Nips and dumps? Speak English; you all voted to stay part of the union after all!
Happy Birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy Birthday dear Gareth! Happy Birthday to you!
45! Barely old enough to be out on your own!
;D
Probably right. :D
Hippy bidet owed fiend!

Nips and dumps (nothing to do with Japs and supply depots) is a birthday ritual I used to get "treated" to as a boy. Consisted of being held by your mates / fellow family members by the limbs, lifted into the air and dumped on to the ground, once for each year of your age. Sometimes with an extra "one for luck" (or simply let go! :o) ).
The mob Your chums then gave you nips for each year. :'(
I didn't think you Sassenachs would know about this but read somewhere its known as "Bumps" if you grew up in Birmingham? Anyone else know of this or were subject to some sort of birthday ritual as a child?*
* or adult ..... now that might get too interesting ....
An aquatic ungulate, an avian and a pair of female ovines!*
*Hippo, birdy, two ewe!
Bumps...thought it might be that. ;)
Seriously, we spent all that time and money conquering them and they still won't use the language!

OUR king took over YOUR kingdom and we still haven't taught you to speak properly! :D
It's not just Brits and Americans that are divided by a common language.

Happy birthday! That's disturbingly close to mine :D
Sadly the only free cash present I have is an Amazon voucher so no 10mm goodness for me...

Boo! :(
Should be getting my ACW's this week. Happy happy, joy joy. :D
When's yours then Nathan?
Was last Saturday :)
I suspect my voucher will go on either a copy of the D&D starter boardgame, or some 15mm PSC tanks...

Why is it inside you never feel much older than about 20?
I still wonder who the old git is who is living in our mirror :-\
Tell me about it!
Somewhere around twenty I stopped aging...
Happy birthday!

Wich one? I have castle ravenloft and wrath of ashardalon sitting on my table. You talking about the dungeon command set?

Yep!
Now it's just that my body lets me down. :'(
The fifteen quid one with cardboard stand ups, it fits my voucher exactly ;)
I'd like the proper ones with minis but too pricey for my blood! Although I do have some of the Drow figures from one of them for nefarious bad guy purposes ;)

It's a "D&D-lite" game, thought me be fun for a quick blast between "real games", and good in a few years for my wee one to join in :)
Instead I got winterised jeeps and an M8 Greyhound for my 15mm Yanks!

I'm more used to seeing that in a somewhat ruder message :D
Did Americans ever do up the straps of their helmets? Or was that an invitation to a broken neck, like the British one?

For what I've read, they thought they might get decapitated in case of explosion. Some generals ordered them to attache their helmets, but ...
No, your English is fine :)
It's usually captioned something ruder - "How about a nice big cup of "shut the f- up"" ;)

Even for many whose native language it is, it is not ;) Or at least not maybe from the mangling of it we make.
Still, we get our point across, eh!
Peter - it's a re-re-reprint of of a late '70s era classic :)
I remember skipping it when i was looking to buy castle ravenloft ;D
I really wanted one with miniatures :D
Yeah, it's not actually D&D and has no actual mini's :D
Really annoyingly, after the order I actually made has just been shipped I've noticed that if I'd known the pack codes for FoW I could have had two extra jeeps for nearly the same price by getting a "Cavalry Recon" pack instead of the M8 Greyhound on its own :(

My ACW's arrived today, woo hoo!
Have to say, I'm very disappointed with the Zouaves; I ordered a pack of 30 but actually received 31.
Just can't trust anyone these days. :D
Now I've got to work out how to paint em! :-\ :-SS
:D
When I paint Zouaves, I often see red. >:( ;)
