GALNET - 16 FEB 3307 - Alliance Bales Out Lakon Spaceways

[Rubbernuke]

Bail Organa is sad

But I have never in a million years seen bale used like it has here- its always been bail when in this context. Bale of hay, bail out the bank.

 

[Commander Biscuit]

You are literally the only person defending the use of that spelling. Most of us are coming at this from years of being a native UK speaker of the language.

Well it's an American. Most Americans know how things work in the UK better than we do. I saw an American tourist once come out of the supermarket and eat a raw unbuttered crumpet. He wasn't impressed.

FDev, as you might be aware, are in the UK, and using "bale" is acceptable there.

Uhm, no, here in the UK, Bale is used in farming communities like where I grew up, where it refers to a bundle of hay.

 

[Sunyavadin]

Just like the fun we have with hagers and hangars eye twitches

And Hagars.

 

[Rubbernuke]

And Hagars.

What a Horrible thought

 

[SCiARA]

And Hagars.

I used to buy the sun purely for him

I was going to post a Christian Bale image but am pleased to see this has already been done swiftly enough.

Thread approved.

An investor baling out (of) a company would be the entire opposite of an investor bailing out the same company.

Four pages on this now. Just remember this next time someone mentions that this is a community of obsessives that could start a fight in an empty house.

We could even without house.

We need Peter O'Hanraha-hanrahan from The Day Today to take the blame for this.

you ninjad the hell out of me there

would like to see this thread go back to the topic in hand but can't see it

anyways, back to the alliance/lakon love nest
are we really thinking this could be the start of a militarised Alliance? If so I can't see them introducing a ranking system to unlock certain ships

I suppose if the story is that Alliance are prodding that thargoid bear then they are going to need an impressive fleet

Start of a militarised Alliance?

Thats what the Alliance is now. The only point of contention is when the Kale Crew start offensive actions or prod someone they should have left alone.

Actually, it would be bales(sic), since bales is what's in the actual galnet headline.

</pedantry>

I was talking to Frontier who wrote the headline not the OP who merely quoted it, hence no quote from the OP.

So the Club tried to blow up S1 and kill Halsey to get increased military spending and profit (and ready for the war), and in the end after everything and all the fallout The Club manage to get hold of the whole Company directly? Thats some Plan B. quite impressive. Unless that was Plan A and it just took longer.

Are we assuming JR is not at the top or near it, or surely he wouldnt be allowed to be taken alive?
