Re: Movie: Street Thief
Pretty interesting film and quite well done. If I hadn't already known it was fictional it would've fooled me (reminded me a bit of Paradise Lost ) although the fact that the documenters didn't get arrested for taking part in burglaries would've tipped me off. Despite being fictional, it does give a...

Re: Chat meeting
It would be easier to use the UTC clock in the top-right corner of the site (under the Search, Members list and User Control Panel). The timing depends on where most of your operatives are located (the US, presumably) and what shifts everyone is available.

That's actually not a bad idea, although given our global dispersal it would be difficult to organise an appropriate timeframe for everyone. I'm mostly nocturnal so my timeframe is flexible enough.

Likewise, I've tried Australian Army rations before and can confirm their usefulness in the field (particularly god for SHTF scenarios or long ops through remote terrain). Alas I've no idea where to acquire them without actually joining the army - that 25 year old tin of cheese was mighty excellent.
