I am indeed.  Born on the chalk mate.

I married into a Scouse mob from Aigburth though...

4.  We have effective firewalls here so very few trolls get through.  As least, not troublesome trolls.  Weird trolls is another matter...

6.  This place can be VERY British at times.    Don't worry though, we might tease but we love you all!  Except people from Liverpool.  Or the Welsh.  Or Foreigners.  Or that bloke down the end of the painting bench, etc. etc.  

4. Can't think of a single person that would apply to....More than one....Yes !
6. Do you actually want me to make these figures, or what ?.....Consider yourself reported to the Moderators !
(B*gger...That'd be me, at the moment.  )...No.....I've just spotted Gordon's here too !...Huzzah !

Cheers - Phil

And a welcome from me too, Mr Axe (or should that be Ax?)

This is a very friendly and well informed forum. There are also so unnaturally skilled sons of a hundred fathers who can paint really, really well.

8.  I was going for the magic 10. but i feel i've run out of steam...

Some people may lack a little commitment ... so ...

8. There are a number of in-jokes. You'll soon get used to them.
9. It's a great place to ask for advice. Like I say, there are a lot of knowledgeable people around. Take Techno for example. He's an expert on the English Civil War, having carried a musket through most of it (see 8 ).
10. Dive in. The Pendraken forum is like bathing in custard. It's a bit of an odd activity, but more fun if you really immerse yourself in it, and a great way to spend time with friends.

Ok. By the way....whats a plonker?  We dont hear that in the States.

Ok. By the way....whats a plonker?  We dont hear that in the States.

Plonker is a term made popular by the UK TV programme "Only Fools And Horses" and is used to describe a stupid or incompetent person. The main character, Del Boy, often refers to his brother as,"Rodney! You plonker!" It is often a term of exasperation or even affection depending on circumstances.

Oh I need him don't I?

A plonker is an idiot.  Made famous in a Brit sitcom (Only Fools and Horses).

Matron (aka Techno) was suggesting it would be my new nickname.  Just ignore her though; she's just cranky because she's in pain most of the time and also can't use the preview button.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

It's a derogatory term, somewhere better than a whazzock, above pillock, worse than berk.

Usually applied to someone of purportedly low intelligence.
Often associated with 'Rodney, you plonker!'

Wow!
I stand corrected.
I just thought it was a derogatory term for anyone from Berkshire and/or an idiot!
Sorry. 

[getagrip]

Sorry. 

Very few people know that,  I did enjoy telling my mum about it too. 

[Vamboozle]
