality."

(Riker) "Geordi what's the status on the Borg?"

(Geordi) "As expected the Borg are attempting to re-engineer to compensate for increased CPU and storage demands, but each time they successfully increase resources I have setup our closest deep space monitor beacon to transmit more 'windows' modules from something called the 'Microsoft fun-pack'.

(Picard) "How much time will that buy us ?"

(Data) "Current Borg solution rates allow me to predicate an interest time span of 6 more hours."

(Geordi) "Captain, another vessel has entered our sector."

(Picard) "Identify."

(Data) "It appears to have markings very similar to the 'Microsoft' logo"

(Over the speakers) "THIS IS ADMIRAL BILL GATES OF THE MICROSOFT FLAGSHIP MONOPOLY. WE HAVE POSITIVE CONFIRMATION OF UNREGISTERED SOFTWARE IN THIS SECTOR. SURRENDER ALL ASSETS AND WE CAN AVOID ANY TROUBLE. YOU HAVE 10 SECONDS"

(Data) "The alien ship has just opened its forward hatches and released thousands of humanoid shaped objects."

(Picard) "Magnify forward viewer on the alien craft"

(Riker) "Good God captain! Those are humans floating straight toward the Borg ship with no life support suits ! How can they survive the tortures of deep space ?!"

(Data) "I don't believe that those are humans sir, if you will look closer I believe you will see that they are carrying something recognized by twenty-first century man as doe skin leather briefcases, and wearing Armani suits"

(Riker and Picard together horrified) "Lawyers !!"

(Geordi) "It can't be. All the Lawyers were rounded up and sent hurtling into the sun in 2017 during the Great Awakening."

(Data) "True, but apparently some must have survived."

(Riker) "They have surrounded the Borg ship and are covering it with all types of papers."

(Data) "I believe that is known in ancient vernacular as 'red tape' - it often proves fatal."

(Riker) "They're tearing the Borg to pieces !"

(Picard) "Turn off the monitors. I can't stand to watch, not even the Borg deserve that."

Davo,
Did you get the following Borg Replacement Parts installed

988721 Bowel Conduit Tubing Tested to 2 atmostpheres

And if you did, how is it going. I hope you have not exceeded 2 atmospheres.

Hi,

it's on back order, apparently there's been a run on them since xmas.

Got mine patched up with preddy and gasket sealer for now, and sterting to feel better just getting the stiffness out now.

You need some chicken sent out?

or twisties not sure on the starch content.....

David

I am still interested in the Borg replacements
236789 Complete Spine refurbished with new joints and washers
mine are fusing up rapidly and need replacement soon.

No Chicken required, I have altered to pork and beef. And no thanks on the twisties, too much starch. Still a little starch aware.
It looks like they have the next wave of chickens under way after all the disinfecting.

My girlfriend had a Prawn Pad Thai the other day at an exclusive restraunt, I had the Pork Satay and Sweet and Sour Pork Thai style, but no money bags.

So the Predisone did the trick for you, are you still on it.
If you are off the Predisone, I hope you are not grinding coffee in your teeth, to get the same effect.
