Oooh! What colour pills? Got any swapsies?


On a more serious note, hope your get your humours in balance.

Think you need to look at your black bile levels. 



Stay healthy.


You've got Koreans to make.

The recent failure, in a long line of failures, of the Mars probe has been put down to a number of possible reasons. The Daily Mail (taking over it's journalistic integrity from the Sunday Sport) has the real reason.

Martian anti-aircraft artillery!


Time to crack out those "All Quiet on the Martian Front" rules!

I've cleaned up the picture

Definitely an AA Gun!

Look after yourself Phil



We need you to keep pushing the putty

Orange & white, Nobby......No. (They didn't half knock my BP down last night ....one extreme to the other...and they're about the lowest strength you can get.)

Ta for the wishes. 

Cheers - Phil

So much for those pills working !

First day they did something...since then my BP seems to be getting higher and higher.
Doesn't help when the internet keeps playing silly b's when I really need it to be working properly.
Thought there was something wrong with the Forum this morning.....But it was the network connection....So goodness knows what I've missed, now. 

Cheers - Phil

Oh dear!

Back to the people in the white coats for you, Sir. Got to take care of you, you're a national institution.   

Thought there was something wrong with the Forum this morning..

There's something wrong with the Forum every morning. The forum is only right if it's wrong. If it was right, that would be wrong.

I've got to go back twice next week, Nobby......Once to see nursie for another blood test....and once to see the Doc, once the results are back.
On a brighter note, just had a phone call, which, with a bit of luck might bring my B/P down, as it was promising news.

Cheers - Phil

Happy words on Saturday: "Nothing wrong with your teeth, sir. Go home."

[fsn]

"We'll just pop them back in the box and you can take them home."

[FierceKitty]

There have been times when I've wished that were the case!

What do you think of this?

It' a peace monument in Lebanon. I spotted Charioteer, Sherman, T55, Saladin and more.

Wandering through my blog I found this from a few years back - Not sure I posted it here, but I did promo Pendraken

Wargamers Rhapsody - With apologies to Freddie Mercury...

Is this Renaissance?
Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a leadslide,
My escape from reality
Put out my figures, but your army's bigger, oh crap,
I'm just a poor bloke, I need more miniatures,
Because I'm easy meat, and paint too slow, don't roll high, always low,
Any way the dice fall doesn't really matter to me,
to me

Oh-no, I just killed a man,
Charged him on too far ahead, rolled my dice, now he's dead
Dammit, the game had just begun,
But now I've gone and thrown it all away
Oh-no, oo-ooh, Didn't mean to make them die,
I've got to play this game again tomorrow,
With no men, with no men, coz nothing now can save me

Too late, my reserves are gone,
I've got Artillery on my ranks, and his cavalry on my flanks.
Goodbye, ev'rybody, I've got to flee,
Gotta leave you all behind and quit the field
Oh hell, oo-ooh, I don't want to lose,
I sometimes wish I'd never played these rules at all
Coz nothing now can save me...

I see a little silhouette of a man,
Minus 2, minus 2, on your combat roll
Agincourt and Crecy, very, very messy
(buy more lead) buy more lead (buy more lead) buy more lead, buy more lead At a show, ow, ow, ow.

I'm just a poor Colonel, everybody beats me
I'm just a poor gamer with a lone sentry,
Spare me my figures from your huge army
Hard to paint, easy lose, will you take a draw
Surrender! We will not let you draw
(Let him draw!) Surrender! We will not let you draw
(Let him draw!) Surrender! We will not let you draw
(Let me draw) Will not let you draw
(Let me draw) Will not let you draw (Let me draw) Ah
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
(Oh Phil Barker, Phil Barker) 5th edition lets me win
Pendraken has an army put aside for me, for me, for me...

So you think you can flank me and use that old ruse
So you think you can charge me and leave me to lose
Oh, damn it, no matter how much I plan it,
Just gotta pack up, just gotta pack up my men now
Nothing ever works, Anything I try,
Nothing ever works,
Nothing ever works, for me
(Any way the smoke blows)
