On or about the 23/3/15 i sent an order in by E-mail (as I normally do). When I'd had no confirmation of anyone receiving my order I sent another e-mail yesterday, so far this hasn't been confirmed either.
Normally the 'order elves' are pretty quick about sending confirmations (usually within 24-36 hours) followed swiftly by the Bill!
So far I've heard nothing and I'm beginning to think I've unintentionally upset someone!
D.
I think Leon is away at the moment, I placed an order and a follow up email and haven't heard back yet.
Also, Leon hasn't posted on the forum for a couple of days. :)
Yes......Leon is away for a couple of days.
No worries....He'll be back soon. :)
Cheers - Phil
Take it you are using him as a model to allow them to cast more clones ?
IanS
Techno - That explains it. :)
Leon is undoubtedly in conference with the 'Dark One', or of course just (hopefully) taking a few days off and re-charging his batteries.
Hmmm, I knew including 'Jim' in my last order would be pushing the bounds. :D
Leon away AGAIN?
I think there needs to be questions asked.
Techno - go and ask questions.
I have.....I asked Dave ! ;D ;D ;D
Cheers - Phil
Good grief are you telling me that if one entity goes away for a couple of days the entire festering edifice come tumbling down!?
This will not do, questions should be asked in the house, heads need to roll, hostages taken and executed!!!
Failing that I'll just have to wait 'til he comes back then...darn. :(
Guess I will just have to work out my next order, that will teach Leon to have time off! ;D ;D
Techno, you know when I said go and ask questions? Very good, asking Dave. That bit was right. However, this crayon and drool stained piece of cardboard I have here, doesn't really tell me what I want to know, but yes you did get a lot of answers. Let's review shall we?
It's not news about the bears and the woods, and of course he's Catholic, it's in the job description.
No, it was never called Shorpe. Nobody put anything into it to make it Scunthorpe.
I don't care who put the bomp in the bomp-ba-bomp-ba-bomp, not indeed who put the ram in the rama-lama-ding-dong - even if it was Fenton.
What's this? Is it a bit of finger? What did you do? ... Really? ... Uh-huh. Right. And could you juggle before this? No. Well, don't you think it was a bit optimistic for a first go? Yes. Well, just put the finger into your pocket and you can get it sown back later.
Shall we continue? "Given the choice between a large wading bird and a billy goat, most people can tell the difference between stork and butter"? *sigh* That's not really what the question was originally about, but it's a good try.
What does this say? Well I'm shocked! I didn't know you knew that language. What was the question? "What is it called when you cross a bulldog and a shih tzu?" Oh well, that makes sense. Fair enough then.
"In the bushes"? And the question to that would be ... "Romeo, Romeo wherefore art thou Romeo?" I see you've got a few like that. Let me see if I can guess.
"Next Tuesday, same time, same place unless it's raining when it'll be in Betty's." Would that be "when shall we three meet again"? It would. Oh good.
"A softer pencil for shading, harder for line." Is that the Bard's Hamlet soliloquy? It's "to be or not to be", not "2B or not 2B". I mean, it doesn't continue "whether it is nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of cross hatching", does it?
"I'd rather you didn't". Not a clue. What's the question? "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?" Quite obvious really. Silly me for missing it.
Please don't bite your fingernail. Put it back in your pocket, there's a good chap.
No I don't carry seed in my pocket. Why? Well it's not true so you'll have to find another reason why birds suddenly appear, every time I am near. Have you been struck on the head recently? Oh. you have.
What's this scrawl? It's a proof of Goldbach's conjecture? Yes, yes, yes, I know what Goldbach's conjecture is - every even integer greater than 2 can be expressed as the sum of two primes - let me just ... look ... no, see here. You forgot to carry the 2. Good effort, but wrong. Totally and utterly wrong.
Look, cut along to matron and get a stitch for the finger. Yes, that would be a problem, Well couldn't you just sort of face one way and say "boo hoo I cut off my finger" and then turn the other way and say "there, there"? Good, good, well give it a try, and if you can't use the needle, I've a stapler you can borrow.
How the blank did you know I cut my finger, this evening ! *
Or were you just working on the balance of probabilities.
Cheers - Phil.
*I left my little finger under a potato....and pressed down hard with one of those sharp things....Ooops ! :-[
It's Wednesday, so it's fingers. Toes at the weekend.

