Tropper is no more? Gone? I don’t believe it.
RIP Tropper mate. Bit dusty in here. Sic Transit, as they say.
Not many people know that he’d been shot in Ireland after he had a stoppage on his personal weapon.It was called Hibernia then; and the stoppage wasn’t his fault, it was a known problem on the early models of the gladius. It was the frost, it sometimes made the blade stick. As for getting shot, well we didn’t even know the barbarians had a ballista. We still don’t know where they got the IWS from. I think the Legion’s IO got sent to the galleys for that cock up.
PS Wah shields to full power; I suspect Tropper might yet rise from his tomb.Last edited by Onetap; 28-07-2010 at 19:10.
Peccavi.
Tried like a good 'un, did it all wrong. Thought that the hard way was taking too long.
Too late for regret or chemical change. Yesterday's targets have gone out of range.

From that moment on, the majority (who vote) will vote for those candidates promising the greatest benefits from the public purse, with the result that a democracy will always collapse from loose fiscal policies, always followed by a dictatorship." Lord Thomas MacCauley 1857

I miss him.
Clearly, the IRA are far better shots than I.We need people who look to the stars, holding the nation and the world in their hearts but at the same time we need down-to-earth people who can do serious and trying work.
In a definite sense, a country's power and prestige isn't only a reflection of its economic power but also a reflection of its people's quality and morality. Moreover, I think the latter is actually more important in the long-term.

Welcome Jim. Do you smell of wee like Tropper did?
Having met Tropper66 I can say that he's actually a nice bloke for an old man that smells of wee and has more stories than a childrens library.

It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom -- for that alone, which no honest man gives up,
As true today as in 1320.

Tropper gone? Did Bugsy sell him some bad smack?
For the first month of Ricardo and Felicity's affair, they greeted one another at every stolen rendezvous with a kiss--a lengthy, ravenous kiss, Ricardo lapping and sucking at Felicity's mouth as if she were a giant cage-mounted water bottle and he were the world's thirstiest gerbil.
