Why does God always put the boot in? Why have I got automatic updates selected on this bloody computer?
![]() I have a great girlfriend and 3 great kids. I have a job I hate and a mortgage I hate even more. Ten to 1am is my time when all are asleep and I take the U-boat for a spin. I'm not a good kaleun. I'm not a talented kaleun. But I'm a kaleun who tries. ![]() I went out as per usual shooting the odd tramp steamer passing the time to my patrol grid. But today happens to be the day my PC scans and looks for updates. Kept getting the little bling noise and a message box telling me a fantastic update to my spamkiller had been found and I should restart to install. I click 'I'll do it later' it goes away. It comes back every half hour or so. I found THE convoy. Heavily escorted but chockablock full of tankers and large merchies, 1000 m under the keel and 5 eels in their tubes. I got inside the screen and shot 2 salvoes and the stern. I sank 2 large tankers and winged a large cargo. I dived, evaded, reloaded and followed up. I got 2 more medium merchants. I survived a depthcharge assault by 2 escorts for bloody ages. When they left I decided to go back and finish the large cargo. I had about 54000 tonnes including the various little guys on the away which is some achievement for me and surviving to boot. I still have 6 fish left and about half of my deck gun ammo, I've got a good feeling about this patrol. Just as I'm plotting the course the little message box pops up and I click on it by mistake ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Wonder if my boss would believe that I'm sick tomo:hmm:
