Title: New busiest month? - More posts needed!
Post by: Leon on 30 January 2015, 01:31:52 PM
We're almost on course for a new 'Busiest Month' on the Forum, with 4350 posts at the moment, very close to the top spot of 4585 posts from August 2013.  Can we get another 236 posts before midnight on Saturday night?!

(For those interested, the monthly stats can be found here: http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php?action=stats (http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php?action=stats), and the overalls can be seen in that little box to the top right of the screen, underneath the News Box.  We need the total Forum posts number to hit 141954...)

But doesn't quantity have a quality all of its own.

or - well we have to sacrifice quality to let you post.

or Is it something to do with strange head gear, odd tanks and chocolate bars.......

It's the "A" with the up and down arrow on it on the toolbar. Gives you a

which you can then change.


Matilda Armoured Car? Explain!

The Matilda company produced armoured cars which were used a lot by the Belgian cavalry as supports in 1914. I think the British in Antwerp also used them and some were sent to Russia as well (with Belgian crews). As far as I can tell the only company making them in a useable scale is Peter Pig in 15mm.

No, he's right. Only decent line in a Dicken's novel is in Oliver Twist, "Do not say you have seen me, Dick."
Title: Re: New busiest month? - More posts needed!
Post by: FierceKitty on 31 January 2015, 03:42:38 PM
Not questioning his opinions in my comment. But he seems to imply it's not a work of fiction, and that it's boring because it's a work of Dickens' fiction. True, the book is not stated to be a work of fiction in itself, but the rest of the post is meaningless without that inference.

And that, M'Lud, is the case for the prosecution.
Title: Re: New busiest month? - More posts needed!
Post by: Steve J on 31 January 2015, 04:23:00 PM
I had to endure 'Little Dorrit' as part my A level English :(. It was truly painful reading. However the BBC did a decent dramatisation of it a few years ago which I enjoyed.

I must have been lucky. We didn't have Dickens we had Greene's Brighton Rock for 'O' Level. Didn't read it then and never read it since...still managed a 'C' at English Literature despite that. Never read any Dickens or any of the other so called classics either. Tried Moby Dick once and ending missing out whole chapters while trying to find something interesting. Hmmm, was it serialised in one of the periodicals first I wonder? Give me a good Stephen King or Robert Heinlein and I'm happy.

As Kubrick rather indirectly points out, King can put together a good story, but his prose is utterly devoid of flavour.
