I'm not 100% sure what Fake News is, but since the media seemed quite occupied with it at the present time and I hate feeling left out, I feel compelled to share with the world, that last night I dug out my TWO Pendraken Napoleonic army packs that have been on the 'next thing to do list' for too long and primed, painted (with tri-colour shading), based and varnished them...... all in 4 hours.
My camera is of course broken.
I think you are getting the hang of this fake news quite well. Perhaps add in several mentions of how great you are, then it will be perfect. ;)
;D

I'm still struggling. Was that a lie or an alternative fact? :)
I'm thinking 'alternative fact'.... because we can in all honesty picture the painted armies in our head... so it's not a total lie.
Maybe it's not 'post-truth' but 'pre-truth' - assuming they might, just might, eventually get in front of that camera in a fully painted state once it's mended ...
This morning, I can't seem to find my two armies anywhere. I know they exist and are painted, because I just read it on the internet.
I feel I should point out that Wiki has just decided to not allow the Daily Fail to be used as a reliable citation due to their fake news habits. Did Lord Rothermere tell you you'd painted those armies of yours, Norm...

You can't find them because you sold them for £2 million quid each on Ebay as "rare and out of production miniatures" ;D
Dang! Glad my bid didn't win.

You were sniped at the last minute by the tooth fairy - obviously trading in children's teeth is very lucrative, but a bit risky in this day and age.
Judge: You were sneaking into a childs bedroom at night?
Tooth fairy: Yes M'Lud. to take the teeth from under the pillow
Judge: So you rummage around in a childs bedding?
TF: Yes M'lud
Judge: and you cliam this is "normal behaviour - Take him down !!!
We haven't had a rumour about the Evil Empire for a long time...........

I might have got the wrong end of the stick here, but I was under the impression that "Fake News" is in fact true facts that you do not like. Or is that just the political definition of "Fake News"?

Umm, not sure. I thought that if there are true facts you do not like, don't you just present alternative facts?

You're right. at least if you're speaking of Tom Watson!
Alt-facts is the "different truth (a lie)" from Trump &eco.

Yes, like the following about Brexit. "The British people did not vote to leave the European Union, less than 34% of the voting age population voted leave!" Or "The British people did not vote to leave the European Union, less than 38% of registered voters voted leave!". Alternative, yes. Facts, yes. Relevant..........?????

At the risk of diverging into politics, as thin & rubbish a mandate to leave the EU that the advisory only referendum produced, in terms of the woeful system we possess its the most massive result in decades. Far better than the Omni then Uni shambles managed to get total control of Parliament and form "governments"!
If we had to have an actual majority in favour of a result we'd have needed a do over for pretty much every election except
The '45!
And that's enough politics!! ;)
How about a polite ox?
Better than an impolite ox, for sure!

:-\ From this side it looks as though it leans slightly to the right.
(Though, I suppose, from the other side it would appear left of centre......politics eh ? )
Cheers - Mr Silly.
Deeply political post that - its blocking the right to roam!
All roams lead to Leeds, or is it all leads roam to Rome?
That post has its root in the land, but has been tied, by the barbarity of the wire, with others of its kind into immobility in a sterile landscape.
Non-political, eh?
Now I have "Hanging on the old barbed wire" humming thru my brain...
Any negative posts about Napoleonics are fake news written by bad people. Nobody knew napleonics could be so complicated. We will replace them with something to make wargaming great again. Sad.
