@woldenspoons – your creatures are awesome! No names? I love the ‘triangle’ on the cats nose! 200pts. Rover seems to be giving you the look.

If you want new Soundgarden/Nirvana songs we could always hold a seance. No joking. There was that guy who ‘met a time-traveller from the future’ and while they were chatting he was listening to “Everyday Chemistry” by the Beatles. It’s a future/alternate timeline/total delusion album that nonbody has ever heard. You can download it too!

Have you ever seen the Comic Strip episode, ‘More Bad News!”? The lead singer had become “metaphysical” and been speaking to some interesting people from recent rock history. They never give him any full songs – the closest was one that John gave him. John Lennon. It’s a song about a girl called ‘Imogen’.

I did make some radio shows for the game ‘2.Hospital’, but that was just for fun.

Everytime I pass a second-hand shop, record shop (you can stil find them in strange places…I found one in Matlock Bath), or car boot sale without looking at records or CD’s. I suppose it is just habit. Even if I got rid of all my physical collection I would keep my special items – autographed stuff and unreleased things. I have also got loads of digital music. It is one of the ‘modern’ things that I do like.

I would also have confronted my younger self and after giving myself a slap told me not to join up. I would tell me all the bullshit they don’t tell you and that all the recruiting stuff that looks cool is a lie. It is a total waste of ‘resources’ to be young.

You don’t listen to anything because you know it all and you make the most amazing mistakes – just because you didn’t think or listen. You have all the youth, but none of the brains. Maybe that is the thing…my brain in my 18 year-old body would be a thing to behold!

The middle picture looks like Scarborough a little bit. If that is where you live then you are so lucky. 500pts. When I am not at home I stay just off the banks of Loch Fyne which is an open sea Loch. Tides rule.

No, I said she had nice hands! Terrible music. 100pts.

As for the Dead 13…once more with feeling! I give them a C+ for effort, but the ‘look’ is not working for me.

No, you are supposed to be Sparticus! That’s why I like that film. I still don’t know who the real Sparticus was and that is what makes it a great whodunnit.

@robert – Dave does washes with oils for streaks and such on his Titans. I am sure he uses Turps. Either that or he drinks it!

As you are a “Firm believer in having as many tools in the box as possible, not just relying on one big tool!”, I wonder where you buy you undies from?

@rayzryr – those building are for modern games. I use a set of rules called Force-on-Force. They are some of the best rules I have ever played.

Astroneer, or Astroqueer as Jamie calls it when he sees my playing it, was early access on Steam and came up as I play a rocket building game called KSP. It is an exploration game which is a lot more difficult that it looks. You don’t have to manage food or stuff like that, but you have to keep an air supply! You have to find resources to convert…usual stuff, but you get to explore the entire system and it is a pain in the onions. I liked the ‘look’ of the game and who doesn’t like a bit of terraforming?

I am not a video gamer either. Jamie likes Red Dead, Rainbow 6 Siege. and For Honour, but plays them on a PS4. I used to be a big Battlefield player, but not any more. However, I discovered Steam and it rules. You just buy and it does everything else, click a button and you are off. No configuring either.

I was just about to spray those minis before I started this reply. Eve dropped off the Puggies while she took Heather to buy a chair – so I have been Pugging all afternoon. Just don’t tell Eve they have had pork scratchings!

Isn’t that always the case will colds? Fit in time for work – that is no use. I won’t recommend a stroke as it might get you a bit longer off. However, it worked for me!

My cure is sleep and sweat.

BWW did have a couple of chart songs during the 80’s The one I remember being popular was “I Want Candy” and i’m sure it is used on an advert.

I was a massive Chaos player a while ago. Just over 16000pts at one point! Mostly Chaos-Undivided, but I had lots of Nurgle units. The looked the part back then (pre-2012). I am sure that 8 of my Defilers were dedicated to Nurgle. I never built anything from the box. The good old days.

NIN – I am sure the Romans used a similar size! 500pts. Jesus was rich until the Romans hammered him with Tax. Boom-boom.

We have little hope of evolving. I have never been an evolutionary theorist, more into the idea of a punctuated equilibrium at work, but we are devolving if anything. The majority of civilisation couldn’t survive their phine battery going flat never mind in a survival situation. No, we are pretty doomed as a species unless there is some huge, global, “something” which would unite us. The UN had plans for a fake alien invasion in the 1950’s, Ronald Reagan even talked about it in a speech, but unless it was something equally as massive we have buckley’s chance.

I have seen what people can do to each other. All joking to the side, I have seen things that would give most peoples ‘fears’ a dose of the shits. The fact that one human can do such things to another, usually based on nothing more than a notion, convinced me that there is little hope out there. That is why I sit and play with toy soldiers and fall asleep on my wife’s lap.

During the past 20 years I have seen almost nothing to change my mind. It sounds really silly, but I taught my children how to handle themselves as soon as they understood why. If you had stuck one in the middle of nowhere they would have been ok for a week. They know how to navigate by the stars and to catch/find food and water. They really enjoyed doing all that stuff when they were growing up.

No, there will be a flash and a mushroom cloud in the distance and two aboriginal in the Outback will look at each other and one will say, “There goes them stipid white-fellas again.” Then it can try again.

I might be tempted to go back to October 27th 1988 and meet Heather all over again! Spending a week with the Greek thinkers would not be a good idea…remember, they invented ‘it’! 100pts.

Fishing up in Scotland is like that. You wait until the tide changes, row out about 500m, and you can watch the fish coming towards you. Put your line with 5-6 hooks on in the water and lower it a bit, pull-pull-pull, and you have a dozen Mackerel in your barrel. My dads Uncle Tommy would row us out, catch 3 fish, stun-behead-gut, and have it in the small frying pan he kept at the back of the boat before it’s tail had stopped flapping. Beat that for fresh.

The first time I saw this I was semi-horrified. However, it tasted like nothing I had tasted before and I am not really a ‘fish’ eater.

Don’t sea Turtle bite? Were-possum – 1000pts. I want one!

I am sure black-fellas eat almost anything? I do know you can eat Crucifix spiders.

I would love to hang-out with some like Phil and his dad did. When I could still ride my bike I always thought a ride across Australia would be a good adventure. It would, but you would need a while! John has some relatives down your way. This will be wrong…Cotterslaw Beach sounds like it? He live there for a year when he was 10. His cousin was a train driver and used to be on those massive cargo trains that take three-weeks to get to where they are going. I could do that.

Thai’s like to barbie spiders! I would starve for a while first. Maybe try a few of my toes…

I don’t mind creep-crawlies if I am outside, but they freak me out indoors. No idea why. I did get a bit nervous when I went to Belize, but nothing got me!

@ceppie – 15 noobs filled 30 seats. They must have big bottoms! By ‘lost’ do you mean someone stole them? That is lower than whale shit.

Nice bag. Vi rules. 200pts. We need proper cases for our Infinity minis. I fancy trying the Kaiser-Rushforth ones.

Jamie says that Tau is stunning. It is rather good. 50pts.

@robert – I like your set-up. I had stuff like that before I decided it just wasn’t needed. If you had gone back in time and told me that I would have had you sectioned.

@limburger – vinyl is an age thing. Other than cassette that was all ther was until CD’s appeared when I was 16ish. I spent my youth collecting music so it is just a memory lane thing. I still remember my first vinyl purchase: 7″ ‘Doctor, Doctor’ by UFO on clear vinly. The B-side was a live version of ‘Only you can rock me’. Not bad for 75p.

Nice Ork! 100pts.
