Title: Hello from Ruislip !
Post by: battlefront1162 on 10 May 2015, 11:48:04 PM
Where on earth is Ruislip you say !

Well its near Uxbridge in Middlesex

Long time lurker on the forum so about time I introduced myself and say hello

A few names are familiar from the BKC forums

Mainly into WW2 and ACW periods , but over 35 years of gaming have dabbled in virtually all periods

I have posted some pics on the WW2 Photo forum.  Your comments would be appreciated. There are so many fantastic painters here that it is hard not to learn something new from them !

Anyway enough from me

Look forward to talking to you all

Richard

Hi Richard,

Welcome! If you've been lurking you'll know what the forum is like. :)

Had a look at your WW2 British, very nice indeed. As is the FWC stuff. Both lots very nicely painted and based.

Cheers

Welcome

I had no idea where Ruislip was, not to worry as I don't know where Uxbridge is either

Have fun

Welcome Mr 1162.

Nice to see another person who appreciates a well turned out tank.

Is ACW experiencing a resurgence, or are we just getting older gamers on who remember it from first time around?

Welcome again.

All of the educated ones have studied in the SE, but only some of those who study in the SE become educated.

A wotcha from me in Kent...yes, that's in the SE as well.

I know where Ruislip is...I actually went there once, all the way from Southend...also in the SE.

I spent 28 years in Brum as a missionary trying to educate them in the ways of the south but eventually concluded that they are a lost cause.  ;) ;) :D

Welcome to the forum from me too, Richard.  :-h
You're not alone. A lot of us have 'lurked' before stepping forward and having our own "I'm Spartacus" moment!

Has anyone else noticed "I'm Spartacus" is an anagram of "I'm part scaus"?*   
* pronounce 'scaus' as in 'mouse'

No because people are more likely to admit to being Spartacus and be crucified than admit to being part scouse! :)

We need a larger cranium to accommodate our larger brains. :P

Ugh. Imagine having a chance to be in a Kubrick movie and ending up in that one! :(

I think I'd go for Eyes Wide Shut myself.
