In the name of the Dark Lord, M'lady and the casting Dwarves , my last confession was many years ago.(Actually I'm not Catholic so never confessed)
They say the Devil makes work for idle hands........ Well, I had a rather uneventful set of nights and while bored and trawling the internet I looked at my Amazon account, ordered something and realised that I had Phil's address set up as a option. ( I had ordered some CDS as part payment for some work Phil had done.)
The intricacies of the internet then flagged up "items of interest" which included First Aid Kits (Mrs Orcs had looked at them) on Amazon.
This then triggered an evil thought and guessing that Nobby would get the blame I ordered stuff for Phil's address. I even pre-warmed Nobby that he would probably get the blame by sending him am IM entitled "you will probably get the blame for this."
My guess proved to be correct and I sat back and enjoyed ensuing forum activity.
In my defence I blame
Not having enough work to do
The Internet for linking things together
Mrs Orcs for looking at First Aid Kits
Techno for being accident prone
And last but by no means least......Nobby for being there as a scapegoat
So while It might have been me it was not really my fault!
And now my act of Contrition
O Dark lord , I am heartily sorry for having offended you and I detest all my sins (actually that's not correct, some of them I positively enjoy), because I dread the loss of Pendraken and the pains of Games Workshop . But most of all because I have offended you, Dark Lord, who are all good and deserving of all my orders. I firmly resolve with the help of M'lady, to confess my sins, to do penance (but not too much)and to amend my life(That would be boring). Amen.
Go, and do no more wrong. And post twenty messages calling impatiently for Aztecs, centurion tanks, Burmese Banana Wars, Huns, Cossacks, and more Aztecs.
So let it be written, so let it be done!
A full act of contrition would include saying 6 "Patter Leon's", 6 "Hail Dave's" and buying French, British, Prussian and Austrian 7YW armies. That should keep your naughty little fingers properly busy and away from Amazon.
Have to get the big 5 - don't leave out the Russians.

He already has; they're sitting ready for collection!
Ha!
Gentlemen ... and d_Guy.
I stand vindicated. I must thank Friend Orcs for his confession. I do not blame him, for it was a goodly jape, and well executed.
However, the rest of your rotten rotters who were so willing to point the finger ...
After Nobby pleaded his innocence...(I admit, I was SURE it was him at the beginning)......There was really only one person I thought might be guilty. ;D ;D ;D
Amazingly, I haven't had to use any of the plasters yet. Though they do fall out of the cupboard each time I open it.
Cheers - Phil (It was a jolly jape !)
I will now plot with Nobby how to get you back.

You're going to have to help Leon, Kitty.
Having FINALLY finished the last two back banners......I packed them all up....Looked for my crib sheet, to send as well, so that Leon would know 'what's what.'
Can't find it.
I know what a handful of them are.....But the rest. X_X
Ooops - Cheers - Phil
I dare do all that may become a man, if it gets those nifty little shinies into my greedy paws. (quoted from memory)
Ta, muchly, Kitty....
I think a couple are called 'jaguars'......I know which one's the musician. (He's easy peasy).....A 'conehead' (or two).....But what some of the 'grunts' and other warriors are called, I haven't got a clue, now.
Cheers - Phil

Perhaps I should order you the osprey book on Amazon :D
Bog Off !! ;D ;D ;D ;D
They're all packed up now.....and I'm not unpacking them again.
By the end of the day (please) I'll have finished off that Vickers m/g ...and then Leon can have a package containing enough stuff to give him fun for weeks.
I shall go and ask a question about the Vickers in a more appropriate thread, as well. :D
Cheers - Phil.

Ha! I knew that Orcs fellow was shifty.

Oh the irony if you wind up with nicks, cuts or bruises inflicted by falling First Aid supplies! :)

Last week a friend, who fortunately had one of my spare front door keys, rang the doorbell and, getting no answer let themselves in to find me sitting at my painting table, putty tool in hand.
"Why are you just sitting there? Didn't you hear the doorbell?"
"I did but couldn't get to the door."
"Oh! In the middle of something tricky?"
"Nope, accidentally superglued my hand to the table and the debonder is about six inches further away than I can reach!"
Doh! :)
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

A guy at work some 25 years ago pulled his own thumb completely off when his hand was being pulled into molten tin by his workglove... now that requires some strength! ...and determination... :o

That's an image that's going to be hard to shift. X_X X_X X_X X_X X_X X_X X_X

Prising my finger off the woodwork with a putty spatula (barely any flesh left behind) is one thing, cutting my pinkie off with a craft knife is a little drastic as a first step ;)
As just back from my hols, only now catching up on events - well done, Orcs! A great "jape" as Nobby would say! ;D ;D ;D =D>
Oh, and Mike, has your package from Amazon arrived yet? ;D ;D
