"If you had a Time Machine how would you alter Waterloo" Topic

No, the name is Michael Price, not Captain Gideon;). You really do need to learn to take what happens here rather more lightly; you just make yourself into far too easy a target.

Colin you had NO right to use my real name how dare you.

I do what I please regardless of what you say.

Captain Gideon

LOL. FFS your real name is shown on your profile! Where I come from I have every right to use someone's real name; is that not allowed in whichever corner of the USA is graced with your presence?

Corporal Giddy, I am sorry to say this but on here you behave like a stroppy teenager with an attitude problem, no sense of humour and very little grasp on how normal human interaction works. I suspect that I know what your problem is, which may be more than you do.

????

Er, if I might be so bold; If you're that bothered was it wise to put your real name on public display in your profile?

Colin you have NO clue about me so how can you make that claim,you don't have the facts and you'll never have them because you don't know me.

I actually suspect that Giddy is really an alter-ego of the owner of TMP. When he thinks that it is getting too quiet and/or serious, he posts as Corporal Giddy, to wake us up and give us a good laugh,

Has anyone ever seen a photo of the two of them together? No! That is proof that they are the same person;).

Can I polish your pips?

Giddy, your posts here have told us a LOT about you:).

If he is an American captain, he won't have pips:(. Pity really!

I was thinking of Star Trek captains…

Well this has been an education. I hadn't encountered the good Captain before, but now I find this: TMP link

:)

Oh, he has been like this for a long time.

Apologies for not picking up the Star Trek reference; it is a topic of which I know next to nothing:).

That thread was an absolute classic.

He would not have lasted long in the Wardroom.

It seems you 2 jokers have no clue as to what Captain Gideon I'm refering to.

I'm glad you're having such a laugh at my expense so does anyone else want to dump on me?

The one from Star Blazers perchance?

Or the one from Crusade?

You actually found it Colin I'm surprised you even bothered to look.

Crusade? What's that then?

I don't know what Star Blazers is either but my Google-Fu is strong today:).

Babylon 5 offshoot – quickly binned.

Finding things out and making sense of them is part of my job:).

Babylon 5…I have heard of that:). Was it a Bob Marley album? :)

Just because you don't know StarBlazers or Space Cruiser Yamato which is a CLASSIC Japanese ANIME about them turning the Battleship Yamato into a Spaceship to save Earth.

And Crusade is a Babylon 5 spinoff show.

This is much more fun that working; it will be a shame when the stupid software application that I am trying to use starts working again and I can get on with what I am paid to do:).

That's it. He mentions Captain Gideon in one of the songs (first name, Arma).

Giddy, I am almost proud of not knowing that; it makes me feel more grown up in a strange sort of way.

LOL. So Corporal Giddy was name checked by Bob Marley; all of a sudden I am starting to respect him;).

Colly are you refering to StarBlazers?

It must have taken a while to scrape off the barnacles and flush out the dead Japanese sailors and crabs before getting her airborne. What were the aliens doing during all that time?!

StarBlazers or Space Cruiser Yamato.

By the way, at work I am usually called Professor Allen, in the music industry I am known as "The Guv'nor", my partner calls me Lao Gong, my friends call me Colin and some idiots call me Sir Colin. However, I like being Colly and wish to be known as that in future.

Trying to wipe out Earth.

I'm amazed you two don't know StarBlazers but it was before you were born,so I understand.

Surname 'Wobbles'?

Did the Clangers assist with the recovery? They were experts at recovering scrap and making it spaceworthy with a bit of musical cheese. And they had an orbital facility, which is a bonus.

Picked up from the @tosphere on this topic while crossing the void last night -:
(Names were missing but Im sure you can fill them in)

Rename it Placenoit, and if you say different you're clinically insane.
Make sure Berthier was there, its says so in Swords.
The opposite of whatever he said, I never read his posts, and anyway the Austrians did it first & better.
Pinch St Wellies halo.
I see the usual suspects are pitching in again, no sources
Jeez, if I get picked on one more time,
I see the usual suspects are pitching in again
Right thats it
This hyperlink only accessible by accredited professors of an obscure university should help.
What a bunch of tweets.

Tough I reckon encouraging Uxbridge to hit him with the soggy end, would be the best.

Yes, Colly Wobbles; that will be my name from now on:).

In fact, in the spirit of this thread, I now wish to be known as Air Marshal Sir Hugh Mungus Lovetruncheon RAFVR(T) DFC ABH & Public Bar.

Colly, you can call me Loretta.

No the alien's were called Gamilon's.

No the alien's were called Gamilon's.

Apostrophe Fail!

The Clangers would have kicked their scabby alien posterior thorax-podules without the need for dodgy maritime archaeology, war-grave disturbance and scrapheap challenge.

Okay I'll bite who are the Clangers?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clangers

Now I know why I never heard of the Clangers.

Hey, don't dis the Clangers; they are cool. Loretta and I like them.

I'm beginning to run out of ribs. Matt.

To return to the OP: if I had a time machine what would I do to help Napoleon win Waterloo?
Absolutely nothing!
Just to be on the safe side, I might go back in time to prevent anyone – especially Captain Gideon – from inventing their own time machine so no one would be able to help him!

Colly I never dis the Clangers as you said,I just said I never heard of them.

So don't put words in my mouth when I never uttered those words.

So now I got a couple more jokers wanting to dump on me well that's fine.

When it starts to get personnel maybe things will change.

Could the Gamilon's make wrecked ships achieve escape velocity with nothing more than muscial cheese? I don't flippin' think so. They couldn't even punctuate.

The Clangers are nails… and they have a Dragon.

Giddy,
It is "personal", not "personnel"; I have told you that before!

Not only do the Clangers have a dragon, it is a Soup Dragon! Clangers are way harder than any other knitted fantasy space aliens (and most of the non-knitted ones as well)!

Hey, that is how I would alter Waterloo if I had a time machine; I would transport the hard as nails Clangers back there and put them in the front rank of d'Erlon's attack. Those poncey British cavalry wouldn't have been so happy then would they, especially that Sergeant Ewart; imagine trying to grab an Eagle from a Clanger! Clangers could make something amazing from an Eagle and there is no way they would let some guy on a grey horse pinch it!

Les Bruitiers! Bon idee!

Le Poulet en Cuirasse certainly would have kicked arse.

Hey yes, the Iron Chicken as well! What an unbeatable team.

Of course, the great thing about a French victory at Waterloo (or Mont Saint Jean as it would have become known) is that the British army would have to be rescued yet again by the Royal Navy, giving us something else to mock the Pongos about:).

So if you want to post here please go ahead but I'll pursue things on other threads on TMP.

Please do not bang the door with your arse on the way out.

Perhaps a quiet word to Fat Louis about giving Ney a job in the North and an Iron cage to someone else.

Could have sworn this was meant to be a thread related to Waterloo?????

Gaz
Maybe I misread the title, I thought it was "Ïf you had a time machine what drugs would you feed to Mama Gideon?"
