I knew a Colin Hedge-Cutter once, he was very incisive in a closed environment but slowed down in open country.

Your man cave has two 5x9 ping pong tables set up that have never been used for ping pong.

You have conversations with an old friend in Sainsbury about the rule for ship wrecked elephants in DBMM

Country walks / bicycle rides are interrupted by pondering over visibility, lines of sight, terrain types and levels of cover.

Only Ele (X) in the new edition. Others automatically convert to Kt (I) if shipwrecked, unless supported by Bw (S) or .....

You friend boasts of having an eight incher and you immediately think "cruiser squadron".

I can empathise with that one as walking, including battlefield walking, is my other major hobby. I have also had that experience whilst travelling from Formby to Liverpool on Merseyrail. Behind Fort Crosby, just before Hall Road station, there is a wide expanse of farmland up towards Little Crosby and Blundell Hall - a marvellous field of fire if Jerry had landed on that part of the coast. It Reminds of the field of fire from St Marie aux Chenes to St.Privat (no idea how to get accents on this computer).

Once Dad retired from the Civil Service he worked part time as Safety Officer for a major London corporation.

They received bomb threats and the like from time to time and treated all of the incidents as potentially serious though, fortunately, none of them were while Dad was around.

On one occasion they received a bomb threat by phone that included an IRA code word.

Dad was brought in to the police interview with the girl who took the call and so was party to ...

Policeman: Was there anything distinctive about the caller? Anything about his voice that might tell us if this might be a genuine IRA call?
Receptionist: Nothing at all, he just sounded really ordinary.
Policeman: Well, for example, what sort of accent did he have?
Receptionist: He didn't have any accent at all.
Policeman: So, how did he sound?
Receptionist: Ordinary. Just like me.

She was from Belfast.

...you spend four hours driving through the beautiful Scottish and northern English countryside and just think about how inspiring it is for getting the finger out and making some terrain when you get back.

[mollinary]

You drive across a nice open ridge, down to a picture post card village in the valley, and wonder "What is the range from that hill to the edge of the village?" You organise a special trip to London. .... so you can spend five hours in the British Library researching which Prussian Dragoon regiments wore light blue, and which white, at the Battle of Kesselsdorf in 1745, in German language books over a hundred years old. Whoopeee!
