The other days we were discussing next years main  Holiday.  We had looked at a number of options and not come to amy real conclusion.  So I suggested we looked at Thailand as one of the Guys at Tring Club had just come back visiting his sons in-laws and had a really great time.

THe conversation went like this

Orcs:  How about Thailand?

Mrs Orcs:  Thats a long flight, but it might get you away from all your little men!

Orcs:  It would get me away from mine, but I might be able to get a game in

Mrs Orcs : I dont think you have much chance in Thailand

Orcs : I might be able to meet up with one of the guys on the Forum

Mrs Orcs: Doing Victor Meldrew impression " I DON'T Believe it!!!!  Until I met you I had never even hear of wargames , or met a wargamer.  We fly 12 hours round the world to the far east and you still find a Flipping game!!

Orcs:  ;D ;D ;D ;D  but I think Thailands out

Only fair to point out that I'll be in Italy in December, 12th-28th. Anyone know any gamers in Venice?

It's arguably taking the "anorak nerd" concept to a new level too!

You realise that FK's house is a 'clothes optional' type of affair don't you?  The missus might not be as far away from the 'little men' as she thought she would be...!   :D

When in Rome - or Thailand ..........

I personally have no issues with a clothes optional lifestyle.  I have never tried it outside the privicy of my own home, but  I suspect being the only one fully clothed in an "unclothed" enviroment  could well feel more uncomfortable than divesting your own clothes.

Its if Mrs FK or even FK could  stand me in the nude - sorry for the mental images
