Great clue Richard *smack*

This whole puzzle is more like Myst or Riven and I had to use the cheat codes finally for those.

When do we get our cheat codes huh?

Am I allowed to roll on the floor laughing - looking at it all in once go it really is crap.... so many mistakes... GCHQ are not on Amber, the Oldbury dregindg stuff is total fantasy,

As I said before - if you are going to publish a story - get the facts right.

As a second rate bit of fiction its OK I suppose - but dont give up the day job

PS - several of my friends in Cheltenham have also been rolling on the floor wetting themselves.

Steve.

Nappies all round then Stephen i feel.
Please can you give us some hard proof of your findings. GCHQ, How do you know its not amber. The dredging, please give logs or proof. And any other hole you may have, proof again would be nice.
All the best.

Raptor, apparently you can walk by GCHQ and view what status they are at, so that is easily found out.

The other facts have been gleaned are from his own (stephen) contacts, such as needing a permit to dredge - which does make sense.

In any event, just enjoy the story - whether you believe or not (as Michael suggested). No need to get all agitated.

The facts are not going to be known by the common lay person, so information that is given in Michaels story may not raise any suspicions with some, it is only those that delve a little deeper with the details that may see the cracks in the story.

Either way, it does not make the story any less enjoyable to the majority of people.

Just roll with it icon_wink.gif

Hmmm I detect a nasty streak in that carrot from Cheltenham.

So far all you done is winge winge winge mate and come up with questions and comments. Every time an answer has been given you go quiet and then up again whinging at the next opportunity. Why dont you wait for the end of the story like the rest of us and like ghost sceptic says dont get so agitated.

If you dont like it or if its so second rate and you can write something better yourself cant you. Stop spoiling it for the rest of us.

Rolling round the floor wetting themselves? Is that what they do in Cheltenham.

~ As for the rest of you night night all icon_biggrin.gif

One thing I meant to mention earlier to people is that there may be a good piece of software you may be interested in obtaining if and when we get the E-Book.

It is a speech to text program, for those unfamiliar with these, they simply convert written text into computer generated speech - a bit hit and miss at times but well worth trying as it gives a feeling of personality.

You can download trial/free versions... two I would suggest you to try are:

'TextAloud'
'Read Please'

Just perform a search and you will find them with no problems (I would recommend the 2nd one personally), there are a few voices available to choose in each application - although I would not recommend shelling out money for the AT&T voices.

If you do take me up on my suggestion, then load up the text in whatever viewer you desire, cut and paste the text into the text2speech program and just read along as it speaks.

It's quite a blast icon_wink.gif

Got to agree with Spanglo..there seems to be a bit of a nasty steak in Stephen's post.....SECOND RATE????.....I think NOT icon_evil.gif .....the standard of Michaels's writing has been good enough to keep bringing you back here hasn't it???? if you don't like reading a book...don't you put it away and go find one that you DO like???.or are you just trying to spoil it for the rest of us .

Everyone, my computer is riddled with virus and was, what I can only describe as, hacked last night. I am sending this message from work.

I'll speak to you, hopefully, over the weekend, once I have run my recovery disc and tried to get things back on track.

Emx

Sorry to hear about your computer ebjeebe - I hope you get it sorted out without too much trouble icon_smile.gif I've heard of a few computer problems in this group lately and HOPE it's just coincidence..... let's be vigilant.

I'm going away for the weekend, so I'll miss the e-book coming out --- looking forward to reading it when I get back! Admin - you've done a great job with MP's site, thanks!! I've really enjoyed looking round it icon_biggrin.gif

Bye for now,

Hello

its Pat here. I didn't get into work yeaterday as I didn't get home until 6am Thursday morning!

I left work at 5.00 to go into Birmingham to go and see the pantomime at the 'Hippodrome' Theatre. I was 4 hours on a bus, and only saw the last half hour of the show.

I then couldn't get home and had to spend the night on New Street Railway Station waiting area. Needless to say I had no sleep.

It was just dreadful here in Birmingham. Late at night they stopped all taxis and buses and I was just stranded. I had nowhere else to go and all the hotels were full.

What an experience that was!

Hope everyone is well and didn't have as many problems as I did.

See ya

Just a snipet of something i am reading at the mo : -


Macy said one form of computer-aided ITC involves spirit teams working closely with a living researcher who has "certain psychic qualities." When successful, spirits are able to turn computers on and leave messages, even planting files on hard drives or floppy discs.

Macy said communication typically occurs on Windows machines, and has come in the form of simple text messages, Microsoft Word document files and a wide variety of digital image formats, including ".tif," ".jpg" and ".gif." With the popularity of the Web and e-mail, one might think that the spirits would use the Internet as a communication medium. But Macy said the Internet includes too many "troubled thoughtforms" that disrupt the harmony necessary for ITC contacts to occur.

"The Internet corrupts that harmony," Macy said, "by distributing all facets of human thought, from the light and loving to the dark and dirty."

Quite right Spanglo

This all started off so nicely. I admit to this being my first and last posting. The story has captivated my interest from the beginning. Unfortunately like so many Message Boards, what started off as a nice group of friendly people it has rapidly gone downhill. Its obvious that many have left already.

If you want to make remarks against others and rubbish the comments, work or expressions of other people ( or spirits ) then you have to be able to prove that you are better than they are in some way. You dont even come close.

Unfortunately Michael with his eloquent and kind manner has proved himself to be way above and beyond your level. No wonder he is not coming back here. I wouldn't. I wont.

Hello and Goodbye

Spanglo and Tremor

I read this every morning. I dont post any more for reasons similar to Tremor. The worst thing any Message Board can get is some know it all who makes a nuisance of themselves.

Look how many people youve driven off with your bickering and moaning. Read it, enjoy it, or Get Out!

Have a great day

Hi Pat,

I find it incredibly ridiculous that this country seems to fall apart whenever we have snow, they had been warning us all of the bad weather so surely the authoroties could've been more prepared, it's the same here in Manchester, where I live there has been no gritters and the roads and pavements are lethal!!

I'm glad you made it home safely eventually though icon_smile.gif

take care & keep warm
Love & wishes
Kate xx
