Have to admit I've been looking at them as a useful addition to the Second Barons' War. Meanwhile 2/3mm scenery taking shape, then may well look at putting together the Grand Duchy of Camberwick and Chigley Confederation (Schleswig-Holstein army pack) for the Trumpton Wars.

No.....

16...Because you posted somewhere else first.... =)

I've got four hundred and something before I get MY next promotion, which is far too close to a very rude word.

That reminds me, does anyone remember the Kenny Everett character, Cupid Stunt? 
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Certainly a very offensive word to use as an insult, but I'll be friggled if I can see why it's still considered taboo as a noun designating a body part. I may add I know quite a few women who agree.

Don't get it. After a Viscount, the next in the order of peerage is an Earl.

When Techno becomes an Earl, I think we should also confer upon him the OBE*, and then he can become an earlobe.**

Never thought I'd see the day when words like that could be used in a forum which children might visit! Shocking. Or, for the educated amongst us, o tempora! o mores!

I do apologise for my bad language. It was quite unintentional, and I'm sorry for any offence caused.


At least I didn't say Belgium.

Belgium - much underrated. We would have far fewer scenarios to contemplate were it not for Belgium, and no chocolate willys for Cupid Stunt.
