Considering how many times I go there a year I never realised there were traintracks behind it.

It always amazes me though, with the Space Marine Statue and Eagle on the front of the building it really does look like some sort of Nazi Indoctrination Camp...

People are like dice, a certain Frenchman said that. You throw yourself in the direction of your own choosing. People are free because they can do that. Everyone's circumstances are different, but no matter how small the choice, at the very least, you can throw yourself. It's not chance or fate. It's the choice you made.

Funnily enough the aquila has been 'noticed'. Local taxi drivers know the building as the Reichstag, if you go to Warhammer World (not that I do) and ask for the 'Reichstag' to a good local taxi driver they take you right there. The aquila is actually bigger than the real Imperial Eagle, which has been in Moscow since 1945.

n'oublie jamais - It appears I now have to highlight this again.

It is by tea alone I set my mind in motion. By the juice of the brew my thoughts aquire speed, my mind becomes strained, the strain becomes a warning. It is by tea alone I set my mind in motion.

Then you can pretend to bombard Jervis' office into oblivion.

On a side note, I think I figured out why Jervis' column is so well, disjointed and nonsensical, I think he might be, to say the least, special(I mean no offense, just thought the pic was funny).....

Oh look at that photo. It contains something that was great but was left to rot and be ignored by GW to the point where it just exists in a sort of stagnant state, despite its previous popularity, never to be renewed or revitalised for the good of all.

There's also a picture of Blood Bowl in the background.

I wonder if Jervis cries himself to sleep at night, due to all the horrible things we say about him. Then again many of his scribblings and writings have made me cry, seems just fair that we do the same I guess.

At any rate, nice find oni.

I never knew his dad was Richard Johnson, that's interesting. Guess swimming in money has been a lifelong affair.
