The kids can do that themselves mate.

All we have to worry about is the man-eating Roos, @xendark, do you need spider or roach repellent? il send it with my wombatt.

Games Workshop started in the UK, there is a GW in most big cities over here, and we have warhammer world. And America is just a big country.

Well....I can understand Bronx talk....Jersey slang...Boston Irish Americanized accent....Wisconsin burr...California "Dude"....Two that tripped me out. Louisiana deep Cajun and German females talking like their hosting MTV. Asians depending if I know them...trying to make the "L" sound.

Now I know why you guys like WWE - because someone can jump into the ring most of the way through the fight, and then claim victory

We always liked a good climax, why draw out the boring bits when there's fun to be had

It's all about the foreplay

There totally are.

You see them all the time on the news, often preceded by "bombing has begun in".

"Bombing has begun in Canada. Canadian Government officials have offered their sincere apologies to all involved. There has been global condemnation of the widespread bombings, with the US and Britain offering their condolences to those affected and calling for tighter security to be put in place to stop it happening again. UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has urged for talks between the groups involved in the latest spate of bombings, and has warned that sanctions may be put in place if a suitable agreement and conclusion is not reached.

Meanwhile, authorities across the globe have been asked to be alert for anyone attempting to carry out copycat bombings in the wake of this latest tragedy. There is split opinion amongst the public, however, with people quoted as saying that current regulations are "already too restrictive" and that "not enough is being done to allow for this sort of thing to occur under freer conditions", although most people hold a different view, with some saying that "[the] rules are there for the good of everyone" and that "bombing is a reckless act that risks the lives of innocent people, as well as ruining lives.".

Whilst there is difference of opinion, the fact that there are clear warnings against this sort of act speaks only of the need for further action to be taken against those who ignore such signs, and those who allow these acts to occur under their watch.

You know that wargaming was pretty big in UK before Citadel existed set up right?

Games Workshop wrote:No it didn't we invented wargaming one night down the pub when Jervis Johnson said "Waaagh" and we all laughed and then John Blanche drew the Emporah and we were all like "dood that could be a game!" and then Jes Goodwin made a Space Marine out of beer mats and then Tom Kirby said "Its all mine, mine I tells ya" and that's how it happened basically.

Seems pretty legit to me.

What are you talking about? There was nothing before "The Hobby"!

In my defense, the flag is from where my proxy is, not where I am. Usually.

Sadly it's true. And another Canadian.

That's classified.


Nah, I am in an undisclosed location though. And enjoying a nice cold bottle of sobe, to ward off the fear, out of the ice chest we squeezed into Náströnd. It's a whale of a time. The internet in my lap, a 90mm and controls for four anti-tank missiles on my one side, a beer dispenser on my other. The US Army may have the most advanced weapons in the world, but they are novices when it comes to the fine art of carrying one's drink into combat. I've seen how they do it. Putting that delicate case of glass bottles out on top the tank, exposed, as part of their exterior stowage, where running into the shuck might bounce it off. For the love of god, what if it goes arseways and the enemy were to shoot the Gat? Then what?

It would be a terrible war crime what follows, I tell you.

90mm Eh....

There's a community of Canadians on here.

Were a happy mix of American and British. So we get along just fine. Hell the Englishmen and the Yanks get along just fine too.

Just don't mention a certain tea party and revolt.

English born and bred. I'd like to say proud as well, but these days....maybe not.
