>> While its nice that these things work,

>Yes it is really isn't it, let me ask.... do you have Brands installed?
>surely someone who can obviously do a better job would of done it himself?
>No? Well Shit, i'm so dissapointed in you.

>> it'd be a whole lot nicer if they stuck to Papyrus' file formats.
>> So if you want to call him anything call him a magician, not a genius.

Jesse, sometimes it's better to keep your mouth shut and be mistaken for
a fool, than to open it and remove any doubt people may have.......

: To punish you for unfairly critisizing Noonan's great work, I have to
: punish you: Go to www.grandprix3.org, and don't come back here untill
: you say you're sorry!

Heh heh... brilliant.  The R.A.S. penalty box, and a very appropriate one.

Aahh - what a comforting thought as we wait expectantly for the next
track:-)

Will aging GPL'ers tell their sceptical grandchildren about Jeff Noonan
around the fire on cold winter's evenings?

The legend starts here.

He came from out of the darkness, a slight, bespecticalled figure, muttering
logarithmic jargon under his breath as his hands weaved mystic traces in the
air before him.  He stopped before the console and, flexing his fingers as
does a maestro before taking up his baton, he stopped, curled his lips into
what some could have perceived as a faintly maniacal smile, and spoke aloud
to the empty room, "***! I've left me coffee downstairs!"

I just realised that it should be "bespectacled"!! (I penned that in a rush

So I'm not the only one to make that connection then. It has to be said
that there are some similarities....

Tim,

    Alison Hine still claims that David Noonan created Brands Hatch from
scratch,as she was involved with the project.
