Post by: Leon on 07 August 2013, 05:29:18 PM
Righty then, the missus and the kids are going away to Brighton for a week to visit her sister-in-law.  This means the house will be mine, no kids shouting and making a mess, no one to wake up when I get home at daft o'clock in the morning.  So, what should I do to occupy myself?!

Beer.  Definately beer.  And do all that stuff you can't when they are there.
Title: Re: What should Leon do?!
Post by: Matt J on 07 August 2013, 05:33:18 PM
all of the above (that's the first day sorted)

Title: Re: What should Leon do?!
Post by: Nosher on 07 August 2013, 05:34:11 PM
Like you need to ask...

Totty + Beer= WINNER

However, one does have to ask; How often do you sit around naked playing the Xbox ;D ;D ;D
Title: Re: What should Leon do?!
Post by: OldenBUA on 07 August 2013, 05:36:13 PM
Yes, basically all of the above. With a beer, ofcourse. And some Rammstein, as well.  m/

Sex ist eine Schlacht, Liebe ist Krieg!

Should explain why wargaming is so popular.

Take time to yourself, try boredom, go for a walk, have a meal somewhere where the food isn't deep fried and/or teddy bear shaped, and visit somewhere new and interesting.
Then beer, band of brothers and start that the diorama, whilst sitting naked playing the Xbox...

Having a meal somewhere could be on the cards, it sounds better than having to cook for myself every night...  :D

Title: Re: What should Leon do?!
Post by: fsn on 07 August 2013, 07:15:17 PM
Actually I was thinking "Band of Brothers" is sh*te, married men shouldn't indulge in totty hunts (leave that to we singles), I've only just received an order, grown men shouldn't play cowboys and indians without a six year old present, and finally, I don't want to think of Leon doing anything naked. (Basically, because I don't have a female totty avatar for him.)

I just assume his default setting is "Centurion delay".  
Title: Re: What should Leon do?!

Funny but, I have always had this (Disc World like) image in my head of my bearded Dwarves head banging to Rammstein... maybe even at the Mended Drum.

I'd vote for anything that doesn't include "Do more hours at work casting up your orders?"

Nobody lay on their deathbed and wished they'd spent longer at work.

Wishing they'd played more XBox naked on the other hand ........  :o :o :-[ ;D ;D ;D ;D

Being in the "family gang" myself, we both know that you're going do more work then come home and flake out.

I think for a good chunk of the week you should sit around doing nothing and watch crap on tv.  The rest of the the time you can just waste  :)

A WEEK without children!  :o  I'd bite your arm off if you'd offer me 48 hours ;)

Radical suggestion: why not play a wargame!?  :-\

Middlesbrough seems to be crawling with forum members. Surely one - or more - could squeeze you in for a session or two?  :D

Worst case scenario: grab yourself a dungeon pack and play solo. What adults do on their dinning room tables is their own concern, so whilst the lead and resin may be naked in this case, we will only require a batrep and photos if you choose to keep your hat on...!   ;)

Have a relaxing time!

Gentlemen,
It has struck me like a train that we have missed the only answer, maybe because the thought of it sends shivers into the soul of every married man....

The DIY list that is presented as our beloveds leave the house.

You know the one, all the little jobs that need doing, that actually cost a fortune and take all day!

Shudder.

The one I always remember is changing a simple light switch......What could go wrong ?
Swap wire for wire......5 minutes.....Tops
HAH !
The oik that had put the original in place had left less than NO slack on the wires in the little box......In fact the wires were stretched and pulled back once unscrewed......No way they'd reach to the fixings in the new unit....Had to run in new wiring from the attic....Think that took me about 4 hours in the end.

No chance of drilling through a cable that isn't anywhere NEAR where you expect it to be....'Cos it's coming down the wall at a 45 degree angle.
Got the tee-shirt.....Thanks for the reminder 'F'....I'd forgotten about that particular 'quick and easy' job.

Takeaways are definitely on the cards, and I might even push myself to a beer!  I've got some work-related bits which need doing as well (not casting, stuff I can do at home), like the newsletter, updated Top 10 requests, Smoggy stuff, etc.  So I'll get BoB watched while I'm doing those. 

First job on Sunday will be getting the Sci-Fi pics up as well!

I'll be getting the Sci-Fi range added to the website this afternoon (although the pics may have to wait until tomorrow night, as I didn't get them all cast up in time unfortunately) and I'm going to stick BoB on while I'm working.

I know, it's getting quite frustrating on that front.  Whenever I find 5 minutes to work on it, something comes up, or something gets in the way.  At the moment, we're waiting on some more mould rubbers to arrive so we can do a new walker/dreadnought mould.
