...you can't resist getting drawn into the argument when there's a Hollywood vs history thread.

...you watched a GoT battle scene and found yourself thinking "-1 vs airborne, reroll for charisma special effect..."

...you're in a train in Tuscany and find yourself looking out of the window at those ravishing landscapes and trying to work out the best approach for a squadron of gensd'armes.

...you instinctively hold the lid of a pot like a buckler in your left hand and the wooden spoon like a sword in your right until your better half reminds you to stir the curry.

...the word Tango doesn't make you think primarily of a passionate Argentinian dance.

...you think Barry Lyndon is a war movie.

...you think Miranda Otto looks better in a mailshirt than nude.

Just for those who do not know who Miranda Otto is (and an excuse to put up pictures of an attractive woman)

You've had a nice night at the pub, you come home, your wife goes to bed ... and you think to yourself ...   B) 
... I'll dig out the paints and do some cross belts.


p.s. what a disaster when you view your efforts the next day.  #-o
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

You look at an eggshell and wonder if it would be any use crushed up as a basing material ...

The plumber tells you need to replace the tank and you picture Panzer 3 / Sherman / Centurion before realising he means the water tank.

Any mention of a Hedgehog and you think beach defences.

You always call tins of Corned beef "Bully Beef"

You think the main purpose of High Street coffee shops is to supply strips to stick your figures to before painting.

When out shopping you spend more time looking at stuff thinking "can I use that for wargaming" than you spend looking at the stuff you have gone to buy.

The plumber tells you need to replace the tank and you imagine he means the water tank until you realise you've picked up a rather nicely painted IS-2 and he'd like you to put it back on the table so he can get on with firing.

Any mention of a Hedgehog and you think beach defences ASW.

You always call tins of Corned beef "Bully Beef" "Corned Dog" or "Alte Mann"

You think the main purpose of High Street coffee shops is to supply strips to stick your figures to before painting seating and sustenance while you peruse your freshly acquired wargaming items.

When out shopping you spend more so much time looking at stuff thinking "can I use that for wargaming" than you spend looking at that you forget to buy the stuff you have gone for.

Don't need to ... it's what Cullin Hedgerow Cutters are made from (among other sources) :)
