@cpauls1 – “I saw him dragging a dead chipmunk around when he was eight weeks…”, Rambo the cat! 100pts.

I am sure my dad’s Uncle would have known what to do. He would have probably beat them both with a chicken or something primitive like that. He was the local vet. I’m sure I told you about the guy who turned up on his doorstep in the middle of the night with half his arm hanging off…

Without you worrying I will ask my dad. He does know about this sort of thing.It is known as an ‘Ouroboros’ (I hope that is spelt correctly) and represents ‘wholeness’ and ‘the infinite’. Sort of like an Ahnk, but different. It’s all about who you listen to and there are loads of different interpretations and uses. Unusual on a British public cemetery.

@limburger – that is we wanted Heather to see! I bought almost £200 worth of IA stuff as if was 30% off. We went a few times for Jamie’s birthday. A good friend of ours works for FW and we would meet him for lunch. One year he brought Jamie the FW Tau campaign book and had gotten all the designers and artists to sign it for him. He almost wet himself. It is still one of his most treasured things. We would have a game sometimes. I got my arse handed to me by him and Dr. Andy one year. I hate Tau.

That was a day off school to go to Conflict. The guy bending over (on the left) is Derek. Not ‘my’ Derek. No, this is the famous “army” Derek. A machine-gun team squad-leader and an awesome painer/modeller. His modelling skills are almost as good as mine. He won best army that year. A mobile ‘Desert Guard’ army with his mobile artillery…

The magazine comes out and has individual rounds. Different ones too. When he was in Kosovo they had him doing radio watch for 24 hr shifts. We would post him loads of undercoated models and he would send back some works of art. For the  summer holidays he would put on games in GW. One year he covered the entire table in trees and informed the four players that there was an “enemy” out there. Derek made a 40K Predator, but I don’t have a picture. Now and again a shot would ring out and a sniper would be revealed. They would have been there all game…hidden like the real thing. Nobody noticed a single one of them before they started firing.

…and then the Tau deployed right on top of me!

I knew the fucker were planning something. They had been plotting on the way down…looking into the back of the car an smiling! Yes, that other ‘boy’ is a doctor. We went to Edinburgh to buy an Airbrush and found ourselves in the Burke & Hare club. The young ladies asked what we did and he said, “doctor”. They wouldn’t believe him, even when he showed them his hospital ID. One of them said, “You can get one of the online.”

The argument was settle when another of the young dancers offered a resolution…”Would you two gentlemen like a girl-on-girl dance?” Now, I am a very polite person and just smiled. Andy managed to stutter out a, “…yes plese” before handing over 40 sheets. The only reason I know where about that place is because there is a brilliant model shop around the corner. Since my childhood model shop became a gay cafe I have to travel 124 miles to buy glue.

I used to enjoy a day out and just ride up, but now it’s the train or when my dad is going up that way. he has two customers up that way. Or if we go to the Fringe festival for the day.

I just saw this while looking for something else. That was before we went to see Avril in 2006. Eve would freak-out if I showed that to anyone!
