An early start for me today.

@robert – “Nothing beats shoving a bit of sage or tarragon up a chicken’s arse!” A worth speech from a future member of Parliment. 30pts.

@limburger – If youhad made such a statement about Hammer films in one of our first communications then I would have hunted you down. Hammer rules. The first boobs I ever saw wee in a Hammer movie.

Mr. Lee & Mr. Cushing were doing movies way before that. Peter Cushing got started in a Laural & Hardy film, ‘A Chump at Oxford’. Mr. Cushing should be the patron saint of wargamers as he was one. He had to move house because the weight of all the lead soldiers was effecting the upstairs! He said that painting his collection of toy soldiers was how he survived the stress of making movies.

I might forgive you in a few years. Have you ever heard of “shunning”? 100pts.

You must know what ‘Burke & Hare’s’ is named after? It is where they are supposed to have plied their trade. Great bookshop close by and a space will bollards where the Police let me park my bike.

What excuse do you need to go and watch attractive young ladies dancing. Some of them are really unbelievable dancers. I have taken Heather a few time too. However, should your tastes be a little less ‘upmarket’ then you can walk over the road the ‘The Western Bar’. Rough is not the right word, but if you could get these girls on their knees you could make sawdust!

Blenheim Street Model Shop. Next to the ‘Diving Centre’ just off Westgate Road. My grandfather took me there when I was 5-6 and bought me a Spitfire kit. I was still buying stuff when I was 20 and then it moved when the redeveloped the surrounding area. It moved into what used to be ‘TITS’ (Tell-It Tshirts) next to a gay pub called The Courtyard. Then re revamped that part of the town when they built the Life Centre and the Newcastle Arena. Next thing I know it is a gay cafe.

Enamel paints were great colours and great coverage, but they sucked too. Cleaning brushes was a pain.

There is a shop/club, but they are 40gay! I’ll see if anyone else is interested. I’ll put the parts here first for all you greedy skinflints to fight over…

@sundance – it is part of Highgate Cemetery in London. It is the intro to Hammer movies, but closed to the public for a few years. We went for my 39th birthday. The night before we had seen Bauhaus play at the Forum. It is called the Egyptian Corridor and was built during the Egyptian craze in the early 1900’s.

See if you can find the openings for ‘Dr. Phibes’ or one of the Hammer compilations…’Tales from the Crypt’ (with Tom Baker) that I know is on YouTube. Never seen PB, but I imagine that it is just CGI. Georges Square in Glasgow was where they filmed the opening scenes from ‘World War Z’ Such a bad movie, but a great book.

@torros – even with your taste in mini minis it would still take a few to do Napoleonic games. Glad to hear you are well and still gaming. 100pts.

@oriskany – I will have a browse tonight when Heather is out. Good one. I have the Puggies today so it was an early start. Had to walk them first thing because of the heat. They are walked and tucking into their breakfast of eggs and cheese. They are not spolied.

I also go stuck into making air-con pipes for my garages this morning…

Rosie, one of my cats, comes in with chunks missing from his nose almost every morning. Scabs and lumps when you stroke him. Proper beast.

I always love your battle reports. Such detail. I would really love to take part in one of your game…someday. If you make it back to BoW HQ I might be able to make it that far!

I bought the tanks from a dealer when I bought a load of other stuff. Jamie sold him his Dwarf army and we went to his house to drop them off. He showed me some of his stock and we came to an agreement. If anyone has a use for them just let me know before I put the up for offers.

Those tables are in the Wacoshop HQ gaming hall. They even had FW tables you could play on. When I used to go down they has a store member who was an amazing painter, but he painted standing up and wandering about. He looked exactly like white Jesus. Maybe that has something to do with his skill?

@woldenspoons – what news have I missed now? I heard that Buffoon Johnson was made (not elected) PM of the UK. What a joke. British democracy is a joke now after they wanted another vote when they lost. I suppose what with all the drugs, fraud, and molesting children, that they forget how democracy is meant to work.

Star Trekkin’ is the best. Another great UK No.1 single.

@horati0nosebl0wer – I almost fainted at the mess!

I love the girl on the front of ‘Dead is the New Alive. Tasty meat. I will give them a listen too.
