birthday club

[fsn]

Is it someone"s special day today?

Do you want to tell the rest of the class about it? Or shall I?

[paulr]

That almost sounds like a threat

[fsn]

What could I possibly have posted in the past that could lead you to such a decision?

Congratulations Phil

Happy birthday Phill !

I am a little confused by "I'm now officially an OAP !".  I think your telling porkies, as we all know you went to school with Methusalah,  Got absolutely ratted on Raki with Aristotle and Plato.   Allegedly sampled  the delights of Nell Gwynn before Charles ll found her, and acted as Ade de camp to Wellington at Waterloo.  

I might have to go on Amazon to find something appropriate.  I wonder if they do Plasters with "65 today on" ?

[fsn]

Oh! You as well Techno?

Oh well.

Happy Birthday, Techno! 

[Leman]

Nice one Phil - the extra £500 doesn't half come in handy.

I think, Gentlemen, we should take the opportunity to reflect upon our colleague, and dare I say it, friend?

Yes, these have been posted before, but I think we can all (well maybe all bar one) enjoy them again.

I think here, Techno started on one figure ... but changed his "mind" half way through

Notice on the 2nd panel, Techno is described as "The Ancient One" ... and that was when that hairstyle was probably in fashion.

Something up to date  - "A plus point about the heads is that they actually fit in the neck joint properly, with no issues of giraffe neck or major trimming required"

And of course, we shouldn't forget Techno's medical problems, which he may have mentioned elsewhere. Is it coincidence that Teresa May is now banning plastic straws? Could this, in fact, be Techno's biggest achievement? 

Happy Birthday Phil. You're a gentleman.

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

Thought you'd been drawing a pension for 150 yrs...

[FierceKitty]

Several happy returns! 

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Many happy returns boss!

[Ithoriel]

Just under three months older than me. And there was me thinking you were a youngster.

Many happy returns.

Happy Birthday, Auld Yin. 

Hope you manage to get to do something special today.

Impressive work over the years centuries btw .. as always. 

[petercooman]

Happy Birthday!

You are now oficially more than double my age!

[Techno]

I thank you all, gentlemen. 

Andy's right...The extra dosh will come in very handy.
Mark....I did say officially.

Nobby's post had me a bit puzzled over the Chaos All Stars team being sold on ebay.
There are some figures there that are definitely not mine...(And there's a few from the original team missing) ...Whereas some of the others were never produced as 'green' masters.....I converted and painted some figures.
It's as though some naughty person has stripped the paint off them and cast them up.

I sold the originals as a painted team YEARS ago.  Puzzling.

Cheers - Phil

some info here:

Seems your conversions have been made into models by Phil Bowen and were cast with permission from games workshop to give away at blood bowl tournaments.

Apparently they sourced the original models you used, tried to do the same conversion work and then casted them up in very limited numbers.

So nothing naughty. you know, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery!

ps: i think the guy running the tournament(s) could be the guy who bought your team, as the article states that the picture of your original team is taken in his display cabinet.

[Techno]

Thanks, Peter.

Now you've put that down it does ring a very slight bell, from ages ago
The chap that has  produced the figures has done a damn good job !
Had me fooled. I thought they WERE my originals. 

Cheers - Phil