Quick get the Holy water out!....No wait he's from Wales it won't affect him
What can we use?
Have you tried mixing in egg white?
Holy merangue? Does that work?

Water from Holywell.

Don't know. But it might be funny to see egg white dripping from him ..... and the mongooses (mongeese?) might attack him! (Yes. They're still lurking about. They eat eggs
and carrion.)
[On second thoughts, I wouldn't like to see dear old Phil attacked by mongooses - how about a good licking from them instead? :P]

Don't have an answer for that. Yet. :-[
Wow, two days off and there's a search party out for me! We had friends visiting from Cornwall so I took a couple of days off to show them the sights of Middlesbrough. (Before anyone else says it, this involved driving out of Middlesbrough...)

Apologies for the delay on that, we didn't receive the first email for some reason? I've replied to the second one now.

We've received the order, thanks for that. I've not got any emails though, when was that sent?

Hmmm....That's interesting. :-\
Knowing how prompt you are at responding, I'm wondering whether you got the one from me, regarding Dave's recent 'request'.
I also know of two mails I sent out to a forum member that went wandering off into the ether.....Had to send them again.
I'll PM you.....That seems more reliable, a lot of the time.
Cheers - Phil

:o Surely the most important and interesting thing about Middle-borough is the Pendraken Caverns? You could have shown them the casting machines, then whilst they weren't looking - on with the shackles and two more Pendraken "volunteers".

We did bring them here to have a look around, it's interesting showing people what we actually do/make and seeing their reactions...! :D Most folks are quite impressed with it all, especially the skills of the sculptors.
Leon - The serious questions are:
- will the present premises be large enough as Warband takes off?
- what about when you relaunch BKC?
- no worry about zero-hour contracts in the Pendraken Caverns - have you got the casters on 120 hour contracts?
- have you got enough casting machines?
- have you bought up the world production of casting metal for the next 3 years?
And of course the most important questions of all:
- have you produced enough clones of yourself to carry on when you are exhausted? (Look what happened when you absconded, went AWOL over the weekend)
- have you got Techno personal accident insurance? (And if so please tell us the name of the company mad enough to insure him so that we all know not to invest in it! )
And any news on my order? ;)
I mean two days off though! Without notifying!
Would you let the keeper of the penguins at Chester Zoo wander off for two days without telling anybody to go sightseeing? Are surgeons allowed to troll off looking at standing stones leaving some poor old biddy half way through a hip replacement? Are teachers allowed to desert their classrooms at a whim? No. I think not.
What I think needs to be mentioned here is the elephant in the room. There's a ruddy great elephant in the room, and I don't like where he's got his trunk. You see this is what happens when zoo keepers don't pay attention.
Pendraken isn't just a company producing 10mm loveliness. It's not even on the level of a club or society, it's more of a vital service supporting those of us with LMA (Lead Miniature Addiction).
I had to buy another T35 from Minifigs. I'm so, so sorry.

The LoA order has gone out in Tuesday's post, and the Picts have been moulded as well.
What about my order that you only received 3 hours ago and I've only just paid for? Is that in the post?
Tsk!

There's a pic of some of the greens here....

There's another photo of a couple of others a few pages on.
Don't be confused by some of the posts.....This was where Nobby and I were playing silly sods last April 1

Lets hope they're on the way. I definitely want some for Dux Britanniarum.
Woot! :) <:-P :-bd m/ :-bd

Only kidding, thanks for sorting all of that out for me Leon :)
So to summerise this thread
"I've put an order in a week ago, haven't heard anything"
"Leon's on holiday"
"Oh OK"
That should be the end of it.
3 pages of idiocy follows.
Hmmmm. Hussar, you do realise that you are on the Pendraken Forum right? What else could be expected?
(Mind you I don't think Aztecs or Centurians have been mentioned yet in this thread. Damn I just did! :o )
