Greetings from Sunny Birmingham

[Linstock]

Hello all!

Started out playing all sorts of GW games but just sort of ran out of steam and affection for the whole setup. Thought I might give historical wargames a try and stumbled into this place. The mood altering brain parasites they keep in the ducts here have kept me busily Making Plans for a while now much to the concern of my friends and family. I saw the worthy people at Pendraken had kindly provided this support group for the similarly afflicted and thought I should join in before the condition worsens...

Hello and welcome!

Hi Linstock and welcome to the Forum.  It sounds like you'll fit in rather well...

You took the words right out of my mouth, Leon !

A very warm welcome to the madhouse forum, Linstock.

Welcome Linstock! Enjoy your journeys here.  Incidentally the REALLY serious parasites here are in the ducks! If you are offered foils gras recommend you take a pass.

Hi, Linstock. Now you've gone and done it.

Have you ever seen Invasion of the Body Snatchers (original or 1978 remake)? If so, you will note that Pod and Pendraken begin with "P."  So, when the postman arrives and delivers what you think is an innocent Pendraken package, whatever you do, DO NOT GO TO SLEEP!

You have been warned ........

S'up Lin?

Historical is a big period. Have you refined your choice a little?

Sunny Birmingham? How are things in Alalbama?

[d_Guy]

mi'Lord - I think he is from the West Midilands one 

[Leman]

I am also assuming Alabama. How are y'all and welcome to the forum.

OK, let's confirm. Linstock - Red Mountain?

[Leman]

Isn't that a brand of coffee?

My money's on Brum.

Not the State that Lynyrd Skynyrd sang about. (I was listening to that this afto'  )

Cheers - Phil (Who cheated a teeny weeny bit before he decided on Brum)

He said "sunny". That excludes the West Midlands, just as "frenetic Kingston" is not in Jamaica, "happy-go-lucky Kingston" is not on the Thames and "sparkling Middlesborough" has never been said.

Sunny Pembrokeshire ?........Well, it was today. 
(Makes a sodden (sic) change.)
