What do you call a cricketer who scores 100 runs in one innings?

The health and safety executive have just gone onto full alert, chocolate being produced in molds used for lead!
The melting point is completely different for a start, and I bet the boys don't own a bains marie!  :P

I thought Leon was going to use icing sugar and use the resin moulds to produce them Will.
Might have got that wrong though. ;)

If you like them that much I'll cast you one in solid silver, if you have deep pockets, or gold (if you have very deep pockets).

I was just doing some calculations

If you take the number of posts away made by FSN and related posts made by the rest of us about FSN and his posts from the  total number of posts

I work out there would have been 356 posts made in total since the forum opened

Sorry about that.

It's just that I don't really have a social life. Since the divorce, and my daughter being away at university, well I don't really get to see anyone to talk to. With money being so tight and all, it's not that I can get out much, and the agoraphobia means that I'm stuck in most of the time. So I see the members of the forum as people that I can actually communicate with, us all having a common interest. I don't do Facebook or that kind of thing - no-one to "friend".

I keep myself busy with the hobby. Research and painting and gaming and planning what I'm going to buy, when I can afford to. At work, I'm seen as a bit strange. My job (Health and Safety and Quality) means that I'm seen as someone to be wary of, and I'll admit I don't socialise well. No interest in football or rugby which is like a self imposed ostracism round here. So I look forward to checking the forum. Everyone seems so friendly and knowledgeable. I love to see finished figures. In some ways I'm restarting in the hobby and I get so many ideas from the contributions.

However, if I'm generating too much irrelevant traffic, I apologise, and will confine myself to hobby relevant topics.

Sorry.

Certainly not, we like to strike a fine balance between the relevant and the irrelevant.  Something like a 5%/95% split is usually about right...  :D

Admittedly I don't post much, but I think this forum would be the poorer if you limited your posts.

The caption definitely said a Centurion - that's what I typed into the Not-Google.

I expected fsn to complain about the stuff obscuring the view
Title: Re: Question for fsn
Post by: fsn on 17 August 2013, 05:24:02 AM
Oh no. There's one thing can distract me from a Cent, and that's totty!

Very Weak.

It's a Mk 25 Cent, no of rivets on the mantlet, and boots the crew are wearing.

You should be happy he is not offering hourly updates.  :o
If this is to be a daily feature I insist the days are only subtracted IF fsn manages to post Centurion related Totty on that day. If he fails to satisfy the Totty committee (Nik, Leon) there will be a 10 day penalty added per transgression.  :d

I don't do Call of Cthulu. Criminals on Charges are of no interest, though Chicks offering Concessions may be of intriguing. I do worry about Companies over Charging and Crumbly old Concrete.   Cetaceans on Cocaine may make an interesting TV program, though Cameron observing Communion would be a bit bizarre. Changing over Carpets may be better than Clinging onto Cliffs, but panting for CoC is just perverse.  

Come on Centurions!
