Anytime we spend killing blue space commies is time well spent.

It's a cultural thing...
I haven't been able to explain it merely observe it...

GW have alot of power over here, signs everywhere..... so they get you hooked on to the plastic at a young age and as for moaning we do it best ...... and cuing.

(i know im not helping the stereotype for us)

*Queuing...
We also have a thing about spelling and grammar...
Well most of us...
At any rate even without GW many people have a hobby of some sort...
IIRC Lotus (Car company if you don't know) was started by a few blokes in a shed who liked to tinker.
Similarly many people have train sets and make model airplanes...
It's a strange thing that large amounts of the country seem to enjoy for no apparent reason... apart from the fact we are totally awesome...
That reminds me... i really need to get my flag changed... not having the Union Jack just seems... wrong.

I thought you were from America? *shock horror*

I don't have a think about spelling and grammar, being from " up north we have developed our own language that is completely phonetic. most like the Orks... (was actually reading a BL book on orks and thought they were just talking with a Yorkshire accent ;P) all wearing flat caps, tweed and having pet whippets

And yes that is how lotus was born

Damn northerners...
And, no I am indeed British, i drink tea and have a nice shiny passport built for smacking custom officials round the face with whilst shouting "out of the way I am British"...
My flag went on holiday for some reason and i decided it might be fun to have this one for a bit...

was i at the storm bolter of the Hell's bane if so how many space commies did i kill in my first batlle, or was i just spinning in my harness at the excitment of being in the middle of the fighting

I laughed so much at that Don't say your a bloody southerner???

Midlands... not quite South but not quite North... but not enough of either to understand what the hell either of you are saying...
That said i'm almost in Wales considering how close we are to the border...

You mean.. my favorite car was actually created by a bunch of tinkers? That's awesome! I wish I was that mechanically inclined :(

Explains why it actually isn't that expensive, considering what it can do. (Talking specifically about the Lotus Elise)

You'll find most things invented by the British are often made in a shed by people with a fairly loose grasp on reality...

I don't even own a passport... never traveled out of the country. Would like to though. Maybe some day.

You'd think that but Britain has a way of making nutters in a very special way... it's enough to make you proud to be British... in a strange way.

You should. Wonderful people can be found in the world... as well as some tasty food.

Money is the main issue.

Yeah i can see that...
Shame really but go figure...

Isn't it always?

Whenever I have money to spare it goes to video games, 40k or WHFB.

Well they don't call it plastic crack for the lulz... well they kinda do but they have a pont when they do...

You ever get the "mUst Buy MOAR PlaStic mEN" feeling?

I like to call it Shiny syndrome...
Yes i do from time to time.
It makes my wallet sad...

It makes my wallet sad, my girlfriend angry and me happy like a child in a candy store. "All the new models to assemble and paint! All the converting! Oh the joy!"

Ha ha ha
I know that feeling...

I like the hobby very much. She doesn't that much. In her opinnion the painting part is fun but the amount of miniatures is a bit too much. I happen to collect 6 different armies.

I can see her point in this...

Yeah. So can I.

Britain ftw, we beat the Germans twice at was, showing we have a natural aptitude for war, reflected in our skill at controlling little plastic men, that rock

Here are da results of da battle wit dem Tau:

I went around shootin me storm bolter and killin a couple of fire warriors.

Brother Amanax killed 3 fire warriors, a broadside battle suit, and a piranha, unfortunately Brother Sergeant lost his main turret but survived

Brother Captain Sam went roar and killed things

As for Tac Squad Death to Xeno's Brother Simythius killed a couple of fire warriors and managed to take the rail gun turret off the Hammerhead (so picture in your head a tank with its turret, then comes a missile, missile hits turret but doesn't blow up, instead it keeps going while ripping the rail gun off with it and the Tau inside look up and says "Well that sucks")

lol awsome i guess i didn't kill anything then oh well better luck next time
